Discussion
A few concerns: I look forward to your answers. – Quadell (talk) 16:16, 6 May 2009 (UTC) -- Chris  08:55, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Instead of leaving a message on article talkpages, I believe it should add deletable image-caption to the image captions. And if you don't, SamBot will do it.
 * How are you getting your list of uncategorized images? Does the automatic inclusion of Category:Wikipedia files with unknown copyright status mean that the bot won't check an image with nld already on it?
 * About how many images currently do not have categories?
 * I think the message on the talkpage gets a better response but ok I'll change it to that
 * It gets them from a database query so yes images already tagged with nld will not be included
 * I think about ~1400

(For each image there will be multiple edits -- the image itself, the uploader's talkpage, and then any articles.) – Quadell (talk) 15:18, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Did you mean to replace spaces in the image name with underbars? (example) – Quadell (talk) 13:53, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Also, you seem to have a problem with links in captions. (example) – Quadell (talk) 13:55, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Both bugs are now fixed. -- Chris  08:21, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Great, let's try another batch. – Quadell (talk) 12:16, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Still problems:, , , , ... roughly one in 6 edits seems to be in error. Please go over all edits carefully to find and fix bugs. – Quadell (talk) 15:11, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok I've fixed #1 (hopefully for good).

Any thoughts on possible solutions to the subst problem? -- Chris  11:56, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
 * #2 the tag was {{Non-free stamp}, it would be possible to make the bot allow this however the tag still wouldn't display correctly (actually it might be possible to make the bot correct these tags)
 * #3 the tag was subst'd - might be possible to make the bot look for things like {{imbox and [[Image:Heckert GNU white.svg|52px|GFDL]] but it won't be full proof
 * #4 again subst'd (might be possible to get the bot to look for comments like as well)
 * #5 - should be fixed
 * Ok, I've updated it so that the bot won't tag any images with an image embedded on the page. This should avoid the subst problem since majority of copyright tags have an image in them. -- Chris  11:34, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * So I assume this won't happen anymore either? – Quadell (talk) 12:30, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes. -- Chris  12:35, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

{{BotApproved}} Great. – Quadell (talk) 12:55, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
