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.

Allow overwriting of File:Keep tidy ask.svg[edit]

Allow overwriting of the file: 1936 Summer Olympics (Berlin) boycotting countries (red).png[edit]

+ Ireland, - Soviet Union: the International Olympic Committee (IOC) recognised the National Olympic Committee of the USSR in IOC's 45th session on May 7, 1951, so of course a country not part of the Olympic movement could not boycott the 1936 Games. --Surely-NFI (talk) 12:13, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would agree with adding Ireland. English Wikipedia also says Ireland. I would keep USSR since English Wikipedia specifically says they boycotted. Abzeronow (talk) 16:44, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There was no way the Soviet Union could boycott the 1936 Olympic Games, because the Soviet Union was accepted into the Olympic movement only in 1951: The Olympic Committee of the USSR was formed on April 21, 1951, and the IOC recognised the new body in its 45th session (May 7, 1951). --Surely-NFI (talk) 18:02, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As mentioned on my talk page, en:List of Olympic Games boycotts specifically says Soviet Union boycotted 1936 as part of the article. @Jmabel: for their thoughts. Abzeronow (talk) 18:42, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Soviet Union at the Olympics confirms what Surely-NFI says. en:1936_Summer_Olympics#Soviet_Union does not say the Soviet Union boycotted. It just explains that their non-participation was of a piece with the attitude they had to the Olympics throughout this era. Am I missing something? - Jmabel ! talk 19:26, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to upload a new version, where BiH and Georgia are added as EU-Candidates. --Stefan040780 (talk) 12:17, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'd probably see a need to change the name of file as it's been updated well past 2011. @GPSLeo: Abzeronow (talk) 18:51, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The file was last changed in early 2023, and before that multiple times by different users. So there is no need for new name now. Otherwise we would also have wrong content in the existing file.--Stefan040780 (talk) 07:33, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I would also say the name is ambiguous and needs to be changed. The the original file can be restored under the current name. GPSLeo (talk) 14:19, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Stefan040780: I'd split the file so the updates past the original file would all exist under a new name that shows this is not limited to 2011 and any usage would follow the new one. The original file would be restored under the name it currently has. @GPSLeo: suggestions for the new name? Abzeronow (talk) 17:19, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As File:EU-Agreements.svg already exists maybe File:EU-Agreements current.svg. GPSLeo (talk) 17:51, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The current version is a COM:OW violation, so I may need to split this file. When was 19 the designated number? Abzeronow (talk) 18:57, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Allow overwriting of File:EU Single Market.svg, File:Europäische Wirtschafts- und Währungsunion.svg, File:European Public Prosecutor member states.svg, File:EU Customs Union.svg, File:Energy Community Map.svg[edit]

Sorry, it's a bit of a list. But after my experience with updating the Schengen map, where I was told to follow MOS:CONTRAST, and therefore WP:ACCESSIBILITY, I've observed many examples of EU-related maps that could profit from better contrast and/or standardization. So that is the idea: standardization of colors and strokes, better contrast. Xolani (talk) 17:50, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

File:European Public Prosecutor member states.svg already has the template. Can you give me a better idea of how you'd update that and say File:EU Single Market.svg? Abzeronow (talk) 18:13, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
For File:European Public Prosecutor member states.svg it would be about standardization only. Using the blue used for most maps (#003399) and the red as defined here (#DA2131). Also would change grey to grey used most of the time (#c0c1c5).
For File:EU Single Market.svg I would replace light blue of non-EU-countries participating with purple used for Schengen (#a050ff).
Would also use EC yellow (#ffd617) as defined on EU colour site, where fitting.
Not sure what you mean by "already has the template" - which template? Xolani (talk) 18:29, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The template that allows overwriting. Abzeronow (talk) 18:32, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oops. Sorry for the oversight with the European public prosecutors map.
As for German language one: again, standardizing colors. Using yellow for EU members who are obliged to join but haven't done so. Standardizing green (BG) to EC Green (#467A39), using purple for opt-out countries (here: Denmark).
Energy community: contrast is relevant here - yellow and orange aren't that distiguishable. So: using yellow for observers, purple for contracting states. Xolani (talk) 18:48, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Allow overwriting of File:Map of the Schengen Area.svg, File:European Union member states and candidates v2.svg, File:Eurozone participation.svg, File:Eurozone map.svg File:European Union Western Balkans.svg[edit]

Continuing the standardization project.

I would once again like to update the Schengen Area map - as I have now a standard set of colors that I would like to apply (replace turquoise with EU green, replace orange with EU yellow). Also @Opihuck has rightly pointed out that Andorra IS indeed a country with no border controls, therefore de-facto participant. Have corrected that and added circle around Malta.

As for enlargement map: just the standard blue (#003399) instead of the one used now. EU red (#da2131) instead of the one used now). The different shades of green (candidates/candidates negotiating) are not perfect, contrast-wise, so the darker green would be even darker (#46a43b) and the light green would remain. Western Balkan: standard blue, no further changes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xolani (talk • contribs) 15:16, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
