The resolution reduction of File:Dekemvriana_1944_SYNTAGMA.jpg on 27 April 2017 makes it very hard to distinguish uniforms and people (not) holding guns.
Please restore to prior size - (if I remember correctly) the image was already low quality scan from paper.

- Added my comment at Wikipedia:Files_for_discussion/2017_November_6#File:Dekemvriana_1944_SYNTAGMA.jpg, as DatGuy cannot revert.

I know DatBot6 starts at 10pm, so I've been trying to tag before then (not as easy as when we were BST and it was 11pm, now we're back to GMT=UTC and it's now 10pm here). So there were plenty of files, but it only ran 27min. RonBot1 died as well at 5sm, but totally unrelated, c'ést la vie.

- Honestly, DatBot is crashing a lot. I'll add a try: except: statement.

- @Ronhjones: Actually, I'll just fully rewrite the code using more updated libraries. Could you try to move some files to test2wiki?

- https://test2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Upload says "NO MORE UPLOADS". So I made https://test2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Non-free_reduce and stuck it on a few old images already on the test wiki - see https://test2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedia_non-free_file_size_reduction_requests.

- See you are still struggling with bot (I saw a zero byte upload on the test wiki!). I've stopped tagging files every day (so the category does not get ridiculously full), I've enable Theo again (it will do some random number of files every day), and I'm running the bot code on my PC in semi-auto mode (I have to press return between each upload - otherwise it becomes a non-approved bot!), when I'm at the PC. If there's anything else I can do, let me know.

 The abuse filter now has a function called get_matches. You can use it to store matches from regular expressions – one of each capturing group. You can read more in Phabricator.
Problems
- Last week's MediaWiki version didn't come to all Wikipedias because of a database crash. It will be on all wikis on 20 November. [9][10][11]

Meetings
 You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 21 November at 19:30 (UTC).

Future changes
- Language converter syntax will no longer work inside external links. Wikitext like
http://-{zh-cn:foo.com; zh-hk:bar.com; zh-tw:baz.com}- must be replaced. You will have to write -{zh-cn: http://foo.com ; zh-hk: http://bar.com ; zh-tw:http://baz.com }- instead. This only affects languages with Language Converter enabled. Examples of such languages are Chinese and Serbian. This will happen next week. [12][13]
