Steve you made me laugh to fall off my seat... not far to fall I realise now. Hope that goddess crown is a tall one (do they get crowns?) for the newly shortened moi, and thank you for the honor Sir Summit! Julia Rossi ( talk) 22:25, 22 January 2008 (UTC) : ))
The bot made a mistake and added the dates in the wrong order. Ariel. ( talk) 12:26, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
Hi there, are you online?
Also, do you use IRC?

The Help desk archives have had error links to the preceding and following month since August. I have just manually fixed it for August to February, for example [1]. PrimeHunter ( talk) 16:59, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
Fixed.
I have to admit I was gobsmacked to get your message—I've been assuming all along that you've got an admin bit.
If you ever decide to go through the sausage mill, you'll have my support. Cheers! TenOfAllTrades( talk) 04:27, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for your response on MECU's talk page. The guy is seriously ruining wikipedia. I'm trying to get more people to confront him. Jimmyjones22 ( talk) 12:53, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
Could Scsbot be modified to take care of other pages in addition to the Help Desk? What I have in mind is WP:PNT. --Blanchardb- Me• MyEars• MyMouth-timed 01:31, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Just drawing your attention to Wikipedia_talk:Reference_desk#Another_archival_problem - it's been fixed now but I gather this is your area of expertise, so I'll pretend to know how bots work - while actually trying to slip quitely away... Yours, Lord Foppington ( talk) 10:04, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
A
proposed deletion template has been added to the article
Lexington & Richland County School District Five, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's
criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "
What Wikipedia is not" and
Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{
dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on
its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Latiligence ( talk) 13:10, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
why the ACSR conductors are given the code words in the animal names —Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.1.255.17 ( talk) 08:18, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi Steve, I've been supporting a new article against deletion and was wondering if you could tell me when such an article is likely to be out of quarantine once it's been improved and met criteria etc because its creator would like it to go into noms for DYK on time, or do you have to wait for someone to announce the outcome in their own sweet time? Thanks for any advice, Julia Rossi ( talk) 23:18, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
Steve, I sometimes get lucky with DYK -- maybe it's about the catchy line, I dunno, but if you have an article you want to try out DYK for (even ACSR), let me know and I'll nominate it, you never know –– best Julia Rossi ( talk) 11:45, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Why is it that Scsbot always seems to lag behind several hours when adding date headers to Wikipedia:Help desk? Calvin 1998 ( t- c) 03:53, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
Hi Ummit, this is about as trivial of a niggling concern as they come. At least it may give you a chuckle.
Can you change Scsbot's edit summary to say "edited by bot" rather than "edited by robot"? Technically, you probably don't have a mechanical device typing at the keyboard (but send me the plans if you do). I've thought about this for a while, then I actually looked at Robot and the article also says "software agents ... are usually referred to as bots to differentiate". It's even referenced! (But the cite points to a dead link, and I found a few more reference problems - serves me right :). Just a suggestion, accept or ignore as you wish. Cheers! Franamax ( talk) 03:46, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
Wow, that is niggling! :-)
You're probably right, although I confess that my initial reaction to "usually referred to as bots to differentiate" is "citation needed". I'll think about it, and if I end up leaving it like it is, please don't think I didn't appreciate the suggestion! — Steve Summit ( talk) 01:20, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
No wonder the pedia showed that sinking feeling. Glad you're back! Julia Rossi ( talk) 05:12, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
Just to let you know, I just deleted a page that Scsbot created in error: Wikipedia:Reference desk/Archives/Language/1900 January 1. Okiefromokla questions? 16:35, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
Have we been seeing some really weird vandalism lately, or has Scsbot been editing while logged out? If the latter, then noted that ClueBot reverted archiving on Computing. Algebraist 03:18, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Reference desk/Language still has threads from September 3. Can we have some archiving please? Algebraist 10:54, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
Just saying hello to you, a pillar. (And Indiana Jones of the bot jungle.) :) Julia Rossi ( talk) 09:27, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
Happy Christmas, Sir Summit. |
Julia Rossi ( talk) 01:09, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
Just to let you know, I've solved the December 11th problem. If the bot is still holding on to the December 11 content you can purge it. See the RD talk page for details Nil Einne ( talk) 12:04, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
