Issue with a DatBot's reduction
Hi, I'm here to inform you that I reverted an edit from DatBot, specifically on File:Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff (quadtych).jpg. This is a quadtych, not a single image, so we need it to be at least four times the standard reduced size – so if the standard for a single image is 250×400, a quadtych should be at least 1000×1600 – or more, considering the thick line separator. If we reduce it more than that, we won't be able to see anything worth, while we need that for the comparison to the comics counterpart at Wanda Maximoff (Marvel Cinematic Universe).

 * @Est. 2021 I believe this may qualify for Non-free no reduce, but you might want to check on that. DatGuyTalkContribs 09:08, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

Vandalism

Technical news
 * The tag filter on Special:NewPages and revision history pages can now be inverted. This allows hiding edits made by automated tools.
 * Special:BlockedExternalDomains is a new tool that allows easier blocking of plain domains (and their subdomains). This is more easily searchable and is faster for the software to use than the existing MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist. It does not support regex (for complex cases), URL path-matching, or the MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist.

Arbitration
 * The arbitration cases named Scottywong and AlisonW closed 10 July and 16 July respectively.
 * The SmallCat dispute arbitration case is in the workshop phase.

DatBot down?
Hello! DatBot seems to be down as it hasn't uploaded any files since 15 August. Jonteemil (talk) 23:54, 20 August 2023 (UTC)


 * hi, sorry for the late reply. Should be fixed. DatGuyTalkContribs 19:50, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
 * There was another issue which I unfortunately overlooked. I fixed it and drip fed the bot some images which seemed to then work properly, so I'll leave it for the normal run at midnight UTC. DatGuyTalkContribs 13:03, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

Speedy deletion
You notified me on my talk page that File:Fulton County Mugshot of Donald Trump.png "was an unused duplicate or lower-quality copy of another file on Wikipedia having the same file format, and all inward links were updated."

Could you please provide me with the link to the other file? ImYourTurboLover (talk) 01:52, 26 August 2023 (UTC)


 * it is mentioned in the deletion log, File:Donald Trump mug shot.jpg. After looking further into it, I'm unsure if I should have speedy deleted it rather than taken it through FFD due to the original actually being a .png, hence despite being unable to spot any differences it may still fall under WP:NOTCSD#9. Pinging as a random FFD administrator I saw in the archives, could you chime in? DatGuyTalkContribs 02:03, 26 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi, WP:CSD requires the files to share the same format. File:Fulton County Mugshot of Donald Trump.png was not eligible for speedy deletion under this criterion, or any of the others. ✗  plicit  02:16, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
 * my mistake. Would you like me to restore the image? DatGuyTalkContribs 00:26, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, please. ImYourTurboLover (talk) 00:40, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Speedy deletion aside, the NBC source uses a JPG image, so I'm genuinely interested where the PNG came from. The PNG image is also cropped compared to the one we're currently using, and has been published elsewhere. For example at Reuters, you can see all those little dents in the wall for Trump and the other subjects. These are cropped from the uploaded NBC image. -- zzuuzz (talk) 12:52, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
