Bot Praise

Hi,

Just wanted to say DatBot is far, far better at editing WP:AIV than I could ever hope to be.

Many thanks for all the edits it has saved me from needing to make. :) A F K When Needed 07:50, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Shao Yihui

Hello, DatGuy. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Shao Yihui".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 23:22, 15 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Resizing SVGs

Hi. I noticed DatBot resized a non-free SVG I uploaded. I was wondering what the point of that is, since as long as it's a valid SVG, you can render it in any size? The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 21:44, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@The Squirrel Conspiracy: the software displays a raster image where SVGs are not supported, using the size of the image. DatGuy^Talk_Contribs 12:35, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
