Just so you know, I've had DatBot automatically reduce the size of the picture because its original size failed the non-free content criteria. In the future you can do this yourself in one of three ways.

1. Open the "Edit source" window and put the text {{non-free reduce}} at the very top. The bot will automatically reduce the picture's size within 24 hours.

2. If you have Twinkle enabled, go to the tab near the search bar labeled "TW", then select "tag" from the menu that appears. The second choice, the text I mentioned above, is the one you want to select. Click "Submit Query", and Twinkle will do the rest.

3. You can shrink the image yourself in an image-editjng program before uploading it.

Note that both of the first two methods methods (which I'm partial to) have the same result (placing a banner on the page which automatically summons the bot to shrink the image), only different ways of getting there. Let me know if you have any questions.

Hey, thanks. I just realized the rule after uploadig the inage but when I saw the 24-hour thing I decided might as well let the bot do it. Juxlos (talk) 09:20, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

category creation

Please https://en.wikipedia.org/Category:Universities_in_Bangka_Belitung_Islands - needs a category or two, and also project tags

When creating new items, please go to the trouble to learn how to add categories - and project tags - thanks JarrahTree 03:01, 17 November 2017 (UTC)

English wikipedia

Takes WP:N, WP:V - WP:RS very seriously - when adding material it must have those components - thanks JarrahTree 08:16, 17 November 2017 (UTC)

Uh-huh Juxlos (talk) 08:22, 17 November 2017 (UTC)

many editors in the past have thought adding lists of things is what wikipedia is WP:ABOUT however it is WP:NOT..

https://en.wikipedia.org/Donggala_Regency is a very good recent example...

your edits are much appreciated - just leaving a few clues how to steer through the mess of the Indonesian project - thanks again JarrahTree 08:34, 17 November 2017 (UTC)

I’ve seen all the blogpost links, yes. I try to get comparatively reliable sources cited like Jakarta Post, Tempo or Kompas but well sometimes a regional Tribun is all I’ve got. Juxlos (talk) 08:38, 17 November 2017 (UTC)

No problems - any improving the content of the project area is always appreciated ! JarrahTree 08:41, 17 November 2017 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Logo utu.png

Thanks for uploading File:Logo utu.png. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Misplaced Pages uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Misplaced Pages. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Misplaced Pages:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 13:30, 30 November 2017 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 29

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited December 2017 Kabul suicide bombing, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bloomberg (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
