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) 18:17, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Scewmadden I realise that you have made some recent contributions to rugby union pages and thought I'd let you know that there are currently a number of discussion at WT:RU which might be of interest to you and could do with some more input.

Hello @Scewmadden: Hope you are well? I was wondering if you know of any guide or help page that a beginner could use to understand how to update the kits for rugby teams? I ask because the Munster kits are out of date and I'd like to update them, but I've never done so before and don't know where to start. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards MunsterFan2011 (talk) 14:47, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @MunsterFan2011:. I'd like to point you to some advice on this topic, but really most of what I've learned has been through trial and error. I started doing graphic design to create images for college projects, so had a little bit of experience to start off with. The main graphics editing program I use for making kits is GIMP, which is open source and available for free download. There are also plenty of tutorials on YouTube for using it. A useful feature on GIMP is the layers. This allows you to put the basic colour on the bottom (eg green for most Connacht kits, red for Munster), details like collars or the famous Adidas stripes on the top layer, then other little details like hoops, stripes, etc on the middle layers. To start, I usually find another club which uses the same kit supplier and see if their page has an up-to-date kit, since companies will often release very similar-looking kits for all teams they work with. For instance, Leinster and Munster both have Adidas kits, so their new kits have very similar templates. This will give you a good idea of where your collar is, where shoulder patterns should start, etc. Another trick I use is for complex kit patterns. I will find a good promotional image of the kit (preferably laid out flat with even lighting, as action shots or outdoor photos will distort colours and make the patterns look different), and then edit out certain details like the sponsor logo until I have isolated a fairly good approximation of the pattern, which I can stick in the middle layer. You don't have to be too exact with this, as you will be shrinking it down to the size you see in the infobox, so most of the blemishes will be impossible to make out. For example, when making the current Connacht 3rd kit, I started with a lime green bottom layer, and a top layer that included the collar, shoulders and dark patches under the armpit. Then I took the picture that accompanies the "BLK CONNACHT 2020 EURO MINI KIT, GREEN" on the Elverys website (I would link to it but Wikipedia has blocked the Elverys url. I recommend looking at the picture anyway, as it's a perfect example of the type of image you should be looking for as a starting point). I then cropped that down to just the torso of the jersey and used the GIMP tool "Select by Color" to isolate all purple parts of the image and deleted everything else. All I had to from that point was tidy up the pattern, fill in the gaps left by sponsor logos, crest, etc, then shrink it and put it in as the middle layer. As I said though, there is a large amount of trial and error involved in learning to do this, and it will be slow and frustrating the first couple of times you do it. I hope this is of some use to you, and I'm sorry I couldn't be more help. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask away. Scewmadden (talk) 19:54, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Scewmadden: thanks very much for getting back to me, and for your detailed response, it's definitely given me food for thought. I confess I have no experience with graphic design, so those YouTube tutorials will come in very handy. Thanks again, you've been very helpful.
