Reduce size of File:Dekemvriana_1944_SYNTAGMA.jpg

The resolution reduction of File:Dekemvriana_1944_SYNTAGMA.jpg on 27 April 2017 makes it very hard to distinguish uniforms and people (not) holding guns. Please restore to prior size - (if I remember correctly) the image was already low quality scan from paper. Thanks, Sperxios (talk) 12:55, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

Added my comment at Wikipedia:Files_for_discussion/2017_November_6#File:Dekemvriana_1944_SYNTAGMA.jpg, as DatGuy cannot revert. Ronhjones  (Talk) 21:32, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

Did bot crash?

I know DatBot6 starts at 10pm, so I've been trying to tag before then (not as easy as when we were BST and it was 11pm, now we're back to GMT=UTC and it's now 10pm here). So there were plenty of files, but it only ran 27min. RonBot1 died as well at 5sm, but totally unrelated, c'ést la vie. Ronhjones  (Talk) 14:40, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

Honestly, DatBot is crashing a lot. I'll add a try: except: statement. Dat GuyTalkContribs 16:09, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
@Ronhjones: Actually, I'll just fully rewrite the code using more updated libraries. Could you try to move some files to test2wiki? Dat GuyTalkContribs 08:17, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
https://test2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Upload says "NO MORE UPLOADS". So I made https://test2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Non-free_reduce and stuck it on a few old images already on the test wiki - see https://test2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedia_non-free_file_size_reduction_requests.

See you are still struggling with bot (I saw a zero byte upload on the test wiki!). I've stopped tagging files every day (so the category does not get ridiculously full), I've enable Theo again (it will do some random number of files every day), and I'm running the bot code on my PC in semi-auto mode (I have to press return between each upload - otherwise it becomes a non-approved bot!), when I'm at the PC. If there's anything else I can do, let me know. Ronhjones  (Talk) 16:30, 14 November 2017 (UTC)
I'm having some issues offwiki. Dat GuyTalkContribs 16:34, 14 November 2017 (UTC)
