AFD stats got messed up after account rename
Hi, I'm contacting you since I noticed your name on this tool. The stats are majorly wrong. It also doesn't list several participations, even the most recent ones (1, 2, 3). Can this be fixed? Regards. X (talk) 14:43, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

Edit summary search
I don't know why this search does not work: Sample edit it should see with 2,344 others:  --  Green  C  13:24, 22 April 2024 (UTC)


 * This was apparently due to replication lag. -- Green  C  19:56, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

Deaths in 2024 talk page archiving
Hi. The bot has recently on two occasions tried to archive a discussion still ongoing as a valid part of the Deaths in 2024 article, namely this section. Could you please ensure that this section remains for the forseeable future? Thanks. Ref (chew) (do) 21:01, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
 * As I've pointed out before, lowecase sigmabot III has no way of knowing if a discussion is still ongoing or not, it goes purely on the most recent timestamp in the thread, compared against the archiving settings. In this case, the top of the page has a containing the parameter old(40d) so anything where the most recent timestamp is more than 40 days ago is eligible for archiving. In this case the most recent timestamp is 13:19, 9 March 2024 (UTC), which is 45 days ago - so the thread has been eligible for archiving since 13:19, 18 April 2024 (UTC). You should either amend the archiving settings to a longer period, or get people to actually add posts to this "ongoing" discussion.
 * On a related matter, if you revert a bot's archiving edit, you must also remove the thread concerned from the archives. You have not done that, and so the same thread now appears twice at Talk:Deaths in 2024/Archive 1, although there are differences between the versions. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 21:23, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I had no idea this issue had been clarified before. And I should indeed have checked the relevant Archive to revert that. Thanks for sorting that out, and I will be more diligent next time (if there is a next time). (If you look at the talk page edit history, you will see that names are being added to its list of outstanding unreferenced deaths regularly, and then removed regularly once they are sourced, so there is fairly regular activity.) Once again, thanks. Ref (chew) (do) 21:38, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Perhaps you could consider signing each new addition, so that the most recent timestamp does not remain at 13:19, 9 March 2024 (UTC). -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 21:47, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I think I will add that proviso to the list, good idea. Thanks again. Ref (chew) (do) 23:25, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
