File:Film Poster for Leaving Neverland.jpg

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.

Topic ban and 1RR restriction

As per Special:Diff/886453975 and Special:Diff/886454446, you are now under an indefinite WP:TOPICBAN on subject areas related to Michael Jackson, broadly construed. That includes related articles and talk pages. You are further placed under a WP:1RR restriction which applies to all other articles. This may be appealed no sooner than 6 months from this date. Appeals are more likely to be successful if you demonstrate a pattern of conflict-free editing in unrelated articles. --Yamla (talk) 11:03, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

@Awardmaniac: Be careful. Unless I'm getting the timestamps wrong, I think these two edits violated your topic ban.[1][2] They came shortly after your formal notification on your talk page, so I will assume good faith that you hadn't yet read your talk page.

what does a topic ban mean. What can and cant i do? Awardmaniac (talk) 18:25, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

You're not allowed to edit any article or talk page related to Michael Jackson, broadly construed. You are also not allowed to revert more than once within a 24-hour period. A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 18:28, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

Whats "broadly construed"?. Does it mean I cant edit any Michael related article in any way shape or form? For what? I have not done anything wrong since my block ended. Awardmaniac (talk) 18:32, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

Yes, it means you can't edit any Michael Jackson related article in any shape or form. As for why, I'm not the one who implemented it. I'm just trying to explain what your topic ban means. A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 18:38, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

A Quest For Knowledge is correct. The following three edits unambiguously violated your topic ban: [3] [4] [5]. By all rights, you should have been blocked as soon as you performed the first of these edits, but I'm going to extend good faith to you and assume you didn't realise. Note that you won't get any more warnings. If you have questions about this topic ban and 1RR restriction, please ask before you make any further edits. --Yamla (talk) 19:28, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

I'll also strongly suggest you read what we've linked you to. For example, WP:TOPICBAN explains topic bans. WP:1RR explains your 1RR restriction. --Yamla (talk) 19:31, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

So I cant appeal to get unbanned? Awardmaniac (talk) 21:02, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
