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 language maps

[edit]

I want to make updates in the files listed below, because Armenian is no longer spoken over a territory in Azerbaijan since 2023, after the flight of Nagorno-Karabakh Armenians and the collapse of the breakaway Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh (Republic of Artsakh) in 2023. (The maps lumped together, have the same design and color pattern.)

@Oirattas: File:Indo-European Language Family Branches in Eurasia.png is already able to be overwritten by anyone, and the Artsakh change is there. This request might take a while to furfill, please be patient. The other three files that start with Indo-European can now be overwritten. Abzeronow (talk) 17:47, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
First three that start with Languages of Europe are done. Abzeronow (talk) 20:55, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

These are the remaining maps which need to be updated and be allowed to be overwritten for the updates reflecting the sudden dramatic demographic change in 2023. (The maps lumped together, have the same design and color pattern.) Updating all these files will take time. You can monitor the updates and changes. That is it.

Allow overwriting of File:China Youth League logo.svg

[edit]

I have found a new version of it, which is a new version launched on the official website and corresponds to the corresponding government documents. 冰川寒焰 (talk) 15:17, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can you link it so I can compare? Abzeronow (talk) 20:26, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It has some changes in color tone, not as bright as the current version. The file provides standardized chromaticity values：   (R237, G44, B37) 、   (R253, G207, B48). 冰川寒焰 (talk) 07:12, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Togo is incorrectly colored on the map as it has an HDI of 0.547, not between 0.450 and 0.500. --The2016 (talk) 01:05, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Allow overwriting of File:International_Cricket_Council_members_(by_status)_2017.svg

[edit]

Two countries have changed status and I would like to update the map to reflect that Moszczynski (talk) 14:39, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like I might need to split this file since the current name is supposed to reflect 2017 status. I could rename the post-2017 versions to File:International_Cricket_Council_members_(by_status)_Current.svg Abzeronow (talk) 17:08, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Fine by me. Moszczynski (talk) 06:25, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
✓ Done You can now overwrite the file with current in it. I'll restore the 2017 version after CommonsDelinker is finished with universal replace. {{Current}} also added. Abzeronow (talk) 18:38, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Allow overwriting of File:Flag_of_Chinese_Taipei_for_Universiade.svg

[edit]

The current file on Wikimedia Commons is terribly wrong. There is an official jpg version of the flag from the CTUSF offcial website https://www.ctusf.org.tw/_images/about/flag.jpg, I hope to upload a new, better and more accurate one to Wikimedia Commons, thank you. MarsAoki (talk) 15:00, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is a 2017 version that somewhat matches but was reverted. @Jitcji: @Fry1989: @Plasamas: for their thoughts. Abzeronow (talk) 17:15, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Actully, that version is also wrong. If you see the "Blue sky with white sun" emblem in the flag, you will find out that in the actual CTUSF version of the emblem, the spikes are actully longer. You can compare this file with File:Logo of Chinese Taipei University Sports Federation.svg. I don't know why, and the CTUSF didin't explain the reason for this difference, but the file should present the real outlook of the flag. Thank you. MarsAoki (talk) 12:19, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The version uploaded on 2017 August 14 appears to be superiorly constructed. I have no comments in regards to the colours. Fry1989 eh? 16:18, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Allow overwriting of File:Chinese Olympic Committee logo.svg

[edit]

Since 2014, Chinese Olympic Committee has changed their emblem. They changed the ratio between PRC national flag and the Olympic Rings. You can find the new version in this PDF file https://new.inews.gtimg.com/tnews/9a4a01a8/4206/9a4a01a8-4206-4b63-bca6-7edf9c4423c8.pdf(Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympics - Guidelines for the protection of rights). I've once uploaded the new version to Wikimedia Commons but somehow got deleted. I hope to upload a new, better and more accurate one to Wikimedia Commons, thank you. MarsAoki (talk) 15:14, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pg. 12 of the pdf? I can't read Chinese so I can only go by images. (from what I understand you want the one with the PRC flag and the smaller Olympic rings?). Abzeronow (talk) 17:20, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, in the new version (since 2014), PRC flag got bigger and Olympic rings got smaller. The old version (with smaller PRC flag) has been abondoned for 10 years. MarsAoki (talk) 12:11, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Allow overwriting File:ASEAN and East Timor.svg

[edit]

User:Paul_012 deemed, the maps of File:ASEAN and East Timor.svg, File:ASEAN and Sri Lanka.svg, and File:ASEAN and Papua New Guinea (map) - since 2013.svg inappropriate and confusing as it shows South and Southeast Asia as a floating island with the rest of Asia missing. Making it a ineffective and confusing locator map, unlike its EU accession map counterparts. As uploader of the latter two, I would like to standardize this. In theory it should look like this. Overwrite is preferred to show on different pages and languages, but a new upload is also fine.Kaliper1 (talk) 07:13, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be OK with you changing your uploads to look more like that political map. For the first one though, I'd like to hear thoughts from @Hwi.padam: @Seloloving: on this proposed change. Abzeronow (talk) 18:48, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have no idea on the approriate or expected format of the map. Do whatever you guys think being suitable. Hwi.padam (talk) 02:20, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Allow overwriting File:CFL OTT Jersey.png and File:CFL EDM Jersey.png

[edit]

Hello, I originally created the files File:CFL OTT Jersey.png and File:CFL EDM Jersey.png on Wikipedia but another user transferred them to Wikipedia Commons. I am trying to make updates to the images based on the 2024 uniforms, but the error message states that only the original uploader is able to do this. I am requesting that overwriting be allowed for these files since I'm assuming the "original uploader" cannot be corrected. Thank you. Cmm3 (talk) 13:11, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
