Allow overwriting of File:ParadiseLost1674CopyB.pdf
The current version (direct from Internet Archive) is a 168-page PDF. Each PDF page is an image of a two-page spread in the original. I have made a modified 336-page version with the images split so that there is one original document page per PDF page for ease of proofreading on Wikisource.

Allow overwriting of File:Ao3-screenshot.png
The resolution update to this file in 2021 added large white borders, which makes it look unsightly when embedded in Wikipedia articles because it takes up too much space. I would like to upload an edit which crops off the the white borders (while keeping the red header bar intact). This file is used on several Wikipedia pages, which is why I would like to overwrite it, so I don't have to edit lots of pages. CauliflowerMoon (talk) 06:04, 17 April 2026 (UTC)

Perspective correction following Commons:Overwriting_existing_files#Minor_improvements. RIMOLA (talk) 09:14, 17 April 2026 (UTC)
- I give you credit for persistence. Again, I feel uneasy about making changes to other people's work when they're not active to consent or say no. The first time, you sounded like you were very ambitious about changes, have you scaled back on the changes you want to make? Abzeronow (talk) 01:54, 18 April 2026 (UTC)
Allow overwriting of File:Pewdiepie head shot.jpg
Original video exact frame founded and screenshot using mpv with highest resolution possible and also upscaled. The current one upscaled from a lower resolution source so it is a bit poor oil painting like. Giga Bang (talk) 11:10, 17 April 2026 (UTC)
Allow overwriting of File:Generation_timeline_simple.svg
Hi, I added the Generation Beta to this image, as the page already exists (Generation_Beta), and would like to update it. No changes excepts a new block in the top right. Thanks !(talk) 16:14, 17 April 2026 (UTC)
- I feel like this should be discussed before the change is made since we don't have a definite endpoint on Generation Alpha yet so it would be en:WP:CRYSTAL to put Generation Beta up now. You are of course free to create your own svg with Gen Beta on it. Abzeronow (talk) 01:59, 18 April 2026 (UTC)

The current version fixed the highlight but it drastically compromised the colors and looks like old unrestored painting. I just reduced the high levels from the original high resolution uploaded previously there. Giga Bang (talk) 10:30, 18 April 2026 (UTC)
