Allow overwriting of File:Wahlkreise zur Vidhan Sabha von Madhya Pradesh.svg[edit]
I have an improved version of this map with more accurate constituency boundaries using 2008 Delimitation Comission maps. There are mistakes with placement of certain constituencies in current map. C1MM (talk) 03:33, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
- The description states that this is a map for 2008. If there are changes after 2008 they need to be uploaded as a new file. GPSLeo (talk) 09:17, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
- These are not changes dating from after 2008, these are fixing errors in the map itself. The datasource I am using is the original 2008 delimitation commission maps which fixes several major errors this map makes, for instance the constituencies in Indore and Jabalpur cities.

Allow overwriting of File:Mesoamérica y Centroamerica prehispanica siglo XVI.svg[edit]
This map as it exists right now is inaccessibly large and leads to a broken link when trying to view its maximum rasterized resolution. When viewed as an .svg, it is still barely readable even when fully zoomed out. Even on Inkscape, it starts out unbearably large and must be zoomed out to about 0.1% to be convenient.
On Inkscape, I've reduced the image size considerably so that the map is clearly and comfortably visible at 100% zoom but is also big enough for browser users to zoom in and identify its smallest features at maximum zoom. I've also modified and scaled up many of the labels which were unnecessarily small and updated a few point positions, as well as added three important lakes in West Mexico.

Allow overwriting File:Santiago Metro logo.svg[edit]
Years ago this logo was updated to the flat version the company currently uses, but was reversed due to legibility issues on black backgrounds. I have produced a version with a white background on the oval that should fix this issue, and should also look better on small formats (such as lists and infoboxes) than the older gradient version. I may also make a version with no margins, if that looks better on most pages using it. Thanks. Mick11492 (talk) 09:02, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
- Not done new versions of logos have to be uploaded as new files. GPSLeo (talk) 15:20, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
Allow Overwriting of File:Flag of Trujillo State.svg[edit]
I've found some pictures of the flag and the dove, apart from looking somewhat different, must face the hoist. The current version whith the dove looking at the red stripe is supposed to be a flag meant for vertical display sometimes used improperly by authorities. I want to make the edit on the original file in order to upload the vertical display as a separate one. Piexter (talk) 21:12, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

Allow overwriting of File:F-16 Operators.svg[edit]
I want to change the colour of the "future operators" in the image to dark grey to improve contrast (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines). This seems like a "minor improvement" as listed in the guidelines for overwriting files, and previous editors have changed and added colours in this file before. The file also seems to have a {{Current}} template. TROPtastic (talk) 23:13, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

- There is also a TIF version of the same image here:
