Hello! I am currently on an indefinitely-long wikibreak for personal reasons. Although I may edit sporadically from time to time, messages left here will generally not be seen. If your query is about my RFA Bot, please send me an e-mail. (However, I do not plan to make any improvements to it.) If your query is about my edits on the English Wikipedia, please try to resolve it through other means. If your query is not about the English Wikipedia, or is about my toolserver tools or bots, please see my user talk page on Meta. Thank you, and happy editing! - Tangotango (talk) |

[edit] Details
When I check the details of RfAs, it gives my username as Jackrm, which my username was previously, but I quite recently - a month or two ago, got it usurped. Jackrm is now a seperate account owned by me, so do you have any idea why it gives my username as Jackrm? I'm just wondering, thanks. Jack?! 11:42, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Redirects
Hi,
Could you please help me:
I want "unicoms" and "Unicoms" to be redirected to "UniComs".
Thank you in advance!

[edit] Query
Tango, do you happen to know how I can have a small version of your RFA analysis report on my talk page? I saw a small version somewhere once but I've not been able to find it again. SlimVirgin (talk)(contribs) 19:19, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for your response. It wasn't the bureaucrat's version. It was someone who posted your report, but in a smaller script, so that it took up less space. But no worries. I'm sure I'll come across it again one day. :-) SlimVirgin (talk)(contribs) 19:43, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] "What redirects here" tool
I don't think it's working. jj137 (talk) 02:08, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
doesn't work for me either Allixsenos (talk) 23:11, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Google-Groups-Listview.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:Google-Groups-Listview.png. 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 (talk) 03:44, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Redirect tool
While searching for redirects to Template:Db-author, I was informed by your tool that User talk:LaGrange was one! Just thought you'd want to know - it's probably because there is text underneath the redirect. Happy‑melon 19:09, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
- TT, thanks for your Very Excellent Tool, but I noticed the same behavior. Whatredirectshere to Ron Paul included User:Seanwarner86/UserBoxes, which was similarly a redirect page to User:Seanwarner86 with text underneath the redirect. Clearly your tool is asking the questions "Does it link here" and "Is it a redirect" instead of "Is it a redirect to here", which strikes me as a clear bug. For all, the quick fix on the user side is to delete the text under the redirect, which I have done. Best wishes! John J. Bulten (talk) 13:39, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Redirects
Searching redirects for "Coventry" brings some pages that are not redirects to "Coventry". Snowman (talk) 11:24, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Question about Tangobot
Excuse me if this has been asked already, but why does Tangobot update two different RFA tallies at the hour and at the half hour, instead of one update every half an hour? Thanks! Icestorm815 • Talk 01:46, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Nubio broken
Hey Tangotango :-) Nubio has been broken for some weeks, any chance it can be fixed? Cheers, --Commander Keane (talk) 02:01, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] User:Tangotango/RfA Analysis/Report
RfB do not show up on User:Tangotango/RfA Analysis/Report. Is there a separate page for RfBs? Or could you please add RfBs to that report? Kingturtle (talk) 13:02, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
- I found what I needed. Thanks! Kingturtle (talk) 17:15, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
- Along similar lines, however, we were wondering over at RfA talk if combining your template and the RfB one would be possible. To see the rest of the discussion, please see Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_adminship#RfB_reports.3F. Thanks, SorryGuy Talk 04:53, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
I've decided to re-post my request. RfB do not show up on User:Tangotango/RfA Analysis/Report. Is there a separate page for RfBs? Or could you please add RfBs to that report? Kingturtle (talk) 15:27, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Bug report
Hi when viewing the output of one of you programs, I noticed a possible bug. I was originally renamed from User:VivioFateFan to User:Vivio Testarossa, however the "tool" currently continues to list as User:VivioFateFan, could you please check in to this. Thanks, Vivio TestarossaTalk Who 23:06, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] If you return...
Hi there Tangotango!
When you return to Wikipedia - can you make Tangobot3 also monitor Wikipedia:Editor assistance/Requests - I was also wondering if you could implement a feature which would let users add new pages to monitor, with a required status of operator, for example.
This is for the IRC channel #wikipedia-en-help - on the Network Freenode.
Thanks,

[edit] User registration date/time finder
Hello, I like this tool. I tested it on "de.wikipedia.org" with my Username ("APPER") - I had to use the estimation function, because I registered myself back in 2004. I wondered why it loads so long (around half a minute) and had a look at the source and tried it on the toolserver by myself. You use:
SELECT rev_user_text, rev_user, MIN(rev_timestamp) FROM revision WHERE rev_user IN ($userlist) GROUP BY rev_user_text ORDER BY rev_user
The problem is the part GROUP BY rev_user_text. Is there a reason you're using rev_user_text and not rev_user? I tried it directly on the mysql console and hat these results:
mysql> SELECT rev_user_text, rev_user, MIN(rev_timestamp) FROM revision WHERE rev_user IN (10276, 10277, 10278, 10279, 10280, 10281, 10282, 10283, 10284, 10285) GROUP BY rev_user_text ORDER BY rev_user; +---------------+----------+--------------------+ | rev_user_text | rev_user | MIN(rev_timestamp) | +---------------+----------+--------------------+ | APPER | 10276 | 20040209044908 | | Kullmi | 10279 | 20040209101127 | | Arne List | 10282 | 20040209095857 | | Susi Werner | 10284 | 20040210095124 | | Arcier | 10285 | 20050514061839 | +---------------+----------+--------------------+ 5 rows IN SET (32.99 sec) mysql> SELECT rev_user_text, rev_user, MIN(rev_timestamp) FROM revision WHERE rev_user IN (10276, 10277, 10278, 10279, 10280, 10281, 10282, 10283, 10284, 10285) GROUP BY rev_user O RDER BY rev_user; +---------------+----------+--------------------+ | rev_user_text | rev_user | MIN(rev_timestamp) | +---------------+----------+--------------------+ | APPER | 10276 | 20040209044908 | | Kullmi | 10279 | 20040209101127 | | Arne List | 10282 | 20040209095857 | | Susi Werner | 10284 | 20040210095124 | | Arcier | 10285 | 20050514061839 | +---------------+----------+--------------------+ 5 rows IN SET (0.56 sec)
As you can see, the result is the same (but maybe I forgot something special?) and it's nearly 60 times faster... So maybe you can speed up your tool using the second query.
I also have a wish ;). I think it's not only interesting, who are the 12 people registered after you but also some before... maybe you can change this, too ;) --APPER (talk) 22:59, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] RFA analysis not working properly
It appears as though your RFA analysis tool is not working properly lately. It stopped updating about six hours ago. Gary King (talk) 20:39, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Heads up
As per the boxed request at the top of Template talk:RfA, I'm informing you that I've made some edits to Template:RfA. The Transhumanist 23:40, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Bot missed oppose
Your bot keeps on missing an oppose, odd. It's here. (It doesn't even show up on the details.) Thought you might want to know. asenine say what? 06:49, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] RFA duplicate vote false positive
I thought perhaps it might be a good idea to let you know, there was a false positive for duplicate voter here. I suspect it was because asenine does not have a link to his/her userpage. Unlinking the link to Friday's userpage resolved the false hit. I gather this is a one-off situation which probably does not require any action. xenocidic (talk) 13:41, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
- Oh, I never thought about that. Thanks. Asenine 14:35, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Bot issue
At my RfA, your bot won't count the neutral section unless extra characters are added at the problem. I compared the RfA to other RfAs, where the neutrals were being counted, and I don't get where the problem lies. Hope you see this, Enigma message 05:46, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] metawikiの投稿ブロック解除のお願い
user:Penpenと申します。metawikiの投稿ブロックの解除をお願いします。本来、en.wikipediaでお願いするべき事項ではないのですが、下記の事情によりこちらでお願いします。以下説明です。
- 私のmetawikiのアカウントmeta:user:Penpenは現在投稿ブロックされています。ブロックの理由等は次の通りです。
- 『2007年8月9日 (木) 05:20 Aphaia (会話 | 投稿記録) "Penpen (会話 | 投稿記録)" を 無期限 ブロックしました (アカウント作成のブロック, メール送信のブロック) (Disruptive behaviour: already banned permanently from jawiki from the same reason; trolled on Talk:Wikimedia Japan)』[1]
- meta:Talk:Wikimedia Japanで「ウィキメディア財団の日本支部の設立」についてAphaiaさんとの間でいささか感情的なやり取りがあったことは事実ですが、Disruptive behaviour(破壊的な振る舞い)というほどのものかな、どちらかというとAphaiaさんのほうがより感情的になっておられたのでは、というのが私の感覚です。
- 本来ならば異議申し立てをするべきなのでしょうが、metawikiの管理者で日本語を理解する人がAphaiaさんと(Aphaiaさんと個人的な面識のあると思われる)Suisuiさんだけだと思っていたことと、さしあたり実害がないため放置しておりました。
- ところが、今回統一アカウントを取得しようとしたところ、最初のチェック作業の時点でパスワード入力がうまく働きません。meta:Help:Unified login/jaの説明文には「すべての」とあるのですが、どうもmetawikiの投稿ブロックが影響しているようです。
- そこで、このお願いをしています。
- 本来ならばmetawikiのウィキメールでお願いするべき事項なのですが、Aphaiaさんが投稿ブロックの際にウィキメールもブロックしてしまわれたので、使用することができません。このこと自体がこの投稿ブロックがいささか感情的なものであることの現れであると思っています。
- metawikiのアカウントはほとんど使っていないので、一時的に投稿ブロックを解除していただくだけでもかまいません。あるいは、本来の連絡手段であるウィキメールのブロックを解除していただければそちらで再度連絡します。
- お返事はUser talk:Penpenにお願いします。Penpen (talk) 23:53, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
