Hi Ronhjones,
Thank you for your for your intervention regarding Bio Health Ph.G (talk · contribs). I think he was a sockpuppet of a the same user who tries (under diffentent names) to remove the content and the sources about the origine of the D'Estienne du Bourguet Family.

Hello Ron, Regret to inform you that the BBC vandal has resurfaced again as 62.172.166.201 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) making exactly the same unsourced changes as previous.

Hello Ronhjones, I hope this message finds you well!!
I got a message recently about a picture I uploaded yesterday to Wikipedia (message on the following URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Andington#File_permission_problem_with_File%3APicture_of_Sweet_Female_Attitude_in_2017.jpg)
The Copyright holder has e-mailed a licence to permissions-en@wikimedia.org (and a copy to me too). But it is a bit confusing as to what we need to do from here. Is there something we need to do to ensure the photograph is not taken down? Here is a copy of the licence:

hi, this message is for pinchofhope concerning an edit I made to page love and hip hop. I deleted information that had been repeated in the previous paragraph. it was literally the same sentence, four sentences later. I don't know how to write on a "talk page" but my edit removed duplicate information. I am going to make the edit again and indicate why more clearly this time because it was not previously understood that I was removing information that had been repeated in the previous paragraph. thank you Jollyioop (talk) 00:30, 2 November 2018 (UTC) Jollyioop (talk) 00:30, 2 November 2018 (UTC) jollyioop

Hi Ronjones. For some reason there are a number of non-free images being displayed at User:RonBot/NewImages which is something not really allowed per WP:NFCC#9; so, the images are bing flagged for review. I'm assuming these are there because they've been reviewed or are being reviewed by Ronbot. If this kind of thing is going to happen a lot you might want to see if you can get the page listed as a maintenance page exemption per WP:NFEXMP. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:03, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

) or a free license with a NFUR. Some fixes for the above images: add |dw=yes

would work. — JJMC89 (T·C) 06:01, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

Hello You deleted tne file thumb| Hannah Winbolt in my one and only article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannah_Winbolt (and likely my last!) because I didn't fully explain its source: The South Wales Daily News 18 January 1895. It was illustrating an article for general publication so is therefore in the public domain and out of copywright. I have substituted a previous photographic copy of it but Stockport Heritage Library would very much like me to include the clearer pen and ink drawing. I hope you will kindly undelete it for me. Diane Coffey Diane Coffey (talk) 19:24, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
I have read your comments but I'm not sure how I can seek permission for something published in the public domain some 123 years ago. I believe the particular paper is no longer published. I am a total newcomer to Wikipedia and find these various talk pages confusing but would really like to complete the article with that version of the pen portrait.Diane Coffey (talk) 20:43, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
The cutting of the actual newspaper article and the page on which it is printed is in possession of Stockport Heritage Library who have emailed me the version that was deleted and it has been used by others elsewhere on Google. I do hope all this is helpful - I want to comply withWikipedia's rules but alsodojustice to Hannah. Diane Coffey (talk) 21:09, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
Dear Ronhjones,
I am speaking to you about Singapore International School, Mumbai wiki page. I had added some information which I know to be true through personal experience of studying in the school, but it is constantly removed. I have been undoing the removal often and even noting in my comments that the person is intentionally removing information from the page, which is very relevant. If you could please add the information I had added again, and stopping others from changing, then that would be great. I normally am not one to edit Wiki articles but once I found out my school had one, I had to include this information.
Feel free to message me again for more information!
Thank you for your time!
Sincerely,

Hello Ronhjones, I am K-Minman96 and in the past couple of days I was approached by you saying that some images I uploaded were too large. Does the image size change by itself or is there a way that I can manually crop the image myself? (K-Minman96 (talk) 21:07, 6 November 2018 (UTC))
Hello, I noticed that the name for File:Popeyes Luisiana Kitchen.svg needs to be fixed as there is a misspelling. It should be Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen.svg not Luisiana.

Hello Ron, I uploaded an image to Wikipedia for the first time, so my apologies if I'm contacting you incorrectly or misunderstand what your bot does.
Unfortunately, the image reduction was so severe (now less than 400px across) that it is barely readable. I had tagged the picture as not public domain out of an abundance of caution, but the image is a tiny part of a much larger work and is from 1971 – centuries old by the standards of software!
This is the file: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Unix_Glob_Reference.png
Is it possible to revert the changes your bot made?
Thanks,
Jeff

I saw you've tagged several photos by the same user for deletion because of a lack of license information. I'm a little concerned about their uploads because they seem to have put a "this is my own work" tag on files to get rid of the warnings in the past, but some of them (ex: File:Noriko Ohara.jpg) might not actually be their own (IMDB link the image came from). I'm just a little concerned since their talk page is almost all files uploaded without licensing information and I figured someone who is a little more familiar with verifying image licensing should take a look.

I noticed you blocked 2605:A000:8040:CC00:0:0:0:0 instead of 2605:A000:8040:CC00:0:0:0:0/64 - I assume you were going for a range block, not just for the one IP. Geraldo Perez (talk) 00:11, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
Hi Ron, I had an idea for new functionality in RonBot. Your bot already fixes images that are too large to meet the NFC guidelines, but another frequent problem with SVG files is that they'll be too small. What often happens is, someone will extract a logo from a PDF where it appeared very small, and as a result, their SVG will have a tiny nominal size. Someone reading an article will click on the logo, expecting to see it bigger, and instead they'll see a much smaller version of it. An example of this right now is the logo on Charlotte Independence (used to affect maybe half of the teams in that league, but I've manually fixed most of them).
Would you consider developing new functionality for RonBot to raise SVGs to the maximum allowed resolution for NFC? Obviously, you wouldn't want to automatically scale up every SVG, since some are presumably intended to be so small. Instead, an editor would have to manually tag the image to be upsized. The current process of manually fixing this is quite tedious, so being able to simply click a button in Twinkle and add a template would make it much easier to eradicate these unnecessarily-tiny logos. Let me know what you think of my idea. Thanks, IagoQnsi (talk) 19:13, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
Hi Ronhjones. Perhaps you can help out with this question? -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:42, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
Please fix your image resize at File:Filemanager31.gif – the text looks horribly broken. It can be resized to the same lower resolution without that effect (though if the text is still unreadable the image should be left at a higher resolution per the usual practice).

bsd. Hi, Ron! I am trying to figure out how to create a "File history", like this one. Is there a script that generates the list, or is it done manually? Is this at all still relevant, or is the "file history" section obsolete? Thank you! --Ben Stone 18:27, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
Looks like you reviewed this image. Am I missing something here? The source credits the photo to the Des Moines Register, and apparently he was arrested by the Poweshiek County sheriff.

Hey hey, could you take a second look at File:The Amityville murders poster.jpg and File:The Amityville Murders poster.jpg? You had tagged them with ((di-no permission))
, but the uploader had tagged them as their own work. I removed the self licensing tags from the file just now because as an official movie poster (IMDB) for the movie, they're definitely not the user's own works. Does that mean they're good to delete as a G12? I'm not really too familiar with file deletion. I've already had to remove other copyrighted material from Amityville Exorcism--that's what motivated me to look at the files more closely. cymru.lass (talk • contribs) 22:25, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

Dear Jones, Thanks for locking Darjeeling Wikipeida page for abrupt editing.
I am resident of Darjeeling Hills for long period of time and my forefather lived here even before Brirish came to Darjeeling. After India got independence, this hill areas were handed over to current India state of West Bengal.Post inclusion, the Hils communities faced discrimination from Bengalese ruled Govt. and this malpractice to throw out Hills communities by West Bengal govt. is still going on.
There were not a single Bengali family lived in Darjeeling Hills including Siliguri(old name Silgadi) during British rule. Post 1947 and 1971, there was huge influx of Bengali speaking people in Northern part of West Bengal primarily in Siliguri and Japlaiguri and outnumbered Hill communities Gorkhas and Lepchas.
Due to supression against Gorkhas(India born Nepalese) specially started due to which India saw violent agitation called Gorkhaland movement during 1986-1988. During this period thousands of Gorkhas killed by West Bengal Police and goons hiding in police dress. After two decades, again agitation for separate state Gorkhaland within India started from 2007 and last occured in 2017.
Due to this, Bengali ruled West Bengal Govt tried to manipulate history as much as and as far as they can to curb the agitation and trying to prove that Gorkhas are not Indians.
Darjeeling Wikipedia page modification with false data is one of such unethical activity of some communal people of West Bengal.
I would like to request you to modify below sentence(false data)
...varied culture of the town reflects its diverse demographic milieu comprising Lepcha, Khampa, Gorkha, Newar, Sherpa, Bhutia, Bengali[5] and other mainland Indian ethno-linguistic groups
With this.
varied culture of the town reflects its diverse demographic milieu comprising Gorkha, Lepcha and Bhutia.
Reason: Newar and Sherpa belong to Gorkha community. Bengalis are very limited in Darjeeling district who live as a temporary guest(official workers).However Gorkhas, Lepchas and Bhutias(aka Hills communities) live there for centuries.

Thank you!

FWIW, I'd previously posted this advice mainly regarding images, so he should know that the image can't be used unless the source licence is changed fro "All rights reserved" Jimfbleak - talk to me? 16:10, 13 December 2018 (UTC)
Hello Ron
This concerns your email message to me. Please see my email reply, as follows:
This photo was taken in 1929. I am the great grandson of the subject, Jean Louise Carré Hadaway. The photo was taken by her husband, William Snelling Hadaway (and the subject of the Wiki article), my great grandfather. He died in 1941. It was left by him to his daughter Hilary Stella Mary Snelling Hadaway, who was also his executor (see attached .jpeg) and also my great aunt. I was her heir and executor upon her death in 1995. The photo is now my property.
I have attached a scan of the document showing that my late great aunt was granted probate.
I hope this addresses your concerns.

Hi Ron,
The owner of the photograph gave me permission to use his photograph, through email.
And I have forwarded that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.
Please let me know if you need any further action from my side.
Thank you.

Thank you for changing the banner for me. I can have Prof. Voth email permissions.
Would that suffice?
Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SDE1492 (talk • contribs) 18:49, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

Hi there Ron, I see that you deleted the draft of Edwin D. Fuller. I have been working closely with the admin Jimfbleak to restore a previous article for Edwin D. Fuller. It wasn't done yet and I had been working on it for weeks to get it where it needs to be. I didn't know that a draft could be deleted. It simply wasn't ready yet but I would like to get the content back so I can continue making changes and corrections. Could you help me get the draft back please? I would really appreciate it. And your notes/comments with errors/issues are welcome because I could use the help. Thank you! Imjustvisiting (talk) 22:54, 14 December 2018 (UTC)
Sorry about that. I will ask RHaworth for assistance. I can get the copyright approved. Thank you! Imjustvisiting (talk) 04:36, 16 December 2018 (UTC)
