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 the calculation of 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. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Wikipedia is in receipt of communication regarding File:Ehud Arye Laniado.jpg. ticket:2019042310005678
We treat the contents of such communications as confidential but I don't think I'm saying too much to say they objected to the use of a copyrighted image.
I deleted the image.
I do see that you had a Nonfree rationale, so I do understand that this wasn't a misunderstanding, but a belief that a legitimate exception to copyright law exists.
My preference would be for the community to have a debate about the specific image including possibly a check with legal counsel. I'm not convinced that our desire to have an image qualifies as an exception to copyright law, but if our legal counsel concurs I will not object to the restoration of the image.-- S Philbrick (Talk) 14:33, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

The article Martin Graham has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
No indication of notability. No secondary sources, and the primary sources don't offer much beyond hagiographic hype.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

By removing my recent hatnotes on AI Global Media, you appear to disagree that the references should be improved to ensure the business demonstrates notability. The AFD the article went through was closed as no consensus, yet reviewing the poor current sourcing, and what's available through a simple Google search, that looks like a bad call. You seem to be a pretty experienced editor - it seems odd to not only give this one a pass for having such poor sourcing, but to also hamper attempts to encourage other editors to improve the article with more sourcing. What am I missing? TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 17:34, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
Hello. When uploading non-free images under fair use, please only upload low-resolution images to comply with WP:NFCCP#3, Minimal usage. Images with one or both dimensions exceeding 1,000 pixels (e.g. 1, 2) are definitely not low resolution. A rule of thumb I use is to make images no larger (or at least not much larger) than they would be when displayed in an infobox or thumbnail. See WP:Image resolution for more. You can also add {{ Non-free reduce}} to have a bot automatically resize images. Lastly, note that some very simple logos consisting solely of basic text (e.g. File:Restitutiecommissie logo.jpg) are ineligible for Copyright and can be uploaded at full size straight to Commons, with templates {{ PD-text}} or {{ PD-textlogo}}.
