Hello: Some time ago you commented about how Smackbot was clearing up the backlog. ( Category talk:Biography articles without listas parameter#A little progress) I see the number is back up to 60k. How bots work is quite a mystery to me – they seem like incantations. So I surmise that Smackbot takes the defaultsort data on the article page and converts it to listas data on the talk page WikiProject Biography banner. If this is the case, how can Smackbot be reactivated to perform the task. (I'm also asking Jim Cubb to help.) Thanks. – S. Rich ( talk) 19:04, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi Rich, I notice you have changed BCE to BC. I realise this is to some extent a matter of taste (see Common Era). My reasoning for BCE is that the usage of the BCE/CE notation in textbooks and by academics is growing; it seems to be widely used in Wikipedia; and it respects the use of the Christian calendar by non-Christians. I dont have time to change all the BCEs in my various articles to BC and nor would I wish to. It would be a nice gesture, as I am the major author of this article, if you would respect my original wishes. Thanks. Granitethighs 02:41, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
Hi, I have recently expanded and rewritten the Polandball article at Draft:Polandball. I have also requested undeletion of the original article (that should never have been deleted in the first place) at Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2014_August_6. I am leaving you this message as you seem like a nice bloke, plus I've noticed your comic on Commons :) 185.49.15.25 ( talk) 07:29, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
Hi, I'm still in london, and need to sort out, among other things, how on *earth* I'm going to get all my wikimania swag across the channel.
So I am speed-reading. Please imagine I used my [citation needed] stamp all across the below, since I still need to check *everything*, and one small detail might send me down another branch of the tree.
Braindumping the current graph_in_my_head to text:
State of the universe:
proposed course of action:
first conclusions:
Ergo: Petitioning arbcom is not a valid first move. :-/
What would be a valid move might be to get bot editing policies re-examined.
However, modifying policy post ~2010 can be very hard. I have not examined current policy yet.
So that's my current brain-state-dump; I may reload it later and modify it to more accurately and precisely reflect reality.

It was good to catch up over dinner during Wikimania. I am unsure whether I feel better or worse about the culture on the English Wikipedia, but it was enjoyable bouncing ideas around. Fæ ( talk) 10:28, 12 August 2014 (UTC) |
Hi Rich. Just wanted to say hello too. We briefly met on the Saturday evening and had a discussion about tractors and old British car companies. Nice to meet some Wikipedians in the flesh. Cheers, Number 5 7 21:52, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
Rich, you may want to have a look at this - it looks indeed like you !voted twice in the section, #33 and #42 (but I may be mistaken). Best -- Dirk Beetstra T C 03:46, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
Hello Rich Farmbrough,
I've been trying to use Template:Weather box in an article but I need help with calculations for the monthly "Record High" and "Record Low". Will appreciate if you could assist me. Thanks. Stanleytux ( talk) 20:51, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
Note that record temperatures should be used sparingly in main city articles, and should only be used when the data period is of the greatest length possible.

Hi Richard. I enjoyed having a catch-up dinner with you at Wikimania, you viewpoint is always intelligent and illuminating.
I am thinking of writing a short statement against any sanction in the above clarification request, on the basis that Arbcom members would find it much more productive and enlightening to take time to have a 5 minute chat with you on a Google hangout about perceived problems with automation, or the assertions of an (apparent) form of meat-puppetry, rather than making a weeks long time-wasting legal case out of it. I really don't see at this point how years of sanctions, bans, and endless negativity are in the least bit helpful for the community, or in any way harness your talent and creativity for this project.
Drop me an email if you would like to discuss it before I commit stylus to tablet.
