Could you please fix EdoBot to not add the incorrect "Aramis (Künstler)" German link to the "aramis" article? http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Aramis&diff=435675345&oldid=prev -- 50.46.67.26 ( talk) 04:16, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
Hi EdoDodo, there seems to be something wrong with your bot. One, when I was trying to make a request, it didn't redirect me to confirm it, and I'm not sure how. Then each time I either verify or delete one, it says "User is blocked", which I don't know what it is regarding to. -- Nascar1996 ( talk • contribs) 20:23, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
Looks like this is an issue with cronsub
(a command I use to add the bot to a list of things that should be run as soon as server resources are available when you press the Run bot option) not working due to a missing configuration file. I've filed
a bug report so the Toolserver admins can sort out the problem, and in the meantime I've done a bit of a workaround so the bot should be working again. Let me know if there's any problems. -

I just noticed this is a brand new bot (according to revision history). Can you give me any indication as to how often you will run it? Just wondering how long I can expect the process to take. Thanks! -- TimL ( talk) 09:33, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
I see you have tagged List of U.S. National Monuments as part of wp:PAREAS and have tagged of them individually. Please do not tag all listed National Monuments as that. There are a good number of National Monuments that are urban and/or otherwise not at all natural. National does not equal Natural. -- do ncr am 03:31, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
I saw your bot tagged Out of the Dark (2010 novel) for WP:WikiProject Horror. The tag says "This article has been automatically rated by a bot or other tool because one or more other projects use this class." I do not understand why this article was tagged, nor do I understand the explanation sentence. Could you please help me? And yes, I write because I think the tag was added incorrectly.

Why did you change the assessment from C to start? Vegaswikian ( talk) 18:31, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
I was going to submit a requst for your bot to assess some articles but I'm not sure if its capable of the task so I thought I would ask. Several US related wikiprojects are going to be supported by WikiProject United States. Here is a summery of the task that needs to be done:
Please let me know if you this is something that can be done. We currently have 4 projects with more being added in the future. -- Kumioko ( talk) 19:53, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
{{WikiProject West Virginia|class=start|importance=low}}
would be replaced with
{{WikiProject United States|class=start|importance=low|WV=yes|WV-importance=low}}
{{WikiProject United States|class=start|importance=low|USSL=yes|USSL-importance=low}}
then it could apply the WV (or other project) at the end of the US banner string like this
{{WikiProject United States|class=start|importance=low|USSL=yes|USSL-importance=low|WV=yes|WV-importance=[whatever the importance is for the West Virginia project]}}
I hope this helps and thank you for your help. -- Kumioko ( talk) 14:26, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
Okay, so I've started work on the code and as I was working on it thought of another question. For choosing the class to give the article: I assume you would want the class of the projects you support to have priority over both auto-stub and inheriting from other projects, correct? Also, what about if two projects you support assess the article with a different class, how should the bot proceed? Should it use the highest one, the lowest, or simply leave it blank? - EdoDodo talk 17:43, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
Alright, I've changed it so that the task-force parameter is added after the other ones. Yup, I've tested it when there's already a task-force present, here's a sample edit: [2] - EdoDodo talk 21:08, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
Looks like things are going fairly smoothly. I haven't noticed any more malfunctions, although I've only been spot-checking and haven't reviewed every single edit made by the bot. It should be done with the South Carolina and West Virginia articles later today. When you've got consensus from the other WikiProjects to do the same thing, let me know and I'll do it for the other projects as well. - EdoDodo talk 14:20, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
Per our discussion above. Here are two that are good to go with links to the appropriate discussions.
Assessment run.
The below projects were recently added to the United States template by someone who feels they are inactive or semiactive. I left messages on all the project pages and contacted every active member of each project around August 3rd - 5th for their input but most of the editors are passive members of the projects only. Since many of these projects have had almost no activity on the talk pages with regards to any discussions left there we may not see much activity and it may just end up being a waiting game to give them a chance to make comments if they want too.
There may be another group of projects including a few more states in the next month or 2 but after that we should be done. Please let me know if you have any questions and thanks again for all the help. -- Kumioko ( talk) 14:54, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
Alright, I'll wait a couple of days so that if anyone has any complaints about this run, or noticed any mistakes that I missed, they can report them before I get started on the other projects. - EdoDodo talk 19:30, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
Bot had a few issues with projects using multi-line settings. Should be sorted now but keeping bot under supervision for the moment. - EdoDodo talk 15:52, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
Okay, restarting it now. - EdoDodo talk 12:17, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
I don't want to overtax your bot or burn you out so feel free to decline this request but I was wondering if you would be interested in a couple more tasks for your bot. Here are a couple that I would like to look at doing in the future if your interested.
Thanks again for all your help. -- Kumioko ( talk) 16:02, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
Regarding the articles that the bot missed. If you take a look at this category Category:United States articles with deprecated tags I think you should catch most of them. -- Kumioko ( talk) 20:06, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
The Texas Revolution Texas_Revolution was "botted" to change from "American Old West" to "US Old West." The 1836 Revolution was of Mexico, not the US; so American was correct and US is not.-- cregil (talk) 16:07, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
Could you please take a look at Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard#General notice to bot owners about edit summaries and see if the suggestions might apply to your bot? Feel free to add your own suggestions and comments there too. Headbomb { talk / contribs / physics / books} 21:03, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
I recentely left some notices on a user talk page recently welcomed by WelcomerBot. Because of the code used in the welcome message, there appears to be open templates causing the subsequent messages to be too difficult to read. See User talk:Dtmarc. I tried to fix the problem, but the code in the welcome message was too complex for me to identify the problem... Singularity42 ( talk) 14:12, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
Please see User talk:Xeno#Delivery request. CT Cooper · talk 13:34, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on User talk:Seo.bidur, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. mabdul 12:27, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
