Can you please program your bot to manage {{EmptySection}}? Many people who use that tag do not specify the section number, so I was asking if you would be able to program your bot to do it automatically. The template is supposed to be used like this: {{Emptysection|date=DATE|section=SECTION NUMBER}}, but most people put it like this: {{EmptySection}} or {{EmptySection|date=DATE}}. -- IRP ☎ 12:16, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Red balloon leanrer centres logo.gif. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

Hi there, I am Dr Karl Shuker and am concerned about the comments lately added to the Wikipedia article re me that have been left by user TheRedPenOfDoom immediately prior to your own tiding-up editing, especially as that user's user page has been repeatedly deleted recently. Does this mean that he/she has been responsible for attack pages? It certainly seems that my article has been the subject of attacks by this person as their comments do not seem justified. This user has claimed that the article re me needs to be more neutral, yet I cannot see anywhere where neutrality has not been maintained. Simiarly, the user states that citations and references are required, but to which sections of the article? All details re my books have the full reference to the books in question given, and my own website, cited at the bottom of the article, contains all of the info in the article. This article has existed in this same basic form for almost three years without anyone suggesting any such changes, so I would be grateful to receive any advice, explanations, or other information that you could offer. Obviously, I would be totally happy to make any changes to the article that seeem reasonable and justified, but I am presently baffled as to how I can go about this, faced by the criticisms levelled at the article by user TheRedPenOfDoom, so your advice would be very greatly appreciated. Thank you very much, Dr Karl P.N. Shuker, user czbiker Czbiker ( talk) 22:07, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
Following my earlier message about the changes recently made to the Karl Shuker article about me by user TheRedPenOf Doom, I've just realised that this person has removed considerable sections of the article, reducing it to a stub, yet has remarked that the article needs to be more encyclopaedic! Yet the sections removed by him/her are the very ones that describe in detail my contributions via my books to the subject of cryptozoology! Moreover, even the full publishing reference details to books that I have acted as consultant or contributor have been removed by him/her. Consequently, I shall add them back to the article, and would greatly value your views as to what has bene happening here and also what needs to be done to improve this article. Many thanks, Dr Karl Shuker Czbiker ( talk) 22:50, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Hello
The story about Chioma Ansoh is a untrue. She has sued The Mirror Newspaper in Nigeria and has refuted the story on several occassions and in Thisday Newspaper ,Nigeria. The Nigerian customs has also denied the allegations. She has never been charged for any such thing neither has she ever been arrested. She has never had an abortion for any man and is not Femi Fani-Kayode's girlfriend. This story is libellous and defamatory. I strongly advise that the story should be removed.

You may be pleased to know I've removed this article from the orphan status you (or rather, your bot) set two months ago. I accidentally happened upon it today on a "What links here" search while considering a move of the "Through the Years" song page (others have also written songs using the title); I found the page in the search. Kenny Rogers' discography now links to it. =)

Hello. I need a bot for something, and since User:SmackBot is affected by my plans either way, I figured I'd ask you directly. :) Per the recent TfD debate, I proposed to let a bot automatically remove the recent death template after one week from the articles it's being added to. So I need a bot (preferably yours) to do that. Additionally, I need the bot to add a new "day" parameter to the templates (in addition to the "date" parameter that's already being added) if it's not already added by the user, so the bot knows when a week is over. At least that's my idea. If your bot could remove the template after one week without any additional parameters, that would be even better, of course, but I don't know if that is even possible. -- Conti| ✉ 16:40, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

I have a "newbie" question about a page that I added: Melissa Bellin. Her page had been deleted twice in the past, and now there is the following notation listed on it: "This article may not meet the general notability guideline or one of the following specific guidelines for inclusion on Wikipedia: Biographies, Books, Companies, Fiction, Music, Neologisms, Numbers, Web content, or several proposals for new guidelines. If you are familiar with the subject matter, please expand or rewrite the article to establish its notability. The best way to address this concern is to reference published, third-party sources about the subject. If notability cannot be established, the article is more likely to be considered for redirection, merging, or deletion, per Wikipedia:Guide to deletion."
My question is: how is it that her page is subject to deletion once already, and possible future deletion for "lack of notability"? How is she less notable than any of the other Nitro Girls who have their own pages? She was as popular, if not more, than any of the other Nitro Girls, in fact she was the choreographer for the group. I find it discouraging that pages get deleted for reasons that apparently have to do with the "deleter"'s personal dislike of the person the page is about. It makes me doubt whether I'll be making any more "contributions" to the Wiki project, due to there being people who have nothing better to do all day than to delete pages that they simply don't like, instead of making edits or notations that would improve the page.

{{Infobox Settlement |population_total = 72,208{{Fact|date=November 2008}} }}
You know more about bots and editing than anyone else I know, so I've got my fingers crossed that you can help me. If you don't have time, I completely understand. Perhaps you can at least point me in the right direction.
Can you use one of your bots, or create one, to pull a piece of data from one set of pages and place it on another set of pages?
What I've got are two items on a bunch of pages that need to be filled in.
One is
"Population: "
And the other is
"Size: "
These need to be filled in on the pages listed at User:The Transhumanist/Country list. The items to be filled in are in the "Geography of x" section (where "x" is the name of the respective country).
A few of them are already filled in. (I hope that doesn't present any problems).
The data is located in the infobox on the corresponding country articles.
Is this something you could do?
If so, it would sure save a lot of man hours. I don't currently have access to a machine upon which I could use macros or learn and apply Python, and I'd really like to avoid having to do these chores manually.
I requested bot approval at Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Worldbot and was told that these tasks don't need bot approval - we can just go ahead and create and use bots on 'em.
The desired format for the data is presented at Topic outline of Algeria#Geography of Algeria, Topic outline of France#Geography of France and Topic outline of Germany#Geography of Germany.
I look forward to your reply.

The data is located in the infobox on the corresponding country articles.
Is this something you could do?
If so, it would sure save a lot of man hours. I don't currently have access to a machine upon which I could use macros or learn and apply Python, and I'd really like to avoid having to do these chores manually.
I requested bot approval at Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Worldbot and was told that these tasks don't need bot approval - we can just go ahead and create and use bots on 'em.
The desired format for the data is presented at Topic outline of Algeria#Geography of Algeria, Topic outline of France#Geography of France and Topic outline of Germany#Geography of Germany.
I look forward to your reply.

I'm getting notices about the page needing this, need that, needing internal links (has them), wanting grammar changes etc. Yet, with nothing specific all it doesn't help much and is a bit annoying. I'm new to wikipedia, but not technical writing (which the article is) so could you point me in the right direction to keep these thing from popping up?.
I appreciate the help.
