Thanks

I wasn't really sure what to do about the Copenhagen democracy IP address. I'm INVOLVED as I keep reverting it, but it doesn't feel like a school edit as much as COI. They are ignoring talk page messages and are persistent. Secretlondon (talk) 18:46, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

There's a few exceptions to WP:INVOLVED, and your reversions certainly fall under them. I have a sense the IP may return, as I have been keeping an eye on the page since it came up on RFPP and I first undid their spammy additions a week ago. DatGuy^Talk_Contribs 18:58, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

Looking at WHOIS it's clearly COI and no longer a school. Secretlondon (talk) 07:01, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

ip user 62.209.158.74 is a WP:DUCK sock of Epochalypse 2038

Their only comments relate directly to E2038’s block. If they aren’t a sock they’re definitely a meatpuppet. Dronebogus (talk) 11:39, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

@Dronebogus: the IP is  Stale, there's not much point in blocking them any longer. DatGuy^Talk_Contribs 06:50, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

image reduction task on mrwiki

Hello. I hope you are doing well. I was thinking if your bot could be set-up for mrwiki for the task of reducing size of non-free images. The policy on mrwiki recommends that the bot operator should familiar with at least basic level of Marathi language. I already have an automated bot on mrwiki, and I tried to go through thepolisme's source code, but I was not sure what changes to make. Would you kindly guide me what changes/updates should I make to the script to run it on mrwiki? —usernamekiran (talk) 04:58, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

courtesy ping to MGA73. —usernamekiran (talk) 05:00, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

The code is open-sourced on GitHub. DatGuy^Talk_Contribs 23:50, 24 March 2023 (UTC)

thanks. I've ported almost half of your code to pywikibot, I will work on the remaining code in upcoming 3-4 days. —usernamekiran (talk) 16:25, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
