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.

Non-free content use
Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. We always appreciate when users upload files. However, it appears that one or more of the files you have uploaded or added to a page, specifically User:J.S. Clingman/Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches, may fail our non-free policy. Most often, this involves editors uploading or using a copyrighted file of a living person. For other possible reasons, please read up on our Non-free criteria. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:31, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi J.S. Clingman. Non-free content such as File:Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches logo.jpg cannot be used in userboxes or on user pages per Wikipedia non-free content use criterion #9 (also see WP:UBX and WP:UP). If you'd like to add an image to the userbox you've created, please use something from Wikimedia Commons instead. I previously removed the CREC logo from your userbox, but you subsequently re-added it. Please don't do so again. -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:35, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Oh! Thanks for the notification! I didn't realize that was the policy here or that you had removed the image purposely. I thought I'd somehow saved an unfinished version of it. It will not happen again! EomereofRohan (talk) 20:12, 20 March 2019 (UTC)

 * I'm afraid I don't understand. Was the problem that Deadline Hollywood and Fox News aren't reliable? As far as I know, each source mentions the subject multiple times (and the subject's name appears in the headline in at least 10 out of the approximately 15 sources). I suppose a few of the sources did only mention the subject, such as the Fox News headline. If I remove those, will the article be ready for resubmission? Or is the problem that the sources that did mention the subject more than once are not considered reputable? Thank you. —J.S. Clingman Fëalórin, A Child of God (talk) 13:35, 25 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Never mind. I'll review my sources before I bring this up again. Thank you for taking the time to review my submission.—J.S. Clingman Fëalórin, A Child of God (talk) 14:20, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

Celebritynetworth.com as a source
Hi J.S. Clingman. I noticed that you recently used Celebritynetworth.com as a source for biographical information in Michael J. Lindell.

If you disagree, let's discuss it. Thanks.--Ronz (talk) 15:36, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:I Still Believe OST.png
Thank you for uploading File:I Still Believe OST.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

American Underdog
Hey! I just wanted to let you know that I reverted your edits to American Underdog: The Kurt Warner Story back to a redirect.

Image removal
Although your removal of the "unnecessary detail" was good in my own opinion, note that removal of images because they are "inappropriate" is generally unwarranted and should not be done: WP:IMGCONTENT, MOS:OMIMG, and perhaps HELP:NOSEE. This is in reference to.
