recent block[edit]

I noticed you blocked 2605:A000:8040:CC00:0:0:0:0 instead of 2605:A000:8040:CC00:0:0:0:0/64 - I assume you were going for a range block, not just for the one IP. Geraldo Perez (talk) 00:11, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

@Geraldo Perez: Doh! Me being lazy and using Twinkle. It don't work for range blocks...! Well Spotted. Ronhjones  (Talk) 00:29, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi Ronhjones. Perhaps you can help out with this question? -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:42, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

RonBot idea: SVG increase[edit]

Hi Ron, I had an idea for new functionality in RonBot. Your bot already fixes images that are too large to meet the NFC guidelines, but another frequent problem with SVG files is that they'll be too small. What often happens is, someone will extract a logo from a PDF where it appeared very small, and as a result, their SVG will have a tiny nominal size. Someone reading an article will click on the logo, expecting to see it bigger, and instead they'll see a much smaller version of it. An example of this right now is the logo on Charlotte Independence (used to affect maybe half of the teams in that league, but I've manually fixed most of them).

Would you consider developing new functionality for RonBot to raise SVGs to the maximum allowed resolution for NFC? Obviously, you wouldn't want to automatically scale up every SVG, since some are presumably intended to be so small. Instead, an editor would have to manually tag the image to be upsized. The current process of manually fixing this is quite tedious, so being able to simply click a button in Twinkle and add a template would make it much easier to eradicate these unnecessarily-tiny logos. Let me know what you think of my idea. Thanks, IagoQnsi (talk) 19:13, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

@IagoQnsi: The maths works in either direction - I have seen such items - I seen square logos at 20x20 - It will have to go through a bot request. I cannot say what they will say about such an idea. My view is that we have the guideline of 100,000 pixels, so long as the images stay within the guideline, then why not. I'll start a BRFA, and see what transpires. Ronhjones  (Talk) 19:34, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
Awesome, thanks! I had a feeling it would be a fairly easy change. I'll keep an eye out for your BRFA. Cheers, IagoQnsi (talk) 19:44, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
@IagoQnsi: Probably nothing to remove. Looking at wrong bot code! RonBot3 tags the images and checks >105000 pixels. RonBot4 just runs the maths. Ronhjones  (Talk) 20:03, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

Improper resize[edit]

Please fix your image resize at File:Filemanager31.gif – the text looks horribly broken. It can be resized to the same lower resolution without that effect (though if the text is still unreadable the image should be left at a higher resolution per the usual practice).

History of image[edit]

bsd. Hi, Ron! I am trying to figure out how to create a "File history", like this one. Is there a script that generates the list, or is it done manually? Is this at all still relevant, or is the "file history" section obsolete? Thank you! --Ben Stone 18:27, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

@Benstown:It appears there was a GIF version of the file. Then someone made a PNG version from it, and thus copied the history from the GIF history page (before deletion). I think there was a drive to change gif to png many years ago. There is not much point now (besides most free images now get moved to commons). Ronhjones  (Talk) 18:35, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
This is precisely what i was wondering, was there any greater purpose in keeping the history of a file. If I understand correctly, there isn't. Thank you. --Ben Stone 18:53, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

File:Cristhian Rivera.jpg[edit]

Looks like you reviewed this image. Am I missing something here? The source credits the photo to the Des Moines Register, and apparently he was arrested by the Poweshiek County sheriff. So it's not clear why the federal government should have taken the mug shot. GMGtalk 20:06, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

@GreenMeansGo: I think you are correct. https://people.com/crime/mollie-tibbetts-accused-killer-wasnt-acting-any-differently-at-work/ says "Poweshiek County". So not Federal Gov. I've undone my edit Ronhjones  (Talk) 20:29, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
Roger that. Just wasn't sure. Taken care of the particulars. GMGtalk 20:34, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

Images loaded on wikipedia[edit]

The images I uploaded on Wikipedia are my photos. They belong to me. I took them. They were never anyone else's. Kathleenreandeau (talk) 04:05, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

@Kathleenreandeau: They were found elsewhere on the internet. If you want to upload here, make sure you upload here first. Otherwise you have to use the slow process at WP:CONSENT Ronhjones  (Talk) 16:56, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

Another Favor[edit]

Can I ask if you could hide this edit? It's a copy and paste copyright violation from a website (the website that the IP linked, in fact).--Mr Fink (talk) 15:34, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
