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.

The following files are scans in Black and White, scaled down from the originals or have a gold framing (example justified in name) not part from the original artwork:

• File:Brooklyn Museum - Sinchi Roca, Second Inca, 1 of 14 Portraits of Inca Kings - overall.jpg
• File:Brooklyn Museum - Lloqui Ypanqui, Third Inca, 1 of 14 Portraits of Inca Kings - overall.jpg
• File:Brooklyn Museum - Mayta Capac, Fourth Inca, 1 of 14 Portraits of Inca Kings - overall.jpg
• File:Brooklyn Museum - Inca Roca, Sixth Inca, 1 of 14 Portraits of Inca Kings - overall.jpg
• File:Brooklyn Museum - Yahuar Huacac Yupanqui, Seventh Inca, 1 of 14 Portraits of Inca Kings - overall.jpg
• File:Brooklyn Museum - Viracocha, Eighth Inca, 1 of 14 Portraits of Inca Kings - overall.jpg
• File:Brooklyn Museum - Pachacuti, Tenth Inca, 1 of 14 Portraits of Inca Kings - overall.jpg
• File:Brooklyn Museum - Tupac Yupanqui, Eleventh Inca, 1 of 14 Portraits of Inca Kings - framed.jpg
• File:Brooklyn Museum - Huayca Capac, Twelfth Inca - overall.jpg

Updated files in HQ will be sourced from their respective Brooklyn Museum source url. For the Viracocha and Tupac Yupanqui ones, their respective cropped versions were uploaded before the originals were to be overwritten. --Mayimbú (talk) 05:18, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Done for Fourth, Seventh and Eighth.  Not done for the rest since it would violate the overwriting guidelines (the one with framed in the name needs to have a frame). Abzeronow (talk) 17:07, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This image is currently encoded as RGBA, despite the fact that storing any alpha information is unnecessary, because the image is completely opaque. Correcting the image to RGB with the help of OxiPNG and ZopfliPNG reduces the image down to 16.3 KB. I would like to replace the image with this corrected version.

This image is currently encoded as RGBA, despite the fact that this image is also completely opaque. Over an image with this large of resolution, storing redundant/useless alpha data for every pixel adds up. Correcting the image to RGB with the help of OxiPNG reduces the image down to 9.57 MB. I would like to replace the image with this corrected version. Obscure2020 (talk) 07:49, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This image is currently have a size of 2,751 × 1,481 (169 KB), that's really to big for SVG files (unless for more complex) because the file may containing raster graphics. So, in this case i will upload the similar logo but with smaller file size. Could @ReneeWrites: or @Abzeronow: please request to allow this overwritting? Thank you. Yayan550 (talk) 13:54, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Done The size is fine, but you can overwrite so it no longer has raster graphics. Abzeronow (talk) 20:28, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The buttons have a gradient with made with 3 distinct colors. The inside 2 colors are currently more of an orange-yellow than the outside orange color. I'd like to make this less yellow, as it is a little close to the yellow button. The orange could be a little closer to red. . The hue (from 0 to 360) for red is 0. For yellow it's 60. For the orange button as it currently is, the outer orange has a hue of 32, while the middle and center colors have a hue of 40. I'm changing the middle two to be 32.

I would like to request edit access for the file above because the Mauritania-Western Sahara border seems off as it thinner than the other borders.

I would like to update this file to include some countries that have recently hosted women's T20 international matches (Ghana and Gibraltar in 2024 and Greece in 2023). I have updated the file many times before but cannot do so now for some reason (I have auto-patrol status on wikipedia, perhaps that doesn't apply to wikimedia?) Thanks.

This is a chart of polio cases per year, originally created by User:Anxietycello with data to 2018. I've been updating it yearly since 2000.

Typo "insert" -> should be "inset" as per https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/inset-map: An inset map is a smaller map to help the user maintain a geographical frame of reference. Flix11 (talk) 10:15, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly the history of the file is a bit of a mess, but I'm inclined to request that you upload as a new file since changing from black to blue would not be within overwriting guidelines. Abzeronow (talk) 17:51, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
