Olympic Reference

Hello. As I've reviewed Afghanistan at the 2016 Summer Olympics for you in the past, I thought I'd let you know that Olympic Reference will be closing by March 2020. Hopefully, a new site with these stats will be coming soon. See here. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 18:27, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

DatBot complaints

File:1943NaziZombieWingsComics.jpg

Please stop making the image size smaller. Doing so makes the text in the image too small to be able to read. Please leave the image alone so it can clearly illustrate the first appearance of a "Nazi Zombie" in a 1943 vintage comic book on the "Nazi zombie" article. All you are doing is messing things up. Please stop immediately. ZombieHorrorMovie13 (talk —Preceding undated comment added 00:40, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

DatBot is shrinking way too much

DatBot is shrinking way too much. We don't need images to be shrunk down to postage stamps to stay compliant. Can't even read text on some of these anymore. E.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Shah_of_Iran_building_two_nuclear_plants.jpg Please stop this bot from destroying more of Wikipedia. This issue has affected other bots too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Theo%27s_Little_Bot/disable/resizer#Too_reduced Kaze0010 (talk) 07:37, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

@Kaze0010 and ZombieHorrorMovie13: Please see {{Non-free manual reduce}} and {{Non-free no reduce}}. Dat GuyTalkContribs 20:23, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

I 100% agree with "User:Kaze0010", he is right. The DatBot is making the image way, way, too small. So small that the text is unreadable. It needs to stop making the image microscopic. ZombieHorrorMovie13 (talk —Preceding undated comment added 00:47, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

Did you read my reply? Dat GuyTalkContribs 13:58, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

Leaving a message on my talk page?

Why did you ask me a stupid question on my talk page? That edit was correct. TheBigMan720 (talk) 18:04, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

DatBot non-reduction bug

Hi DatGuy. File:Savage Intruder.jpg is 655 × 1,000, which needs reduction and can be reduced. DatBot removed {{non-free reduce}} instead of reducing it. — JJMC89(T·C) 02:34, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

@JJMC89: You're right, it should resize it. I think the code is due for a rewrite anyways, I'll try and get it done within the next seven days. Dat GuyTalkContribs 20:23, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
@JJMC89: I've redone the bot. Tell me if you encounter any issues anytime soon. Dat GuyTalkContribs 23:36, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
Thanks. I'll keep an eye out. — JJMC89(T·C) 07:12, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
The task doesn't seem to be running at all. — JJMC89(T·C) 06:14, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
@JJMC89: Should be fixed, I'm running it manually right now to make sure it works fine. Dat GuyTalkContribs 13:53, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
