Rocky187[edit]

I'd like to update existing pictures of Swiss parlamentarians via the parlament.ch Website Thank you. Rocky187 (talk) 13:08, 28 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Do you think that the overwrite you did at File:LBS SR05-100172.tif was within the file overwriting guideline? I see that you tried to overwrite File:Walter Frey.jpg. Do you have the same image with a higher resolution? GPSLeo (talk) 13:21, 28 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
No, File:LBS SR05-100172.tif was probably not within the guideline. Yes, I have a much higher resolution and it's also in color. Is this a major change?--Rocky187 (talk) 16:25, 28 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
A color version of a black and white image is definitely always a major change and has to be uploaded as new files. Generally if you are not sure if something might be a major change or not always consider it as a major change and upload it under a new name. GPSLeo (talk) 17:01, 28 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Star Garnet[edit]

I occasionally encounter images that require minor cropping, updating, etc. Thank you. Star Garnet (talk) 21:53, 28 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Crops like you did on File:Edwin Meese III, Counsellor to the President ME784-7.jpg or File:David Meade Woodson.jpg or the color change at File:Charles A. Bowsher (20383297820).jpg are not minor and need to be uploaded as a new file. None of your recent file overwrites did comply with the Commons:Overwriting existing files guideline. GPSLeo (talk) 07:08, 29 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Cropping disproportional, blank background (explicitly allowed via the guideline example) and cropping a signature that shouldn't have been in the upload to begin with would seem to me to fall under "minor cropping," while desaturating a discolored image would seem to fall under "minor and uncontroversial color correction." If they don't, I'd encourage more explicit definitions and examples on the guideline page. Star Garnet (talk) 07:29, 29 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
"a signature that shouldn't have been in the upload" Why do you know that the uploader tree years ago did not want to have the signature included? Changes of the aspect ratio should always be considered as not minor as they might break the layout of a page where the photo is used. The color correction you did is not minor. Here is an example on what can be considered as minor color correction. With simply uploading the file as a new one you bypass all potential disputes without having to think about if that might be considered as a minor change. Having a minor change uploaded as a new file does not harm anything. GPSLeo (talk) 08:18, 29 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
The uploader with the signature upload should have uploaded the signature as a separate file if they wanted it on Commons; both have potential value but they are separate images that happened to be download together from Google Books. "Changes of the aspect ratio should always be considered as not minor" seems arbitrary, especially when an editor has checked the current usage of the file to ensure that it serves as an improvement across the board. Is that merely an opinion on desaturation, or is it based in policy somewhere? While I certainly create new versions when I believe my changes aren't minor (so, any restoration or anything that changes the composition of the image), being judicious about creating new versions of files helps prevent Commons from turning into even more of a jumbled heap and helps prevent edit wars, other conflict, and unnecessary edits on other Wikis. Star Garnet (talk) 18:03, 29 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
"The uploader with the signature upload should have uploaded the signature as a separate file if they wanted it on Commons" that is not how it works. You want a file that is currently not on Commons so you have to upload a new file without making on older file unusable and asking the original uploader to act.

Obscure2020[edit]

I have been going through Wikimedia Commons improving PNG files specifically. I have replaced low-resolution scans with higher-resolution sources, I have repaired poorly-cropped images, and I have also been losslessly optimizing a large variety of images to reduce file size. I would like to be able to continue this work. Thank you. Obscure2020 (talk) 15:15, 30 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
What is the actual benefit of the versions you are uploading with the comment "Optimized with OxiPNG and ZopfliPNG"? GPSLeo (talk) 18:41, 31 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
The filesize is smaller. They're also often more correct, if you look into technical specifics. You'd be surprised how many photos, graphics, and screenshots get exported as RGBA data even though they're entirely opaque, making the Alpha channel useless extra data just waiting to be trimmed off. In other cases, pixel-art images or images with limited range of colors can be reduced to Grayscale or Palette mode, allowing each pixel to be shrunk to 8 bits, 4 bits, 2 bits, or (in extreme cases) 1 bit per pixel without changing the colors of any of the pixels in any way! I specifically target lossless transformations. Examples of files that simply did not need to be as big as they used to be include Ornithogalum, CA rule110s, Lavaurs-12, and Windows 1.0 Easter Egg. (Visit these links and scroll down to the version history. Compare the filesize before and after I optimized them.) Obscure2020 (talk) 21:51, 31 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Zacwill[edit]

I frequently overwrite files (particularly maps and engravings) in order to improve their resolutions (1 2 3) or make minor crops (4), in accordance with COM:OVERWRITE. Thank you. Zacwill (talk) 22:43, 30 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
At File:Cruikshank - Old Blucher beating the Corsican Big Drum.png, File:Belted plaids worn in the Highlands of Scotland.jpg, File:Laxdaela Saga - Map - Project Gutenberg eText 17803.jpg and some other files the new version is totally different to the old one. They should have been uploaded as new files. GPSLeo (talk) 18:35, 31 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I don't see how the new version of the Cruikshank engraving is "totally different". It is the exact same image, just in better resolution and with slightly different colouring. These changes seem to be acceptable under the guidelines. If I have overstepped the mark in other cases, then I apologize and promise to be more cautious in future. Zacwill (talk) 18:59, 31 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
The colors are not just slightly different. One is the original color of the old paper and at the other one the color was changed to become white. GPSLeo (talk) 17:01, 1 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Well, if you so strongly feel that the overwrite was unacceptable, then I suggest you undo it. I don't think you would be benefiting Wikimedia, since the original file was so low quality that the details of the engraving were illegible, but at least you would be following rules. Zacwill (talk) 18:30, 1 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

ArtSmir[edit]

Hello, I ask you to provide me with auto patrol rights, since I have experience in uploading files and am familiar with the basic licensing rules. I more than meet the formal requirements.

At File:Владимир-коллаж1.jpg you damaged the proportion and reduced the resolution. Why do you did you this? GPSLeo (talk) 16:46, 6 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I did this so that this collage would be displayed in the preview of an article about this city. Let me explain: when you hover your mouse over the link of an article of interest about a city in the presented list containing many cities, summary information and an image (if there is one in the article) are displayed. In my case, this did not happen, and after searching for the reasons, I decided to reduce the image resolution, after which the situation changed - the preview displayed everything correctly. This was likely because the collage was so busy and at such a high resolution that the standard Wikipedia preview tool simply couldn't handle it and was severely limited in its work. — ArtSmir (talk) 21:29, 6 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

源義信[edit]

Hi, I've been working on Commons for years with over 40,000 edits. Recently I found that I need the right to overwrite files uploaded by other users. While I am mainly working on old photographs and sometimes paintings, I need to overwrite many images of low quality (usually from bad sources) with high-quality images from better sources. Thank you. 源義信 (talk) 13:08, 12 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Why did you make this overwrite with a totally different file at File:Vua Tự Đức.jpg. And even if you are the original uploader do not make major changes like you did on File:Painter Lê Thị Lựu and her husband Ngô Thế Tân in Bắc Ninh, 1935.jpg one year after the original upload. GPSLeo (talk) 09:28, 14 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
As for File:Vua Tự Đức.jpg, why do you think its totally different? The previous file was imported by other users from a Flickr page. The Flickr user just downloaded the same file as I uploaded later, cropped it, and made some adjustment. What I did was uploading the higher resolution original image without those improvements. 源義信 (talk) 13:44, 14 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
As for File:Painter Lê Thị Lựu and her husband Ngô Thế Tân in Bắc Ninh, 1935.jpg, firstly, I consider it as a minor change because the two versions are the same photograph while the previous one is cropped (but the subject of the image was not changed). Thus when I found the higher resolution image, I replaced the former with it. I read the guideline and did not found that there is a time limit for minor improvements (as for me it's neither substantial changes or completely unrelated files). Secondly, the file is only used in one article and the update won't affect the use of this file in the article. 源義信 (talk) 13:51, 14 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
 Comment In my opinion this is a bit nitpicky. The user clearly has a large amount of quality edits and has been here long enough to deserve a permission like autopatrolled. —MATRIX! {user - talk? - useless contributions} 17:37, 15 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Bubba73[edit]

Hello, I thought that I had AutoPatrol rights, but I just tried to upload an improved version of someone else's photo, and it said that I didn't have the right. I've been uploading for well over 10 years, and I've uploaded probably 2,000-3,000 of my own photos and improved probably over 100. Bubba73 (talk) 07:24, 14 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Artificially upscaling like you are doing it is totally unaccented per the Commons:Overwriting existing files guideline. GPSLeo (talk) 09:51, 14 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
OK, I see it listed there, but I don't see why it is unacceptable. It makes a minor improvement to the sharpness, which is a good thing. Bubba73 (talk) 01:02, 15 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
It is easy enough to create a new file, but then (1) each one needs to link to the other, and (2) all of the links to the photo need to be updated to the new version. And, as far as I know, there is no easy/practical way to do that. Bubba73 (talk) 01:35, 15 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
And, by the way, the latest one that I was trying to improve was a photo that was 640x480 pixels! That was the standard resolution for an IBM PC (CGA graphics) in 1987! Some early, poor-quality digital cameras used that format (my wife had one). I sharpened it and upscaled it into something noticeably better, but I could not upload that improved version, simply because it was a larger file than the 1987 standard. Bubba73 (talk) 04:57, 15 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Also, I just tried to upload and uncropped version of a NASA Apollo photograph, but it would not allow me to do it. Bubba73 (talk) 05:38, 16 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Back to the original point, I request AutoPatrolled rights (which I thought I had.) Bubba73 (talk) 05:36, 16 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Changes like you did on File:Houghton MS Hyde 76 (1.1.xix) - George Psalmanazar.jpg should never be done to files. GPSLeo (talk) 18:50, 20 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Well the colorchange was maybe a thing of personal preference, i will upload those separately in the future. But sticking to George Psalmanazar, i think that changes like File:Psalmamazar Formosa.jpg or File:Psalmanazar2.jpg are useful overwrites. If that's not the case, you can of course just decline my request, since i don't need the permission then. Thanks. LukeTriton (talk) 14:49, 21 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

NorthTension[edit]

Recently I've just been attempting to resize to selection large files (specific Inkscape command, it shrinks the transparent canvas so an image doesn't have a ton of dead transparent space, cf this file history), harmonizing color schemes of flags (i;e the Soviet flags), and reverting and reporting vandalism issues (reports are on the Wikipedia Discord). While I still do vehemently disagree with the change in rules I would like to ask for autopatrol rights to continue to do the minor tweaks and fixes I've been doing for the past few months. I do recognize that there were multiple copyright violations listed on me but those were a result of uploading on a friend's behalf (actual warnings by Yann) and then resizing some of his files after he ended up uploading them themselves (error on HapHaxion's fault that caused me to accidentally get flagged). Since I've been kind of completely wiped as a result of that rule change and other stuff going on in my life I've been taking time recently to getting an actual proper understanding of COM:L and COM:TOO with the help of Mdaniels5757 and I'd like to be able to continue contributing the way I have for the past few months.

OfficialURL[edit]

About three years ago, I set out to replace the ugly gray backgrounds on the files in this category. They clashed quite heavily with the infoboxes in which they were used, e.g. w:Uniform polyhedron compound. Later, when I learned how to do it, I started replacing similar files' white backgrounds with transparent backgrounds, such as in this category (the files with Schlegel in their name). Unfortunately, at the time, I didn't have time to continue this change, and now the files are mismashed between transparent and not. I'd like autopatrol so I can complete this change.

    @Paradise Chronicle Rollback (and filemover) are administrative tools requiring some amount of trust.

But I am still struggling with the side effects of a block for socking in the German Wikipedia in 2019 (from my point of view I was applying WPːIAR, none of my edits had to be reverted at the time). Anyway, the block in the German Wikipedia was the motivation (per the blocking CU) for the investigation which lead to the initial indef. block in the en.wiki in 2019. (There were two, one in 2019, and the second a few months ago). In both investigations, no diffs of problematic edits were shown (The edits that caused concern where the ones in which I added sources to unsourced content) and to my knowledge no edits where reverted due to my blocks. Yes I did have two accounts, also admitted to it to the ArbCom over a year ago (which at the time took now action), it only became a problem recently. I plan to appeal the ban when I feel the time has come.
    The edit warring block for 1 week was removed by the blocking admin after ca. an hour and a half. I had already reverted to the version (04:24, 10 July 2020), the blocking admin asked me to in the explanation of the block. This is the version, he asked me to revert to. I reverted further because the blocking admin had advised me to revert fully (07:02, 10 July 2020) which then later led to a confusion. Here the whole discussion. I hold no remorse against the blocking admin and I do not believe that the short block should be an issue anymore.
    I believe Wikipedia is a great project and am so far committed to add to it what I can and am allowed to. I also edit in the Spanish and Alemannic wikis and began to add commons files to other wikiprojects as well. Paradise Chronicle (talk) 20:53, 30 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

 Not done You don't get banned by ArbCom over a "misunderstanding". You have a pattern of problematic behavior and a refusal to acknowledge it. You can't be trusted with advanced permissions. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 08:45, 1 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I'd be glad if you were to point to some "problematic behavior" here on commons by me, as for the moment I believe I am doing alright. On the problematic behavior I was asked for an explanation and it is my personal opinion that it is due to a misunderstanding, I hope I am allowed to have some freedom of expression and thought. I do not refuse to acknowledge it, I acknowledged that I socked to the arbcom and it did not sanction me at the time, only over a year later. I believe it is obvious to all that the ArbCom made a mistake, also members of the Arbcom themselves were reasoning similarly. Here is one statement by one arb that they messed it up in 2021 when they let me go without a sanction. Here a similar one by another Arb. But in the following months I earned myself multiple recognitions, which I believe one only gets if one does something good for wikipedia. Somehow also the ArbCom applied WPːIAR, because their not sanctioning me earned Wikipedia many more articles, therefore expanding the freely accessible knowledge to much more content. In my opinion it would have been better to have blocked at the moment for some time, taking into account that I admitted it by myself in the aim to clean my name. Wouldn't you also believe you are right, if the ArbCom makes you understand that you have noting to worry about? This is what I understood from my not sanction, and was quite transparent about my coming clear on the block towards the arbcom on my userpage for much over a year.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 17:33, 1 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

BahYajé e Y4guarEtã[edit]

Contribuo ativamente com recursos de mídia a partir de um projeto da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina em parceria com a SETEC no Brasil, a equipe de cadastro Wiki que ajudo a gerenciar tem mais três pessoas e no trabalho de revisão as vezes é necessário renomear algum arquivo e isso me leva a necessidade do estatuto de movedor de ficheiros. As ações de renomeação não entram em conflito com a política de renomeação e meu trabalho fica restrito apenas às mídias do projeto. Desde já agradeço. Thank you.

User:Paradise Chronicle[edit]

I assume that I've requested over a hundred files to be renamed and believe so far no request was denied. Sometimes I also do not request a move as I believe the request (such as spelling mistakes) is not worth another editor needs to turn its attention to it. In both cases I could do it myself, if I have the Filemover right.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 14:23, 30 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
