Only users with Autopatrol rights may now overwrite files uploaded by other users. You may request autopatrol rights here. If you are currently ineligible for autopatrol rights, you may request an exception for a particular file on this page. This page is only for requests on the technical permission; proposals for file improvements should be made on the file talk page.

Make sure that your planned overwriting complies with the file overwriting guidelines.

The template that allows overwriting a file ({{Allow Overwriting}}) may be placed by any user with patrol rights.

Allow overwriting of "File:1959 Pattern Denison Parachute Smock - Front and Rear.jpg"

[edit]

I uploaded this to English wikipedia, but would like to replace the original with a version that has a solid background, however, although I am shown as the original uploader, as someone else migrated the file to Commons I am told, on attempting to upload a new version of the file, that I cannot replace the existing file as I am not the original uploader.Aodhdubh (talk) 02:43, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Are you just trying to change the background? Similar color? Abzeronow (talk) 11:06, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Allow overwriting of "Amazon_music_logo.svg"

[edit]

Please allow me to replace the current Amazon logo with a higher-resolution image that I have (Source from music.amazon.com). The new image is original and of high quality, while File:Amazon music logo.svg is a converted PNG. Thank you, IPooya (talk) 12:53, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your HD image link doesn't work for me. Abzeronow (talk) 16:39, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
works for me. note that the linked file is white on transparent, making it invisible to browsers that have a white background for their SVG viewer. The color can be easily edited, since it's all vector graphics.
And another thing to note: File:Amazon_music_logo.svg is currently a bitmap inside an SVG file, so if this request is declined, I recommend at least deleting the file in favour of File:Amazon_Music_Cyan.png. RiedleroD (talk) 14:13, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done for now. (Color of new version has to match). Abzeronow (talk) 11:08, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Allow overwriting of File:Serbia_politic_personality_icon.svg

[edit]

To correct colors of the flag to match File:Flag of Serbia.svg, and to add Coat of Arms, as it is recognizable and always used part of the flag. Ђидо (talk) 20:11, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'd allow the first but not the second part of your request. Abzeronow (talk) 17:00, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Why not? There are several icons in that category which contain CoA, and it does look better to include it, as flag is never used without one. Ђидо (talk) 05:27, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Why I am not allowed to update colors yet? Let discuss CoA more, but let me change colors. Ђидо (talk) 05:31, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'll do the overwrite permission when I can do it on my tablet, editing from my phone like I am right now is a bit of a pain. I'll explain my reasoning on the CoA soon. Abzeronow (talk) 10:26, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You can now correct the colors. Most of the icons in this category don't have CoA's. Kenya doesn't have it, and if Kenya doesn't have it's everpresent CoA, then why would Serbia? Abzeronow (talk) 10:42, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There is Republika Srpska icon, which has same tricolor. Ђидо (talk) 03:49, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Allow overwriting...

[edit]

Could I overwrite them with higher resolution maps, also correct boundaries according to [1](Check page 12), Which is the last official document in which Ensenada had 22 delegations, (Also delegation numbers are set according the document; for Ensenada City, 0 indicates it which is omitted when counting delegations in official documents; if required I can set any other term instead of 0), the boundaries in subsequent revisions of Ensenada and San Quintin, are based on these boundaries.

  • File:Delegaciones del municipio de San Quintín.png (Preview; Although the boundary of the delegaciones is more consistent than in the Ensenada maps, the municipal boundary is wrong; Also, there is an observation for the proposed map, because of Colonet delegation was divided between San Quintín and Ensenada, there is still no information on how San Quintín has organized such territory, so it will be provisionally assigned ND. (Not Defined; Spanish No Definido)).

Thanks and sorry bad English if it was somewhat uncomprensible. XIC123 (talk) 04:50, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you're more comfortable requesting in Spanish, you can do so. There's no requirement to make requests in English. Your English seems fine to me anyway. Abzeronow (talk) 05:51, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
OK; I don't have any issues with attempting to write in English most of the time. I'm working on improving my communication skills in English, but sometimes I might end up writing in "Spanglish" or making grammar and syntax mistakes, especially in longer sentences. I’m open to corrections and willing to clarify my intentions if needed.
BTW, Can I overwrite those files now, or are they still under review? XIC123 (talk) 22:06, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've added to each one but the last one. The new version of the cost of arms is slightly different and I'd need a source on it. Abzeronow (talk) 04:21, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
