Hi there. Just wondering if there's a way mark a file to prevent it from repeatedly tagged with "non-free reduce"? A file you recently tagged for the second time has been rendered so small as to be utterly useless.[1] I greatly reduced the size after you tagged it the first time, providing that it was just large enough to actually figure out what's going on in the drawing, but that did not prevent it from going through the shrink treatment a second time.
[1] This is actually quite ironic. To state a claim for "fair use," an image must contribute to the article in some significant way. After your resizing, the image in question contributes little more than non-free wallpaper, which is not fair use. Thus, in the name of upholding Wikipedia's non-free content policy, you have actually created a clear violation of said policy.
Anyways, if you can let me know how to make the picture useful again, without having to upload a new version every month, that would be much appreciated. Thanks! -- Usernameunique ( talk) 07:10, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
Hello,
This file File:Desktop_and_UWP.png has essentially been reduced to nothing. The original screenshot's file size was already uploaded reduced because it is non-free, the bot did not need to reduce it anymore and make the image unreadable. Now it is just a bunch of blocks of colors. You also deleted the revisions to the file, making it impossible to revert to the usable image. Is it possible for you to fix this? The image is going to be used in the UWP article when it is restored WikIan -( talk) 11:49, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
Thank you for recently advising me on a COI request for /info/en/?search=Duncan_Selbie. You later advised me that the request was correctly in the queue for attention /info/en/?search=Talk:Duncan_Selbie. I have checked the queue every week or so and this hasn't yet reduced in number. I understand that there is probably a very large volume of work for Wiki editors. Is it acceptable for me to manually add the text suggested in my COI request - it is factual and referenced? Or is it necessary to wait for the request to be processed by an editor. Thank you for your advice S&nwaterloo ( talk) 18:22, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

I have reverted the size reduction for this file.
The fair use rationale argues why a larger file makes sense here -- the point is to be able to see the characters, which means being able to clearly see and distinguish the different heads. Jheald ( talk) 22:58, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
I notice that you keep tagging File:Futurama-cast.png with {{ non-free reduce}}. While I am one of the biggest proponents of {{ non-free reduce}}, there is a problem with it for this file. The smaller size that would be uploaded would reduce the details and make characters impossible to see, which is the point of the file. I remember reading somewhere or another on Wikipedia (can't remember where) that there is an exception to the non-free reduce rule, that when the image's purpose (showing all of these characters) would be ruined by reducing the image it is ok to keep the original size. This is why I have been undoing your tag on this image the past two weeks. Thanks, Elisfkc ( talk) 18:43, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for all the work you are doing in connection with RonBot.

I look forward to the completion so I can work on something more useful — thanks again for your work.-- S Philbrick (Talk) 15:19, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
Hi Ronhjones, is there anything that states a file has to be "x by x" or something similar ?, I know Non-free states it should be minimal usage but not having some sort of guide makes it rather hard to know exactly how minimal a file should be ?, Thanks, – Davey2010 Talk 21:48, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
I mentioned to you this about a month ago, and I see @ Jheald: has also pointed this out to you [23], but I must caution you from blindly tagging non-free images with "non-free reduce" just because they fall outside of a set of image size resolutions. There is no fixed requirement in NFC that a certain image size must be met , though we do strive for under 0.1 MP for most standard images like television screenshots or movie posters or album covers. Thing is, I am seeing you tag non-standard images, and while you state that you're doing this with AWP and it doesn't bring up a preview, you're still tagging things that shouldn't be changed, for example File:Grim fandango remastered comparison.png (the larger size needed to see the differences between the original and HD Version without being excessively large). So some of your human decisions I'm not really sure about.
I am sure there are only a few exceptions to what you are doing, as most of your tagging is reasonably appropriate, but you need to make sure if you have touched an image and the non-free tag was removed, that you shouldn't add it again, or if you really think it needs to be added, take the image to WP:FFD. The above example is such a case ( first, second, and third time) where this now appears to be blindly following some logic rather than recognizing editorial discretion, and that's what has happened in the past with people using automated tools to enforce NFC. I don't want to stop the 99% of the work that is correct, but we need a mechanism here to prevent re-tagging when the tag has been reasonably removed. -- MASEM ( t) 21:55, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
I do not understand these edits to descriptions of the images of Hamilton C shell: [24], [25] and [26]. I've uploaded emails to the OTRS system from the author of the product, granting permission to use these images under the Creative Commons Attribution shareAlike 3.0 Unported License. Why would there be any need to replace any of these images with smaller versions? But also, your edits indicate the images have already been replaced with smaller versions, but they haven't. They're still the original 1280x800 versions I uploaded 7 years ago. I'm confused. Can you help me out, please? What was your intent? Msnicki ( talk) 01:10, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi Ronhjones. You previously blocked Dardn2015 for disruptive editing. Although I am not sure of the specifics of that particular block, I noticed that this editor seems to be marking all of their edits as minor, even it when they are clearly not. They were previously advised about this by Qed237, but that does not seem to have any effect? Do you have any suggestions on what to do here? Is there possibly some setting that this editor might have mistakenly checked which is labeling all their edits as minor by default? -- Marchjuly ( talk) 05:55, 20 March 2017 (UTC)

Why did you delete the page on Claire Benedict?

Jim Craigie ( talk) 15:10, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
On March 21 you tagged the non-free file:Big-Boy-Comic-Book-Composition.png (used in Big Boy restaurants) for image reduction; this occurred the next day. I know AWB is a productive tool and perhaps you also visually judge images. I am frustrated because this tagging occurred without reading the rationale or considering the obvious non-standard image.
While the resolution/filesize might seem larger than reasonable, the graphic is a composition of 8 comic book covers, each of which is smaller than covers used elsewhere. I stated this in the rationale and listed/linked four examples of others for comparison. (The filesize of 0.21M is also reasonable given the 8 covers.) That this is a non-standard image is also visually obvious.
On January 26 you similarly tagged file:Progression of Big Boy logos.png. which is a composition of 8 historic logos. Unlike the comic book covers, I considered this tagging not unreasonable (and later manually resized it to 50%). But your tag caused a bot, also not considering that it was a non-standard image, to over-reduce producing an inferior muddy image. These rule based reductions tend to be arbitrary and unsophisticated. The resizing of the comic book covers also caused an artifact in the layout of the Big Boy Restaurants article. As noted, IMO that image resize was unreasonable and it has been reverted.
Thanks for your many efforts but also your consideration to these issues. — βox73 (৳alk) 08:00, 24 March 2017 (UTC) / fix typo — 08:03, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
Hi you reversed the edit i made as you said it was not constructive. But i am confused as i thought all encyclopaedic content should be verifiable and from a neutral point of view; the comments i removed were not verifiable and were personal opinions which goes against the wikipedia guidelines. I was wondering if you would be able to explain your comment that the edit was not constructive? 86.11.60.51 ( talk) 12:12, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
Hello, this is concerning the edit I made to the english Mickey Roker wiki page. Roker's birthday is September 3, 1932. It is correctly listed in his german wiki page:

And also here:
https://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/birthday.php?pg=247
A previous editor had accidentally switched the month and day (03/09 /1932 - 09/03/1932) so I corrected it. Please let me know how to submit the citation. Thanks.

I reopened the discussion, because I found multiple sources where Randall without Randy is his given name.

I'd appreciate it if you'd pitch in as described at Wikipedia_talk:Files_for_discussion#Category:Non-free_files_with_orphaned_versions_more_than_7_days_old, as I believe your AWB tagging runs to reduce the resolutions of non-free images has been partially responsible for the unusually high number of files needing revisions deleted. ~ Rob13 Talk 09:40, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

Gooday Ron. A new article has been pasted-in from previous (deleted article) editing-pane, breaking the chain of editing history but quoting the 'old' dates when references were added. Be Wiser Insurance was deleted when targeted as a business-promotion, I suspect it was nominated by an IP associated with One-Call, from memory. I did some work on the motorcycle sport sponsorship in the old article.
What to do? Way beyond my Ken. There is no talk page notice relating to re-creating a previously deleted old version, as I got with Talk:Steve Henshaw
The same goes for
One Call Insurance also a new article showing no talk page but old-dates on refs - second look, this might be totally new. Insurance-broker wars, eh?--

Ronhjones: I uploaded two images, and I am grateful that that one was reduced to screen resolution and reposted in order to not violate restriction on the quality of free postings. Now a Bot has identified the images as not actually appearing in any article and has indicated they will be deleted. I have not had luck contacting an actual person about this so I am posting here. I uploaded two screen images from Star Trek Fan movies specifically to document the name of the Starship and the NCC number associated with that name, for the two Fan series: Starship Exeter and Starship Farragut. I don't think it is worth including those images directly in the Wiki article, but I don't want to post an assignment of NCC number for a web series without having some documentation for that claim. The article is: " Star Trek fan productions". The two images are: USS-Exeter-NCC-1706.png and USS-Farragut-NCC-1647.png. The article only makes reference to the images and does not display them. Is that a legitimate use, or are the only options to either display the images in the article or delete the images from the Wikipedia Commons? I am not aware of any other images already in the Commons that would serve the purpose, and I'm not really sure how to search for such images either. The original source is a video rather than an image, so unless a person goes to the specific frame in the video, the documentation aspect is lost. Also, it's not enough to find an image that indicates that in the "Star Trek Universe" those ships have those NCC numbers. The images really should be pulled from each series individually, as the ones that I posted do. PoqVaUSA ( talk) 06:15, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

A concise history of Korea, p. 64, p. 64, at Google Books; excerpt, "China found instead that its policy of using trade and cultural exchanges and offering legitimacy and prestige to the Silla monarchy was effective in keeping Silla safely in the tributary system. Indeed, the relationship that was worked out in the late seventh and early eighth centuries can be considered the beginning of the mature tributary relationship that would characterize Sino-Korean interchange most of the time until the late nineteenth century;"

I began an investigation into issue raised in ticket:2017050410011163, but then realized you were actively working on the issues, as a result of a different ticket. I closed the ticket I was handling, and urged the subject to use the ticket number you are handling for any subsequent issues. Good luck, it is complicated.-- S Philbrick (Talk) 13:44, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi there. Just wondering if there's a way mark a file to prevent it from repeatedly tagged with "non-free reduce"? A file you recently tagged for the second time has been rendered so small as to be utterly useless.[1] I greatly reduced the size after you tagged it the first time, providing that it was just large enough to actually figure out what's going on in the drawing, but that did not prevent it from going through the shrink treatment a second time.
[1] This is actually quite ironic. To state a claim for "fair use," an image must contribute to the article in some significant way. After your resizing, the image in question contributes little more than non-free wallpaper, which is not fair use. Thus, in the name of upholding Wikipedia's non-free content policy, you have actually created a clear violation of said policy.
Anyways, if you can let me know how to make the picture useful again, without having to upload a new version every month, that would be much appreciated. Thanks! -- Usernameunique ( talk) 07:10, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
Hello,
This file File:Desktop_and_UWP.png has essentially been reduced to nothing. The original screenshot's file size was already uploaded reduced because it is non-free, the bot did not need to reduce it anymore and make the image unreadable. Now it is just a bunch of blocks of colors. You also deleted the revisions to the file, making it impossible to revert to the usable image. Is it possible for you to fix this? The image is going to be used in the UWP article when it is restored WikIan -( talk) 11:49, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
Thank you for recently advising me on a COI request for /info/en/?search=Duncan_Selbie. You later advised me that the request was correctly in the queue for attention /info/en/?search=Talk:Duncan_Selbie. I have checked the queue every week or so and this hasn't yet reduced in number. I understand that there is probably a very large volume of work for Wiki editors. Is it acceptable for me to manually add the text suggested in my COI request - it is factual and referenced? Or is it necessary to wait for the request to be processed by an editor. Thank you for your advice S&nwaterloo ( talk) 18:22, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

I have reverted the size reduction for this file.
The fair use rationale argues why a larger file makes sense here -- the point is to be able to see the characters, which means being able to clearly see and distinguish the different heads. Jheald ( talk) 22:58, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
I notice that you keep tagging File:Futurama-cast.png with {{ non-free reduce}}. While I am one of the biggest proponents of {{ non-free reduce}}, there is a problem with it for this file. The smaller size that would be uploaded would reduce the details and make characters impossible to see, which is the point of the file. I remember reading somewhere or another on Wikipedia (can't remember where) that there is an exception to the non-free reduce rule, that when the image's purpose (showing all of these characters) would be ruined by reducing the image it is ok to keep the original size. This is why I have been undoing your tag on this image the past two weeks. Thanks, Elisfkc ( talk) 18:43, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi Ronhjones, is there anything that states a file has to be "x by x" or something similar ?, I know Non-free states it should be minimal usage but not having some sort of guide makes it rather hard to know exactly how minimal a file should be ?, Thanks, – Davey2010 Talk 21:48, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
I mentioned to you this about a month ago, and I see @ Jheald: has also pointed this out to you [23], but I must caution you from blindly tagging non-free images with "non-free reduce" just because they fall outside of a set of image size resolutions. There is no fixed requirement in NFC that a certain image size must be met , though we do strive for under 0.1 MP for most standard images like television screenshots or movie posters or album covers. Thing is, I am seeing you tag non-standard images, and while you state that you're doing this with AWP and it doesn't bring up a preview, you're still tagging things that shouldn't be changed, for example File:Grim fandango remastered comparison.png (the larger size needed to see the differences between the original and HD Version without being excessively large). So some of your human decisions I'm not really sure about.
I am sure there are only a few exceptions to what you are doing, as most of your tagging is reasonably appropriate, but you need to make sure if you have touched an image and the non-free tag was removed, that you shouldn't add it again, or if you really think it needs to be added, take the image to WP:FFD. The above example is such a case ( first, second, and third time) where this now appears to be blindly following some logic rather than recognizing editorial discretion, and that's what has happened in the past with people using automated tools to enforce NFC. I don't want to stop the 99% of the work that is correct, but we need a mechanism here to prevent re-tagging when the tag has been reasonably removed. -- MASEM ( t) 21:55, 17 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi Ronhjones. You previously blocked Dardn2015 for disruptive editing. Although I am not sure of the specifics of that particular block, I noticed that this editor seems to be marking all of their edits as minor, even it when they are clearly not. They were previously advised about this by Qed237, but that does not seem to have any effect? Do you have any suggestions on what to do here? Is there possibly some setting that this editor might have mistakenly checked which is labeling all their edits as minor by default? -- Marchjuly ( talk) 05:55, 20 March 2017 (UTC)

Jim Craigie ( talk) 15:10, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
On March 21 you tagged the non-free file:Big-Boy-Comic-Book-Composition.png (used in Big Boy restaurants) for image reduction; this occurred the next day. I know AWB is a productive tool and perhaps you also visually judge images. I am frustrated because this tagging occurred without reading the rationale or considering the obvious non-standard image.
While the resolution/filesize might seem larger than reasonable, the graphic is a composition of 8 comic book covers, each of which is smaller than covers used elsewhere. I stated this in the rationale and listed/linked four examples of others for comparison. (The filesize of 0.21M is also reasonable given the 8 covers.) That this is a non-standard image is also visually obvious.
On January 26 you similarly tagged file:Progression of Big Boy logos.png. which is a composition of 8 historic logos. Unlike the comic book covers, I considered this tagging not unreasonable (and later manually resized it to 50%). But your tag caused a bot, also not considering that it was a non-standard image, to over-reduce producing an inferior muddy image. These rule based reductions tend to be arbitrary and unsophisticated. The resizing of the comic book covers also caused an artifact in the layout of the Big Boy Restaurants article. As noted, IMO that image resize was unreasonable and it has been reverted.
Thanks for your many efforts but also your consideration to these issues. — βox73 (৳alk) 08:00, 24 March 2017 (UTC) / fix typo — 08:03, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
Hi you reversed the edit i made as you said it was not constructive.

I'd appreciate it if you'd pitch in as described at Wikipedia_talk:Files_for_discussion#Category:Non-free_files_with_orphaned_versions_more_than_7_days_old, as I believe your AWB tagging runs to reduce the resolutions of non-free images has been partially responsible for the unusually high number of files needing revisions deleted. ~ Rob13 Talk 09:40, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

Gooday Ron. A new article has been pasted-in from previous (deleted article) editing-pane, breaking the chain of editing history but quoting the 'old' dates when references were added. Be Wiser Insurance was deleted when targeted as a business-promotion, I suspect it was nominated by an IP associated with One-Call, from memory. I did some work on the motorcycle sport sponsorship in the old article.
What to do? Way beyond my Ken. There is no talk page notice relating to re-creating a previously deleted old version, as I got with Talk:Steve Henshaw
The same goes for
One Call Insurance also a new article showing no talk page but old-dates on refs - second look, this might be totally new. Insurance-broker wars, eh?--

Ronhjones: I uploaded two images, and I am grateful that that one was reduced to screen resolution and reposted in order to not violate restriction on the quality of free postings. Now a Bot has identified the images as not actually appearing in any article and has indicated they will be deleted. I have not had luck contacting an actual person about this so I am posting here. I uploaded two screen images from Star Trek Fan movies specifically to document the name of the Starship and the NCC number associated with that name, for the two Fan series: Starship Exeter and Starship Farragut. I don't think it is worth including those images directly in the Wiki article, but I don't want to post an assignment of NCC number for a web series without having some documentation for that claim. The article is: " Star Trek fan productions". The two images are: USS-Exeter-NCC-1706.png and USS-Farragut-NCC-1647.png. The article only makes reference to the images and does not display them. Is that a legitimate use, or are the only options to either display the images in the article or delete the images from the Wikipedia Commons? I am not aware of any other images already in the Commons that would serve the purpose, and I'm not really sure how to search for such images either. The original source is a video rather than an image, so unless a person goes to the specific frame in the video, the documentation aspect is lost. Also, it's not enough to find an image that indicates that in the "Star Trek Universe" those ships have those NCC numbers. The images really should be pulled from each series individually, as the ones that I posted do. PoqVaUSA ( talk) 06:15, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

-{

transclusions or
web addresses it has to be
escaped appropriately. You can use -<nowiki/>{
for transclusions and %2D{
in web addresses. A transclusion could for example be when you use -{
in a template: {{1x| sad :-{ face }}
. This is because of some code fixes to the
preprocessor and affects all wikis.

Hi, I don't understand why you have deleted the article. There was no copyright infringement. The cited page is public domain and the city of Rijeka is the most transparent city in Croatia. It most certainly is not a primary source. So I don't see the problem. Thanks in advance. -- Tuvixer ( talk) 12:45, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
Hi Ron. By any chance, do you know if we have a bot that finds oversized non-free files and tags them with {{
Non-free reduce}}
? If not, is this something that you would find useful? Thanks,

mediawiki.util
library does not load automatically any more. Your
Special:MyPage/common.js may use it. If you have technical problems that started a couple of weeks ago you can try adding mw.loader.using( 'mediawiki.util' ).done(function(){
as the first line in the file and });
as a last one. Tech News wrote about this in the
2017/18 issue.

I began an investigation into issue raised in ticket:2017050410011163, but then realized you were actively working on the issues, as a result of a different ticket. I closed the ticket I was handling, and urged the subject to use the ticket number you are handling for any subsequent issues. Good luck, it is complicated.-- S Philbrick (Talk) 13:44, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

I just advised the user of adding unsourced material. I noticed they were recently blocked for that reason. I looked at other recent contributions. They seem to be right back to be doing the same thing. Reb1981 ( talk) 22:31, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
