Could you please tell the RFC-bot that she should send the messages not to "User talk:Night of the Big Wind" but to User talk:The Banner? Thanks in advance. The Banner talk 15:33, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
Someone who was unqualified stared the review. I asked an administrator to delete the review, which I think they did. I noticed that in the nomination page that it still showed as under review by example/unknown. I removed this, but the GA bot put it back with this edit. Can you please clear this up so that someone can start a new review? BollyJeff | talk 12:52, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi Chris,
Because botclasses.php is getting large and ugerly, and it looks to have a fair bit of 'legacy' (i.e. no-longer-used) code in it, I've started rebuilding a set of PHP classes for bot usage on-wiki.
I expect this to take me quite a long time as I'm early-on in getting familiar with PHP. I'd like to think, if nothing else, you might want to snarf the curl class I've put together in here: https://github.com/Brian-McNeil/NewsieBot-WikiInterface
One thing I noticed knocking a few 'quick-and-dirty' bot processes together with botclasses.php was needing to send an excessive number of requests to get information that could have been pulled all in a single request. I'm of the opinion Perl is "transmission line noise" masquerading as code, and I want to make any bot code look as-simple as the test_one.php program in the above repository. If you, and the other folks who've worked on botclasses.php to-date, are interested in getting a more up-to-date framework together, I'm happy to grant commit access. I take it for granted that anyone with a few years PHP programming under their belt will find some of what I do awful, so no need to 'tiptoe' around saying I've done something badly. Point is to make a more-easily maintained class, and set of extending classes, to handle usual bot functions.
I do have one question, relating to edit-conflict avoidance, am I reading API documentation etc correctly that this works off a timestamp? That seems insane; I'd expect it to work off a revision ID. Do you know if the MW devs are working towards implementing that, or if they need nudged in that direction? -- Brian McNeil / talk 17:50, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

so it would be nice if you could add me. Also, you might want to list your framework
hereThe most important functions would be (imo):
Less important (but still useful), are ones like: get page id, page history, user edit count and user contribs.
Also, at some point you'll probably think "hey, you know what would be nice? parsing wikitext!" and have images of a lovely DOM model where you can just go "$template = $page->getTemplate('infobox'); $template->getParam('DoB');". My advice is to sit down and wait until the urge passes (my other advise is, unless your dealing with very simple wikitext, don't use regex).

Hi Chris,
Since I posted the GAN theater, film, and drama section change proposal at Wikipedia talk:Good articles#.22Theatre.2C film and drama.22 section change proposal, I got some feedback. I think that the best course would be to rename the section, "Fiction media and drama" with subsections, "Film," "Television," "Theatre, dance and opera," and "Other media." And then change the "Media and journalism" section to "Non-fiction media and journalism." I believe these changes would provide more specificity to GA reviewers as well as nominators. Would this work? Thanks. -- Wikipedical ( talk) 20:19, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
Hey, I know you are the one who runs the GAbot. So, I am asking you those questions: There is a way we can have a list with all users that reviewed any article during each month and how many articles they reviewed? [Example: User:Hahc21/sandbox/ListGAMonth] A similar job is done by another bot when compiling the list of Wikipedians by number of edits. I hope you could help me at this. Thanks. — ΛΧΣ 21™ 05:57, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
