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)[reply]

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#Caution about image use and WP:UP#Non-free files). 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)[reply]

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)[reply]

You have shown interest in abortion. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Your submission at Articles for creation: S. D. Smith (June 24)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Praxidicae were:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Amazon and super local papers do nothing to establish notability.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

Disambiguation link notification for August 24

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Alex Kendrick, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Overcomer (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

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.
