The article Edwin Flack you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Edwin Flack for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can nominate it to appear in Did you know.

On 5 May 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Edwin Flack, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that when a spectator tried to help Australia's first Olympian Edwin Flack after he collapsed during the 1896 marathon event, the athlete punched him to the ground? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Edwin Flack. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Edwin Flack), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hello, I am very sorry to report that Ronhjones passed away with his wife in a house fire last April. Since your user talk page came up among the ones he most edited with non-automated messages per his edit count, I thought I should let you know.

Can you please disable your bot from revising File:The World of Harry Potter 4 Pack.jpg. The file is making only a 5KB of difference from 65 to 60KB and makes the text very hard to read as the result. --Osh33m (talk) 01:33, 7 May 2020 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2020-05-07T01:33:00.000Z","author":"Osh33m","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Osh33m-2020-05-07T01:33:00.000Z-File:The_World_of_Harry_Potter_4_Pack.jpg","replies":["c-Jonteemil-2020-05-07T04:34:00.000Z-Osh33m-2020-05-07T01:33:00.000Z"]}}-->

- @Jonteemil: Understood but resizing the dimensions of the original image makes the text very hard to read. The image has cover arts for four different video games and after the resize, the text on the image is too small to read, and the individual cover arts are harder to distinguish. The image should be left as is. --Osh33m (talk) 13:41, 7 May 2020 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2020-05-07T13:41:00.000Z","author":"Osh33m","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Osh33m-2020-05-07T13:41:00.000Z-Jonteemil-2020-05-07T04:34:00.000Z","replies":["c-Jonteemil-2020-05-07T14:49:00.000Z-Osh33m-2020-05-07T13:41:00.000Z"]}}-->

- @Jonteemil: As far as the law is concerned though, copyright was attributed to Warner Brothers when the image was uploaded. There are other copyright images with dimensions bigger or as big as this image. It's not a matter of people getting annoyed, it's a matter of defeating the purpose of having the image there. From what I can tell, using the image in its original dimensions is fair use. --Osh33m (talk) 15:49, 7 May 2020 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2020-05-07T15:49:00.000Z","author":"Osh33m","type":"comment","level":5,"id":"c-Osh33m-2020-05-07T15:49:00.000Z-Jonteemil-2020-05-07T14:49:00.000Z","replies":["c-Jonteemil-2020-05-07T16:19:00.000Z-Osh33m-2020-05-07T15:49:00.000Z"]}}-->

- Hi @Jonteemil: No I did not forget that, I already told you why. There are other copyrighted images with dimensions bigger or as big as that image that don't go through resizing changes.

Hi DatGuy, I made revisions and additions to Academy of the New Church Secondary Schools, after which I felt removal of Advert tag will be valid. Please review and let me know if you agree.

Hi, earlier today DatBot reported an IP for triggering 906. Is the filter bad enough that a single violation routinely warrants a block? I just can't envision behaviour that would warrant a block after just one edit or attempted edit, except for stuff that's truly awful, and distinguishing between truly awful content and something innocent would require a human, I expect. Please note that I can't view the filter itself; as an admin I've got access, but I'm on my fewer-rights public computer sock account right now.

PS, is it possible to reprogram DatBot so it doesn't report someone twice in short succession? I removed the linked report at 23:37 today, and because the IP made another violation, the bot made another report at 23:44. I'd be inclined to think that it shouldn't do this: if a report has been removed and the user hasn't been blocked, the report was likely a bad idea, and the bot probably shouldn't repeat a report that wasn't good in the first place. Thanks!

- 906 was added when that vandal was going many times per day. Now they've mostly gone quiet, certainly not enough to warrant the bot reporting, so Ive removed it.
