Since August 2023, only users with Autopatrol rights may overwrite files uploaded by other users. You may request autopatrol rights here in the Autopatrol section. 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 or the original uploader of the file.


Allow overwriting of File:DOG Football.jpg

The current version looks... outdated, becuz it was last updated in 2011, so I made a newer version of it. Please allow me to replace the current version with the version I made in 2026.

Moving the file and either changing the redirect or deleting it (if you really want the file name) sounds better to me. Abzeronow (talk) 19:42, 26 July 2026 (UTC)

Hello,

As agreed with the original author Mediatus on his user talk page, I would like to overwrite these 7 SVG files with a version where I flattened the deeply nested groups. Some SVG renderers (rsvg) cannot display images with such a deep nesting level. Apart from this change, the files are identical. Aiiike (talk) 11:29, 26 July 2026 (UTC)

Allow overwriting of File:Swiss Indoors logo.svg

Hi, I am trying to overwrite our logo since its not allowed to use our logo without the ATP500. Thanks in advance. Swiss Indoors (talk) 15:03, 23 July 2026 (UTC)

@Abzeronow: I thought we kept historical logos.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 00:42, 24 July 2026 (UTC)
We do. If the ATP 500 is a more recent addition, I'll have to revert or split (and since that seems like an objection, I might have to do that anyway.) Abzeronow (talk) 00:44, 24 July 2026 (UTC)
OK, removed template pending answer from requestor. Abzeronow (talk) 00:47, 24 July 2026 (UTC)
Thank you for checking, just so you understand why we request it: We have several problems reminding everyone to not use our old logo/logo without the ATP logo. So it would be more efficient if it doesn't pop up everywhere. So am I allowed to overwrite? Swiss Indoors (talk) 07:00, 24 July 2026 (UTC)
OK, User:Jeff G. was correct to object. However, I can rename this file so it's clear it's the old logo. I could change or delete the redirect afterwards depending on your preference. Abzeronow (talk) 19:41, 24 July 2026 (UTC)
Yes please rename it and also there shouldn't be written "current" anymore. These are the ones I uploaded already one in black(pos), one white(neg), or do they need to be uploaded as svg?

Allow overwriting of 27 different New York gubernatorial and presidential election maps

These are the maps:

I've corrected borders for all 27 of these maps. There are border changes that occurred in years after some, if not all of these maps, that are incorrectly shown here, specifically involving the counties of Saint Lawrence and Franklin, Hamilton and Essex, Allegany and Livingston, Queens (now Nassau) and Suffolk, and New York and Westchester (now Bronx).

Take your time on this. There's another minor border change (South Brother Island in April 1964 from Queens to the Bronx) that I caught that occurred in 1964 as well as a Queens/Nassau border that was different in 1898 so there's another 81 files that I have ready to update...

Allow overwriting of File:Vietnam_location_map.svg

If viewed closely, such as on a graphics editor software like Inkscape, one may notice that the old borders have been altered in a rough and almost rushed manner. (They were altered following the 2025 province merger in Vietnam)

Certain parts of the province borders either have gaps, undershoots/overshoots or some combination of the two. Original editor must've removed parts of the paths without cleaning up the errors.

I went on Inkscape to fix the borders and went to overwrite the new, edited images and only then did I realize I had to receive the autopatrol right to actually do so. Blueconcorde (talk) 17:36, 26 July 2026 (UTC)
