method. I have submitted a bug report at http://code.google.com/p/perlwikipedia/issues/detail?id=9 and outlined a potential fix. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 13:28, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Unprotection
I've been following the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Requests for arbitration/Betacommand 2/Proposed decision. Would you have time to read that and consider helping to resolve this by: (a) unprotecting the page (it should not remain protected indefinitely); and (b) softening your stance somewhat to help achieve closure on this issue. It goes without saying that no-one should continue to edit the page, but unprotecting would at least show good faith that the incident is passed and that you trust people to make comments at other venues. I intially posted in that thread that unprotecting the page was needed, but I am now approaching you first, as I think that is the best way to move forward and allow both "sides" to achieve some form of reconciliation. Would you consider this? Carcharoth (talk) 11:16, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, doh! :-) I was watching here for a response, when I would have done better to watch the page in question. Only just noticed that. Thanks for doing that. I'll pop back to the arbcom page and note this there. Carcharoth (talk) 19:18, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
 * One more thing - trying to bring this to a close and avoid bad blood - I think some people will still have issues with whether or not your initial page protection was appropriate. Since the arbitration committee are not likely to directly address the issue, I've asked several editors what kind of reassurances they would like from you regarding future conduct. Your evidence presentation was actually pretty clear on this point, but I've posted here if you want to comment there. Thanks. Carcharoth (talk) 19:50, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Direct questions
Per this, I am asking you two direct questions which should, hopefully, resolve this one way or another: Please feel free to answer here or there (the arbitration proposed decision talk page), or contact me on my talk page if you want to discuss this further. Thanks. Carcharoth (talk) 02:26, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * In future, will you avoid using your tools concerning bot requests where you are named as an operator?
 * In future, will you avoid using your tools concerning bot requests where you have participated in the discussion?
 * I would hope that it's obvious that we all avoid using tools in these cases. It isn't until someone continues to be disruptive after non-administrative measures are undertaken that use of admin tools is necessary, if only because no uninvolved admin is available. For an example of this stance in policy, see WP:BLOCK. We warn vandals before we block them. But we do eventually block them, and if no one else is readily available, I just might revert their edits AND block them. Are we suggesting that that would not be acceptable? --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹoɟʇs (st47) 11:23, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * (Also, I would hope it's obvious that blocking vandals is an analogy here, and that I'm not calling anyone a vandal. You never know how someone will twist a comment in an attempt to further their witch hunt, however, so the point is worth noting.) --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹoɟʇs (st47) 11:25, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Leaving the unhelpful witch-hunt reference to one side, my final question is whether next time, if there is a next time, you will try and find an uninvolved administrator to deal with your concerns about discussions being derailed? If I can get an answer on that point, this will be resolved as far as I'm concerned, though I can't speak for others. Carcharoth (talk) 13:10, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * That is pretty much what I said, if someone is available, sure. If something needs doing and it'd be easier to do it myself, I don't see a need to go hunting down administrators. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹoɟʇs (st47) 12:08, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * That is a grey area, but please do make an effort to find someone who is uninvolved. Being able to display that sort of judgement over how involved you are is an important part of being an administrator. And I don't think that removing Bellwether's comment was helpful. At the very least, that removal should be noted in this thread for your talk page archives. Bellwether, before getting angry about this, consider that that an angry response from you here may not help, and ST47 may argue that an angry response from you proves his point. I am going to raise all this back at the arbitration case pages. ST47, please consider restoring Bellwether's comment. Bellwether, please keep calm in any response - if you were going to be calm anyway, I apologise for wrongly pre-empting you. Carcharoth (talk) 12:17, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm finished with him. I'm not angry, but this is just ludicrous. Not only does he refuse to see reason on this issue, but he attacks others as "disruptive" (in his evidence) and "unhelpful" (here) for daring to question his use of the tools as a weapon in a dispute. Something has to be done about him. (For the record, I'll be restoring my comments shortly, as they were not "unhelpful" in the least.) Bellwether B  C  13:56, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * The vandal analogy doesn't really fit, and finding an uninvolved administrator shouldn't be hard– you seem to be an IRC regular, so it should be relatively easy to find one on there, if not, WP:AN/I and WP:AN are always available. The point I think that needs to be made is that you should never, under any circumstances, use your sysop privileges in a dispute that you're a party to. No matter how objective you feel you're capable of being, it will always look bad to outsiders when you do this. —Locke Cole • t • c 02:14, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * It doesn't just look bad, it is bad. And if he does it again, he should be blocked until he foreswears using his tools as weapons in a dispute. Call it a "witchhunt" all you want, it is what it is. All any of us has asked for you to do is promise not to do so again. Bellwether B  C  03:00, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * OK, guys, calm down and let him reply. No need to pile on the pressure. Carcharoth (talk) 12:04, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * And now, since Bellwether restored his comment (which for the record I think was fine, but seems to have upset ST47) I turn to ST47 and ask you (ST47) to not revert the re-addition of Bellwether's comment. You (ST47) can of course end the whole thread and archive it, but please just do that if you don't want to discuss this further. That would be the quickest way to end this, and would still send the signal that you don't want to discuss this with Bellwether, which I'm not entirely happy about, but is still your right.

Image Help
I wanted one of my Images (STBotI tagged it) checked and made sure that the copyright information is up to check, so I put a message on the bot and here so that I can get it checked ASAP. Here is a copy of the message I left STBotI:

You can also put an email in there. Save it to a file, extension .pl, and open a shell.

I kinda figured your image bot, and Carnlido (I hope I got the spelling right...)'s (which, can do DAB's I understand), and the other one which for the life of me I can't find so may very well be imaginary, coupled with BCBot, kinda eliminated the need for further image bots of that type right now.

Image tagging bot
I uploaded an image of an album cover a while ago, having checked the Fair Use Policy, and included justification for why it complied with the fair use policy. However, STBotl tagged it, and (seemingly) subsequently removed it, before I'd had the chance to respond to the initial tag. I'd thought it was ok, so I just wanted to check whether it was a misunderstanding on my part of the fair use policy. Thanks

Requests for arbitration/Betacommand 2
This arbitration case has been closed and the final decision is available at the link above. The remedies decided by the Arbitration Committee, viewable here, instruct Betacommand with regards to the operation of BetacommandBot, including placement of notifications and civility in replying to concerns raised about its operation. Betacommand is urged to be significantly more responsive to good-faith questions from users whose images he tags and either to respond directly to such questions, and also to develop an "opt-out" list for BetacommandBot without imposing conditions on its use.

All editors are advised that periodic review of images and other media to ensure their compliance with the non-free content criteria may be necessary for policy, ethical, and sometimes legal reasons, and are invited to participate in policy discussions concerning this and related areas. Editors are cautioned not to be abusive toward or make personal attacks against participants, including bot operators, engaged in this work. The community is also urged to re-examine our policies and practices for reviewing, tagging, and where necessary deleting images in light of experience gained since the policies and practices were previously developed, including the disputes underlying this case. The Committee listed five specific points in the specific remedy that they believe any review should attempt to cover.

The Committee expects that the disputes and disruption underlying this case will cease as a result of this decision. In the event of non-compliance or a continued pattern of disputes, further review by the Committee may be sought after a reasonable time. In such a review, the Committee may impose appropriate sanctions including but not limited to the revocation of any user's privilege to use automated tools such as bots and scripts, revocation of other privileges, topic bans, civility restrictions, or any other remedies needed to end the disruption. However, please note that nothing in this paragraph restricts the authority of administrators to take appropriate action to deal with any disruptive incidents that may occur.

Deleted Fruits Basket images
A comment about your deletion of a large number of images that were various Fruits Basket character articles. I fully understand, and agree with, the need for free use rationales and for using only essential non-free media. And, indeed, many of those were not essential -- and, in fact, I'm preparing to merge several of the affected articles into the list of characters, making images moot. But not all of them. It is extremely annoying that no notice that these images needed rationales was ever given in the articles, either by editing the captions or on the talk pages, thus giving interested editors the chance to provide valid fair-use rationales. Please, in the future, stongly consider giving your fellow editors due consideration. Or in other words, play nicely, eh? —Quasirandom (talk) 16:55, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

 * They may have been tagged, but pretty much no one but the original uploader watches an image. And since I wasn't the uploader, I don't have them to reupload. In other articles I've worked with, notifying the editors who work on it, somewhere in the article/talk page, has been SOP courtesy. —Quasirandom (talk) 19:08, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Rationale tagging issue
Hi. Some non-free images were incorrectly tagged as having no/invalid rationale on 21 April. I just looked at a few of the more than 500 images tagged yesterday and noticed these; there may be more mistagged images. Also, you did not reply to my 20 April message about mistagged book covers on User talk:STBotI, so here is a link to it in case you did not see my message on that busy page. All the best, Bláthnaid  13:12, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I haven't been looking at stbotI's page recently. I've fixed the problem in your first link, however 2 and 3 are valid taggings - the bot needs to see a link back to the page it's used on, not just a reference. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹoɟʇs (st47) 15:44, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * A wikilink to the article the image is used in is not required in WP:NFCC (it is just "recommended"). Editors who hand-write their fair use rationales often to not have a link to the article because the article name is in the header, and headers generally do not have wikilinks. The tag added to this image says that the rationale does not have "The name of each article in which fair use is claimed for the item", when it clearly does. I don't mean to pick on your bot, as the vast majority of tagging it does is accurate, but mis-tagging might whip up more of the drama about bots tagging images that has thankfully died down in recent weeks. Bláthnaid  16:03, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh wait, I've just noticed that there is a conflict in the wording in WP:NFCC ("The name of each article (a link to the articles is recommended as well)) "and the 2nd paragraph of Di-disputed fair use rationale, which says ("per WP:NFCC#10c, each fair-use rationale must include a link to the specific article in which fair use of the image is claimed") so that tagging is not your bot's fault. That's my mistake, so apologies!  Bláthnaid  16:11, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi, your bot tagged this image in error, I believe. I carefully examined the image page, and can't find any problems. Would you please take a look, and let me know if I missed something? If not, please remove the tag. Thanks, Pete Tillman (talk) 20:04, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I've never seen a rationale tag accept unnamed parameters like that. I've added a way for the bot to check for that way of doing it, however rest assured that the image is correct. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹoɟʇs (st47) 02:27, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

MfDbot possible additional duties
Ping. I've left a message for you at Wikipedia talk:Miscellany for deletion regarding the addition of a task for MfDBot. Thanks.--Doug.(talk • contribs) 20:12, 23 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Additionally, the bot is now removing the "old business" marker - why? Is this causing problems for the bot or something?--Doug.(talk • contribs) 03:02, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Looks like someone started using spaces in the headers for new sections, and the bot didn't expect that. Fixed. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹoɟʇs (st47) 18:40, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Awesome! --Doug.(talk • contribs) 21:21, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Undelete Pamlico 140, please
Hello, ST47, nice to talk to you. Okay, So my username is Pamlico 140. And I created a Page Named Pamlico 140. Your spam bot read it and blocked me from posting, and therefore i had to log off to write this message. I can see how the bot recognized it as a page about me, or about my beliefs and opinion. But please, I can Explain. You see, I am a devoted sea kayaker. i own a kayak called the "wilderness Systems Pamlico 140", Pamlico 140 is the model name (Like Camry, in toyota camry. it is my username because i am very fond of this kayak and It is my username for every website. I made a page for the Pamlico 140, and I was very neutral about it and it was an article about the kayak, not me. It simply stated facts, not opinions. At one point, some people changed it and put their opinions in it, but I fixed it. Also, your bot recognized it as an advertisement, and heres why thats unlogical- There are hundreds of articles on individual car models, just like my article of an individual kayak model. So if the "Subaru Legacy" page is not spam or an Ad, what makes "Pamlico 140" an ad or promotion. I did not intend to promote it. Please, if there is something unsatisfactory about it, tell me, and I'll try my best to correct the problem 64.136.26.201 (talk) 04:06, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Copyright forms for self-created images

I just received a message from one of your bots (STBotI) - copied below. I tried filling the necessary forms several times and I have specified that I took the pictures myself. I have read the instructions and followed them as close as I could. If there is something wrong with the forms, tell me how I should do it. Thanks. - Wikifulchemist.

Message left on userpage
I found this message on your userpage, so I've moved it here for you:


 * An article I created has been deleted or is going to be deleted because of being "not needed". It involves a poet, soon-to-be-published one. Is that :not important enough for Wiki, or what's going on? Ps. Sorry if the means of contact was wrong, I'm new to Wikipedia..Carablea (talk) 18:33, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Loretta Lynn albums
I noticed what you had said about the fair use rationales on the album covers. I explained it more with a new rationale on all of her pages. Please this new one is a much better rationale and leave it at that. Finding information for old albums isn't exactly easy and I can't possible know every single detail of the album, but there is enough information there explaining that it won't take away any rights of the wonder or copyright. I am very tired and need to rest since it its 10:43 PM and I need to sign out soon, so please respond back after you get this. Gracias. Dottiewest1fan (talk) 02:44, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Fritzl article
Hi. I noticed that you;ve set the Fritzl article to full protected. Would you consider putting it on semi? (which was apparently all that was requested in the first place). It's still a major, developing story, with new information emerging every day.--Redirectorial (talk) 05:33, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi, would you mind downgrading to semi? Thats all that is needed and full is out of scope for this. Lawrence Cohen §  t / e  06:11, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I've asked for more opinions at ANI. I'm not saying your in the wrong as such, but fully-protecting IMO is a little too much. D.M.N. (talk) 07:06, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

I do not think I'm responsible for that mistake. It looks like a bad joke. Or worse, Vandalism. Is it possible for someone else to be using my IP? --Ludvikus (talk) 21:40, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Image:Hyland redslide.jpg
Hi, I added this image (Image:Hyland redslide.jpg) and later found it in the Wikipedia commons, so I didn't put the proper copyright status on it. I want the image deleted (but not from the commons). Could you help me out? Thanks! --Kaitlin510 (talk) 12:51, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
