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.

Orphaned non-free image File:PM Justin Trudeau colour.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:PM Justin Trudeau colour.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, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:PM Justin Trudeau colour.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:PM Justin Trudeau colour.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:22, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

March 2019

Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but your recent edits, such as those to Wikipedia:Requests for page protection, appear to be intentional disruptions designed to illustrate a point. Edits designed for the deliberate purpose of drawing opposition, including making edits you do not agree with or enforcing a rule in a generally unpopular way, are highly disruptive and can lead to a block or ban. If you feel that a policy is problematic, the policy's talk page is the proper place to raise your concerns. If you simply disagree with someone's actions in an article, discuss it on the article talk page or, if direct discussion fails, through dispute resolution. If consensus strongly disagrees with you even after you have made proper efforts, then respect the consensus, rather than trying to sway it with disruptive tactics. Thank you. Bringing an item to WP:RFP solely to protect your uploaded image is a completely inappropriate use of the RFP process where there has been no vandalism to speak of. On top of that, I've reverted the addition of the image, as outside some kerning, it's completely duplicative of the current logo. Nate • (chatter) 10:00, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits

Hi. I've noticed that a lot of the content you've been adding has used English which is poor, and difficult to understand. In fact, at New York Fashion Week the edits you made were utterly incomprehensible in English. I assume that English is not your first language but it can be problematical when editors introduce so many errors that it takes others a long time to clean up after them. I wonder if it might be a good idea for you to slow down a bit and make some smaller, careful edits for a while until you become more accustomed to the formatting and style, and observing how others use English. If you are having difficulty editing in English to the high standards desired here then perhaps you should consider going to the the list of Wikipedias, looking in the list for a Wikipedia that is in your language, and editing there instead, because you might find that easier. -- Begoon 23:53, 16 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I'm curious, because there seem to be certain similarities. Did you previously edit as Banana19208? -- Begoon 04:00, 18 March 2019 (UTC) [reply]

Request reason:

I will apologize. You see, my username Banana19208 last February, I am not sure about this, but my entire life would not change our subject. By 2020, I would appeal this May and I can assure you what I have done. So skip to our plans together and make sure if easilly just fine, but if would take years to come. As I would advice to that old user Banana19208 and revoked as extended-confirmed protection, but how do you know? You would find out. Macropedia (talk) 03:01, 27 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
