Hello, I'm Abelmoschus Esculentus. An edit you recently made to User:AnomieBOT/C/Arts peer reviews seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, the sandbox is the best place to do so. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. ~ Abelmoschus Esculentus  (talk to me) 04:07, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Oops I meant to blank my version of the page User:Kadane/PR/Categories/Arts. I went to self-revert and you had already gotten to it. Sorry about that and thanks for your vigilance. Kadane (talk) 04:10, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
 * No problem. Just be a little more careful - please? ~ Abelmoschus Esculentus  (talk to me) 04:14, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Of course, thanks for your understanding Kadane (talk) 04:18, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

Please consider checking your code, it's generating unclosed  tags..ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 08:54, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Good catch! I still need to install the linter you gave me on IRC. I've added the fix and updated all the categories. Thanks for pointing it out Kadane (talk) 09:26, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

User page
Sorry to have caused trouble. You being a relatively new user, I wanted to alert you to some things, but I'm apparently out of step. I don't think we can afford to be lax about COPYWITHIN.

I saw your BRFA. Way to go! I'm such a sluggard, I'm still puzzling around with how to get PWB to do what I want and, as I go, realizing that there really is an ongoing role to perform rather than just a one time multi-page edit that I had originally envisioned.

I see you're logging into the IRC channels using the KiwiIRC web client. If you're happy with that, peace. If you want to be in the IRC channels persistently, there are bouncers like ZNC and other clients that you may want to consider. One advantage you get from the bouncer is that it can record the conversation in the channel so you can play it back or scroll it back when you rejoin. You need a server somewhere that's always online, but it can be done with relatively low resources - I've even heard of people using a Raspberry Pi.  — jmcgnh (talk) (contribs) 06:01, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
 * No trouble at all. I didn't really want the User page in the first place, but it was highly suggested by others in IRC. Thanks on the BRFA. I like PWB but I wish that there was a popular framework written in Java. This dynamic typing is killing me. I will check out the bouncer after I move back to college (next week :S) and am on my permanent connection. Thanks for reaching out. Kadane (talk) 07:15, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Good. Then I probably shouldn't tempt you with: User page design center.
 * I don't know what the status of these Java bot/libraries is: WP:Creating_a_bot. Did you check those out?
 * As far as where to put the source code for your bot, the most popular site seems to be GitHub. I'm running Gitea on a local server as an experiment and it's exposed enough to the net that I can push and fetch between it and PAWS, but I'll probably push the repo to GitHub when the time comes. You know about PAWS, right?
 * I'm interested in finding out how to do a sample run of a bot against a replica of en-wiki, including writes. The PAWS container looks like it may have access to such a thing - there are many terabytes of stuff attached - but I haven't figured out the details.  — jmcgnh (talk) (contribs) 07:47, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
 * @ I had not seen PAWS before. That looks pretty neat. I'll have to check it out more when I have the time.


 * I am going to upload my source code to GitHub, but first I need to create a separate account. I don't want to use the one I have with my personal details attached. I will be honest though, my comments aren't looking great, so that's why I haven't bothered creating the new account quite yet. Right now I am changing how the bot serializes the data and then I will work on comments.


 * I saw the Java libraries, but they don't appear to have the community support that PWB has. I might try a future task using one of the Java libraries. Kadane (talk) 08:24, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
