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 calculation 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. RonBot (talk) 17:09, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

  • I'm going to alter the lead on Chuckerbutty later. Modern medicine was already there but that is what it says in the source. In addition, I'm working on his medical contributions. In meantime, can you think of a hook for dyk? Sounds like @Edwardx: is thinking of one.
Still working on Rook. It doesn't actually cite those papers on K and the blistering skin diseases. If we say they are important it should. Philafrenzy (talk) 08:07, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

biological vs. biographical

Actually, my use of the word "biological" was intentional, to coincide with "geographical". Reason: some editors can claim a lot of created articles, but the articles consist of "x is a species of frog" or "y is a place in southern North Dakota". Biographical articles, such as you write, don't lend themselves to such mini-stubs. Cheers! 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 19:09, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

Ah, I get you now. Changed back. Thanks. Philafrenzy (talk) 21:04, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

Administrator

What do you think about becoming an administrator on English Wikipedia. I looked through quite a lot of your contributions and they all look very constructive. You also made a lot of articles and got a lot of Did you Know nominations for a lot of your articles. You also made more than 160,000 contributions to Wikipedia and I feel you will do a good job with the tools. Pkbwcgs (talk) 20:59, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for asking Pkbwcgs. I have been thinking about it but am uncertain how to proceed or exactly what admin work I would carry out. Have you experience in this area? Philafrenzy (talk) 22:53, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
No. I don't have experience in being an administrator. Pkbwcgs (talk) 15:52, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
OK, thank you, I meant in proposing people? Philafrenzy (talk) 15:55, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
Pinging Ritchie333 here as he's usually on the lookout for candidates. --NeilN talk to me 16:01, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
No. I don't usually propose users. However, I looked through your contributions and I think you will be amazing as an admin. Pkbwcgs (talk) 16:06, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
(edit conflict)I, for one, would be enthusiastic about such a candidacy. Have you ever wanted to revdelete an egregious BLP violation? Have ever you wanted to stop a persistent vandal? You don't need to aim to be Wikipedia's most high-profile admin to be an asset. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 16:09, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
Yes to both! How would I proceed? Philafrenzy (talk) 16:14, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
I am nominating you. One second... Pkbwcgs (talk) 16:16, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
(ec) I've worked with Philafrenzy on lots of articles; I would say he's a better writer on London topics than I am. The ideal job would be working the DYK queues and possibly also patrolling the OTD / ITN / DYK reports on WP:ERRORS. I'm happy to do the full RfA proctological examination if he so wishes. Pkbwcgs, just hold your horses for a minute, or at least show me evidence you have read User:Kudpung/RfA criteria and that he checks all boxes. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 16:20, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
Just read them, I would be surprised if anyone met them all to be honest. I would hope it is the overall picture that counts. Philafrenzy (talk) 16:29, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
@Ritchie333: The candidate check the majority of the boxes but not all the boxes. For example, I found this deletion discussion about an article that Philafrenzy created (I check the archives) and was deleted for not being notable. I also found quite a handful of AfDs but the majority of them were closed as being kept. I will do a full check. Pkbwcgs (talk) 16:31, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
Out of 5000 created articles, I wouldn't worry about a couple deleted ones, it is a *very* small percentage. His AfD record of being "correct" is a combined 85% when matching or resulting in "no consensus", which is reasonable. You might want to note if you'd do anything differently at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tonya Kinzinger or Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shafy Bello, but it should also be noted his !vote matches consensus much more than it did a few years ago. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 16:44, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
(edit conflict) You don't have to meet all of them, I didn't, but you should be able to reasonably explain why you don't meet a couple. If you're ready, Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Philafrenzy can be started, and you can look at the first mandatory questions. It doesn't mean you have to jump off the high dive, or even climb the ladder, you are just looking at the board right now. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 16:37, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
Do I create that page? Philafrenzy (talk) 16:39, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
If you want, or I can. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 16:40, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
I would be grateful if you would. Thanks. Philafrenzy (talk) 16:41, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
I've done enough RfA nominations recently, I think it's time for somebody else to have a go. 78.26, if you want to take the lead on this - go for it. I think people will ask you questions on the handful of articles you created that were deleted at AfD, but provided you respect the consensus (and I see no evidence you haven't) and weighted against the thousands that are absolutely fine, we should be able to work around it. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 16:46, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
I would be honored to nominate, but it would be much better if we had co-nominator, in particular since you'd be my first nomination. Have you looked at Wikipedia:Request an RfA nomination? 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 16:53, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
SoWhy may be interested in co-nominating, though I would expect him to do a thorough look at your contributions first. As your name is absent from User:SoWhy/List of declined speedies, it may be possible. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 17:00, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
(pinged) Possible but not likely. I do not nominate people I would not support (logically) and I generally do not support users who don't use edit summaries half the time because I find it shows a lack of communication willingness necessary for adminship. Without checking your contributions further, I would advise against running at this time. The fact that you have not read any of the RFA-related pages apparently will likely lead people to assume that you are prone to act hastily (like accepting a nomination that has not even been written). Regards SoWhy 17:11, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
That is true. I got a 99.3% record of using the edit summary. Pkbwcgs (talk) 17:20, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
Is that stat even right? It is very rare I leave no summary at all, only by accident. Philafrenzy (talk) 17:31, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
It seems to depend which tool you use. For example, the Admin Score option of Xtools gives an excellent score for this (Edit summaries 100 133,933 edit summaries used in the article space) My impression is that it depends on the treatment of boilerplate edit summaries like section headings. In practise, I don't consider this to be significant. For example, see the edit history of Ayahs' Home. There Philafrenzy is working closely with another main editor. The edit summaries from both are perfunctory but I suppose that's because they are building the article and so focussing on the text of the article. That's the mindset of a content contributor rather than a drive-by patroller. If they had a dispute or other issue, I supposed they would discuss on the talk page, rather than using edit summaries. But they seemed to get the job done fine without any hassle. Andrew D. (talk) 17:44, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
Thank you Andrew for pointing this out. On xtools it is 93.9%. No doubt it could be higher and the summary fuller, but I don't think I fail to leave a reasonable summary where necessary or in contentious situations. Philafrenzy (talk) 18:42, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
Somebody could do nothing except use Twinkle 24/7 and leave edit summaries every time : "Requesting speedy deletion .... ", "Nominating for deletion .... ", "Caution: Final warning, vandalism on .... ", "You may be blocked without warning the next time .... " - none of those tell you anything about whether somebody is a good admin candidate or not (and from my view it's usually skewered towards "not"). That said, I have made my views on edit summaries well-known here - though Philafrenzy is most definitely not on my list of "people I get annoyed at for not leaving edit summaries". Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 17:49, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
I think that edit summaries are very useful. However, sometimes users use misleading edit summaries for actually bad edits. I would be neutral about edit summaries. I think that some users and IPs mislead others thinking that it is a good edit when it is actually vandalism. However, there are pros and cons about edit summaries. Pkbwcgs (talk) 17:56, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
I think that stat is a little misleading in the context of creating new articles that are not on anyone's watch list. I only "accepted" in anticipation. The nomination has not actually been made live. I have removed the acceptance until a later stage. Thanks for pointing out it was premature. Philafrenzy (talk) 17:16, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
I know what you mean when you are building the article. Most of my edit summaries when the article is in draft mode are utterly inane, because I don't want to type "Building the article" "Still building the article" over and over. I would recommend you address this up front, and promise to never skip the edit summary when acting in an administrative capacity. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 17:24, 13 March 2018 (UTC) That means using an edit summary when replying on your own talk page... looking at history it will require a change in habits, I'm afraid. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 17:26, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
Exactly right. I fixed the refs on a new one yesterday that took 45 mins and numerous similar edits and used a boiler-plate CE. Certainly, for others a full edit summary should be given. Philafrenzy (talk) 17:29, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
I have faith in you that you will be a good admin. All you need to do is to make sure you use the edit summary most of the time (especially when replying to comments and making mainspace edits). A few mistakes shouldn't stop you from actually being an admin. I am going to support you and good luck in your RfA. Pkbwcgs (talk) 17:33, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
Yes, it's the overall picture. I didn't meet all of them yet Kudpung said some very nice things in my RFA. --NeilN talk to me 16:42, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
Wish you good luck with this! Pkbwcgs (talk) 16:47, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
This has just turned blue. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 16:50, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
Thank you! Philafrenzy (talk) 16:55, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
All you need to do now is to state whether you are accepting or declining the nomination. If you want, you can have some time to think about it. @78.26: Just like in other nominations, can you please state your nomination in the Nomination section. Pkbwcgs (talk) 17:02, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
Yes, that would be a requirement. However, it would be better if Philafrenzy answers the questions first, then I can better tailor my nomination statement. I don't think we're in a big rush here, I would recommend the candidate give it time for thought. The more complete the answers are, the smoother the election will go. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 17:04, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
Thank you. I have accepted but will work on the answers to the questions over the next 24hrs. Thank you for your advice. Philafrenzy (talk) 17:05, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
Your welcome. Pkbwcgs (talk) 17:06, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

I'll give you a few other tips - Q1 should only be a few areas that you would consider yourself comfortable with. Anything you say here can and will be used against you in evidence questions, so only put down things you are really comfortable with, policy wise. Q2 should be something to do with content - list your favourite GAs or FAs you've worked on. Q3 should show that you can make mistakes and learn from them and is a bit of a balancing act - it needs to be specific enough so people know you're being honest, but not so specific that people can leap on things to oppose with. For example, at my RfA I was concerned that I'd told an admin to fuck off once, and after discussion with Kudpung we went with "I have very occasionally been blunt and direct, but never to new or inexperienced editors." Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 17:17, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

Thanks. A "full and frank exchange of views". Philafrenzy (talk) 17:19, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
Don't get too cute if things like what Ritchie333 described are in your editing history. "[B]lunt and direct" is an accurate description but I wouldn't want someone as an admin who thinks telling someone to fuck off is an "exchange of views". --NeilN talk to me 18:44, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
That's why the operative word was "concerned" - language like that is unacceptable from an administrator in my view. I'm pretty sure you've got nothing like that squirreled away in your contributions anyway. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 20:38, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
Sure, they aren't. Philafrenzy (talk) 18:49, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

Email

I wanted to follow up some details about the edit summaries and thought I might email them rather than adding to the discussion above as it's getting too long. But I find that the Philafrenzy account doesn't have email enabled. Note that per WP:ADMINACCT, "best practices are for administrators to have email enabled" and I seem to recall this coming up in other cases. You'd need to think through your position on this. Andrew D. (talk) 19:08, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

It's not a position as such and I have enabled it Andrew. Thanks. Philafrenzy (talk) 19:15, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

Any progress on this? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 15:48, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

Yes, thanks for asking Ritchie, I am working on the three questions offline but probably won't start it until after the end of April as over the next month I have too many real world commitments and I want to make sure I am fully prepared and have time to respond to it. Philafrenzy (talk) 16:02, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

August 2018 break

I have created a rough draft of a co-nomination statement. @Ritchie333: you may wish to review as well. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 17:07, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

@78.26: I don't think Philafrenzy said anything about blocking vandals; though I had 0 edits to AIV when I got the mop and I've not had any trouble (well, aside from telling people good faith but disruptive edits or WP:COMPETENCE are not vandalism). Other than that, it looks pretty much what I had in mind, something to "sell" the candidate beyond my "just the facts, ma'am" opening statement. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 19:25, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
That statement was a result of his response to my question (16:09, 13 March 2018) towards the top. Philafrenzy, I can remove that statement if you want, it is a minor point among my nom statement. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 19:37, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
Thanks for your wonderful endorsement, 78.26. I am the one honoured. Yes, please trim. I think it is stronger with a narrower rationale. Philafrenzy (talk) 20:51, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
I've removed that sentence, and tweaked the sentence discussed elsewhere. If my own candidate is confused by my poor writing, pity the poor !voter.... Anyway, let me know what you think. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 21:19, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
Looks good, thanks. Philafrenzy (talk) 21:28, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
Okay, sign where it says "Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:" and we'll be off. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:44, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
Done, thank you all. Philafrenzy (talk) 11:22, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

And we are live. Good luck! Remember to check WP:RFAADVICE carefully before answering questions. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 11:24, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Miller McClintock.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Miller McClintock.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. B (talk) 12:24, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Earnest Elmo Calkins.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Earnest Elmo Calkins.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Bilorv(c)(talk) 15:03, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

This notice is impersonal but I’m supposed to leave it here per the copyright problems instructions. The idea is that the text in the article comes from a source with a CC-BY-SA 4.0 license, which according to WMF legal isn’t compatible with the 3.0 license we use on Wikipedia. Thanks, /wiae /tlk 12:32, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
No problem, I didn't know those two CC BY SA licenses weren't compatible. Philafrenzy (talk) 12:42, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
@Wiae: I've struck the questionable content and redirected the article to Chepstow Place as I'm struggling to find sources (it's possible when I get home I'll find a paragraph in my copy of the London Encyclopedia or drag something out of the Survey of London, at which point I'll undo that). There's a Daily Mail piece about them being dry cleaners to Margaret Thatcher, but I'm not sure that's the same place, plus, well, it's the Mail. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 12:44, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
I think the 4.0 license for text is a confusing one and I wouldn’t blame you for the mixup—it’s not very well documented on Wikipedia. Sorry again for the form message. Thanks for helping out too Ritchie333. I think that is a fine solution. /wiae /tlk 12:50, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Magema Magwaza Fuze, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Natal (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.)

Anastasia Soare

Thank you for coming up with a more succinct DYK hook at Template:Did you know nominations/Anastasia Soare. As you can see from the daily pageviews (350-400 per day) graph on Talk:Anastasia Soare, she is probably better known than we imagined. Edwardx (talk) 23:23, 24 August 2018 (UTC)

Impressive views. Philafrenzy (talk) 10:15, 25 August 2018 (UTC)

Thank you!

...for getting the Helene Darrell Brown entry started! I really enjoyed developing it, so far as I could, and I admit I would not have done so if I'd just come across the name on a list of redlinks, even with the source. And perhaps someone with a couple of Bermuda history books will come by and bring it still further along--but already I think it makes a nice addition to several underdescribed areas of the encyclopedia. Thank you! Innisfree987 (talk) 00:18, 25 August 2018 (UTC)

Thanks! Benefits of creating a stub. This has happened to me so many times. There must be many more Caribbean politicians that are missing. Really the credit belongs to whoever decided to digitise that party history and make it freely available. Philafrenzy (talk) 07:02, 25 August 2018 (UTC)
It's really a great example of the Wikipedia aspiration--an encyclopedia built collectively, brick by digital brick! Innisfree987 (talk) 21:10, 25 August 2018 (UTC)
This idea that we are in "maintenance" mode because we have done all the world's capital cities and all the U.S. presidents is quite wrong. Philafrenzy (talk) 21:24, 25 August 2018 (UTC)
