There was a request at Wikipedia talk:Picture of the day#Why don't we have a bot create the protected version? to have a bot create the protected templates, and a bot is now in trial to do so. However, it can't prove that it works if you create the protected template before it gets a chance to. ;) The bot is currently set to create the page daily at 22:00 UTC, about 2 hours before it's supposed to go up on WP:Main Page/Tomorrow, for pages from now until Template:POTD protected/2017-02-09. Thanks. Anomie ⚔ 16:48, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
I'd like to reinstate that "nominated for deletion" tag, seeing as the enwiki copy should be moved over if the file is kept or a "deleted on commons" tag added if the other file is deleted. Jo-Jo Eumerus ( talk, contributions) 16:52, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
Hi Armbrust,
Just to let you know, the Featured Picture File:Clanculus corallinus 01.JPG is scheduled to be Picture of the Day on February 13, 2016. If you get a chance, you can check and improve the caption at Template:POTD/2017-02-13. Thank you for all of your contributions! — Chris Woodrich ( talk) 02:07, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for your anniversary message to me!
You may have noticed that WP:CFDWR is no longer being processed by Cydebot, despite multiple requests on Cyde's talk page. I have emailed Cyde and received no response so far, so he may be on holiday, but I suspect he has lost interest in this specific functionality. As it does not require admin rights to run this task, is it something that your bot could take on, regularly?
In case you are not familiar with this sub-page, editors make a bulleted list of categories where there was a Keep (or No consensus) decision, and the bot removes the CFD template, with an edit summary along the lines of "CFD discussion closed as Keep". – Fayenatic L ondon 14:28, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
Please would you review my revisions to Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Working/Retain/Instructions? – Fayenatic L ondon 10:28, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
Could you please have a look at the tree of Category:Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic. Do you think that Category:1960s in the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic and its subcategories are eligible for speedy merge? Marcocapelle ( talk) 09:29, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
I'm thinking of converting Wikipedia:Featured pictures thumbs into a landing page for the several groups of featured thumbs, possibly while displaying the current group of thumbs on the landing page. The reason for me thinking/wanting to do this is because the group pages are not subpages of the main page (which is currently a redirect.), so the "Group ##" pages would probably become subpages of the parent page as part of this. Any thoughts/suggestions on this? Steel1943 ( talk) 22:38, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
Hi Armbrust,
Just to let you know, the Featured Picture File:Mahr Micromar 40A 0–25 mm Micrometer.jpg is scheduled to be Picture of the Day on March 10, 2017.

Any chance you could remove your opposition to the Farsley Celtic one, seeing as it wasn't a recent move? Cheers, Number 5 7 12:15, 16 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi, Armbrust, not long ago an image I proposed for feature picture was promoted, but I still don't see a tag on the image itself saying that it is now considered a featured picture, nor did I get a notice on my talk page that the image passed muster. Am I missing something?? Please let me know. Thanks! KDS4444 ( talk) 22:00, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

Hello Armbrust! Is there a reason that you have stopped writing the featured content section of The Signpost. I maintain my stated principal of only editing FC when no one else steps up to do it. There are many other things I could be working on. If you don't mind, or want to write the featured content, please do. If you don't, do you have any suggestions for me/the next person who writes it, on how to do the featured content better? Thank you. Eddie891 Talk Work 16:14, 2 September 2017 (UTC)
Hi, you recently reverted my edit at WP:GO because it caused a problem with one of your scripts.
Is
User:Armbrust/closeFPC.js the script you are using? It appears to be an easy fix — have your GOpage = GOpage.replace(...);
line look for ====
level 4 headers instead of '''
bold.
