Allow overwriting of File:Nickelodeon 2009 logo.svg

@Abzeronow: I want to revert the File:Nickelodeon 2009 logo.svg to a previous version without registered trademark because a user namely Olliex2b was blocked for sockpuppets, also reverting file edits without resonable argument. Yayan550 (talk) 21:45, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Allow overwriting of File:Warsaw_City_Council_2014_Composition.svg

I would like to add an outline and change the colors of the chart to match the official party colors. If possible, I would like to ask for permission to change similar graphics from 2010 and 2006. Metalloviec (talk) 14:47, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

@Metalloviec: PO looks orange to me, and PiS looks blue. PO does use orange and blue while PiS uses blue, white and red but I think using orange for PO and blue for PiS works best. Unless it's the shading of blue that you want to change? Abzeronow (talk) 17:16, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

Allow overwriting of File:European Ancestry Large-ar.svg

I previously requested to overwrite the English Wikipedia File for European Ancestry since according to this Genetic Study by National Geographic: (https://web.archive.org/web/20160407092418/https://genographic.nationalgeographic.com/reference-populations-next-gen/) 5% of the Philippines is Southern European from Spanish colonization, and which, the previous SVG does not have the Philippines colored, which I rectified and upon which, the permission to upload a new version of the files was approved by you. I once again request to have a similar file but this time dedicated to Wikipedia in Arabic, to have a new version by me uploaded, to rectify the same out of date previous version, I hope that this request shall be granted like previous one as it has similar parameters, Thank Very Much.-Rene Bascos Sarabia Jr. (talk) 01:50, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

Allow overwriting of File:Unofficial flag of Nakhchivan (1991-1993).svg

Someone has erroneously changed the flag's stripe proportions to match Azerbaijan's and their only explanation was "Nakhchivan is Azerbaijani, not Libyan". This is not a valid reason, nor is it correct for the flag in question (source for different stripe proportions). I would like to upload a new version that changes the stripe proportions back; however, I would not like to fully revert, as the colors in the latest version are better and its code is also more optimized. I have created a version of the file with the correct stripe proportions, yet keeping the latest version's colors and code optimization. Can this overwrite be allowed so I can fix the stripe proportions without changing the colors? 　–Nᴏ Lɪᴠᴇs Lᴇғᴛ 〈_Tᴀʟᴋ⁺〉 21:55, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
