bot problem?
Hello Qwerfjkl, please check your settings for your bot, User:Qwerfjkl (bot). In Bots/Requests for approval/Qwerfjkl (bot) 2 it is listed as exclusion compliant, however in this edit it appears to have ignored that: Special:PermaLink/1054543578. Notice that your bot was already in a deny list when it made that edit. — xaosflux  Talk 18:09, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
 * - this is the follow up from VP. — xaosflux  Talk 18:10, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

Hello Qwerfjkl, is the correct syntax, because it doesn't fend off the bot. hasn't been over-ridden yet but is that just good luck? --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 20:02, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi, I'll check my settings and try to reply sometime tomorrow. (I'm currently on mobile.) &#8213; Qwerfjkl  talk  20:41, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
 * @Xaosflux Hmm... I do have "ignore bots and nobots" unchecked. If it helps, these are my settings: &#8213;  Qwerfjkl  talk  15:04, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
 * That's something you would need to discuss with the developers of your framework. If it isn't working right you will need to stop using it until you can resolve it.  Did you reivew the specific edit I linked to and agree that you should not have made that edit based on the bots directive? —  xaosflux  Talk 15:11, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, I agree the bot should not have made this edit. ― Qwerfjkl  talk  15:33, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
 * @Xaosflux Adding the skip condition "contains " seems to have worked. ―  Qwerfjkl  talk  15:41, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks, that is probably overkill, but certainly will fix this problem. Overkill in that it will make you skip pages like  . —  xaosflux  Talk 15:42, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Better than editing pages that explicitly deny the bot. Thank you for your time, Xaoslfux, and thank you @John Maynard Friedman for alerting me to this issue (indirectly). ― Qwerfjkl  talk  15:44, 12 November 2021 (UTC)

Bot blocked

 * User:Qwerfjkl (bot) has been blocked for not respecting exclusion compliance indicated in Bots/Requests for approval/Qwerfjkl (bot) 2. Pleae review your bot code.  Once you have resolve your programming issue, please let me know for an unblock.  Any admin is welcome to unblock this account once Qwerfjkl validates that the error has been resolved. —  xaosflux  Talk 19:53, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Example of the offending edit: here. — xaosflux  Talk 19:54, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I'll check this more carefully this time and ensure it is exclusion compliant. ― Qwerfjkl  talk  20:01, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Have you been able to validate that the problem is actually resolved - you should be able to test that without editing. (Please @ping me here when done for an unblock). — xaosflux  Talk 16:17, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
 * @Xaosflux: The skipping now works (according to the skip log) on Ordinal indicator (after I re-added the template). Can you unblock the bot so I can make sure it works properly? ― Qwerfjkl  talk  17:51, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
 * @Xaosflux: The most recent run seems to have worked, so it should be fine now. &#8213; Qwerfjkl  talk  10:45, 19 November 2021 (UTC)

New page reviewer granted
Hi Qwerfjkl. Your account has been added to the " " user group. Please check back at WP:PERM in case your user right is time limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page. In addition, please remember: The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. Seddon talk 23:16, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging  pages for  maintenance so  that  they are aware.
 * You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
 * If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
 * Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page. Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.
 * I have listed a page you reviewed for deletion at Articles for deletion/Brian Femminella. A second page you reviewed, Three Thousand Stitches, appears to be using Goodreads as a source, which is discouraged.  And a third, Laurie Franks, has some obviously malformed references.  Please be more diligent when doing NPP reviews. User:力 (powera,  π,  ν ) 01:22, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

Question from Chabot4me (14:07, 21 November 2021)
Hello, I tried changing the address location on the page gor Leo Louis Chabot I created so it could have better attention. But I got a message it is not allowed because apparently I changed the User. So my question is… Is there a way to change the address so he can be found easier? --Chabot4me (talk) 14:07, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
 * @Chabot4me: Hi, are you talk about the draft located at User:Chabot4me/Sandbox? Are you trying to get the draft moved to mainspace? &#8213; Qwerfjkl  talk  17:02, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

Yes that is correct, I was trying to move the draft. Or is that done by the robot. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chabot4me (talk • contribs) 20:48, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
 * @Chabot4me: You can submit the draft for review by adding {{subst:submit}} to the top of the page. Please read WP:YFA. &#8213; Qwerfjkl  talk  20:57, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

Can you give me some details in how to make a proper list?
All of my drafts are being deleted or rejectd for the same reason. My lists are incorrect and i dont know why. Scottlinehan1999 (talk) 12:52, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
 * @Scottlinehan1999: Lists links to some helpful pages. You can also try looking at other list articles, such as List of The Sopranos characters. &#8213; Qwerfjkl  talk  16:21, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

Dang, you did a number on my redirect "awesome brah island"
That being said, I made that link years ago and it was certainly an inside joke that did not stand up to any scrutiny and was likely correctly admonished as a "blatant hoax", or at least "implausible" ;)....I suppose I am just as sad to see it go as I am glad that the powers at be do not allow such jiggery pokery to go on indefinitely.

Relisting discussions at RfD
Please refrain from relisting discussions for a third time (especially if no discussion has occurred after the second relist). These type of discussions should be left for the next patrolling admin to handle them. And in some cases, a "no consensus" close is better than a relist. I recommend reading WP:RELIST and WP:SILENCE which will guide you on how to relist discussions properly. Thanks. CycloneYoris talk! 22:43, 26 November 2021 (UTC)

"Fixing userbox per request"
I made no such requests. In fact, I clearly stated that I would fix those transclusions. If you want to beat me to the punch and fix some of them, fine, whatever, but don't give false attribution (blame) to me. —  void  xor  20:51, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Oh...yeah...that editor is trying to make trouble for me because we have history. "Soft-redirected userbox" are my words from earlier this week. He knows full well that I've been working on fixing userbox transclusions in AWB as a pet project since the pandemic began. I've fixed tens of thousands. The irony is that I'm nearly done. The two userboxes that he mentioned in that request were near the bottom of my to-do list. Some others for which I'd already fixed transclusions were just nominated for deletion Monday, Thursday, and yesterday. —  void  xor  04:07, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Correction: the three userboxes that he mentioned. I'd been actively working on transclusions of CountriesVisited this last week, actually. And Userbox/POC I just tagged and put onto my to-do list a few days ago. Don't be this user's pawn. —  void  xor  01:03, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

FYI
Hello, Qwerfjkl,

That IP editor who keeps requesting redirects about etymologies is User:Mx. Clarks, an account that is globally blocked. I just saw on another user talk page that they admitted that they couldn't use their regular account so they edit as an IP which I guess is why they keep requesting that you create pages for them. If I knew how to do range blocks, I'd try that because every day they have a new IP account. Liz Read! Talk! 22:15, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for informing me! I'll decline all the redirects in that case. &#8213; Qwerfjkl  talk  07:09, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

Question from P3771 on The Highland County Press (03:00, 15 December 2021)
Hello, it would seem I overestimated the amount of information available for a locally owned newspaper, especially for someone who has never been to the location. It would seem the original owner, the Clermont Sun Publishing Company, inc, had serval other newspapers, or at least according to the Ohio Security of State website. https://bizimage.ohiosos.gov/api/image/pdf/5486_0651 https://bizimage.ohiosos.gov/api/image/pdf/200110002356 I would like to create a page called Clermont Sun Publishing Company, Inc., than merge it with The Highland County Press. I hope this will allow it to meet Wikipedia's guidelines. Does this sound reasonable to you? --P3771 (talk) 03:00, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
 * @P3771: That sounds fine, though to might want to ask at The Teahouse, were someone more knowledgeable can answer your question. &#8213; Qwerfjkl  talk  07:09, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

Tagging empty categories
Hello, Qwerfjkl,

Another message! It looks like you are using your own script rather than Twinkle to tag empty categories. That's fine, whatever works is great but I don't think your script is leaving notifications on the talk page of the category creator every time you tag an empty one. This is just a reminder that this is important and maybe your script needs a bit of tweaking.

My failure to notify a category creator of the tagging of an empty category years ago caused the editor to open a complaint about me at ANI so it's become a best practice that I can be a little insistent on which is why I'm such a big fan of Twinkle and I post so many reminders about this. But kudos to you on creating your own script! Thanks again for all of the work you do. Liz <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">Read! Talk! 19:51, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
 * @Liz See - the script should be notifying the user. &#8213;  Qwerfjkl  talk  07:12, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi, Qwerfjkl, another potential improvement is to search for empty category. If you look at Special:History/Category:Skydance Television drafts, this category was tagged for C1 several times in a short period despite the addition of said template, and a removal of the speedy tag upon seeing the template notice.  You may want to have the script search for that template and its redirect variations. -2pou (talk) 20:55, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
 * @2pou: Thanks, I hadn't thought if that. I'll check for  - the script already does this when tagging, so it shouldn't be too hard. &#8213;  Qwerfjkl  talk  21:04, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

I was wondering how you made almost 47,400 edits and got enough experience so as to become a reviewer, admin and whatever stuff they are, all in just over 10 months. Probably the bot added to the edits, didn't it? (I remember when I had previously asked a similar question and you said that's because you were very active, but this seems hyperactive to me!)
