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) 17:10, 10 June 2018 (UTC)

Hello P. I am sorry that you have a misunderstanding about how reFill works. These are formatted by User:Zhaofeng Li/reFill. They may not have everything that you want but they are better than bare links as they are no longer subject to Wikipedia:Link rot. If you do not like them as they are you can either a) enhance them as you see fit or b) restore them to the bare links. If you choose the latter please do not add the bare url tag as anyone else who comes to the page will run the program in the exact same fashion that I did. I'm guessing my post here may not be to your pleasure so please feel free to remove it. Please know that I appreciate your work as an editor and wish you well on WikiP and (more so) off. MarnetteD|Talk 21:25, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
- I just remembered one other possibility - you can post a request here Wikipedia:Cleanup#June but you will have to be specific about what you want done. Regards. MarnetteD|Talk 21:29, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
- Thank you for the explanation but if the program doesn't give acceptable results we shouldn't really be using it. The bareurl tag remains appropriate for as long as they are bare and there are other ways of fixing them, by hand for instance. Really badly formatted refs are not better than bare in my view as they suggest the job has been done when it really hasn't. Philafrenzy (talk) 21:33, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
- Then you will need to take your concerns to one of the village pumps. You should be aware that reFill has been approved by the community and has been used on hundreds of thousands of articles. Thus, its results are acceptable to the current WP:CONSENSUS of the community. MarnetteD|Talk 21:38, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
- That fine for when it works well. But if what it produces is clearly rubbish we shouldn't use it on that occasion. There can never have been any consensus to add references that are missing most of the key information integral to a correctly formatted reference such as dates, authors etc. Philafrenzy (talk) 22:05, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
- Why is a bare URL preferable to a linked title? --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 22:45, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
- Take ref 3 in PROCESSIONS (artwork). It has been formatted solely with "How to march like a Suffragette this weekend" and lacks author, publication, date, and date retrieved. In other words it lacks everything a good ref should have apart from the title. The purpose of formatting them is not to prevent them from being bare urls, it is to give the full source information for the reference including all of those items (where applicable). As a bare URL there is a chance that it will get fixed correctly. In fact, as bare it actually has more information than the current formatted version as it shows the publication and article title: https://www.standard.co.uk/go/london/arts/processions-how-to-march-like-a-suffragette-this-weekend-a3857011.html Philafrenzy (talk) 22:53, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
- OK, so why not use Refill as a starting point and fill in the rest manually? --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 22:57, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
- I agree Redrose but you need to ask the people using Refill and not checking what it produces. Philafrenzy (talk) 23:02, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
- FYI I check each use of the tool. There is no hard and fast rule about what has to be in a cite template. Believe me I have seen cite templates filled in manually that have far less info than in your example. If you insist that there is a problem with reFill and that it should no longer be used than I, again, can only suggest you take it up at the appropriate notice board. MarnetteD|Talk 23:11, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
- I have no problem with Refill. The problem arises if the user does not look at what it produces and ask themselves if it is reasonably complete or needs additional work. Formatting refs is not about replacing a bare url with any formatted text, however useless. It is about adding the full source information or as much as can reasonably be obtained. Philafrenzy (talk) 23:15, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
- Where is that written into policy? I have seen others use reFill in the exact same fashion as I have so you really need to take your concerns to the appropriate notice board since we are doing such damage to the articles that it is being used in.MarnetteD|Talk 23:28, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
- Applying common sense in judging the effectiveness of one's work doesn't really need a policy, but if you insist try WP:COMPETENCE. Philafrenzy (talk) 23:31, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
- Mine is just fine thanks. As is that of the other editors who are using reFill. So, in closing, no actual policy to back up your complaint then. MarnetteD|Talk 23:35, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

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).

Philafrenzy, also @Whispyhistory: Hi, before this hook and image appears on the main page, I think it's a good idea to clean up The Vyne. The latter article calls The Vyne a country house, while William Lyde Wiggett Chute calls it an estate (I added "estate" to the lead of The Vyne). Also, William Lyde Wiggett Chute is not mentioned at all in The Vyne as one of the owners. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 12:44, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
- The house and the estate are synonymous. I improved the Vyne article somewhat. The DYK may well prompt further improvements. Philafrenzy (talk) 21:21, 29 June 2018 (UTC)

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. 2001:8B0:9F0:6034:1C58:95AA:82F:2FB9 (talk) 17:11, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
