Make sure that your planned overwriting does comply with the file overwriting guidelines.

The template for to allow the overwriting {{Allow Overwriting}} can be placed by every user with patrol rights.

Allow Overwriting (Tanzania Road Maps)[edit]

Hello, Can I please request the following files have the ability to overwriting. File:T12 Tansania.svg, File:T13 Tansania.svg, File:T14 Tansania.svg, File:T15 Tansania.svg, File:T16 Tansania.svg. I have updates to the route network, the last update to these were in 2012. These files are present on infoboxes and several list pages across English, Swahili, Germany and Norwegian Wikipedia. Sputink (talk) 17:03, 29 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Actually Reading the guidelines, I am not sure if I should be overwriting these files. Basically the maps show the Road within the overall road network. The Roads are the same, the overall network has expanded. I guess for refecence you can see File:T9 Tansania.svg for what I did. Advice? Sputink (talk) 17:48, 29 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
✓ Done I think this should be fine here. I also added the {{Current}} as it makes sense to have these files always up to date. GPSLeo (talk) 15:43, 30 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Allow Overwriting of File:Masondixonmarker.jpg[edit]

Hello, I'd like to update the image File:Masondixonmarker.jpg to a higher quality version from the same source text.

Allow overwriting of File:Loui Agard Hawaiian Flag.svg[edit]

Allow Overwriting of File:Arithmetic coding example.svg[edit]

I'd like permission to overwrite File:Arithmetic coding example.svg with a minor correction. The upper bound on the final result (lower right corner, text 0.110010(1) = 0.11011) is incorrect. The final number should read 0.110011.

Technical details: The binary fraction 0.110010(1) means 0.1100101111111... repeating, which approaches 0.110011, not 0.11011. A "0" is missing. I have the fixed SVG file ready; it only changes one byte in the file (line 172, column 477). No other graphics needed to be edited, the box containing the text has plenty of extra space.

✓ Done @Autopistero20502020 I could also grant you autopatrol rights that you do not need to make individual requests. You only should explain why you have so many files they got deleted as copyright violations. GPSLeo (talk) 16:01, 30 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
This is explained by the fact that the files containing the registered rights have been deleted. I made a mistake when I found out that copyright should not be included without the permission of the author or owner of the images. I should have checked the images for copyright or not and I apologise. Let's say, it was a rookie mistake, because I didn't know the rules well and something I had to learn over time. I have been working on improving the Wikipedia styles of the articles on infrastructure such as roads, highways and motorways.
Thank you and best regards. Autopistero20502020 (talk) 17:04, 30 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Okay, I also granted you autopatrol right. So you do not need to request your next file overwrites. GPSLeo (talk) 18:49, 30 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Allow overwriting of File:Rosary - usage.svg[edit]

I have prepared a version with regularly spaced and sized beads, aligned objects to centres, as well as modified colours so that related beads have edges of different colours but the same centre colour which more intuitively notes their similarities of use. The colour change will require users to edit any page that notes the colours in a caption but I consider this a small and easy task and well worth the effort in light of the increased overall utility especially as I have tested the colour scheme under multiple colour blindness conditions and they are all readily distinguishable which cannot also be said of the current version.

I would like to overwrite this file, as it is necessary to unhighlight the Western Sahara on this map. The standard on Wikipedia's world maps is the existence of a border between Morocco and Western Sahara. This is in accordance with the internationally recognized Moroccan borders. Therefore, the fact that French is a widely used language in Morocco is insufficient reason in this case to highlight Western Sahara with the same color as Morocco. The Western Sahara territory could be highlighted if there were more than 20% French speakers within it, but this is not the case.

This same modification has already been done on this other French language-related map: File:Map-Francophone World.svg. However, it did not allow me to perform the modification on the file for which I am requesting overwrite permission. Thank you very much in advance.

Allow Overwriting of File:Brosen windrose-br.svg[edit]

I would like to make corrections to this breton language file: the intermediary cardinal points (north-west, north-east, south-west, south-east, and others) are not at all correct and should be shown as "Gw, B, M, G" (Gwalarn, Biz, Mervent, Gevred) and not as "NK, NR, SK, SR"! Thank you in advance Adriendelucca (talk) 23:04, 2 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

As I assume there was a reason for the current version I would suggest to upload your version as a new file. GPSLeo (talk) 06:59, 3 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
NK, NR etc stand for direct translations from English and are never used in Breton (North-West > Norzh-Kornôg, North-East > Norzh-Reter...), there are distinct words for all eight cardinal points (cf. Roudoù-avel anvioù klok.svg), composite words like "north-west" are a mistake in Breton Adriendelucca (talk) 11:14, 3 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Allow Overwriting of File:Pala Empire.png[edit]

This image was created by me in 7/7/2022 and was uploaded at the same day. but it was removed by Wikipedia for not having a proper source, which was understandable. I created it from a vague description with a not citable or reputable source. I found it in a YouTube thumbnail of gaming video I think. I posted it in reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/bangladesh/comments/vtjvq0/পল_সমরজযর_পতক_কউ_সন_রজবশর_পতক_সগরহ_করত_পরল/ in 7/7/2022 and found out back then in 7th century concept of flags weren't as defined. but the same flag is appearing in Wikipedia uploaded by a bot in October 2022.

I want to revise the background color, some details of the emblem, and the flag ratio (currently inaccurate). The edits won't make this file a complete different artwork but instead a modification to make it more accurate. Hwi.padam (talk) 23:50, 3 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Changes background color and aspect ration sounds not like a minor change. GPSLeo (talk) 07:45, 4 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I think that it is acceptable with flag designs because the change in aspect ratio & color shade won't change how people recognize the flag in this case (it will be still a blue pennon with the emblem and arrow). However, since we expect everything to be most accurate as possible, the existing file illustrated the flag's ratio complete wrong corresponding to the regulation (the base:height ratio should be 1:1.5 instead of 1:2 like this) and some details of the current file is also misrepresenting the actual ensign [2], I believe that this file should be updated. This is fixing what is being wrong, not changing a French flag into a Russian flag or an Italian flag.
Please consider. Hwi.padam (talk) 21:09, 4 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Our rules are just that we do not make major changes to files if they are already used widely. The question whether to new version might be more accurate does not matter. GPSLeo (talk) 07:26, 5 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
