It has to be said, the response from certain people towards this exemplifies the very reason why the world is covered from an American or British viewpoint on wikipedia. That they cannot possibly comprehend that there are towns with thousands in in places all around the world that are not "encyclopedic". It disappoints me severely that people have this kind if bias, there is something very wrong if they think an article created by a bot about a places in America with 3 people is accpetable but that which creates an article with hundreds or thousands in the developing world is not. I don't know about you, but if we could have 2 million articles like Agnam-Goly eventually, the sort of places which will be created by the bot I think this encyclopedia would be extremely improved, and this shows that is actually possible. 2 million is actually only proprtion of what exists. For instance India has 28,000 google maps, yet there are actualy 638,000 settlements in India. So even this proportion of settlements is being disregarded. It makes we wonder why people think it is a positive thing to ignore 95% of the world whether they are stubs or not. Some people seem to be under the delusion that every article on wikipedia is currently massively developed. ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦     $1,000,000? 10:51, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
 * And that is why many more people hang out at the AN than actual content editors. Mr. Pepys, would you like to help the bald guy and myself with the dabbing of articles so the Bot can create them? Since you are evidently interested in the topic, I would love to help you along with Wikipedia! I'm an Editorofthewiki[citation needed] 13:30, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't know exactly what 'dabbing' is but I'll take a shot at it. --Samuel Pepys (talk) 19:26, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
 * It's short for disambiguration. The info is at WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles/Places. I'm an Editorofthewiki[citation needed] 19:29, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia, Samuel Pepys! I have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on or by typing helpme at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on, or place helpme on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome! Red Thunder 11:43, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

 * An infinite blocking seems like a long time as I have complied with each request made so far. The code is freeware and is approved according to the proper channels. The bots block seems to be more connected to the owners edits and not its programming. --Samuel Pepys (talk) 01:37, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 * But you are running an unapproved bot? Did you just take LemmeyBOT code and use it under your account? Even if it's previously approved code, you need approval for the new bot account.  --Stephen 01:52, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Well I will chalk this one up to an ill worded policy. If we're licensing the users of bots, and not the bots it should be called the bot user policy/approvals group and not the bot policy/approvals group. I hope this misunderstanding hasn't disrupted the project too much. Lastly, it seems that I have exhausted all reasonable measures of mediation here. I'll be back later, after my infinite block expires (I wonder if Wikipedia is planning some kind of nuclear powered spacecraft to live up to its SLA on that. The sun going supernova might disrupt terrestrial servers.) TTFN --Samuel Pepys (talk) 04:15, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 * It's the account that has to have the bot flag set if it's making bot edits. But at the end of the day, the block was preventative, so if you are now educated per the policy, and will get the requisite permissions, and cease use of the bot in the meantime, than an unblock is in order.  I'll check with the blocking admin to ensure there are no other issues. --Stephen 05:09, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Stop
Please stop editing User:Theeuro/sandbox/€2 commemorative coins common. It is my user page and should not be touched without prior consent from me as a common courtesy. Cheers. The € • T/C 06:43, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Adding to the above comment, is there any reason why you have been editing my user subpage User:Amatulic/drafts? That bunch of text has already been incorporated into the Zinfandel article. If you want to fix something, fix it there, not on my user subpage. Generally you shouldn't be touching user pages without invitation. Thanks. ~Amatulić (talk) 18:32, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
