RFC bot failing to list an RFC
When you turned RFC bot back on it removed the listing for Wikipedia talk:Proposed deletion of biographies of living people from both Requests for comment/Wikipedia policies and guidelines and Requests for comment/Biographies. For some reason the bot is confusing the BLPPROD RFC with an RFC in the village pump that is supposed to be listed as unsorted. Can you look into getting it listed? (I had manually added it when the bot was blocked/disabled, but now it is removing my addition again) Monty  845  14:20, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Problem solved :) (long story short, it had to do with the idea lab RFC not being recognised correctly as unsorted, which caused a bit of a waterfall effect). Thank you for bringing that to my attention, and if there are any other problems with the bot (or heck, even features you'd like to see), please feel free to contact me. -- Chris 04:04, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for sorting it out. Monty  845  05:15, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

File:Iudaea_capta_reverse_of_Vespasian_sestertius.jpg
Hi. Appreciate your message about the copyright issue. This image was copied from Commons and cropped (see file ) The original image showed both sides of the coin, and only one was relevant to illustrate the particular article I used it for. I just copied the permissions template from Commons, so I don't know why that doesn't work. Since you have a command of copyright law, could you take a moment to look at the Commons permission, and either tell me what's wrong or fix it? Thanks. Cynwolfe (talk) 13:14, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok, I've update the permissions to reflect those on Commons. Thanks. -- Chris 13:32, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

One bot
Why did move the MfD for Book:Food to the heading "January 1, 1970" at the bottom of WP:MFD? (diff) Dynamic&#124;cimanyD contact me ⁞ my edits 15:41, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Looks like because it had no date stamp upon creation: . – xeno talk 15:46, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Yet another reason to sign your posts... but maybe in that situation the bot should just leave it where it is. Dynamic&#124;cimanyD contact me ⁞ my edits 15:58, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Xeno's right (Why January 1st, 1970 you ask? Because, that is the Unix epoch). I will look into improving how the bot handles situations like that. -- Chris 00:20, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

CHU clerk does not seem to be warning when SUL conflicts exist
Here, the bot should have warned about the SUL conflict rather than indicating no problems. I previously wrote about this here. Please advise, – xeno talk 15:45, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I should have looked into addressing that problem earlier. I've updated the bots code to use a slightly different method of detecting conflicts. It should be working properly now. Thanks for drawing my attention to this. -- Chris 10:38, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

Question on RfC bot

GA bot
How can I stop GA bot from making edits like this? Background: TonyTheTiger created the GAR for Antone Davis to make a comment, but declared that he would not be reviewing it. I deleted the subpage to help the bot out, and now the bot keeps saying the Antone Davis article is being reviewed by "???"  Eagles   24/7  (C)  21:06, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Nevermind, I think I've fixed it.  Eagles   24/7  (C)  21:20, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
