Volkov: recovering an image's overwrited version
[edit]Article(s): Category:Andrey Volkov (alpinist)
- Request
- the file has an old, overwrited versione Yevgenyevich Volkov.jpg&action=history but it's another person Category:Vladislav Volkov. Is it possible to recover it? Thank you in advance MrKeefeJohn (talk) 13:10, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
- Graphist opinion(s)
- @MrKeefeJohn: Recovering the file is easy enough (it was never technically gone), but do you know what the source of the original photograph is? The earliest file versions don't have this info and the info that was added was from the overwritten, current version. ReneeWrites (talk) 14:20, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
- @ReneeWrites: no, I dont' have sources. I didn't upload it. MrKeefeJohn (talk) 15:15, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
- @MrKeefeJohn and ReneeWrites: Here's the source of the cosmonaut photo/ PawełMM (talk) 06:16, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
- @MrKeefeJohn and ReneeWrites: However it looks like the VRT permission ticket only verifies the image uploaded in 2008 and not the original 2005c image. For that you will have to get permission from the author unless it is clearly in the public domain or freely licenced. Ww2censor (talk) 22:06, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
- @PawełMM and ReneeWrites: I do understand. Thank you for your answers. MrKeefeJohn (talk) 20:08, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Create PDF file combining several photos/files
[edit]

Article(s): Commons Category:"Le Portugal, Pays de Rêve e de Poésie" by Aristides de Sousa Mendes
- Request
- The author of this conference, Mr Aristides de Sousa Mendes, died in 1954, and by the Portuguese law, after 70 years of his dead, his written works enter in public domain. I intend create a Wikisource entry of this conference and think that should be convenient have a PDF of the all 21 files that are at that category. Is it possible for you create one PDF file with these 21 jpg files and add that PDF file to the refered category? Thank you, GualdimG (talk) 21:00, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
- Graphist opinion(s)
- Here you find the pdf, hope it works for you--Bodow 14:37, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Bodow: Looks like did this request at the same time. Your version only has 21 pages, however. Here is my version as well File:Le Portugal, Pays de Rêve e de Poésie by Aristides de Sousa Mendes, 1932, Anvers.pdf. – Pbrks (t • c) 14:51, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- @GualdimG:
Done – Pbrks (t • c) 14:51, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- A coincidence of parallel work. Then @GualdimG can choose which file he needs better, he talked about 21 pages, but might be happy to get more. In any case, he has something now. Greetings Bodow 15:25, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you both Bodow and Pbrks for your help.GualdimG (talk) 18:03, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
Old photos from Malaysia with a watermark
[edit]
Article(s): tbd
- Request
- Hello, I came across these photos published in 1921 on this blog, despite being unable to find the original publications. The blog has added a watermark, and I was wondering if that could be removed, as we have the attribution in the file description. Best, CMD (talk) 12:22, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

Pakistan election maps
[edit]-
1977 Pakistan general election map
-
1985 Pakistan general election map
-
1990 Pakistan general election map
-
1993 Pakistan general election map
-
1997 Pakistan general election map
-
2002 Pakistan general election map
Article(s): These maps are all in the infoboxes of the elections in question on en.wiki and some other language versions.
- Request
- These maps need two improvements; the background needs making transparent, and they need cropping tightly around the outside of the map/inserts. The insert showing Karachi could also be moved in order to allow even closer cropping (which would mean the map displays at a larger size) as was done in this one.
