User talk:JamesR/Archive Jun07

Re:archiving at WP:SUSPSOCK
E, an archiving bot would be great. The page is not that active, either, so the bot wouldn't have to run that often--once a day might do it. There is already an archiving template in use, sspa--could the bot key off of that?

Thanks for taking an interest in this. --Akhilleus (talk) 14:57, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Dear James, it's been long since our last talk. I hope you are fine :) Thank you, dear, for your support on my recent Rfa, I passed! I am now thrilled and hope to live up to your expectations. Come and visit me any time, and please don't hesitate to give me constructive criticism, okay? I hope you have a great day/night. Yours truly, PeaceNT 15:43, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Signature testing for ENewsBot
Does this work? Delivered by ENewsBot (talk) 07:58, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

ENewsBot
I see you want to distribute newsletters also upon request. Though, I don't see the need for two different bots, you probably need to request approval to handle any request, as yours was only for WP:ICE (I don't know why newsletters are delivered by all different bots. I think one or two should deliver them all.) --R Parlate Contribs@ (Let's Go Yankees!) 22:19, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, I know you can make another request (My other bot is running on it's task 2). I'm saying I think you have to get another approval. Also, yes two bots are better than one, but we don't need a different bot for each project. Two bots could deliver them all. --R Parlate Contribs@ (Let's Go Yankees!) 11:07, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * E, what I'm saying is that you can get approval so that as long as you do it the same way for each project, you don't need an approval for each one. See here. --R Parlate Contribs@ (Let's Go Yankees!) 22:25, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Do you plan on doing what I've recommended, or are you going to get individual approval for each project? --R Parlate Contribs@ (Let's Go Yankees!) 20:20, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Archiving
Well, hi, I recently notice you, and some other editors for that matter, have some kinds of bots to do the job of archiving the talk pages. Since I'm rather ignorant of bots, could you show me how to get a bot archiving my talk for me? Thanks, and have a beautiful day, James. Peacent 18:59, 1 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Thank you! Peacent 03:15, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Not too sure what to write, so I'll just write this.

Kindest regards,

Thanks for the help!
Thanks for the help on the Infobox images, E! Terry Carroll 18:16, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
 * No problem. If you ever need help, don't hesitate to ask me. E  talk 02:04, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

User:Anubiz
Per, this, please don't help users who have been blocked. Once they are blocked, they can't abuse templates. However, the template which should be used by the user is the template, rather than. Thanks!  Miranda  12:55, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I apologise as I was unaware of his blocks. I also think you might have retrieved my user page menu on your pages... Have a nice day. E  talk 20:07, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
 * No problem. And, I got the header from Andrew Hempe, per this.  Thanks!  Miranda  22:08, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it is my header as I made it myself and I do know of a few people who have copied it, but it's fine by me. E  talk 22:11, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Okay, you may want to put some sort of a CC licensing tag on your page.  Miranda  22:34, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
 * What tag would be the best? E  talk 22:35, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I use CC-BY-SA. But here are a list of templates: Userboxes/Large/Licencing.  Miranda  22:42, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Do you think that DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-3.0 would do? I've added it to my user page. E  talk 22:55, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Sure.  Miranda  23:31, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Usurpation
Hi, could you explain what you meant by this post: ? It doesn't seem to me to make sense. Doppelganger accounts are still used (though I'm not convinced that this is what was being requested) as the software does not rule out all similar names. For example although Wjbscribe cannot be created as it is too similar to my username, it was possible to create WBJscribe until I created a doppelganger account. Also you should note that it is possible for bureaucrats to rename accounts to anything, inculding names that the Mediawiki software would consider too similar at account creation. The usurpation request in question is unusual but I don't see why it "should be declined or withdrawn" - that is a matter for a bureaucrat to decide once they review the request. WjBscribe 14:43, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I apologise, I must have misunderstood the request. I thought that the MediaWiki software does prevent all similar usernames? That was what this user is requesting I believe. E  talk 02:02, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- ForteTuba 17:33, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that. I'll take a look at a few of those. E  talk 02:05, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Features, ect.
Hi E. I don't mean to be a dick, but you missed my my bot both times in your signpost article. ~ Wi ki  her mit  (HermesBot) 02:57, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I apologise on behalf of the Signpost team. Last week was a bit of a hectic rush and therefore I must have missed it by mistake. I will add it as first approved on this week's edition of the Features and admins. Regards, E  talk 03:24, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Its not a problem. Really. I was just letting you know. -- ~ Wi ki  her mit  (HermesBot) 03:28, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Editor review
I reviewed you over at editor review. Due to the backlog at ER, I am sorry that your review request was not responded to in a timely manner. --wpktsfs (talk) 23:27, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that, it's much appreciated. E  talk 05:40, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

clickable menu icons
You can make your menu icons clickable, if you want to. I think it's a nice feature and would blend well with your nice page design. â€”AldeBaer 00:28, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I have tried to, but the clickable icons just don't work for me, therefore I use just the images. E  talk 05:41, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Userboxes
Thanks. Why were the lines like that? Thedjatclubrock :) 09:54, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

archiving at WP:SSP
Hi E, I should have left you a note, but the bot isn't working properly--it's archiving the entire SSP page instead of just the specific cases. I semi-protected the page to prevent the bot (operating from the toolserver's IP) from editing the page, because it was just doing the same thing every few minutes. What do we do now? --Akhilleus (talk) 15:58, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Single Letter
Hi E! See here for a group just for 26 of us. :) -- (Review Me) R Parlate Contribs@ (Let's Go Yankees!) 23:26, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I've added myself ;) E  talk 23:32, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Do you know how to make it so that the template will move over if there's another template that puts an image there? -- (Review Me) R Parlate Contribs@ (Let's Go Yankees!) 23:36, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
 * No I don't know, sorry. E  talk 23:41, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Your new bot
I had to modify the Abuse Reports page and simply include links to the individual abuse reports. This page was getting quite long and it was needed to simplify the page. Could you possible have your bot check all links on the Abuse Reports page and archive from there? Andrew4010 20:12, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I'll see what I can do. E  talk 02:47, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Alrighty. Sorry to make this a mess for you but the page was just way too unorganized. Andrew4010 00:18, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Barnstar!

 * Hey E, what's up! I haven't been IRCing much of late, school is back to normal (I had blocks, and was bludging :P), and I'm wikibreaking this weekend for two weeks.  So we won't be able to talk much :(  Anyways, just dropping in to see how you're doing, and to remind you that this needs to be updated ;)  G  1  ggy  Talk/Contribs 22:29, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
 * (Award added to awards page) Hello there! Yeah, same here, school every day and even some work shifts are putting me out some days and I can never get to check my messages.. But everything is alright, just about to get two bots running on the toolserver and more, I just can't think of it all at the moment. Have a good Wikibreak and see you back here editing and chatting on IRC better than ever. E  talk 09:47, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
