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.

Help with an article edit
Hi, I know you're also trying to deal with that guy who keeps editing the Abolition of monarchy article by breaking the formatting of the images to "make the images easier to see". I don't really know anything about how Wikipedia works, so is there any way we can get the article semi-protected to stop him from doing it? I don't have an account so I don't think there's anything I can do, but I really want something to be done about this idiot. - 92.236.71.38 (talk) 15:30, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
@92.236.71.38: Yes, you can get articles semi-protected via Wikipedia:Requests for page protection. I'm busy with something else right now, but i think you should be able to do it yourself. Koopinator (talk) 15:34, 9 March 2019 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:PTT (Nederland) edit
Hello, Koopinator. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "PTT".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 09:30, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
June 2019 edit
Hello, I'm Pivotman319. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Khost rebellion (1924–1925), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. - pivotman319 (📫) 18:03, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
@Pivotman319: I'm responsible for over 94.8% of the article, everything in it is sourced to the 16-something books you can look at in the "References" section. Koopinator (talk) 18:07, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

Some Malabi for you! |
| I accidentally found you through your youtube channel. I think you might recognize me as you used one of my videos as a source for your recent 1982 Lebanon war video which was excellent! If not, I am Bolter21Mapping. I tried bringing some of my videomapper buddies to edit Wikipedia but it never worked out, so I am happy to find someone who is both a serious Wikipedian and a serious Videomapper. Bolter21 (talk to me) 16:49, 26 July 2019 (UTC) |
@Bolter21: Thank you! Honestly, i had no idea you were doing military service. Koopinator (talk) 16:54, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

Ways to improve Urtatagai conflict (1913) edit

Turkoman Revolt of 1915 moved to draftspace edit
An article you recently created, Turkoman Revolt of 1915, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
