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:ElectoralCollege2024.svg

[edit]

This map hasn't been updated for a while, and is used on highly visible articles like w:2024 United States presidential election. Several states have been unanimously called (CT, MN, NE, NH, NJ, WI) since it was updated. SilverLocust 💬 11:28, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done. I've placed the template. Ratekreel (talk) 12:00, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Allow overwriting of File:1976 Bertone Gandini Ferrari Rainbow.jpg and File:Marcello Gandini in 1976.jpg

[edit]

Higher resolution version found here: [1]. I'll also overwrite the extracted image File:Marcello Gandini in 1976.jpg using lossless crop to maintain quality. Spheroidite (talk) 15:43, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see two potential issues with the file, if it was created in 1976, URAA applies, if 1975, public domain if published before 1978, and I don't see any information on when it was published. Abzeronow (talk) 17:25, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Due to this complexity I may just leave it alone. Thanks anyway! Spheroidite (talk) 19:31, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Allow overwriting of the File:Science and Invention April 1926 - How Photos Are Cabled Across Atlantic.png

[edit]

Source-level image reproduction (300 dpi, 2436 x 3476 pixels) instead of the current version (1,138 × 1,644 pixels, ~145 dpi) which was probably exported using pdftoppm from Poppler (because I tried and was surprised by its limitation). Note that the new image will still have inherent JPEG artifacts (detailed file changes):

Higher-resolution (300 dpi) photo. Artifacts are inherent from the source, as the image is composed of two layers: a base two-level black-and-white JBIG2 image and half-resolution grayscale (with quarter-resolution alpha) JPEG image.

@Abzeronow: The high-resolution file has been uploaded. Unless a closer-to-original source appeared (i.e. someone re-scanned the page), it is unlikely that this requires further changes, so you can now remove the overwrite permission. - Gacelperfinian (talk) 17:07, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
