16:00, 3 March 2012 (UTC) updaate by DYKUpdateBot
FYI,

DYKUpdateBot did not perform its scheduled 16:00, 3 March 2012 (UTC) update. If you get a chance, please take a look to see if there are any outstanding issues. --Allen3 talk 17:57, 3 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Willow (the server DYKUpdateBot runs on) ran out of memory. Bot restarted. (Sorry for the delay, in the middle of hosting a multi-day event.) Shubinator (talk) 23:51, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

DYK 4th March 2012
William Bloomfield Douglas is cited has having a DYK entry on 4th March, however, it does not appear on the DYK recent additions list. Shipsview (talk) 11:42, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
 * The Recent additions page lists them by the time (UTC) they were removed from the DYK template. The Douglas hook appears in the last set under 5 March. M AN d ARAX  •  XAЯA b ИA M  18:51, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Yup, Mandarax is right. Thanks Mandarax! Shubinator (talk) 23:04, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you - must have been inside the time lapse. Shipsview (talk) 11:28, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

DYK update bot failed
to update at 0 UTC 10 March (and I missed that too, Orlady updated manually). Materialscientist (talk) 04:12, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Some other bot functions are also not getting done. Did you know/DYK hook count has not updated in several hours. --Orlady (talk) 04:25, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Willow (the Toolserver server) got rebooted unexpectedly around 9 hours ago. Hopefully Toolserver maintenance this week will fix these issues... (Oh, and I've restarted both bots.) Shubinator (talk) 06:02, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

DYKcheck and page moves
DYKcheck appears to no longer detect moves from userspace. I assume this is because the format of the edit summary when making a move has changed. The edit summary used to be in the form "moved oldfilename to newfilename[: reason]" and now it's "Username moved page oldfilename to newfilename&#x5B;: reason&#x5D;". DYK reviewers often miss such moves, so DYKcheck pointing them out is quite useful. M AN d ARAX •  XAЯA b ИA M  09:23, 23 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Yup, that would do it. I'll try to fix it by Monday. Thanks for letting me know! Shubinator (talk) 13:46, 23 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Fixed. Sorry for the delay, unexpected stuff came up this weekend. Thanks again :) Shubinator (talk) 02:55, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for fixing that. Now I have a related request. It would be nice if DYKcheck could also handle . For example, a user initially disapproved an article, stating that it was "over 104 days old". This surely indicates that he did use DYKcheck, which does not mention the page move. M AN d ARAX  •  XAЯA b ИA M  23:17, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Sounds reasonable, I'll put it on my to-do list. Shubinator (talk) 00:03, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

DYK bot apparently failed
A DYK update was due 10 minutes ago, but the bot hasn't shown up yet. Can you kick it to make it happen? (Otherwise, we can do a manual update.) --Orlady (talk) 19:19, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Doing... Shubinator (talk) 19:25, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Done. Bot's output doesn't show anything unusual...it just seems to have stopped working... Shubinator (talk) 19:28, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks much! Your bot work is wonderful. I'm afraid we take it for granted until something stops working. --Orlady (talk) 19:50, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks :) Yeah, it's doing a good job of being an "invisible hand", and something goes wrong often enough that the regulars know the bot exists :P Shubinator (talk) 21:05, 24 March 2012 (UTC)


 * The bot is stuck again! Please re-start. Thanks. --70.31.8.76 (talk) 15:08, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Doing. Shubinator (talk) 15:13, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Done. Looks like Toolserver connectivity issues again... Shubinator (talk) 15:18, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

DYKHousekeepingBot has stopped work
No updates to Wikipedia:Did you know/DYK hook count in the last 18-19 hours. --Orlady (talk) 14:19, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Restarted. Looks like willow ran out of memory... Shubinator (talk) 14:28, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

It's happened again. No action in the last 8 hours. --Orlady (talk) 03:51, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Restarted. This time looks like connectivity issues between Toolserver and Wikipedia. Thanks for the notice! Shubinator (talk) 04:50, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

George Rathmann
With this recent death of this native Milwaukeean, I found the impulse to create a stub about him irresistible. I hope you will have a look and help improve it, since you've worked on ICOS. There are several articles online about him, as well as an extensive oral history interview (not, alas, online). -- Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  14:57, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for letting me know! I'd thought of creating the article before, but didn't find the time. I'll keep it on my radar :) Shubinator (talk) 15:45, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
