parameter is specified? Thanks. — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 16:58, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Whatever parameter the bot is removing shouldn't be mandatory, because images are not available for all uses. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs (st47) 19:05, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, the whole point of a flag template is to display a flag, so something needs to be a mandatory parameter. We have cautioned people against using non-free images in these templates, but not everybody heeds the message.  I guess I'll just have to keep a manual eye on things....  — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 21:24, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

User talk:STBotI
Please can you reword the "welcome" message on this bot's talk page? As it stands it is aggressive, unhelpful and appears to me to be assuming bad faith, with its comments about whining etc. The wording is excessively complicated, and does not realistically help editors fix problems with copyright tags. I would add that to be mesaged when in the middle of fixing tags on a newly uploaded image is not helpful either. We are not all capable of instantaneous edits. Thank you.

Hi
Hi there. I wasn't sure whether to leave this on STBotI's talk page or here, but as this is not a comment about the Bot's work per se, I thought I'd come here. Besides, it's not urgent.

I came across the Bot's talk page and wondered if it would be possible to tone down the message at the top of the page. New image tagging is a bit of a minefield for even fairly experienced Wikipedians and a lot of people (even admins, and myself definitely included) find it fairly obscure and difficult to get right. Your bot's tags are an opportunity to help well-intentioned people get it right with that tag and with future ones too. With that in mind, perhaps if there were fewer instructions at the top of the page, and if they came across with a kinder, more helpful tone more people might read (all of) them?

I can imagine you get a lot of irritating comments on that talk page (I did laugh at the 'rational/rationale' thing) as well as visitors who aren't, shall we say, quite so well intentioned. But don't you think it would be better if the page were geared to help the good guys, rather than combat the trolls, who almost certainly won't read the instructions anyway?

As, like I say, I find image tagging almost beyond my limited brain's abilities, I might be a good ally in working on some improved wording. I'd like to think I'm quite good on civility/AGF issues and between us I'm sure we could work up something outstanding in a sandbox. What do you say?

Cheers, --Dweller (talk) 10:53, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
 * As is, it's straight from BCBot, where I stole it from. If you have any suggestions, sure. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs (st47) 21:31, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree with Dweller. Please tone down your instructions, they make you sound like a power-tripping jobsworth — Suxamethonium 22:03, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll work on a draft at User:Dweller/STBotI. Pop along and fiddle with it whenever you like, but I'll drop you a line when I'm getting somewhere. I'll start with the text as is, so you'll be able to see from the diffs what I've deleted, in case I get rid of something important or twist the meaning of something in such a way that it becomes an error. Cheers. --Dweller (talk) 22:20, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for turning the redlink blue. I'm under way. Take a look and see if you like the kind of flaccid, colourless, humorless changes I'm making ;-) --Dweller (talk) 15:49, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Humour good... a nice friendly and understandable spiel - nae point in alienating a load of good faith editors. I draw the line at fluffyness though... Irony probably not the best bet though, only us Brits would get it ;) — Suxamethonium 23:49, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

It's moving along nicely, if slowly. I pop back to it every so often. Apparently, there's a helpful flow chart I can link to from it. Might add that tomorrow. --Dweller (talk) 18:06, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi
I'm gregorynovella, it's about the image i uploaded about MyWebSearch in avast! Virus Chest, how do i fix the problem concerning the image? Gregorynovella (talk)

Hello.
STBotI doesn't appear to actually attempt to check if copyright information is there before warning Wikipedians for uploading images, because I made sure to include it this time (see ). Please fix that. Also, requiring users to go to a third-party website where they have to register to mention problems with your bot seems rather unreasonable. Zenwhat (talk) 11:18, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * It isn't a third-party website, it's a bugtracker provided by wikimedia, like bugzilla. Regarding the image, there's still no license tag, as required by policy at WP:IUP point 1:
 * Always tag your image with one of the image copyright tags. When in doubt, do not upload copyrighted images.

deletion
I just had an article deleted... while, sure, it wasn't the best article (missing lots of info.), it was of a significant person in the history of a certain state (South Carolina, USA). Anyway, after reading and re-reading the reasons for its deletion, I've come to the conclusion that it was deleted for a reason other than that stated, especially since it meets the criteris for NOT being "speedily deleted." Anyway, since I didn't maintain a copy of what I wrote, is there a way to undelete it? Thanks. Evets70 —Preceding comment was added at 23:18, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Your page at Commons
Hi, I came across your user page at Commons when I was voting at Commons:Deletion requests as an anon had nominated several of your ogg files for deletion. Your commons page linked to Wikipedia, but it linked to a non-existent article ST47 instead of to your user page, so I fixed it. I'm letting you know, just to check that you really are the same person. Thanks. Cowardly Lion (talk) 22:02, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Slow down User:RFRBot, please.
Just do it. This is not a request to disable the bot, get it re-approved, or anything else. Just slow down it's editing rate, there's a clear consensus for that, stop pretending there isn't. Thank you – Gurch 23:06, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Requests for rollback
Do you have a bot automatically archiving the talk page for Requests for Rollback? Earlier today, I renamed the two existing dated archives (something like Archive 01-06-06 and Archive 08-01-06) to three sequential numbered archives (Archive 1, etc), and then added the usual navboxes and so forth. Please let me know if this will screw up your bot, so I can fix it. Sorry for the confusion, UltraExactZZ Claims~ Evidence 01:08, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * No, this was my error, I read your comment as if you had rearranged the request archives. Mr.  Z- man  01:43, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Help!
I tried creating an article about the local Delaware Survivor show. I am in no way affiliated with the show, and I am just a fan who happens to be a amateur videographer who finds it amazing that Tyler Ford and his team have taken their small east coast show and now have national recognition with fans all over the country!

This is NOT promoting or advertising, as I do not have any affiliation with the show. They have a HUGE fan base on ezBoard community and I wanted to post a article about how big the Survivor Lounge is, and I saw their is an article about the Survivor Sucks message board, so there is no reason why this show should not have an article.

Please help!

I have a suggested function for your bot. Maybe when further information like an E-mail address is required the bot can notify the anon that posted it of the required info. Alexfusco5 22:29, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Bot
Since you have many many bots, I was wondering if you can help me make one? I would like to create 2 bots. One bot will remind everyone who forgets their edit summaries to put an edit summary. (I have a message that it should put). (similar to sinebot <--- isn't that yous?) Another bot will redirect articles of geography. For example: Concord Nh would be redirected to its original article (Concord, New Hampshire). Can you help me out creating these two bots? I really think this would be a good idea, you help would be appreciated. If possible, please reply on my talk page. <b style="color:#1900FF; font-family:Vladimir Script;">Ohmpandya</b>  ( Talk to Me... )  00:40, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Help Me!!
To whom it may concern, I'm just a bit confused. In your previous message, you said that I need to give a suitable explanation for the picture that I have uploaded. My question is, what is the proper way to write the explanation? For example, should I write this in the box?, "This picture is a logo of a school badge that is being used for a fair use to be used in related article of SMK Seri Perak or any appropriate articles." or do I need to upload a new file?

Question
Hello ST47, in your subpage called User:ST47/Stats, you list admins by number of deletions, blocks, etc, and bureaucrats by number of promotions, renames, and bot flags. With admins now being able to grant rollback, would it be possible to now list "admins by number of rollback promotions", or something titled along those lines? Thanks.

Malfunctioning Bot
I have no experience, so I'm not gonna mettle myself.

But your bot has first one minute after upload deleted Image:Poster-B2---03.jpg. And then after I reuploaded the pic (with extremely detailed licensing), he tagged it for Friday 25th for deletion nevertheless.

Perl
Hi, Versageek and I are running a current version of 'Shadowbot' (AntiSpamBot), but I seem to have a problem with the perl/perlwikipedia (at least I guess the problem is there). On some test-reverts it seems to 'convert' some characters (see e.g. diff), and I don't know (yet) what I am doing wrong/what is going wrong. Have you heard of this problem before, and do you know a solution? Thanks already! --Dirk Beetstra T C 14:02, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I should add, I downloaded the last version from svn, and hacked it a bit around, as I did get some errors (some pagenames don't go correctly into urls, &c.). --Dirk Beetstra T  C 19:49, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I hacked around it for now, and the above diff is deleted (still visible for admins ..). Hope to hear more!  --Dirk Beetstra T  C 20:41, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, I'd need to know what changes you made to be sure, but you might try using content instead of decoded_content on lines 310 and 316, or possibly commenting out line 214 - these are the only things that are supposed to screw around with the content. If that doesn't work, try rolling perlwikipedia back to revision 110 - that's the last revision by shadow, so I'm assuming that it worked for him. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs (st47) 00:47, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Shadow used two perlwikipedia libraries in shadowbot, so it is difficult. I do now a consecutive 'get_text' and 'edit', which does do the trick (the bot is running nicely), I think that the data that is returned from the 'get' in the 'revert'-sub does get translated in some way, and I am not sure how to circumvent that (there is no decoded_content in that procedure, so that is not it).
 * The other problem seems to be that when the pagenames contain spaces, the urls become incorrect. I have added a '$page =~ s/\s/_/g' behind every '$page=shift'.  Maybe I should get a google account and update the code regularly :-) .  Thanks anyways.  --Dirk Beetstra T  C 12:16, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

this seems unnecessary
Your bot has removed a link to a fair use media file. I can understand why it would do this, but the media file was only being linked to. In my opinion, it's not really necessary to remove images that aren't actually being depicted. <tt>—msikma (user, talk)</tt> 10:48, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Here, links to video files are the same as included images. You're still using a non-free video outside the main namespace, and it still needs to follow policy. (Though, I really have no idea why the bot caught a link...) --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs (st47) 13:05, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

My userbox
ST47, I saw you visited my page and changed a particular userbox I'd set up. Let me remind you that wikipedia is not censored (WP:NOT#CENSORED) and that the userbox in question was setup the way it way for that very reason. Yes, I saw your edit note, and contrary to what you wrote, Betacommandbot was not doing his job. It's a long story and I don't want to keep rehashing it. Bottom line, my userbox is there in protest. I haven't put it back up yet because I want to hear your side of it before I do anything (after all - I don't want get a block again (just got off one! )). Thanks ! —Preceding unsigned comment added by KoshVorlon (talk • contribs) 13:41, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Protesting policy can be done without abusing those who enforce it - as I see it, BCBot is removing an image which was tagged non-free from a userpage. Unless part of that is incorrect, BCBot is correct. Regardless, BCBot's actions are not an attempt to censor, but to obey US copyright law. Due to the fair use portion of US copyright law, we must follow guidelines when we use these images. Since we are an encyclopedia, policy states that, in order to follow this law, we must limit usage of these images as much as possible, and we have chosen to limit them to the mainspace. Also, regarding the edit I made, many members of the community frown upon divisive or inflammatory userboxes, and I'd say this one was divisive. Please do not restore it, and if you need further information about the policy that BCBot in enforcing, see point 9 here. Thanks! --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs (st47) 19:14, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
