Update to png
If you are going to update images with this bot, please change it to File:clipboard.svg instead of using a png file, thanks. -  ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ  τ ¢  23:11, 13 June 2010 (UTC)


 * It changed the image to that because that was what was marked as the new image on commons. If you want me to do a run to replace all PNGs make a request on bot requests and I'll replace them all. FinalRapture - † ☪ 10:07, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

ERROR
I had to revert the bot on David_Lloyd_George as it ended up with no picture -- Snowded TALK  05:56, 14 June 2010 (UTC)


 * That's a really odd case, I haven't had that problem in any other so I assume it's a one off thing. FinalRapture - <b style="color:#222222;">†</b> <b style="color:#222222;">☪</b> 10:09, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Not attributed at Commons
I am coming across repeated examples of images replaced at Commons without attribution to the source named on the Wikipedia original. I have reverted these as they pop up in my watchlist, but the bot should be checking for this before replacing.  Sp in ni ng  Spark  06:22, 14 June 2010 (UTC)


 * That's something an admin would do before deleting the local copy. If it's not properly attributed then the admin can change the uses back. <b style="color:#222222">FinalRapture</b> - <b style="color:#222222;">†</b> <b style="color:#222222;">☪</b> 10:12, 14 June 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't think that's good enough. The Commons file can be deleted for being improperly attributed leaving the Wikipedia articles with redlinks which a bot will then remove altogether.  Non-admin editors will have no idea what has happened, or even that it happened at all.  Where is the procedure that says the deleting admin is going to check attribution?  The bot should check attribution before tagging the local copy for deletion.  Sp in ni  ng  Spark  21:46, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Changed Atari ST picture for MSX2 picture
Hello, I reverted this edit because your bot changed a screenshot of an atari ST that was meant as an example of the screen possibilities of an Atari ST for a (very similar, if not identical) picture that claims its made on an MSX2 system. That makes no logical sense, so I reverted it. Mahjongg (talk) 11:50, 14 June 2010 (UTC)


 * The photo are completely identical, the only difference being the name. This really shouldn't be that much of an issue. <b style="color:#222222">FinalRapture</b> - <b style="color:#222222;">†</b> <b style="color:#222222;">☪</b> 13:34, 14 June 2010 (UTC)


 * If the description on Commons is different that is going to cause confusion to any reader who clicks through the image on Wikipedia. So yes, it is an issue, the description needs to agree with the article caption.  Sp in ni  ng  Spark  21:50, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Hydro-Québec logo
Hi. I have reverted your bot edit on Hydro-Québec, since the version your bot linked to shouldn't be on Commons in the first place and is a candidate for deletion. Bouchecl (talk) 19:38, 14 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Along the same lines, it would be useful if the bot would check if the Commons image has been put into a deletion process before replacing, especially when the local image is fair use, and is subject to speedy deletion once it is removed from the article. See here. Thanks, BanyanTree 07:26, 16 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Before the bot is run again I'll try to incorporate something along those lines. <b style="color:#222222">FinalRapture</b> - <b style="color:#222222;">†</b> <b style="color:#222222;">☪</b> 21:33, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Odd edit
What was the rationale for this action: ? Now the local file has been deleted, and the commons file with a bogus license and a misleading name is up for deletion too? NVO (talk) 05:27, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
 * It is an extremely late question, but I would like to ask the same about this edit to Rheingau (wine region) on 14 June 2010. It changed (not "updated") the image to something which at least currently does not exist (is deleted?) and which, if the file name was representative, did not showed the same thing as that described in the image caption! Image replacements which require a new image caption should reasonably not be done with a bot! Tomas e (talk) 15:12, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
