Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:20, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

Can you give me a hint which RFC?
And what particular thing caused you to revert my edit out of hand? GliderMaven (talk) 22:45, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
- This one: RfC on the word "myth" usage with the Genesis flood, as well as the previous section. Your edit seemed to go against WP:NPOV and did not seem relevant to the article; it would have been better suited for the Noah or Genesis flood narrative articles. Sorry for not being more clear earlier; I'm sure that must've been frustrating. Cheers,
- --Chumash11 (talk) 17:32, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
- No. I'm still utterly baffled by your revert. So far as I can see it has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the RFC, my edit doesn't contain or imply the word 'myth'. And to write the edit, I simply paraphrased the account in the King James bible, and added the reasons given there for God creating a flood. Exactly which bit of my edit fails NPOV???
