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.

Thanks for uploading File:Android Nim Commodore PET.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 09:18, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
Dear all. Recently, our community lost a dedicated user, Flooded with them hundreds (talk). Among their projects were a number of user scripts that were deleted when they left. I (DannyS712) have asked that they be undeleted, and have taken over maintaining them. You currently import Flooded's (deleted) script, and I thought that you might want to import a working version. Links to each script are provided below.
If you have any questions, please reach out and talk to me. --DannyS712 (talk) 21:31, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi Salvidrim! I have declined the speedy nomination you placed on Sergio Calderón becuase the new article was not "substantially identical" to the deleted version. Also, although the previous discussion was closed as a delete, the only participant was the nominator, meaning per WP:NOQUORUM it should be treated as a soft delete. I went ahead and restored the article history, because that version cited a source, which I re-added to the article. However, I have concerns that Sergio Calderón may not meet WP:NACTOR, and a (admittedly quick and superficial) search did not turn up any additional sources. I wanted to let you know that if you want to proceed with an AFD I have absolutely no problem with that. ~ ONUnicorn(Talk|Contribs)problem solving 18:56, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
I don't understand. A previous incarnation of this article was sent to AfD and deleted. How does that prevent me from applying a PROD to this version? John from Idegon (talk) 23:03, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
It must not be used for pages PRODed before or previously discussed at AfD or FfD." If the recreation is substantially similar, then G4 it. If it is not substantially similar, send to AfD if you believe the article topic does not meet our inclusion criteria. Ben · Salvidrim! ✉ 23:07, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
Re Special:Permalink/881027757#Managing a conflict of interest: what is the basis for this belief? I have no evidence to the contrary, I'm only here because they asked me about it off-wiki. I didn't know what to tell them. — MusikAnimal talk 01:02, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
Leaving a link to posterity to where some discussion is occurring: User talk:HouseLuv 20#Managing a conflict of interest. Ben · Salvidrim! ✉ 20:04, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
... doesn't mean I'm even considering a new RfA yet. Thoughts on the topic always welcome but I don't envision RfA2 being a thing in 2019 at this point. Ben · Salvidrim! ✉ 21:59, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
The Arbitration Committee is currently considering a motion which affects you. It can be viewed at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Clarification and Amendment#Motion: Conduct of Mister Wiki editors. Bradv🍁 15:26, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
The Arbitration Committee has resolved by motion that:
Remedy 2.1 of the Conduct of Mister Wiki editors arbitration case (t) (ev / t) (w / t) (pd / t) (Salvidrim's prohibition from reviewing articles for creation drafts) is rescinded. He may apply for use of the AfC helper script as usual at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Articles for creation/Participants.

Hey Ben, I started a proposal for updating the VG MoS in regards to covers and seeing as you've been active in the area I thought you may be interested CrimsonFox talk 12:41, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
Hi Ben. I'm curious at what drew your attention back to this article, created by an undisclosed paid editor and deleted as promotional years ago? In the recent ARCA we decided not to formally restrict you from paid editing, but the lift of your topic ban was on the understanding that you would not be returning to it, and I'll be honest this is a bit of a red flag. – Joe (talk) 09:24, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
Forgive my ignorance in not knowing how these things work-- you undid my revision (which was in itself an undoing of a revision) re-adding the proposed deletion notice. I only added the notice back as the grounds for its removal seemed flimsy in the first place, and I believe it should remain given that the consensus was to delete the page. I'm obviously going about this in the wrong way, but I certainly don't want to take such drastic action as deleting the page myself... if you've any advice to give on what action should be taken, I would be glad to hear it.
Forgive & bless.
