If you're here because you want a better image, please read either of the following explanations:
Short explanation: One of DatBot's functions is to resize non-free images that are larger than 0.1 megapixels as to fit Wikipedia's policy. Long explanation: Images that are uploaded on individual Wikipedias rather than Commons are non-free. One of the criteria is 'minimal usage', which in part includes that images should be rescaled as small as possible to still be useful as identified by their rationale, and no larger. Currently, that number stands at 100000 pixels, or 0.1 megapixels. If the resizing process itself made the image unusable, you can revert the change and add ((Non-free manual reduce)). Otherwise, your best option is to find a free image or ask the copyright holder to release the image under a free license. See the free license and public domain images tutorial. The bot DOES NOT upload original images. If that's what you're looking for you're at the wrong place. If you've read the above and it does not apply to you, you can follow through to the operator's talk page here. |

I can't explain this edit, which removed a necessary closing brace. – Jonesey95 (talk) 00:18, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
Just my two cents, but this bot makes comparison pictures like [1] practically and functionally worthless. Might as well just delete at that point. Haruyasha (talk) 22:57, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
Anyone able to fix File:Goddess of Commerce, Tacoma, Washington.jpg? ---Another Believer (Talk) 02:46, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
Dear DatBot,
Size reduction of this report image makes it illegible. The image supports and illustrates the article Trinity_(nuclear_test)#Energy_measurements where this unclassified eyewitness report by famous physicist Enrico Fermi already was quoted long before
About 40 seconds after the explosion the air blast reached me....would be produced by ten thousand tons of T.N.T.
Readers can verify the whole report by themselves if the original image is retained. So
Thank you, the uploader of this report image, Hansmuller (talk) 07:26, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

Could you please delete the older version of the image transparent with your bot? Because I've undone this transparent image logo Vietnamese cite as they are new uploads.

On January 3, 2024, Datbot uploaded a reduced-size version of the image. I am requesting that the previous version of the labelled file be permanently reinstated on the basis that the extensive labelling on this image already serves as a watermark, i.e. the labelling already prevents use of the unlabelled image because the labelling is permanent and cannot be removed according to the following statement extracted from Apple Support ( https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/preview/prvw1501/mac ): "Note: If you annotate an image file, you can’t edit, move, or delete the annotations after you save the image.”
Additionally, I had already reduced the size of the original Google Maps’ screenshot from 5.7 MB to 1.87 MB, a reduction of about one third.
Fulfilling this request will help make “Wikipedia the best that it can be”. Robert Neustadter (talk) 19:26, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Acrobat_(novel).jpeg 265 × 425 (22 KB) gets resized to 249 × 400 (77 KB). How does resizing it make it take up more space? Dream Focus 23:26, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
I recently uploaded File:World of Horror screenshot.jpg and didn't resize it, but the DatBot autoresize ended up butchering/compressing much of the legibility of the interface due to the way the game is laid out surrounded by borders along with the small icons, so I ended up resizing it myself in a slightly different way that produced a sharper result with a slightly larger resolution (by which I mean, only 450 × 253 compared to 421 × 237), which ironically produced a smaller filesize, only for the bot to "fix" that by shrinking it down and re-obscuring the image, which makes it significantly blurier in addition to being smaller.

I've created an userbox template TGGC member and used with one of your (non-)free images, Turkish GGC emblem. Is it usable? Kys5g (talk) 07:48, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

I have uploaded File:Three Little Pigs - Fuller Brush Man 1933 and 1948.png to illustrate the difference between the original 1933 release and the modified 1948 release. I was careful to size this image so that neither frame exceeds 320x240 pixels; however, because there are two frames in it, the total image size is approximately 650 pixels wide and is slightly more than 0.1 megapixels. I think that this should suffice to meet the non-free media guidelines, but DatBot keeps resizing it. Is it possible to exclude this file from DatBot? —Tim Pierce (talk) 17:02, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
