not working properly at all
isn't working properly at all. The archiving at WP:ANI has been set to 72-hours-old for years now, but there are currently threads on the page that have gone 5, 6, and 7 days without responses or archiving. I've seen countless other pages over the past several months with threads well past that page's "expiration" that has failed to archive. It appears we need a replacement for this bot as it is failing. ANI in particular needs a working bot that archives stale threads promptly. Softlavender (talk) 04:29, 24 October 2016 (UTC)

WikiProject Cycling
Archiving doesn't seems to be working for Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Cycling. It's set to archive after 2 weeks with a min of 1. There are two, with the older one 22 days old. The newer one is using, so maybe that's the issue? BaldBoris 23:01, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

Draft:Sandbox
Hello Σ. Per this change (and related) the lone draft-sandbox-cleaning bot is probably not going to be enough. Would it be possible to add Draft:Sandbox to Lowercase sigmabot II's list of sandboxes to be maintained? Thanks. -- zzuuzz (talk) 10:13, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

Editor Interaction Analyser bug report
Hi Σ, I hope you are well. Clicking on the timeline link in an Editor Interaction Analyser report generates a 500 error: File "/mnt/nfs/labstore-secondary-tools-project/sigma/cherry/cherryhtml/timeline.py", line 84, in prepare_query l.append(store.startdate + "000000") TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'int' and 'str' Without having looked at the code, this might be fixable by changing the line to, although there is probably a better way to do it.
