@Stefan2: I did suggest a bad file - looks like the bot is right and the Wiki image page is wrong - if on clicks the image to get to https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/7b/Everybody%27s_Fool_%28Evanescence_single_-_cover_art%29.jpg then that looks like the right size, it's the image on File:Everybody's Fool (Evanescence single - cover art).jpg which is obviously too big, suspect it will just need a re-upload over the top to fix the page data. DatGuy, since the bot is doing it's job OK, and getting the true data, are you happy if we start it?

OK :-). Not sure if will help, I'm running the code one file at a time, like a macro, just to cut down the backlog a bit (not a lot - limited bandwidth!) - using Pillow, I needed to add

from PIL import ImageFile
ImageFile.LOAD_TRUNCATED_IMAGES = True

Else I got endless errors in "littleimage.py" of the sort - "IOError: image file is truncated" (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12984426/python-pil-ioerror-image-file-truncated-with-big-images) Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 17:52, 2 September 2017 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2017-09-02T17:52:00.000Z","author":"Ronhjones","type":"comment","level":6,"id":"c-Ronhjones-2017-09-02T17:52:00.000Z-DatGuy-2017-08-31T17:27:00.000Z","replies":["c-Ronhjones-2017-09-05T19:12:00.000Z-Ronhjones-2017-09-02T17:52:00.000Z"]}}-->

Just to add that my code with Pillow 2.7 is working just fine on GIF files (unlike PIL, which used to corrupt them - which is why Theo's code separates out GIF files). So I am concentrating on all the very old GIF files, some of which have have a reduce tag on them for years.

Maybe. The code could use to be updated and rewritten, but PC is still in the ocean. Thankfully I have an actual laptop now, so replies should be quicker. The issue that makes it unusable on Linux is the process of copying exif metadata, which can be seen at the top of littleimage.py.

I'll take your word on that, I've hardly used Linux. The Windoze pyexiv2 module works just fine for me. I can concentrate on the GIFs anyway - we don't get that many, so an occasional blitz (once I've done the 650 that are tagged) should suffice.

  • Nice. I'll think I'll stick with Windoze for now. I've actually sorted out the GIFs (Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/RonBot 2) - not every GIF did reduce OK, some issues...
    1. Black image - I needed to test output file size - much smaller than expected, there's something in the structure of about 1% of the GIFs here that Pillow gives a bad result
    2. Chequerboard patterning - Bot runs in Supervised mode, where the edits are checked later, no other way of finding that out, seems to be due to the low numbers of colours in the palette, where there was a graduation of colour in the original image.
    3. Animated! - had to count the number of frames, the Pillow module will only do a single frame.

Thus we still need DatBot6 doing just the files it did before. Note GIFs are now in Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests (been moved from Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing), with all the other images for reduction, so DatBot6 will need to skip them (as did Theo's code) Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 20:58, 20 September 2017 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2017-09-20T20:58:00.000Z","author":"Ronhjones","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Ronhjones-2017-09-20T20:58:00.000Z-DatGuy-2017-09-20T20:02:00.000Z","replies":["c-DatGuy-2017-09-30T06:19:00.000Z-Ronhjones-2017-09-20T20:58:00.000Z"]}}-->

If you can that would be great. I had to stop tagging files as the category was a bit full, Between myself (in semi-auto mode) and Theo's old bot we are only doing about 150-300 a day, and others are still tagging the odd file, so the category is reducing only slowly. And there is still 120,000 files which will probably need tagging and reducing - probably 6-12 months to do.

We are the same person... :-) I've been using my alt account to log my semi-auto reductions using the python code with a "raw_input("Press Enter to continue...")" just before the upload command (and I can view the reduced file in the temp directory before hitting return). I think you have done about 3/4 of the backlog (was about 2000 files), at about 5 files a minute, so an hour or two will complete - then we can start tagging again - only 125,000 files to go (not all in one go!)

I am only starting this discussion to stave off issues other uses might have, not that I have a personal complaint I know @Ronhjones: has a method to tag non-frees > 0.1MP, which is fine, and DatBot operates on this information to resize (again, also generally fine). I know we've discussed that if a user objects to the potential resize, they can change the tag Ronjhones adds to a form that has DatBot will not touch it. The elements are all fine and within policy.

What I do see going to be a problems with what is happening is that the interaction is getting faster. this one took under 5 hrs between the tag and reduction. This is not generally considered enough time for one to react to such changes, and I can see users getting upset. The only buffer on this is that the original images are not removed in a timely manner (at least 7 days checking DatBot's history) but this means if DatBot reacts before the user can change the template, they need to go to admin to fix. Given some attitudes towards non-free presently, this could end up at AN, again. Editors don't like their NFC messed with, I've found. I know there's been very minimal issues to date, I'm just concerned it could get worse.

I know I mentioned the delay between Ronhjones and DatBot before. Since we can coordinate between tagging and DatBot, I am wondering that if Ronhjones includes a date and time parameter in that tagging template that DatBot can read and not take action until at least, say, 24-48hrs has passed. This should be minimum work for either of you if there's agreement on that format, I'd think (I don't know how DatBot works exactly). --MASEM (t) 01:46, 17 October 2017 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2017-10-17T01:46:00.000Z","author":"Masem","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Masem-2017-10-17T01:46:00.000Z-Again_on_the_timing_between_Ronhjones's_non-free_size_tagging_and_DatBot_resizin","replies":["c-DatGuy-2017-10-17T11:12:00.000Z-Masem-2017-10-17T01:46:00.000Z"]}}-->

@Masem: Regarding Again, I don't think there ever was a prequel to this discussion? The AN thread was about the task not starting. Anyways, if Ronhjones agrees I could add a function to make sure that the page hasn't been edited for 24 hours (if you consider that to be a sufficient time) before resizing the file. FYI DatBot runs at 9:00 AM (midnight) UTC every day unless there's a big backlog, which I then manually activate.

@Masem: This has always been the case. Before Datbot6 we had Theo's Little Bot#1, which used the same criteria - All the files in Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests would be processed on the next bot's run (which as DatBot6, was once daily). What you may not have noticed in the past was that Theo's bot broke down at least 2 years ago and started only doing some files a day until it crashed, so the reductions were not done as was always expected, and there was always a backlog. Since DatGuy and I have changed nothing, then I think you need to raise it at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content and see if you can get a consensus to change the standard action. If that is the case then either DatBot could delay or we could have a time sorted category - something like "Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests after X days". However I suspect that some editors might feel, that we then have a legal issue in leaving oversized non-free files, when we have identified that they are oversized. Also it is often not possible to decide on the quality of a reduction until it has actually been carried out (otherwise it's just a guess). Finally, an admin is not necessary to fix a reduction - that's why we have the 7 days of showing both old and new images, so that reverts can be done if truly necessary. Only after the 7 days has past, and the orphaned versions are revision deleted, does one need the help of an admin.

Hi. Just wanted to point you to this change which your bot made marking an image as an orphan even though it has been continually used on a page. There's no need for immediate action, a different bot removed the tag (which is how I noticed it was there in the first place), but thought you could use an example of mistagging. Thanks!

@Protonk: I'm not sure you understand the function for the bot. If you'd take a look at Template:Di-orphaned fair use, it's different than Template:Orphaned non-free revisions. My bot only resizes the version that doesn't fall under NFCC, specifically #3. Also, I pretty much created the code for RonBot (with help from Ronhjones), which works hand in hand with DatBot. I couldn't run it since it's an adminbot :).

Hmm. It does seem I've misunderstood the function. Sorry about that. I also didn't know about the (new?) NFU requirement to delete old image revisions. Thanks for the update.

Hello DatGuy/Archives/2017, thank you for your efforts reviewing new pages!

Backlog update:

• The new page backlog is currently at 12,878 pages. We have worked hard to decrease from over 22,000, but more hard work is needed! Please consider reviewing even just a few pages a day.
• We have successfully cleared the backlog of pages created by non-confirmed accounts before ACTRIAL. Thank you to everyone who participated in that drive.

Technology update:

• Primefac has created a script that will assist in requesting revision deletion for copyright violations that are often found in new pages. For more information see User:Primefac/revdel.

General project update:

• The Article Wizard has been updated and simplified to match the layout style of the new user landing page. If you have not yet seen it, take a look.
• To keep up with the latest conversation on New Pages Patrol or to ask questions, you can go to Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers and add it to your watchlist.

See File:Grean Fictions poster.jpg, where the bot reduced the image area by 38% but reduced the file size by 70%, leaving a horribly artifacted image. Perhaps better jpeg settings could be used? --Paul_012 (talk) 14:30, 20 October 2017 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2017-10-20T14:30:00.000Z","author":"Paul 012","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Paul_012-2017-10-20T14:30:00.000Z-DatBot_NonFreeImageResizer_producing_horrible_image_quality","replies":[],"displayName":"Paul_012"}}-->

It isn't great, but it isn't *too* horrible that it's unreadable. I'll look into the settings. Dat Guy^Talk_Contribs

The article Dominica at the 2016 Summer Olympics you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Dominica at the 2016 Summer Olympics for things which need to be addressed.

Hi, I've lately found that the DatBot NonFreeImageResizer makes quite a few screenshots (Mostly from older software without ClearType text) look horrible, and makes the text in those screenshots completely unreadable. See File:ViolaWWW.png and the older versions of File:Microsoft Internet Mail and News screenshot.png File:Windows Write.png File:EComStation.png. Could you perhaps look into this problem?

Thanks in advance!
