Your bot recently fixed some errors in Lydia Sigourney -- Published works. This page has been there a long time; I appreciate that-- I was unaware of the spelling errors and thought my list correct. Checked some library catalogs and the bot got it right. Just wanted to say thanks. --Matthew K 16:51, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Bot for Mac!?!?
Hi, Commander! I was wondering about your bot CmdrObot - the page says it's a Mac program. Can you give me some more info? Is it OpenSource? How much Python do I need to know to run it? Anything more than "zero" might be a problem, though I'm proficient in Perl and PHP, so maybe I won't have too much trouble... Anyway, any help you can give would be appreciated. -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 03:07, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
- Hi there. I'm afraid my bot isn't open source, and at the moment it isn't really fit for general consumption: it's got a fairly annoying memory leak, its error handling is a bit lacking, and the user interface could most kindly be described as 'minimal'. I keep meaning to clean it up and make a proper release of it, but other things keep getting in the way. Sorry! Cmdrjameson 15:31, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

You placed a cleanup tag on the above article. I have now wikified (as far as possible, it needs references/citations) said article, and if you want to review it and remove (or replace with wikify template) the tag then please do. Cheers.LessHeard vanU 01:15, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Greetings, fellow bot operator
I see that you are listed as a fellow bot operator. I have been regorganising the wikipedia bot help pages to try and provide more information for those who want to learn how to create a bot or have quesitons relating to how to run a bot on wikipedia (more nuts-and-bolts than the existing policy page, which deals with what you are allowed to do, not how you would go about doing it). I've made a start at Wikipedia:Creating_a_bot but could do with any feedback at all. I could do with any programming-language specific information that you can provide as well as any suggestions for improving the article. I'm leaving this same message with 5 other bot operators, to encourage them to pass on the knowledge we have learned developing our bots to the "next generation" of wikipedia bot-builders!
