Allow overwriting for File:Doppelschicht-Prinzipdarstellung.png

Hi there, the above mentioned fiöe contains a typo which needs to be fixed. Wonder that nobody has done it during 14 years (!) since its upload in 2011. Qniemiec (talk) 22:18, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Allow overwriting of File:Walmart Spark.svg

@ReneeWrites: I would like to crop the Walmart Spark original symbol to remove the white line seen at the image. Yayan550 (talk) 21:47, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Yayan550: What do you mean? I'm not seeing a white line. ReneeWrites (talk) 21:50, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The original image had the file size dimension of 47x50 and still a lot of whitespace. So i want this file to be cropped to more proportional size (38x43). Yayan550 (talk) 00:08, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done You can now overwrite the file. 38x43 might be a bit too tight of a crop though, it's okay if it has a little breathing room at the edges. ReneeWrites (talk) 13:42, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I’d like to make an update to the file due to the US leaving the World Health Organization again Zabezt (talk) 03:27, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It would take a year's notice to withdraw and paying obligations for the current fiscal year. So I think that update should wait until the withdrawal is more formal. Abzeronow (talk) 03:34, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Allow overwriting File:Flag of Franco-Terreneuviens.svg

Allow me to overwrite the French Newfoundland flag. The current version is incorrect. The correct flag has a black outline around the sails, as shown on the official website of the Fédération des francophones de Terre-Neuve et du Labrador: https://www.fftnl.ca/en/francophonie/coat-of-arms-and-flag/ I have the current correct SVG version provided to me by the Fédération des francophones de Terre-Neuve et du Labrador. AxelBelgarde (talk) 12:18, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the more detailed explanation. I'm guessing the more generic flower shape is for copyright reasons. @Julo: @Fry1989: Abzeronow (talk) 19:26, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this was also my guess. The flag is the property of the Fédération des francophones de Terre-Neuve et du Labrador. They are giving the permission to use their flag and they have requested to change the incorrect version on Wikimedia. AxelBelgarde (talk) 19:54, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Can they contact COM:VRT? I could approve the overwrite in the meantime while the permission gets sorted. Abzeronow (talk) 20:03, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The email has been sent to COM:VRT. They have approved the permission with the new SVG file. All I need left is to overwrite the file. AxelBelgarde (talk) 17:35, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
