Hi JJMC89. I've got a question about JJMC89 bot and underscores in file names. During it's latest run, the bot found File:Wan Li.jpg being used in List of vice premiers of the People's Republic of China and removed it per NFCC#10c. The same file, however, was also being used in Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress without a rationale, but the bot didn't catch that particular use. I think it had to do with the syntax used in that article: File:Wan_Li.jpg was used instead. There was another non-free as well being used in the article ( File:Qiaoshi in 1994.jpg) that the bot also didn't catch that also had underscores in the file name. Is this just one time thing or does the bot have a hard time with underscores in file names? -- Marchjuly ( talk) 06:54, 3 September 2021 (UTC)

JJMC89 07:31, 9 September 2021 (UTC)Hello, JJMC89,
I don't do much work with files but I've started taking care of rescaling images that appear in Category:Non-free files with orphaned versions more than 7 days old needing human review. I saw you had edited the page and you operate a bot so I'm hoping you can help me with a technical question as Ronhjones is no longer with us. The rescaling tool works fine but doesn't work with ogg files like File:I've Just Seen a Face guitar solo.ogg.
So, what would be preferable to do in these cases, clicking on "Delete" or "Change visibility" for the previous file version or is there another option? Thanks for any advice you can offer. Liz Read! Talk! 19:35, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
Hello. Thank you for helping Wikipedia with your efforts. You protected from creation a page titled Wendo Musaly. I'd like to present a case to you that i worked on after doing my research.
Wendo Musaly is a renowned and talented singer who has garnered attention from audience worldwide. His sensational music has won hearts and is on its way to top the charts. Wendo has collaborated with Mr. Oli. and Q-Bo, two established musicians in the DRC. Belonging from South Kivu, DRC, he comes from a culturally rich background, which has influenced his taste in music. Musaly debuted with Pourquoi?!, which became a huge hit worldwide. After receiving positive response over his album, he released his debut single, “Give Me That Eh” and “Tú’úndané” collaborating with Mr. Oli & Q-Bo and Lumière, respectively. His two singles, Kiboko WE and Je T'Aime, as they have an interesting beat to them and reflects his passion for music. He then went on and released two albums, GooDLucK and Kiboko WE, and he released his third EP, Tranquility I, which comprises five tracks. Musaly also owns a record label WWM Records Being an audience favorite, Wendo went ahead and released The Best of Wendo Musaly, a compilation of all his tracks in a single album. This was a much-anticipated album that lived up to the hype it had created. Musaly’s passion for music has been covered by credible platforms like Reader’s Digest, the Hype Magazine, InstaBulletin, TheSource, BaltimorePostExaminer, and This is 50. This personality is worth being on Wikipedia, and I think his case should be considered.

@ JJMC89: You recently deleted the image I uploaded which is the logo of the public institution for social security, the logo is owned by the Public institution for social security of Kuwait but I am unsure of which specific graphic artist made it, I have specified the Linkedin of the organization as source.

Hiya,
Your bot has deleted the infobox picture on File:Under the Radar Volume 2 album cover.jpg twice now, giving the rationale "Removed WP:NFCC violation(s). No valid non-free use rationale for this page." Could you please explain why this image is seemingly being singled out, or what I need to do to avoid the situation repeating? As far as I'm concerned, the image has a perfectly decent non-free usage rationale, which I've used on many album cover uploads. Many thanks -- Jonie148 ( talk) 07:39, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
@ JJMC89:On 9/10/2021 without giving any reason you deleted "rationale=yes|auto=yes" from File:Golden Ticket Awards.jpg and now your bot keeps deleting the image from Amusement Today. The file has rationale, why did you delete it, and why does your bot insist on deleting the image from the page? It has been there for more than a year. Why, all of sudden is the rationale no good? What is wrong with it? —JlACEer 02:46, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
|Image rationale=yes
was removed because the rationale on the file’s page was for
Golden Ticket Award for Best New Ride. You have subsequently tried to change the rationale so that’s for “Amusement Today”, but you’re actually not doing so correctly and you’ve just created new problems. The rationale now is no longer applicable to the Golden Ticket article which means that the bot will start removing the file from that article. My suggestion to you is to revert the change you made to the file’s rationale and then a completely new rationale for the file’s use in Amusement Today. The justification for the two non-free uses isn’t really the same; so, make sure the new rationale you add is specific to the way the file is being used in Amusement Today. When you’re done there should be a separate specific rationale provided for each of the file’s uses on its page. If you’re not sure how to write a rationale, please look
here. Finally, please take a look at
WP:NOBODYCOMPLAINED for a possible explanation why the file was flagged for review after a year. The fact that something has been in an article for a
long time could be that nobody noticed it might be an issue until recently. —

This bot has been making hundreds, thousands or maybe more edits like this one, changing categories with "female" in their name to have "women" in their name instead.

Hi! I noticed that you delted the infobox pcture on File:Ph seal Baguio.png insignia I placed for the Mayor of Baguio page. This is the page for the mayor of the city, not a specific politician, which will be a WP:NFCC violation(s). All pages of mayors here have the city or municipal logo or their own (some do) placed in their respective wiki pages, such as Mayor of Manila, Mayor of Cebu City, Mayor of Quezon City and Mayor of Davao City, to name a few. Please explain to me further what rules I violated. Would appreciate it a lot. Thanks! Ejeigh123 -- Ejeigh123 ( talk) 06:56, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
In my opinion your bot if behaving in a high-handed way. It could be giving advice but it is just appears to be creating attention for itself and work. The bot is surely your responsibility and it should be referring those who are puzzled by its arbitrariness to talk to you. It seems much better to have a discussion. I do not understand what it is doing and in what way it is improving the encyclopedia and its method of creation. Victuallers ( talk) 22:57, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
The detailed rationale given for the use of the image at Elizabeth Bugie Gregory specifies precisely that the image is intended to be used at Elizabeth Bugie Gregory and who she is.No, it didn't. The rationale specified that was intended to be used in Elizabeth Gregory. Even if it did specify Elizabeth Bugie Gregory, that doesn't exist, so it would be invalid. What you call an obvious error to a bot, is not obvious to a bot, only a human. You explicitly specified use in one article, but used it in a different one. The bot does catch and fix certain errors: page moves from the specified article to the article title it is currently used in and some incorrect/missing disambiguation.
[It] is your bots error to remove the image when there is no real problem. No, it isn't an error for my bot to remove policy violations – it is approved (and has been for years) to do just that, and policy violations, particularly those with legal considerations, are a problem. The errors here are yours.
based on finding a typoNeither of your examples are typos. Even if they were, the bot cannot tell if something is a typo. It does recognize redirects as those are acceptable per policy.
In my opinion the bot needs to be stopped until it can show that it is only removing images that are being used in the wrong place.It will not be stopped. As has already been explained, they were being used in the incorrect place – different articles than specified in the rationales. — JJMC89 05:57, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
In poking around {{
Infobox settlement}} errors, I have found that somewhere around
300 articles are using some form of |latitude=
and related parameters, which your bot helped to eradicate in 2017. It looks like some of them are manual additions and some are reverts of the articles to the pre-bot-run state. Do you still have that bot code available to run through a subset of articles? I'll be happy to make a list for you if that helps. –
