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)

Bridge with blurred copyrighted billboard

Bridge without copyrighted billboards
- Request
- This photo has been nominated for deletion[1] due to the prominent, copyrighted billboard that is visible. We have very few images of this bridge on Commons and they all have billboards in them. Could someone please blur the billboard to save the photo from deletion? Thanks. Nakonana (talk) 22:35, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

- The foreground's features (SZA, the ant prop) are kind of obscured currently; anything to make them stand out more / be more recognizable helps. --PSA (talk) 13:55, 29 December 2024 (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)
