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:Gerhard_Schubert_(Unternehmen)_logo.svg

[edit]

The logo is no longer used. A new logo already exists on Wikipedia. The old logo appears in Google searches and causes confusion Agragr365 (talk) 11:08, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So if a new logo already exists as a separate file, why do you want to overwrite the old one? And overwrite it with what? --Rosenzweig τ 12:02, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don´t know how to replace the old one. Is it possible to delete the old one? Agragr365 (talk) 12:15, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Replace it where? And which file is the new logo? You have not uploaded any files, and File:Schubert Logo.svg does not really look different. And no, we keep historic logos and don't delete them. --Rosenzweig τ 12:34, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's just a minor font adjustment, but the issue arises when some clients and partners search for the logo online and end up using the outdated version in external materials, resulting in widespread use of outdated resources. Agragr365 (talk) 12:49, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You did not say where you want to replace the file. The only place in the WMF wikis where it is still in use (except for an archived page) is Wikidata, d:Q1512510. --Rosenzweig τ 12:57, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, can you please update the logo in wikidata? Or tell me how I can do that by myself? Agragr365 (talk) 10:21, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have added File:Schubert Logo.svg to Wikidata d:Q1512510, marking it as the preferred and current logo. --Rosenzweig τ 10:16, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Allow overwriting of File:Member countries of the Virgo scientific collaboration.svg

[edit]

This is a map which is susceptible to be updated (in this case it does need an update as Switzerland joined the member countries), which has already previously been done several times by the author. Thanks! Thuiop (talk) 15:37, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Auguel: ReneeWrites (talk) 17:04, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@ReneeWrites: Do I need to allow it? Or can you do it? Either way I agree it should allow overwritting. Auguel (talk) 13:48, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Auguel: Nah, I just wanted to ping you because you're a still-active user who was actively maintaining it and you may have wanted to make this edit yourself. ReneeWrites (talk) 15:11, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Allow overwriting: File:Fort voor het water.jpg

[edit]

I am the original uploader of this file on nl.wikipedia.org and I have the original file made by the camera on my computer. The file on commons extremely compressed (130 kb) because Mediawiki could not compress files back then. The file I have is 700 kb (also not extremely large, but better) and has not the artefacts of the compression. Marco Roepers (talk) 16:12, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The color looks darker on this version so it might be better to upload as a new file. Abzeronow (talk) 20:06, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Abzeronow -- Maybe it's me, but the current version seems to be overexposed and green-tinged. JayCubby (talk) 21:04, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@GPSLeo: I'm on the fence about this one, source appears to be different and the current version seems a bit overexposed. Thoughts? Abzeronow (talk) 04:04, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I would also say that it would be better to upload as new file also because of the water mark. GPSLeo (talk) 08:39, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
