[edit] Adding the LGBT template

Hello SatyrTN and your friendly bot! Could you change your bot to add the LGBT template as {{LGBTProject|class=}} instead of {{LGBTProject}}? That would make adding the class easier for us here human types. Thanks! --Tiger MarcROAR! 02:42, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry. Now, I see it wasn't your bot at all! I was looking at Talk:Bialogue. Another Wikipedian undid your classification as Stub. You may ignore this request. Thanks! --Tiger MarcROAR! 03:19, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jean-Yves Thibaudet

Jean-Yves Thibaudet was added into the WikiProject LGBT studies by this bot. FYI, I'm removing this classification as the important thing about Jean-Yves Thibaudet is that he is a pianist and I'd rather see his article improved by pianists than flamboyant homosexuals who just fill the article with details about his clothing... (Consider this self irony, I'm gay myself.)--Wormsie 17:36, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, I just noticed that an article can belong to more than one WikiProject. :-) I'll let it stay then. --Wormsie 17:49, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Desiree

I looked her up - apparently it was a one-off. She's currently married to a man, and I couldn't find anything saying she was bisexual, so I removed the tag. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 23:07, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Hmph. Imagine people defying categorization! The nerve... :) -- SatyrBot 23:08, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Victor Salva

I thought I should bring it to your attention that this bot tagged the talk page of Victor Salva with the LGBT template. Salva is a film director who is a convicted child molester. You might want to make some changes to your bot to avoid this in the future.--Jersey Devil 08:40, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

He's listed in the category Category:LGBT actors from the United States, which qualifies him for the WikiProject. His being a convicted child molester doesn't disqualify him, though. Thanks for the comment! -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 15:29, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gender issues in the British theatre and music hall

Hi there, I noticed the recent addition of your bots LGBT banner to two 19th/early 20th century music hall performers. I also noticed that both had been categorised Transgender and transsexual people (Vesta Tilley and Hetty King). There is a long tradition in the British theatre of actors transcending gender stereotypes - one of the reasons for this is that the performer is given greater latitude for parody and satire with the audience (a parallel is that of a performer playing drunk). This cross dressing tradition applies equally to males and females, with females usually performing more 'serious roles' and males tending more to pastiche.

There appears to be a conflation of the roles these actors played and their sexual orientation (maybe someone read Tipping the Velvet too often). That, I think would have the danger of reducing the focus of your project. There is an issue for exploration here - why is it acceptable to UK audiences (including children), and a niche cabaret act in the states; why does the audience give the character greater latitude? But ultimately, playing Coriolanus, doesn't make me a serial killer.

[edit] arbitrary removal of "pederasty in ancient Greece" category

Hi. It has not been easy keeping up with human vandals, dealing with a bot is beyond my abilities. Can you please deal with this, reverse all the deletions, or substantiate them? If you respond, please do so on my talk page, so I can see it. Thanks, Haiduc 18:43, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

The latest one (or the one I most recently noticed) is in Aeschines, one of the most important articles in the history of Greek pederasty. There have been others, but I was too frazzled at the time to deal with them, so I would ask you to restore all the pederasty category tags, and if there is any question about any of them to let me know. There could not be that many more people building up that category, and everything I tagged is verifiable. Haiduc 20:55, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the help. This has actually been very useful. I added documentation on Parmenides and Aeschines. The same for Tsunayoshi Tokugawa, where I replaced the old category with Category:Shudo, the new one for the Japanese entries. Curzon I had already restored - he is mentioned in the intro as Oscar Browning's favorite. I am glad you are going over all these articles, if you notice any other unsupported tags please let me know. Haiduc 23:51, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] USA Perpignan

Your bot has just added the Wikiproject Spain tag to this article. However Perpignan is in France not Spain. I don't if it is possible to refine your bot, but the Northern part of Catalonia is in France and this kind of error is likely to reoccur.GordyB 14:53, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks - I'll check with WikiProject Spain to see what they want to do about that issue. -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 17:44, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Knights of the Golden Fleece

Your bot tagged all articles in this category as belonging to the Spain Wikiproject. Could you undo this? Many of the category members should probably not be assigned to the Spain project, like William II, German Emperor. Thank you, Kusma (討論) 08:29, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Same with British monarchs Astrotrain 09:01, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
  • I have removed your tag from Bloodless bullfighting as your tag was inaccurate. MikeHobday 10:22, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Talk:Eberhard I, Duke of Württemberg

Your last bot edit was reverted. I don´t really know why, because your stub made sense to me.--Tresckow 18:35, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know! I think Wikipedia:WikiProject Spain has it under advisement. -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 05:03, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Automated message to bot owners

As a result of discussion on the village pump and mailing list, bots are now allowed to edit up to 15 times per minute. The following is the new text regarding bot edit rates from Wikipedia:Bot Policy:

Until new bots are accepted they should wait 30-60 seconds between edits, so as to not clog the recent changes list and user watchlists. After being accepted and a bureaucrat has marked them as a bot, they can edit at a much faster pace. Bots doing non-urgent tasks should edit approximately once every ten seconds, while bots who would benefit from faster editing may edit approximately once every every four seconds.

Also, to eliminate the need to spam the bot talk pages, please add Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard to your watchlist. Future messages which affect bot owners will be posted there. Thank you. --Mets501 04:53, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Charles Rust-Tierney

Why did you add the LGBTProject category to Charles Rust-Tierney? Harksaw 12:51, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Barnstar of National Merit-Spain
Barnstar of National Merit-Spain

The Most High Grand Magnificent and Glorious Barnstar of National Merit-Spain is hereby awarded to SatyrBot for service above and beyond the call of duty, for an excellent inaugural effort by a bot, and for only need an extra shot of WD-40 to keep on keeping on! ¡Muchas gracias!

LOL! Thanks so much! :) Let me know if I or the bot can provide any further assistance! -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 22:16, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Frederic Prokosch

Hello. I notice you removed Prokosch from the Gay Writer's category in the Frederic Prokosch article. Prokosch was definitely gay, and it's common knowledge that he was gay. However, he lived in a time when people weren't openly gay. It is necessary to remove him from the category? Griot 18:32, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
