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.

Were you not asked by your mentor to not revert when "you are reverted or challenged in any way"? Were you not asked to stay away from material in the Arab-Israeli conflict topic area? nableezy - 20:56, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
Yeah, it is kinda silly. Anyway, I've already written everything I want to on the talk page, and if someone makes an interesting counter-point, I'll probably just leave the issue for a while. M . M 22:16, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor. Bishonen | talk 15:29, 4 April 2019 (UTC).
Stay clear of Lauren Southern, please - this is close enough American politics (yes - she's Canadian - but there's a bit of an overlap over here) - and a highly controversial article. Icewhiz ( talk) 15:35, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
The reason I alerted you above to the discretionary sanctions for biographies is that your editing of Lauren Southern has been problematic. This edit is very strange, and your defense of it on the talkpage talk is even stranger. Wikipedia articles are based on reliable sources, not on your own interpretation of primary sources (i.e. in this case, your interpretation of Lauren's comment, or my interpretation of it). All three sources say Lauren has "defended" or "come to the defence of" Richard Spencer. Your edit, and especially your edit summary "Depends on your perception of "defended"", both suggest that you're not aware of our sourcing policy. Please follow the link and read it. You're a fairly new user, and I suggest you need to be more prepared to listen to experienced users. If you continue to edit against policy, you may be topic banned from Lauren Southern. Bishonen | talk 15:38, 4 April 2019 (UTC).
@ Icewhiz, Bishonen, and Nableezy: I am now confident I have identified the root of the problem here - many sources are arbitrarily and/or inaccurately accepted as "reliable". Actually, I have suspected this for quite a while. I will now focus my attention on WP:RSN. I also wish to thank Newimpartial for informing me of the above page's existence. M .

Thanks for uploading File:SpaceIL logo.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) 17:48, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
