Allow overwriting of File:Arjun Singh 237.jpg

I request the admin to grant me permission to overwrite this file as it is blurry and old version. This photo relates to event attended by chief minister in Indian government. Kindly allow me to replace it. --Nikrocks12345 (talk) 15:49, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

If you want to replace the photograph with a different one, it has to be done by uploading a new file, and replacing usage on the Wikimedia projects pages themselves. Abzeronow (talk) 16:48, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
i have created a new image and replace usage of the old file on other wikimedia pages by new image . But whenever i search the event, the old image pops up in google search bar. why does it happen?

I'd like to edit this file to mark the DPRK instead of the ROK. The map was generated by a Wikipedia editor from a source that lists Korea, using a script that interpreted "Korea" to mean the ROK. But the source uses it to mean the DPRK. I think this falls under "uncontroversial corrections to diagrams, maps, or charts, if a more accurate version is available".

Allow overwriting of File:1947 Nanhai Zhudao.png

This image is currently encoded in Palette mode. This is unnecessary, because all of the colors specified in the palette are fully-opaque shades of gray. This means that the image can be changed over to Grayscale mode, where each pixel remains only 8 bits (each pixel is now a literal value of gray rather than an index into the palette), and it is no longer necessary to store a palette at the beginning of the file, and the file has shrunk to 3.31 MB in size.

Allow overwriting of File:Add all numbers block.png

Because this image's resolution is small enough that it does not have lower-resolution preview versions, improvements to the size of this file will benefit loading speeds on all pages where this image is used. The pixel format is fine, as RGBA is correct and warranted due to more than 256 different colors in the image and alpha-antialiased edges on the blocks. I ran the file through OxiPNG and ZopfliPNG just to see what would happen, and it shrank to 29 KB. I'd like to replace the image with this new version. Obscure2020 (talk) 22:28, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

You'd have to crop out the frame, the existing file crops out the feet of the rightmost person of the trio on the left, there also appears to be some visual differences between the clouds of the two files so I'd recommend uploading your version as a new file and then just replacing usage on Wikimedia projects with your version as you see fit.

Alternatively I can upload it separately and post it here. As I often translate SVGs I would also like (concise) advise on how to get said permission.

I managed to find a PDF source for the portion of the 1972 catalogue in which this diagram appears. It's on the right side of page 10 of this document. I used pdfimages on the command line to extract the bitmap data from the page, imported it into GIMP, used the measure tool to straighten the angled graphic, and then cropped it. Then I ran it through OxiPNG and ZopfliPNG for good measure. The result is a 1048x739 version of the graphic that actually has a smaller filesize than the current version, at only 51 KB.

Someone has erroneously changed the flag's stripe proportions to match Azerbaijan's and their only explanation was "Nakhchivan is Azerbaijani, not Libyan". This is not a valid reason, nor is it correct for the flag in question (source for different stripe proportions). I would like to upload a new version that changes the stripe proportions back; however, I would not like to fully revert, as the colors in the latest version are better and its code is also more optimized. I have created a version of the file with the correct stripe proportions, yet keeping the latest version's colors and code optimization.

Allow Overwriting of File:Idioma ruso.PNG

Hello, I would like to upload a new version of the above to remove Mongolia. Russian is hardly spoken or used in Mongolia today, and the country recently made English the first foreign language in education. --Chinneeb (talk) 14:28, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

I'm inclined to decline this request since File:Ruština ve světě.svg shows at least 30% of Mongolians speak Russian, and English Wikipedia says Russian was the most widely taught foreign language in 2005, and was compulsory in Year 7 in 2006. So sources seem to point to a significant minority of Russian speakers. Abzeronow (talk) 18:40, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
I'd like to dispute that - if you look at the source for the map you linked (Ethnologue), it doesn't say anything about 30% of Mongolians speaking Russian. Ethnologue's page on Mongolia lists 8 living languages, none of them Russian.
The The Routledge Handbook of Sociolinguistics Around the World (2024) has a section on Mongolia, and states: "In particular, English has become the most popular foreign language in Mongolia" (page 197, DOI: 10.4324/9781003198345-18).
For some stats, while Russian and English are both offered as part of university entrance exams, in 2021, only 866 students took the Russian exam (https://ikon.mn/n/2b27) while 22,376 students took the English exam (https://ikon.mn/n/2b19), a difference in factor of 25.
A Russian study entitled "Russian Language in Everyday Discourse of Mongols (Data from an Expert Survey)", 2022 (https://www.nauka-dialog.ru/jour/article/view/3964?locale=en_US) also confirms the above, with a 2016 statement quoted from Secretary General of the Mongolian Association of Teachers of Russian Language and Literature Sosorbaram Erdenemaa saying: "Сегодня русский язык … уже почти забыли»" (Today the Russian language... has almost been forgotten) Chinneeb (talk) 03:35, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

Also note en:Mongolia#Languages, which I've recently edited. Chinneeb (talk) 10:50, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

@Fobos92: @Iktsokh: @Kwamikagami: for their thoughts on this. Abzeronow (talk) 16:48, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
According to Arefyev 2012, the source used by Ethnologue, 40%+ of the population spoke Russian. (Chinneeb says that Ethn. doesn't mention Russian, but I just checked the latest edition, and it still does.) It may be that the younger generations don't know Russian, but I would think you could still get around Mongolia pretty well with it. There are other countries that we show on the PNG map that have less Russian than Mongolia, so it would be weird to remove Mongolia but not them.
Chinneeb, do you have sources to the contrary?
Specifically, Ethn. cites Arefyev as saying there are 1,196,000 L2 speakers of Russian in Mongolia, and (according to the WP-en article on the demographics of Mongolia), the population in 2012 was 2,867,744, which works out to 42% L2 speakers. But we'd need to check Arefyev (2012) to know how old his data was; it's presumably older than 2012, but we don't know by how much from the mention in Ethn. Older data would mean a higher %age at the time, since the population of Mongolia would've been smaller then, but also more time for the younger, non-Russia-speaking generations to grow in numbers. It would be OR to speculate which of those effects was more important. Kwamikagami (talk) 21:15, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Something weird happened when I downloaded this image. Both Firefox and Chrome seemed to think that it was appropriate to download it as a .jpg file. This confused me for a little bit. I managed to confirm the file did indeed contain PNG data by using ffprobe on the command line.

Input #0, png_pipe, from 'Flowchart_of_Phases_of_Parallel_Randomized_Trial_-_Modified_from_CONSORT_2010.jpg':
  Duration: N/A, bitrate: N/A
  Stream #0:0: Video: png, pal8(pc, gbr/unknown/unknown), 3000x3000, 25 fps, 25 tbr, 25 tbn

Further analysis showed that the image was encoded in the PNG 8-bits-per-pixel palette mode. It turns out that this was actually not as efficient a choice as could have been made. There are actually only 8 distinct colors in the whole image. This means that we can use 4-bits-per-pixel palette mode. I performed the transformation using OxiPNG and ZopfliPNG and produced a result that is visually identical but is only 89 KB. I would like to replace the image with this improved version.

This file is not using the wrong pixel format. It's 24-bits-per-pixel RGB, which is appropriate. The only thing wrong with this file is whatever software was originally used to encode the image did a somewhat shabby job. It was likely either written or configured to prefer speed over compression performance. I let OxiPNG and ZopfliPNG take a crack at it for a few minutes, and it shrank to about 6.7 MB. I would like to replace the image with this better-compressed version. Obscure2020 (talk) 22:56, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

This file is currently stored in 24-bits-per-pixel RGB. Upon closer analysis, I found that this image actually uses only 32 different colors across all the pixels in the image. This means 8-bits-per-pixel Palette mode can be used to encode the image more efficiently.
