[edit] Bot approvals process
Just in case any of you haven't seen the new bot request to track the bot approvals process, this is just a reminder to use the correct templates at {{BAG Admin Tools}} so the bot can correctly identify the stage of bot approval. Also, the approved requests section has been moved to a separate page at Wikipedia:Bots/Approved bot requests for the Bureaucrats to watchlist. When approving a request, make sure you remove it from the main page and place it on that page so that a bureaucrat can flag it. Thanks. MetsBot 16:46, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] WP:UW future?
Hi Lightdarkness,
Sorry for the blatant spam, but you have yourself down as interested at WikiProject user warnings WP:UW. There is a discussion on going here that might be of interest to you about the future of this project. There are two strawpolls on the talk pages and the second one is about the future of the WP:UW project. Now we have the end in sight we are looking at wrapping up the project and merging it with Template messages/User talk namespace WP:UTM and creating a one stop shop for all userspace templates. As you have yourself down as interested in this project we thought you may have some input on this issue, and would like you to visit the discussion and give any thoughts you may have on the matter. Cheers Khukri 10:28, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] LDBot
I noticed that LDBot is the one which creates new AfD logs each day. I thought of a feature you may wish to add to your bot, which shouldn't be too hard to get approved at WP:RFBOT. Each day a new category must be created for Category:Images_with_unknown_copyright_status and Category:Images_with_unknown_source. This is generally done manually when an editor notices that no new category has been created yet. This seems like something that your bot could easily do alongside creating the new AfD day pages. Just an idea, let me know what you think. --Nick—Contact/Contribs 00:12, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Wikispecies
Hello. I see you're a 'crat on species. Can you rename drini to something else and move User:Dr-ini to User:Drini ? I'd like to get my username back. -- drini [meta:] [commons:] 05:13, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] LDBot creating pages from....where?
Where is LDBot pulling the source for the next AFD page from? It doesn't appear to be importing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/current, because these edits occurred hours before this page creation. Please advise. -- nae'blis 15:07, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Your edit to Article for deletion
Your edit to the page inserted the goatse link on the link to add articles for deletion. This is your edit to the page and the link was still functional in the edit prior to yours. I'm pretty sure that this wasnt intentional, or an administrator deleted the edit that caused this, but I hope we can stop this from happening again. Corpx 18:00, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
- I just realized that somebody edited this on the subpage and thats why it didnt show up in the edit log. My sincere apologies. Corpx 18:04, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image tagging for Image:Ffrscreenshot.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Ffrscreenshot.png. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Please change the message to say "of the following list" instead of "of this page". The latter is causing some confusion. Uncle G 16:54, 4 June 2007 (UTC) |}

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Wendy_Wu_Poster.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Wendy_Wu_Poster.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BigrTex 19:17, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bot Approval BoxCrawler
Thanks to xaosflux I've been able to run a trial of my bot which can be seen here. I have fixed the major problems with the test run (mostly one regular expression) and was hoping to run another test. I'd still appreciate your input. Thanks! Adam McCormick 03:42, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Disney_-_Pixel_Perfect.jpg
I have tagged Image:Disney_-_Pixel_Perfect.jpg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. Thank you. BigrTex 20:45, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] AfD new page question
This is related to LDBot, I guess. I want to update the page that LDBot uses to create the AFD discussion pages. I want to add a hidden comment to reiterate that new AfDs should go at the top of the list and not at the bottom. Can you point me to the right place?

[edit] Ingo Molnár
A {{prod}} template has been added to the article Ingo Molnár, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{db-author}}. mms 16:37, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
