Replace File:Example.ogg with File:ExampleImproved.ogg

Requesting replacement, as the original is extremely quiet and the uploader originally invited replacement with a higher quality version. Unfortunately the current File:Example.ogg also has a lot of noise that becomes audible when normalized. The new recording File:ExampleImproved.ogg has the exact same length and timing so all closed captions fit identically. CC0 means it can also be used under the license of the old file if necessary.

@Qubodup: Was AI used or some other text-to-speech program? Also are you seeking an overwrite or for me to universal replace? Abzeronow (talk) 22:53, 24 July 2025 (UTC)
No AI/TTS/any kind of generation. This is my voice recorded via Shure SM7B → Triton FetHead → UR22C → Audacity. I updated the info. I'd suggest an overwrite based on "Feel free to replace with an improved one... :-)", see Original upload log, and to avoid having placeholder audio used that is hard to impossible to hear in loud environments/with limited ability to change the volume. Qubodup (talk) 08:27, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

@Jmabel: Should I allow this overwrite or should I keep these versions as separate? Abzeronow (talk) 02:54, 30 July 2025 (UTC)
It's a lot cleaner recording, so might be a better choice, but could someone clarify what that accent is? (It should probably say; to my ear it sound non-native, though fluent, though I suppose it could be a native speaker from Namibia or possibly some parts of South Africa.) - Jmabel ! talk 06:08, 30 July 2025 (UTC)

Allow overwriting of File:Wappen_von_Markt_Berolzheim.svg

The administration of the town of Markt Berolzheim informed me that the coat of arms currently in use contains some inaccuracies and provided me with an SVG of the official version. I would therefore like to kindly request permission to replace the graphic with the corrected version. Mathiashertlein (talk) 08:30, 28 July 2025 (UTC)

@Mathiasshertlein: Inaccuracies due to changes or inaccuracies due to how the CoA is depicted? Abzeronow (talk) 21:05, 28 July 2025 (UTC)
The animal (a bear) on the official CoA looks entirely different from the version currently uploaded. The official version can be found here: https://www.bheim-wiki.de/w/images/5/5f/Wappen_von_Markt_Berolzheim.svg
While the uploaded version may appear similar at first glance, it is not the official design. Mathiashertlein (talk) 07:54, 29 July 2025 (UTC)

@Abzeronow Yes. In this video of the Municipal Government of Urubichá (municipality of the Guarayos Province) it shows the celebrations of the Guarayos Flag Day. In it, the Guarayos Province Flag can be seen held and flown in the correct order. Ingaviano (talk) 13:59, 29 July 2025 (UTC)

What changes would be made to projection? Abzeronow (talk) 01:15, 31 July 2025 (UTC)
Based on the file File:NATO vs. Warsaw Pact (1949-1990).svg, this map has been modified to reflect the broader extent of the "Soviet empire" during 1959–1960, including not only Warsaw Pact members but also closely aligned states such as Cuba, Mongolia, China, North Vietnam, and Albania.
(Projection and general layout retained from the original, with territorial highlights updated for historical context.) HistoricusNoctis (talk) 04:15, 31 July 2025 (UTC)
