The guidelines suggest images not larger than 100KB. Your bot has reduced the portrait from 110KB to 18KB which I feel is an excessive reduction.

Hi, the bot just tagged File talk:JOSS 1000x1000.png, but that file is hosted on Commons, not here. I was under the impression that files on commons should not have talk pages here, or am I mistaken? --Randykitty (talk) 05:42, 10 August 2018 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2018-08-10T05:42:00.000Z","author":"Randykitty","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Randykitty-2018-08-10T05:42:00.000Z-File_tagging","replies":[]}}-->
Not well? Stalled 2 nights running after 2 minutes.

Bots Newsletter, August 2018
Greetings!
Here is the 6th issue of the Bots Newsletter. You can subscribe/unsubscribe from future newsletters by adding/removing your name from this list.
Highlights for this newsletter include:
ARBCOM
Nothing particular important happened. Those who care already know, those who don't know wouldn't care. The curious can dig ARBCOM archives themselves.
BAG
There were no changes in BAG membership since the last Bots Newsletter. Headbomb went from semi-active to active.
In the last 3 months, only 3 BAG members have closed requests - help is needed with the backlog.
{{Automated tools}}, a new template linking to user-activated tools and scripts has been created. It can be used in articles previews, and can be placed on any non-mainspace page/template (e.g. {{Draft article}}) to provide convenient links to editors.
AWB 5.10.0.0 is out, after nearly 20 months without updates. If you run an old version, you will be prompted to install the new version automatically. See the changelog for what's new. Note that the next version will require .NET Framework 4.5. Many thanks to Reedy and the AWB team.
BotWatch, "a listing of editors that have made >2 edits per minute [without] a bot flag", is being developed by SQL (see discussion).

DatGuy, the article was tagged for having a problematic lead section, which usually puts a nomination on hold until the lead has been updated. While checking, I noticed that the phrasing in certain places in the article is identical to the olympics.com page on Louis, phrasing that it turns out has been in the article since it was created in June 2004. (It's hard to tell which way the copying might have gone, which is why I've pinged one of Wikipedia's experts in copyright.) I wanted to let you know that this was happening right away. Best of luck.
