• Comment No actual reason given, because we need to more specify the reason why you should merge or split the file/category. So this request needs to be declined. --Yayan550 (talk) 05:17, 13 May 2025 (UTC)

  Welp, Why something after The Family Channel to change name? YehudaHubert (talk) 10:01, 20 May 2025 (UTC)

First, this project page is not meant for categories. These can other than a manipulation of image history be edited by everyone.

Second, Category:The Family Channel (American TV network, founded 1990) is a sub category of Category:History of Freeform (TV channel) which is itself a sub category of Category:Freeform. Therefore, there is nothing to do here. — Speravir – 01:25, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

• Request: Merge
• Reason: The both files also actually are duplicate this file (also different users and bytes). So, I suggest both files exciting would be merge as a single file.

Probably a more complex one: Perhaps Split and Merge in two steps

First some background: Subbass1 uploaded the original version of Satzkorn, Dorfkirche (02).jpg and requested about two years ago in dewiki some retouching, see archived thread (in German, of course): de:Wikipedia:Fotowerkstatt/Archiv/2023/Mai#Kanzelrest. There he wrote the image should be overwritten with the new version (in German slang: “bitte drüberladen”). Now for the complex part:
The version where a crop and rotation has been done is now the active version under the original name, but should perhaps better split from it. On the other hand, the version which is in the moment separated could be merged, because the image is visually unchanged outside of the retouching.

Easy approach:

• One action (ok, behind the scenes there are more) following the uploader’s request in dewiki: Merge File:Kanzelrest PSX 20230508 101614.jpg into File:Satzkorn, Dorfkirche (02).jpg, keep the latter (original) name.

Alternative approach:

• Two steps:

1. Split File:Satzkorn, Dorfkirche (02).jpg. The new version could be named File:Satzkorn, Dorfkirche (02) - cropped and rotated.jpg.
2. Like “easy approach”: Merge File:Kanzelrest PSX 20230508 101614.jpg into File:Satzkorn, Dorfkirche (02).jpg (but now without the edited version), keep the latter (original) name.

A third approach would be doing the splitting step only. Then I would rename Kanzelrest PSX 20230508 101614.jpg myself which was my primary intention, but then I noticed what has happened. — Speravir – 23:43, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

 Done Took the easy approach, let me know if you need anything more. --Sreejith K (talk) 13:45, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

File:2025 Republic of Korea Presidential Election, Municipal-level divisions - Results.svg →File:2025 Republic of Korea Presidential Election, Municipal-level divisions.svg

• Request: [Merge]
• Reason: Same image essentially, but the former file uploaded by Erinthecute (File:2025 Republic of Korea Presidential Election, Municipal-level divisions - Results.svg) already filled with color of the candidate signify who is elected in municipal-level divisions according to NEC. So, i suggest both files to be merge as a single file with latter file name to reduce redudancy of the file duplicates. Yayan550 (talk) 23:12, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

Comment Does you have a reason for the file to justify the split? Just saying "please split" isn't really enough to justify the split of the file. Need more than a proof regarding the difference to versions to doing that. Yayan550 (talk) 22:22, 8 June 2025 (UTC)

File:Beetle 2015.jpg → File:Expo autos antiguos.jpg

• Request: Split replacement version
• Reason: The original version (File:Beetle 2015.jpg) contains an actual 2015 Volkswagen "New" Beetle, and thus is more deserving of the name. The replacement (File:Expo autos antiguos.jpg) is of some vague non-descript antique American car show somewhere in Latin America and has no visible Volkswagen Beetles, new or old. The original photographer should know the exact location and give details and categories. I tried to zoom in on the license plates in order to find it myself, but they were too blurry. --DanTD (talk) 14:36, 7 June 2025 (UTC)
