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.

Allow overwriting of File:Jus sanguinis world.svg

Allow overwriting of files in Category:SVG locator maps of states in India (red location map scheme)

[edit]
List of files (166)

These 166 locator map files of India in this category have the following issues and overall revision is required:

  • New administrative regions and borders introduced by administrative district reorganization have not been updated
  • Some administrative region borders are incorrectly represented
  • Coloring is not uniform
  • Some objects are misaligned
  • Special markers have incorrect shapes

I would like to request permission to overwrite in order to upload modified versions that will fix these issues. I know this may take a long time due to the large number of files involved, but I would ask for your understanding. --Lee6597 (talk) 06:32, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Allow overwriting of File:X icon - Gray.svg and File:X logo twitter new brand icon.svg

[edit]

I would like to overwrite these two files with a derived version of File:X icon.svg, which would have a more accurate 'X' shape and would also be more optimized (around 323 bytes). I would keep each icon respective colors.

The license should also be updated to use {{PD-textlogo}} and {{Trademarked}}, as all the revisions of both logos would fall below the treshold of originality.

I would also like to update the author and source to match the new uploads. It's moon (talk) 23:26, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
