T3ru[edit]

Hello. Due to the restrictions imposed on updating image files in Commons (and I have been updating quite often to improve the quality of images in Wikipedia), please give me the AutoPatrol status for Commons to continue improving. (I have this status in the local Wiki since 2020. Over the past 10 years, I have uploaded/updated about 1000 images, most of them are used in articles.) Thank you.

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.

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]

Does that apply even when correcting a wrong map? @GPSLeo Vyvagaba (talk) 18:59, 11 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
In such a case it is nearly impossible to know if the original uploader had a good reason for the version or not. Therefore if the original author does not agree that there is something wrong the file should not be overwritten. GPSLeo (talk) 19:12, 11 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Kittycataclysm[edit]

I would like the autopatrol right primarily so that I can perform minor color/exposure adjustments on images. This happens mostly in the context of pictures I use in the Wikibooks Cookbook. You can see File:Sodium bicarbonate CN brightened.png and File:Ground Cinnamon Powder and a Cinnamon Stick adjusted.png for examples of adjustments that I've had to upload as new files. In the past, I have inappropriately overwritten files (for example: major cropping) because I was unaware of the Commons:Overwriting existing files guidelines; however, I have now fully reviewed them.

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]

Ich[edit]

I overwrite public domain pictures when the current image is small and I find higher-res versions online, such as here, here, or here. Every now and then I will adjust levels or white balance when I find an image that needs it (e.g. here or here), or minor photoshops like blurring a background (e.g. here) and cropping out all-white borders around historical photographs (e.g. here). I sometimes do color changes for SVG maps to make them colorblind-friendly (e.g. here and here). Thank you. Ich (talk) 17:59, 13 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
An overwrite like you did on File:Zunft-Kölsch Glas.JPG is totally unacceptable. And a major change of the color scheme like you did on File:Map of European countries by maximum blood alcohol level.svg also always needs to be uploaded as a new file. GPSLeo (talk) 09:39, 14 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I reviewed COM:CROP and understand the objections on the Zunft glass; I've reverted it and re-uploaded as a separate file. For the Blood Alcohol graph, I am colorblind and I think such a change could qualify as minor; I checked all uses on Wikipedia and confirmed none had a separate color key embedded in the text. I will err on the side of caution going forward.
I'm happy to limit any future overwrites on Commons to uploading higher-res versions and removing borders that are not part of the actual image; that's probably 90% of my overwrites anyway.-Ich (talk) 15:38, 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.

I can give you a trivial example of something that needs to be done for my own images: somebody erroneously added File:Tumbleweed Fire, Los Angeles County 2021, Part 10.jpg, File:Tumbleweed Fire, Los Angeles County 2021, Part 9.JPG, File:Tumbleweed Fire, Los Angeles County 2021, Part 8.JPG, File:Tumbleweed Fire, Los Angeles County 2021, Part 7.JPG, File:Tumbleweed Fire, Los Angeles County 2021, Part 6.JPG, File:Tumbleweed Fire, Los Angeles County 2021, Part 5.JPG, File:Tumbleweed Fire, Los Angeles County 2021, Part 4.JPG, File:Tumbleweed Fire, Los Angeles County 2021, Part 3.JPG, and File:Tumbleweed Fire, Los Angeles County 2021, Part 2.JPG to Category:Tumbleweeds. It would also be nice to update the information template with something more informative than "A camera" which is what I had originally typed when I uploaded them.

I really need to move some files of flags to the correct title as some of them are locked. Thank you. SpinnerLaserzthe2nd (talk) 21:05, 16 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
