On 26 February 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Hamilton Brown, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Hamilton Brown), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

The article Raymond Butt has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
I don't believe that he is notable enough to be on Wikipedia. He's a school teacher and part of the Royal Astronomical Society. There are many people out there that do the same. Doesn't mean that he released one book that he's become famous.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Thanks for your work on this (also Whispyhistory and Redrose64). I've just highlighted a few issues at Template:Did you know nominations/Raymond Butt. Raymond was one of the longest serving members of the Transport Ticket Society, joining soon after the society in its present guise was formed, and we corresponded fairly regularly on ticket-related news. Although not directly ticket-related, his 1995 directory is one of the most important publications ever written by a society member, in my view (and there have been many!).

I have deleted Priyanka Fernando under the G10 speedy criterion. You claimed that he had commanded a division which had been accused by the UNHCR of "human rights violations", but as far as I can tell none of your 5 sources make that claim. If the claim is indeed in one of these five sourecs and I missed it, then of course I or any other admin may restore the page as is. Otherwise, please take care not to post such serious negative claims without very good sources to support it. Fram ( talk) 10:41, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:John Palmer 1950-2015.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 18:40, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing.

The article Raymond Butt has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
I don't believe that he is notable enough to be on Wikipedia. He's a school teacher and part of the Royal Astronomical Society. There are many people out there that do the same. Doesn't mean that he released one book that he's become famous.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

Thanks for your work on this (also Whispyhistory and Redrose64). I've just highlighted a few issues at Template:Did you know nominations/Raymond Butt. Raymond was one of the longest serving members of the Transport Ticket Society, joining soon after the society in its present guise was formed, and we corresponded fairly regularly on ticket-related news. Although not directly ticket-related, his 1995 directory is one of the most important publications ever written by a society member, in my view (and there have been many!).

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

On 21 March 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article William Thorne (philatelist), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that American philatelist William Thorne owned a unique block of four United States 1869 24-cent stamps with an inverted center (pictured) showing the signing of the U.S. Declaration of Independence? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/William Thorne (philatelist). You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, William Thorne (philatelist)), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
