I have previously requested that you stop your bot posting in my name. Don't do it again, I don't like it. If you want your bot to post stuff, then do it in your name, not other people's. Or, get people's permission first. Preferably, write a script allowing people to opt out of the messages completely. I much prefer to contact people in my own time and own way. Your messages appear like spam. They notify people before I'm ready. And they post even when I have already posted. Please sort it out. It's bloody annoying.

I've been using your rescaled images script (which is a fantastic update to drilnoth's by the way, thank you!) but it sometimes removes an extra line which means that it breaks the formatting below if there is another template above the {{non-free reduced}}. Some examples [22] [23] [24] [25] [26]. As you can see, this breaks the formatting on the level 2 header. Any chance of a fix? Hopefully it's as simple as adding a line break or something but I have no coding knowledge beyond Wikicode. Thanks very much, James086 Talk 15:20, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
Looks like the bot is editing while logged out [28]. -- NeilN talk to me 02:30, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for protecting the page. However, a user from the IP 195.132.58.181 (Ile de France, exactly where the subject of the article lives) just reverted all the editing work done - reverted it back to the version that was sourced primarily to - the bio blurbs authored by the subject. Would you please have a look at the page when you are able? Thanks CammieD ( talk) 23:16, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

I think you did wikiusers a disservice by taking down the page for Bill Chott, a former announcer for the popular Saturday Night Live program, veteran of dozens of major motion pictures and television programs, and someone who's name is referenced in several other articles. You said there was a lack of reliable sources. Here are some that seem reliable to me. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0159273/?ref_=nv_sr_1 http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20364394_20539988,00.html http://www.fandango.com/billchott/filmography/p377853 http://www.rottentomatoes.com/celbrity/bill_chott/

Hi Lego, awesome script. I've run into what might be a bug with it though. I'm using Chrome, and the script is deleting old revision(s) but not removing the template (I do get the template telling me that it's been removed though). Any ideas?

Legobot appears to have stopped working after 15:00, 17 March 2014 (UTC); it last updated the GAN page at 12:32 that day. If you could please restart the bot as soon as you see this, that would be great. Many thanks! BlueMoonset ( talk) 14:44, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

Please consider a WP:Revdel per "Grossly insulting, degrading, or offensive material that has little/no encyclopedic or project value and/or violates our biographies of living people policy. This includes slurs, smears, and grossly offensive material of little or no encyclopedic value" of Xi Jinping version of 08:12, 25 March 2014 by 218.188.210.142 — warning NSFW picture substituted for this public official's picture. Sincerely, Anomalocaris ( talk) 22:00, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
Hey. So the list I was hoping for is all pages in the file namespace that are members of Category:Items with OTRS permission confirmed and not members of Category:Wikipedia files on Wikimedia Commons for which a local copy has been requested to be kept. Thanks! Sven Manguard Wha? 01:15, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
Someone spotted that yesterday's TFA wasn't given move protection (and nothing after the TFA on 25th March has had been protected) - is the bot gone for good or just on holiday? Thanks,
