I created a user page but it got speedy deleted. What should I put on my user page? The one that got deleted was like an ad about myself. What is the purpose of the user page? --Toolman97130 (talk) 11:14, 15 June 2024 (
Hello Marchjuly, I saw you put a warning on I Think I album cover about reducing the image with a smaller version. Actually, this is the first time I tried to upload a non-free image for an album cover. Could you explain to me what I should do next? I am worried about copyrights and all. Should I just delete the original file immediately and try to upload with lower resolution or wait for the bot? Thanks! Ghazlan-airplanes (talk) 04:33, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Ghazlan-airplanes: You don't need to do anything. There are WP:BOTs that look for such images, tag them and then other bots resize them accordingly, I just sped things up a bit. If you want to resize the image yourself, however, you can. For reference, this is related to WP:IMAGERES and generally 250px by 400px is what bots resize album covers to. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:04, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Marchjuly: I wanted to learn how to do it myself so that I know how to do this in the future. Regarding the "Summary (author, source, URL, fair use rationale if applicable, extra tags , etc.)", should I copy the credentials from the original file and would a 300x300 dimension satisfy the Non-free content's fair use?

It's hard to tell how big is too big for the bots that reduce such files. You might want to ask about that at WT:NFCC. You don't need to reupload a smaller version of the same cover art; in fact, doing might just create confusion and extra things to clean up. You can just scroll to the bottom of the file's page and click "Upload a new version of this file". You won't need to change anything in the non-free use rationale as long as none of the information in the rationale changes. There are probably a number of ways to reduce the size of a file. I'm not sure how the bots do it. You could try asking someone running one of the bots that do that kind of thing (for example, User:DatBot). You could also try asking at WP:VP/T or WP:GL. -- Marchjuly (talk) 11:24, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The bot reduce the file from 500 by 500 to 316 by 316, for reference. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:14, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
From now I'll reduce it to 316 by 316. Could you check the pictures I uploaded at One More Time (Otra Vez) and Sensory Flows (it's on the repackage album section in the infobox) and check if those have appropriate rationale? Thanks again Ghazlan-airplanes (talk) 02:40, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The {{Non-free use rationale album cover}} has a prarameter called |type= that you can set at |type=single to indicate that the file is for a "single" instead of an "album". I think you can also set the parameter to "EP" or other things as well. -- Marchjuly (talk) 03:59, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
