Bangalore Town Hall
Hi, I am looking for a home for File:Sir Puttanna Chetty Town Hall Bangalore.jpg. Do you have any idea where it could be placed? Could you whip out an article for the town hall? --Muhammad (talk) 14:40, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Status of your bot
Is it retired? On a long sabbatical? You may consider marking it inactive and removing it from the type-of-bot categories. –xenotalk 17:27, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Wikiproject Running
We are trying to convert over to the article assessment/importance model of maintaining data in the talk page templates and understand that your bot can generate the appropriate categories: WikiProject name - Running Template Name - Running project WikiProject abbreviation - running WikiProject category - The parent category for the assessment categories (without the Category: prefix). None Parent project name - For use with taskforces. It will add the parent category. Leave empty for root projects. None Classes supported - The classes supported by the project banner. - We are still working on the template, but will support the standard set of assessment and importance classes Options - Priority or Importance = both? Thanks, Racepacket (talk) 18:23, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I will create them myself. Racepacket (talk) 03:12, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Mukesh
Currently, the wiki link Mukesh points to the page of the Bollywood singer Mukesh. So a lot of Malayalam articles point to the wrong page of Mukesh. Is it possible that the link Mukesh point to Mukesh (disambiguation) and we can add a link in this disambiguation page for Mukesh (singer)?

The same applies for similar links Soman, Bhavana, etc. --Sreejith K (talk) 11:11, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Adoption?
I was adopted recently, but it turns out my adopter was a sockpuppet. :( I saw your name on the Adopt-a-User Page, and was wondering... Can you adopt me? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rin tin tin 1996 (talk • contribs) 00:35, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.
