[edit] All Your Ears Can Hear Graphic

Hope I'm doing this right. I chatted with Jason Flower last night and he gave me the OK to put the graphic on a Wiki. If the graphic is to be deleted, perhaps you should speak with Mr. Flower in regards to it, WHO I HAVE PERMISSION FROM?!? What I don't get, if I have the OK from someone to use their graphic am I breaking any law? Thanks.

Please see WP:TAG --Android Mouse 01:37, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Nod, I have send Jason Flower E-Mail, but I'm finished with the article, not worth getting mad over. Gr1phOTR 01:50, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Who's angry? --Android Mouse 02:56, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

I still don't get it, why won't you display the graphic, even know I have permission to use this graphic?!? And give me a break over copyright, I have permission to use it. I even stated this when I was uploading the image, so why is it you cannot read that?!? This is a form of press, is it not?

I think you are misunderstanding what has happened. Please reread the message the bot left you and the link I posted above. --Android Mouse 03:08, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

I read that link, still have you people recieved a complaint from the original copyright holder?!?

Have you read the bot message? --Android Mouse 03:15, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

I actually did, but I stated in the upload that I have permission to use the image only for use on Wikipedia (or something like that), it seems you never read this tag but blindly had the image deleted. In any case, it seems pointless to upload an image cause I can't think now. Thanks!

I had no part of the deletion of either images. --Android Mouse 03:49, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

To me it seems like an automatic thing. If the user doesn't give the proper flag, you have b0ts purging images. This makes sense cause Wikipedia is so huge and there's no way Wikipedia can filter all content. It's interesting, pity I won't be contributing much after this mess.

Nope all images are deleted manually by an admin. A bot didn't tag your image either. --Android Mouse 16:41, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Then the admin should of seen the tag, but he didn't, so this means that it's an automated process (either that or you need to fix your app). If I stated I have permission to use the graphic, why didn't the admin see this?!? Course, I've uploaded said graphic to other places, and there using it with no issue.

Once again it isn't an automated process. My bot doesn't need fixing as it did what it was intended to do-- notify you and nothing else. The admin that deleted the image saw the tag, and saw that you had not read the message as you had specified the image as for non-commercial use only, or for educational use only or for use on Wikipedia by permission. --Android Mouse 19:41, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Joseph Kallas Deletion

Joseph Kallas is the Archbishop of Beirut for the Creek Catholic church. I did find several pages for other Archbishops on wikipedia.

[edit] John C Wolfe

John C wolfe was quite wrongfully deleted. If you would look at it again, I would think you would see not only the validity in ESPN Ford Dodge and combonation of interests and accomplishments with Wolfe. Please let me know your decsion and why. espn@gowolfe.com

There appears to be a misunderstanding, I didn't nominated the article for deletion and didn't delete it. Please reread the bot message. --Android Mouse 04:37, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] There's been a mistake

I deleted my own comment under my user name pruiz. I don't see how that is vandalism...--71.194.128.49 03:00, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, it looked like you were removing someone elses comment since you weren't logged in. Feel free to revert my edit to that talk page, although please login this time. Regards. --Android Mouse 03:07, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Raza Academy Deletion

You should have given me time to Improve and Edit this Article before Speedy deletion .i wanted to Edit it where ever it should be improved according to Policy of WIKI. Shabiha 11:02, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Please reread the bot message. Thanks --Android Mouse 19:32, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Question

Hey Android Mouse, I have a quick question. When you have time, can you give me a brief run through on what you put into cmd.exe or whatever you use to launch your bot when you use C#? Also, could you take some screen shots too please :-)? I'm trying to learn how to get C# bots to launch. I can do it with python, but I can't seem to do it with C#... thanks! ~ Wikihermit 18:08, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I don't know a thing about C#. I write all my bots in C. I could help you with C if you'd like. --Android Mouse 19:32, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
Okay. Well what do you do with C then to launch your bots? ~ Wikihermit 19:42, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
First compile it, then run from the command line. Note that my bots are written using *nix sockets, to run on Windows it would need to be converted to use winsock, which wouldn't be too difficult. Here is an example of the commands to compile and run, assuming you have gcc installed:
~$ cd /home/bots/android_mouse_bot
/home/bots/android_mouse_bot$ gcc main.c -o main
/home/bots/android_mouse_bot$ ./main
loading articles...
bot output would be printed here...
done
/home/bots/android_mouse_bot$
Sorry, but I have another question :-). Is there a framework that you know of for C? ~ Wikihermit 22:30, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
I'm not sure what you mean. But there are many standard libraries that can help out. The C standard library being the most common and general. --Android Mouse 22:40, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
There's the dotnetwikibot frame for C#. ~ Wikihermit 22:55, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
Unfortunately, I don't think there is any similar framework for C, at least not that I'm aware of. But it's really not that much work since the MediaWiki Query Interface makes things fairly simple to manipulate and query. --Android Mouse 23:01, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chris Otten Deletion

Hi, Could I get a full explanation as to why the entry for Chris Otten was deleted? This was a mayoral candidate in the general election for Washington, D.C. Clearly this is a "notable" individual. PeteinDC 01:57, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure, I didn't delete it. You can find more information on what to do next at the link in the message the bot left you. --Android Mouse 03:39, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Very good idea

This bot is great. MadMaxDog 06:03, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, your support is appreciated! Although I can't take credit for any of the bot ideas, I've only created them due to bot requests. --Android Mouse 06:57, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] My page deleted??

I recently worte a page on wikipedia describing a software company that sold a certain software that was mentioned on another page but did not have a page of its own. The wiki page was written as an unbiased point of view which did not include advertisment of any kind. I can not see why my page was speedly deleted , let alone deleted at all.

See the page's deletion log and possibly talk to the admin that deleted it. Thanks. --Android Mouse 22:41, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kate Maberly

i agree for the delition of the picture than. Thedeadmanandphenom 18:04, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Ok, then there is nothing more that you need to do. An admin will delete it shortly. --Android Mouse 22:44, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Life and adventures of four friends 1 (film)

The speedy deletion of this page is contested. Reason: popular family movie since the 1980s, this is a prequel to Life and adventures of four friends 2 (film). This movie is very funny and popular among children and families of two generations in the former Soviet Union, as well as among those across the world who saw it in their childhood, who emigrated, and anyone who even do not need to understand Russian. We are currently working on providing images of tricks performed by three dogs and cat from this movie for Wikipedia. Cover images from the DVD and VHS are available on several Russian, Lithuanian and other movie sites in the former Soviet Union. We are calling for patience, until this article eventually becomes a better representation of what dogs and cat performed in front of the cameras in that movie. Cooperation of all Wikipedians is highly appreciated. Steveshelokhonov 20:27, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your contributions to Wikiepdia. Although please be aware that I didn't nominate the article. --Android Mouse 22:43, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Anchor Link Bot

I don't really have any objection, but is this really necessary? I'm not sure I'm understanding the point of these notes. -- Ned Scott 01:51, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Please see WP:MOS#Section management. It is used to avoid broken links. --Android Mouse 02:03, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
Oooh. Ok, that does make sense. -- Ned Scott 19:53, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bingy Bunny

I am new to this so please bear with me.

My impetus for adding the article on Bingy Bunny was a function of the difficulties I encountered obtaining this information (for my own needs) after extensive Internet searches.

The challenges I ecountered include the following:

Alternate spellings of his nickname (an endemic problem in Jamaica)
Multiple dates cited for his birth
Two (2) dates cited for his death (actually, a 48 hour window -- Dec 31 and Jan 1)

Granted, his relative obscurity outside of Jamaica and the world of reggae music will likely fail to meet the level of importance demanded by the editors of wikipedia.org.

To me, however, he is a member of a select few Jamaican musicians to have participated during the birth of reggae music. Due to an unparalled high mortality rate within this group, an astonishingly high number have departed prematurely. [Fortunately, he witnessed how reggae expanded from its humble birth on his tiny island as it rapidly evolved into a highly influential musical style across the globe.]

In any case, would you please help me understand specifically why the automated bot marked it for deletion?

Secondly, how might I avoid this problem in the future so that I might refrain from investing the time to create an entry that will likely share a similar fate?

Thirdly, is there an archive of this page so that I might access its original contents as I didn't realize at the time that I might need to save a personal copy?

Thanks in advance,

Heidi

HeidiW 02:33, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Hello Heidi, and welcome to Wikipedia. Sorry your start out here ended up like this. Although there appears to be a misunderstanding-- my bot didn't mark your article for deletion. According to the message it left on your talk page, User:Tdmg marked it for deletion and according to the page's deletion log [1], User:Isotope23 deleted it. To avoid any future articles you create being deleted please see WP:CREATE which contains tips and instructions on what todo and what not to do when writing your first article. Luckily, when a page is deleted here at Wikipedia the text is not lost. If you talk to an admin, such as the one who deleted your article, they may be able to get the deleted article text for you. If you have any other questions feel free to ask. --Android Mouse 02:40, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia tag parameter project

Sorry to repeat myself here, but I'm a little paranoid over whether my message several sections above was received, given the amount of traffic your talk page gets. I'm requesting that "phase two" (applying the parameter) be rolled out -- at your leisure. (Please don't interpret this repeated message as urgency; I'm just satisfying my own paranoia.) --Father Goose 08:38, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Looks like I didn't see your message, thanks for telling me. I'll go ahead and get to work writing the bot tomorrow and hopefully get it done within a few days. --Android Mouse 05:51, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
Great! Thanks again.--Father Goose 07:40, 11 July 2007 (UTC)


hey cwhy are you trying to dictate the wikipedia website.... How dare you not allow freedom of speech... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Roddyroo (talk • contribs) 18:36, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Anchor Link Bot - comments/suggestions

My first reaction on seeing the work of this bot was "Huh? So what?". So I came and read this talk page.

Half an hour later I thought, "Well, that's a half hour of my life I'll never get back. Why doesn't he just add 'See WP:MOS#Section management' to both the edit description and the comment?"

Given the seemingly endless number of times you have been asked the same question on your talk page, and the number of times it has been suggested that you do something about it (all pretty good suggestions too, I might add), why haven't you done something?

I think it might be better to put a link in the edit summary to avoid clutter in the article. What do you think? I think the comment already clutters up the article - I don't think adding 'See WP:MOS#Section management' will make it any worse.

Also, there are quite a number of articles on my watchlist which reference sections in other articles on my watchlist. Why is it that your anchor bot has only found one of them?

Also, why redirect to Android Mouse? The Android Mouse page contains a lot of text, and most of it is irrelevant to Anchor Link. Had the link taken me to an Anchor Link page that had a description at the top, it would have saved me 29.5 minutes of reading & filtering, and 15+ minutes of typing.

If this bot malfunctions please alert me on my talk page, not the bot's, that way I will be alerted more quickly. If you have the bot's talk page on your watchlist, you'll be alerted at much the same time, won't you?

Cheers, Pdfpdf 14:46, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

I don't understand. If you read, "If this bot malfunctions please alert me on my talk page, not the bot's, that way I will be alerted more quickly," which is on the bot's user page then how did you not see:
"This bot scans and finds internal links that use anchors, ex Foo#Bar. From there it checks if the section 'Bar' on the article 'Foo' has comment that another article links directly to that section. If not it will add that comment. See WP:MOS#Section_management for more details."
which contains a link to the MOS? --Android Mouse 18:57, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Oh dear! That will teach me to ask four questions in the one posting. No wonder you don't understand. Lets break it up a bit, then hopefully it will be clearer.

1) Although very useful, the edits your bot does, and the edit explanation, are, at best, cryptic and obscure. Adding "See WP:MOS#Section management" to both the edit description and the comment would make things considerably less cryptic.

2) It took me quite a while to work out what was going on. This was an unecessary waste of my time, and of all the other people who are puzzled by the bot's edits.

3) I'm not the first person to make such a comment on your talk page. These people have made many good suggestions on how to make things clearer. Yet, (at the time I wrote the above), you were yet to have implemented any of them.

4) I think putting the comment "See WP:MOS ... " in both places is the best idea.

5) Why has the bot found only one instance of the many on the pages on my watch list?

6) Why redirect to this page? OK. I guess I understand that, but having comments about three or four different bots, and other things, all on the one page is, at best, a little confusing for someone who is already confused about a cryptic edit, and doesn't yet realise that they're not on the bot's talk page.

I don't understand.

Which bit don't you understand?

If you read ... which is on the bot's user page then how did you not see ... which contains a link to the MOS?

I'm afraid I don't understand what you're trying to communicate here.
Yes, I read those things, eventually, after having spent half an hour reading the talk page, but I don't understand the significance of your question.
I'm guessing here - are you saying (much more politely than the following sentence), "You found the link to the MOS section on the bot's user page. What are you complaining about?".
If so, what I'm complaining about is that I shouldn't have needed to go there; it should have been clear from the edit and the edit description what was going on.
If not, then I don't understand.

The aim of me going to the effort of writing here is to be helpful, not to be critical, agressive or unpleasant. Unfortunately, I expect my tone might sound somewhat unfriendly; let me assure you that is not my intention. Pdfpdf 01:53, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your clarifications.
1) Due to your further explanation and the comments from others, I will have it add the link to the MOS in both the comment and the edit summary, once I get around to starting the bot up again.
5) The bot still has thousands more articles to edit. As of this writing it hasn't even scanned a 5th of the database of articles I've downloaded. It should get to them... eventually.
6) I generally ignore the orange box that pops up about having a new message, until I'm finished with reading/editing/doing whatever I was in the process of doing. If I had discussions going on 4 or so talk pages for each of my bots and ignored the box like I most always do, I later wouldn't be able to determine where the message was left without having to check every single one of the talk pages. Basically I do this for convenience purposes. If you think the burden of confusion it puts on other users is too much, I can remove the redirects.
Yes, I read those things, eventually, after having spent half an hour reading the talk page, but I don't understand the significance of your question.
That'd be the source of miscommunication. I had assumed you had checked the bot's user page first, were unable to figure out what the bot was doing and then moved on to the talk page.
Anyways, thanks again for your comments. Apologies for your inconvenience. --Android Mouse 02:15, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

I've noticed some of the other edits since I first wrote. Perhaps you could add a box to the top of this page saying "For more information on the Anchor Link Bot, see the bot's user page."? Pdfpdf 02:08, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I'll create a notification at the top. --Android Mouse 02:26, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I Thought This Your Bot Only Notifies Users Whom The CSD Taggers Forgot To Notify

Because a few times today it's contacted article creators, after I've notified them. -WarthogDemon 00:01, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

It's not supposed to. Can you provide links to all the times you've seen this happen? Thanks --Android Mouse 00:04, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
I think I imagined the previous ones but I'll keep an eye out. Actually maybe it's not malfunctioning. I thought it did that just a few minutes ago but now I realized it's because the page in question was moved under a different name. Sorry for the confusion. ^_^; I was referring to [2] in case it still shouldn't have done that. -WarthogDemon 00:08, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
No problem. Thanks anyways though, if you do end up finding any duplicate taggings, don't hesitate to tell me. --Android Mouse 00:11, 15 July 2007 (UTC)


[edit] John Bonham

Nothing much to say, but I somehow find our two AGF reverts to be amusing. (That, and seeing one vandal-fighter revert another known vandal-fighter was a bit odd to see.) --健次(derumi)talk 03:49, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

At first I thought it was clear vandalism with that large removal of text, but some of the other edits that ip made led me to think it wasn't vandalism. If you still think it is, feel free to revert me again, I'm still rather unsure of the intent of the ip. --Android Mouse 03:54, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
I thought it might be because of the removal of the text regarding Bonham's influence on drum kits. On second look, the anonIP might just think that wasn't notable enough for the article — the other edits did seem to be constructive. If it needs to be there, some other editor that knows better will surely add it back in. :) --健次(derumi)talk 03:57, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
Ok. Sounds good. --Android Mouse 04:05, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] PassAlong Networks

The situation has been handled according to Wikipedia guidelines

How do I get the "deletion nomiation" on PassAlong Networks removed?

thanks for your help! (and i will add to my watchlist)

          Sxfranklin 06:03, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
I'd recommend you talk to the one who nominated the article for speedy deletion, User:Spellcast, and explain why you feel the article isn't spam and how you are working to improve it, also add this explanation to the article's talk page. Besides that, there isn't much more you really need to do. The speedy tag places the article in the Category:Candidates for speedy deletion which means an admin will eventually review it and determine wether or not to delete it, if they do not decide to delete it they will remove the speedy deletion tag on the article. --Android Mouse 06:12, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Of notices and redirects....

Hey, noticed this today.. [3]. The notice will likely never be read, either b/c the user is under a new acct now, or, because the redir hides it... Bot should probably follow redirects.... :)

[edit] Mouse bot2 Error

I feel that your bot made an error in allowing my page Cordova cheerleader squad to be deleted. If you could explain to me why it was flagged, unflagged,and deleted I would be quite happy. Thanks for your time.(P.S. Is there any way to restore the page?)

Actually, my bot doesn't flag articles for deletion. It only issues notifications when someone else does. If you feel that the page was mistakenly deleted, please see the article's page log and contact the admin who deleted it, they will be able to restore the page. --Android Mouse 01:22, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Cat dude.jpeg

Hello, I am running into a problem classifing this image. It is an LOLCat image and ownership is near impossible to determine. I have added several different templates to the imagine, but each time it comes back up for deletion, so I am doing something wrong. I am not sure how to classify a LOLCat image. If you could help, I would appericate it. - NeutralHomer T:C 23:34, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Unless you plan to add the image to an article, I don't think your fair use rationale will stand. If you'd like the image to stay, I'd advise you to add it to an article and write up a better (longer) fair use rationale. It probably won't prevent it from being deleted but it might. --Android Mouse 00:50, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
Another admin suggested I find the "author" and I did, amazingly. But, I was too slow and the image got deleted, so I am reloading it (I can use it on the lolcat page) but am not sure which template to use. - NeutralHomer T:C 01:31, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
When you talked to the author what license did they that you could use it as? What they said will depend on the tag you will use. WP:TAG has a list of several. --Android Mouse 02:15, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
I didn't actually talk to the author, but I found the original author on icanhascheezburger.com. On this page you can see the author's "name". I credited that "name" and the page, site, and the CC 3.0 tag of the bottom of each page on icanhascheezburger.com and the image was deleted within an hour, which I found quite rude. - NeutralHomer T:C 02:27, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Page Deleted

Hello Mate,

My page titled Avant Garde Pakistan was deleted on tbe 15 June 2007 citing Copyright Infringement as the reason. The article pertaining to Avant Garde Pakistan was written with the permission and knowledge of Avant Garde Pakistan [www.avantgardepk.com] . If you need any proof, I can ask them to email it to you.

With Regards,

Sas311

Please be aware I didn't delete the page. You might want to talk to the admin who deleted it (see the article's page log) since they will be able to restore it for you. --Android Mouse 13:20, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Anchor link bot suggestion

I just came across this when I was trying to solve a problem on an article page, and I think it might be useful to you.

You can place hidden anchors in articles like this: <span id="anchor_name"></span>

Once that code is in place in "Article," [[Article#anchor_name]] will link to the place where the code resides, even though it isn't a visible section header.

So rather than placing a notice for editors, you could have your bot do one of two things:

  • Place a commented-out anchor with the name of the header, with a notice that if any editor changes the header, they should also uncomment the anchor, so that all links to that header will still work.
  • Or you could place a live anchor right away with the same name.

If you place the anchor just above the section header, links to that anchor will go to the header and look the same as if the link pointed directly to the header.

Take a look — United States Army Basic Training#AIT2 — This links to an anchor called #AIT2, not to a section header.

Hope that's clear enough. Lemme know what you think. Equazcion 06:40, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

I think the solution you propose is too complicated. It doesn't cover the posibility if the section is removed entirely. With the current situation all they would have to do is rename the link and avoid having to understand or use extra markup. --Android Mouse 17:58, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] EL OH FUCKING ELL

According to his answer to question one, he primarily wants to work on more vandal fighting, which is just about always a clear cut case and requires quick snap judgements. You appear to think that being an admin requires extensive knowledge, wisdom and expert descision making. That couldn't be more far from the truth, and you're kidding yourself if you think that's the case.

you just ensured that you're never going to be an admin. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.137.57.73 (talk • contribs)

Truth hurts, huh? :) --Android Mouse 23:12, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
not really, it's fun to watch people shooting themselves in the foot. you don't seem to realise that on wikipedia it's what you say, not what you think, that matters. also you might want to see the oppose votes at [6] for ex. to see a bunch of people who disagree with you.
oh and your argument is pretty much inherently flawed, as the comment before it has you stating that reverting vandalism actually does take thought... which is not the case if it is "just about always a clear cut case" . 86.137.57.73 02:17, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
Reverting vandalism doesn't require much thought, because when it does, it isn't called vandalism. Vandalism is clear-cut, usually intentional damage to an article. If there's a question as to whether an edit should be reverted, then that edit is just someone expressing their opinion about what should be in the article, who might be in disagreement with the majority of the other editors. That's not vandalism. It's just a questionable edit. Although the fact remains that admins will have to deal with questionable edits as well, and that is what would take wisdom etc. to settle. Equazcion 02:30, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
Please explain how I am "shooting myself in the foot" by expressing a (perhaps non-popular) opinion? As for the RFA you linked to, I'm not sure what you're getting to-- I agree with most of what the opposers have said.
I'm also not sure why you believe being a "clear cut case" and requiring some form of thought as being mutally exclusive. I've never felt vandal fighting takes no thought. I've also never felt that it requires expert experience... along with the rest of the duties admins have. --Android Mouse 02:38, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Anchor Link Bot and other anchors

User:Anchor Link Bot is a great function. I was wondering, though, what sort of anchors it recognises. Sometimes anchors can be placed with html tags, rather than section headers. Have a look at how nature abhors a vacuum is set up. The tags I've seen used are "div id", "span id" and "cite id". Also, is it possible to get the bot to run over a category like Category:Middle-earth redirects (specifically Category:Middle-earth redirects to sections and Category:Middle-earth redirects to lists)? Or will the bot eventually find those itself? Carcharoth 11:53, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I'm glad you appreciate the bot. The only anchors it finds is the standard section anchors, not "div id", "span id", etc types. Alghough, I'm not sure what you mean when you refer to the middle-earth redirect categories. --Android Mouse 00:23, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
I thought many of those redirects were to sections, but it appears many are to div id links, so ignore that. I guess I was concerned that people might change the div id tags, but that is probably unlikely. Anyway, Anchor Link Bot should eventually get to some of the Middle-earth stuff, so I look forward to seeing the project watchlist light up! Carcharoth 12:45, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
Oh, ok, thanks for clarifying. Although it may take a while for the bot to start running again since I need to make a few modifications to it before starting it up again. --Android Mouse 23:05, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

I think it is worth noting that your credentials don't mean anything here. I'm not trying to be rude, but that's how it is.

First off, I think you're totally wrong. Credentials DO mean something. The problem with the Essjay controversy is that no one bothered to check. You'll find that mine are quite verifiable.

Second, persons like Fred Hsu are quick to condemn and slow to think outside the pre-prgrammed mantra of mainstream thought. Everything was a 'stacked-deck' response. Even labeling what I wrote 'original' research was bunk. Later, Hsu accidentally admitted that the ideas were present in Richard Dawkin's book.

The real controversy is that the mitochondrial Eve case was mis-presented in 1987 in order to obtain research funding. Some 20 years later, critics (including NOVA) have begun to realize that what was claimed and what was done didn't add up.

Third, the article was deleted before I had a chance to present a case or respond to the criticisms. The article was whittled down to a stub before being nominated for deletion. It's like burning a dead body to hide the evidence. Not quite nice or fair, to say the least.

By supporting 66.131.69.180 for the "protection" of the ENSAM article you actually supporting vandal, 66.131.69.180 is the wife of Julien Dupuy. Julien Dupuy isn't a famous alumni. He is just a student who make joke on all the ENSAM and Gadz'arts article. He started on Wikipedia.fr, He play with the homonym article ( Julien Dupuy the famous French rugbyman) and with the fact he made a thesis in Canada about concrete. If he really start the ENSAM in 2001 ( promotion number is the year of admission), 3 years of study at the ENSAM, 1 extra year in Canada, + 2 years of employment. How can he be famous in only 2 years without be know by the students, the alumni association, etc ... Take a look on fr:ensam and fr:gadzarts, the only trace of julien dupuy are in the undo log. I'm francophone wikipedia contributor since 2003, my IP is log in the English Wikipedia in more than 4 article related to France, 66.131.69.180 contribute only on the ENSAM and Gadzarts article, and all hers contributions are around Julien Dupuy.

No problem. How much longer do you estimate WP:RELEVANCE to be in active development? --Android Mouse 01:51, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
I personally think it's pretty well-tuned by now, and ready for "release" -- but we still have to overcome some resistance and a larger amount of indifference. I'd rather have more vocal support before taking the next bold step. I'll try putting it on Centralized Discussion next and start delivering some ultimatums on the Trivia talk pages to flush out more opposition, if it exists. Can't come off like I'm trying to ram it through -- that'll just backfire.--Father Goose 04:24, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
I made a small edit on {{trivia}} to make it completely overlap my {{trivia2}} (so there will be no confusion if the section is not called Trivia), as well as make it somewhat more explanatory. ~ JohnnyMrNinja 20:54, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
Sounds good, thanks for your help. --Android Mouse 21:26, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
My previous edit was reverted. Could you please weigh in at Template talk:Trivia#Too bulky, as I would really like to make this template the most usable it can be, as well as get it to a point where it will actually be welcomed by editors. I would love to see your bot actually running again, and have nobody freak out. ~ JohnnyMrNinja 06:15, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for telling me, I've commented. Although, I'm fairly sure no matter how usable the template is made there will still be a large opposition if the bot starts running again. When I read things like this, it only reinforces my opinion on not running it. --Android Mouse 06:57, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cory Gregory

I don't see why you would delete this. Cory Gregory was actually in the national spotlight for the murder of Adrian Reynolds (he turned himself in) the fact that he's my cousin happened to be a coincidence. As a matter-of-Fact, he and his father were on dateline. He has also been mention in both Globe, and Time Magazines, as well as having been reported on on CNN. I would say that would make him quite notorious enough to have an article on Wikipedia. I just have a problem citing sources.

I didn't delete the article. You could talk to an admin and ask them to restore it for you or to provide you with the article text so you can work on it and repost it when it is more cited. --Android Mouse 17:36, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article issues template

Is there a way you can not add the {{articleissues}} template on articles where you've done it once and someone has reverted it back? (Kenzō Kotani is an example). It's massively annoying for those of us who are watching pages like that. --Fabrictramp 21:02, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I can have the bot check if it has already added the template incase it was previously removed. --Android Mouse 21:13, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
Thanks -- that would help! --Fabrictramp 21:52, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
No problem. I should have thought about editors removing it beforehand. What's your opinion on the scroll box idea that was posted on the articleissues talk page? I posted a possible implementation of it. --Android Mouse 21:56, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Commercial use of Image:Tankini2.jpg

I didn't upload the image, I added the speedy tag. Also, why was the speedy tag removed and the editing history of it being added deleted? Me5000 19:08, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

The link works in the section header but doesn't seem to work when clicked from your edit summary. It will be hard for me to find out why it glitched since the page log for that image is already gone. --Android Mouse 20:07, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
The speedy deletion tag was removed because of a glitch? Does that mean I can put the tag back? Me5000 20:28, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
No, the bot didn't remove the speedy tag. The image appears to be deleted here [7] but is still viewable here [8]. I'm not sure why that is. --Android Mouse 21:04, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
While there is a deletion log, the picture wasn't deleted. It is still viewable on the page it's being used for and the page you mentioned. Should I talk to Howcheng about it since he deleted it? Me5000 21:21, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
Yeah he'd probably be able to figure out what happened better than I could. Perhaps it's just the image page that got deleted not the image, although I had assumed both the image page and the image would get deleted at the same time. --Android Mouse 21:25, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User:Android Mouse Bot 2

Your bot seems to have stopped working rather abruptly... is there something wrong with it? --Deskana (banana) 18:29, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Nope. --Android Mouse 19:38, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
Really? I found it rather odd that it stopped one minute before User:Neil Larson was blocked, when there was checkuser evidence linking your bot to Neil Larson. I'd like to hear your explanation, please. --Deskana (banana) 19:50, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
Neil Larson is also my account. I although have not violated any policy by having multiple accounts. The block on the Neil Larson account was clearly unjustified. --Android Mouse 20:02, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
I suggest you read the policy on sockpuppets. Particularly forbidden uses of them. Majorly (talk) 20:16, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DinoSized Bot issues

Hi,

A recent edit may suggest that this bot needs fixing. I'm not aware of the issues involved but thought you may need to know.

Thanks,

Sorry mate, AM has dissapeared for the moment (at least), see the above if you are interested. :: maelgwn - talk 13:25, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] No need to leave

Though you got a bit of egg on your face, Android Mouse, the work you did here was great, and the egg is easily forgotten, unless you memorialize it by committing seppuku. I'd like to ask you to keep this account alive so that your bot work and other highly-valued contributions can continue. I don't care if you use other accounts for any of your other contributions, and nor should anyone else. One misstep does not necessitate a castastrophe, and losing you is a catastrophe.--Father Goose 16:33, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Seconded. Your work on DinoSizedBot alone has been nothing short of miraculous, saving me hours of painstaking, mind-numbing work every week. Please reconsider leaving. Firsfron of Ronchester 18:44, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
Agreed :( 86.137.123.74 00:08, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hello there Android Mouse

Hi there, just wanted to let you know, I think there might be a problem with one of your bots. Check out my talk page; I have no idea what the image file it posted information about is, it's certainly not anything I uploaded.

Thanks and take care, Tmorrisey 04:32, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright violation in Citadel (groupware)

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Citadel (groupware), by JonHarder, another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Citadel (groupware) is unquestionably copyright infringement, and no assertion of permission has been made.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Citadel (groupware), please affix the template {{hangon}} should not be placed on talk pages. Please remove it and place it on the content page. to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Citadel (groupware) itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 20:29, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Note that I did not post any such information on-line, and Wikipedia might want to make users sign in rather than allowing random edits from dynamic IPs...

Just my two cents worth...

[edit] Bot mentioned in Template for Deletion discussion

One of your bots is mentioned a few times in Wikipedia:Templates for deletion#Template:Trivia. Perhaps you might find this interesting enough to add a comment. / edg ☺ ★ 07:09, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:National Geographic Channel Logo.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:National Geographic Channel Logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 06:04, 11 September 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Trivia

Hello, I've been doing my best to help clean up trivia section in articles. I noticed that Android Mouse Bot 3 added a trivia template tag to Anthropomorphism#In popular culture, but this is actually one of the few well written "in popular culture" sections. Its written in coherent paragraphs (not bullet points) and the information is directly relevant to Anthropomorphism as outlined in WP:REL. Is there any way to prevent the bot from tagging it in the future? Thanks for the help, and thanks for creating such a useful bot. It's been a great help in trivia cleanup. Sbacle 15:50, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Android Mouse isn't around anymore, but I'll field this one. The trivia tag bot only ran once, in a big batch run back in May, so remove the tag without worries.--Father Goose 03:10, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] u don't know what u r doing

i do not understand why u erased Ibrahim Kas article. He plays for Besiktas and very good footballer. probably u do not know anything about Turkish football.

[edit] rash accusations

It is irresponsible and dishonest to go about adding tags saying something is UNQUESTIONABLY a copyright violation when in fact all you have is evidence to support a reasonable suspicion that it is a copyright violation. All you've got is that an article is verbatim identical to some web page. Or perhaps that and a copyright notice on the web page. That doesn't make it UNQUESTIONABLE that it's a copyright violation. As you know, often it's the owner of the copyright who creates the Wikipedia article. Even if it's not, you haven't investigated the question of whether permission has been given. Even if there is valid grounds to delete the article based on such reasonable suspicion, throwing around the word "unquestionably" like that is creating acrimony and well-justified resentment because it is dishonest, and it just may get you sued. Behave yourself. Michael Hardy 02:12, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User talk:Sam Dangit

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article User talk:Sam Dangit, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

The image I uploaded for use in the infobox of the Elland Road article appears to be up for deletion.
