DatBot Discordianism
I made a much smaller version of a pic to submit to Wikipedia. But DatBot made it even smaller https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Trigods_gypsie_skripto.png&oldid=1217124753

So I can do this right next time, what's the biggest a non-free image should be? Thanks! Vajzë Blu (talk) 17:44, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I saw the 0.1 megapixels cap. So that's the answer thanks! :) Vajzë Blu (talk) 18:16, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

SPI review
It is unfair that Sockpuppet investigations/Rzvas is going to be closed without any action. Even if you let Ratnahastin go, Rzvas vs. Georgethedragonslayer is a clear duck. You could have checked them alone, or at least the latter, who had previously been blocked. Just because they have many edits over the years, it doesn't mean they cannot be socks. It can go unnoticed and check-users know that more than me. There were instances where even an admin was caught for sockpuppetry. Besides, both the SPIs are not equally meritless, that's a false balance. The Doom Patrol (talk) 08:23, 12 April 2024 (UTC)


 * If I find similar common edit summaries between you and Rzvas, does that mean you are a sock too? I am positive if I look through your edits I can find exactly the same generic behaviour you describe in your SPI, from the opposite POV. Also, that's not what false balance means.
