Your upload of File:TheoBotTestImage.jpg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

Theopolisme, I'm not sure if I'm doing this correctly, but here goes. On October 11, 2012, you undid an addition I made to NFL's Greatest Games, deeming it didn't appear constructive. I'm not a wiki guru, so I'm not sure I made my edit correctly. However, the game that I inserted into the list was valid as I had watched it on NFL Network that same day with the same title and it was listed as being with that series. Searching the internet, I was not able to find any source to reference on it, though. I did find other blog-type pieces of other people watching/referencing the same episode (provided below). I would ask that you undo your deletion. If there is something that needs to be done, perhaps you could help me. Thank you.

Listen, I have made a near-thousand edits, have made less mistakes than you have, and can code a " Theo's Little Bot" in four hours flat. I am ready to take the responsibility as an admin. (btw, my grandparents live in Memphis.)
I don't see you as admin, either. Just because I don't add "... and happy editing!" at the end of my comments, or go on with the "four tildes" does not prove anything in concern of being in the state of an amateur on Wikipedia. LogoSubcheck ( talk)

Hello Theopolisme! Thank you for being a host at the Teahouse. However, we haven't heard from you lately, so our bot has moved your Host profile from the host landing page to the host breakroom. No worries; you can always just and our bot will move your profile back. Editing any Teahouse-related page will do the same thing for you.

In June, your bot added a template about a missing file description on the talk page of banned user Soprani; a sockpuppet of User:Daddy Kindsoul who's page I had already redirected in May 2012. A few days ago, I made a good faith revert and nicely explained why it wouldn't be feasible to add that in the edit summary but the bot added it again so I had to rollback it. Is it possible that you or someone can make it so the bot won't edit that user talk page again? The user is banned and you can't see the edit anyway unless you look at the differences in the history. Sorry I didn't report this at Github but I didn't feel comfortable getting an account on there. -- Thebirdlover ( talk) 00:37, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

Hi Theopolisme It seems that the above article was removed mainly on the basis of copyright issues. I had previously replied to you re the Notability and Verifiability issues you raised. I have been able to find an email from Starling which supports my contention that I have the copyright: it is copied in below.
I need your advice on whether this can be used to resolve any conflict. I am a volunteer for a NGO involved in broadly publicizing this event which is why the information was sent to Starling and many other online calendars. However I do not wish to spend much more time on this.
Thanks and regards Phil.

Hello Theopolisme. It has now been over six months since you last edited your article submission, entitled sandbox alt.
The page will shortly be deleted. If you plan on editing the page to address the issues raised when it was declined and resubmit it, simply {{db-afc}}
or {{db-g13}}
code. Please note, however, that Articles for Creation is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you want to retrieve it, copy this code: {{subst:Refund/G13|Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/sandbox alt}}
, paste it in the edit box at
this link, click "Save", and an administrator will in most cases undelete the submission.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Theopolisme ( talk) 02:56, 30 July 2013 (UTC)

Would it be possible to combine the all_in_one and concensus options? The Problem is that when you use both separately, the citation only appears after the all_in_one template. Perhaps they can be combined in the following manner:
The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 78% approval rating with an average rating of 7.0/10, based on 263 reviews. The website's consensus reads; "Ted's 'romance versus bromance' plot is familiar, but the film's held aloft by the high-concept central premise and a very funny (albeit inconsistent) script."[1]
Thanks.-- TriiipleThreat ( talk) 13:56, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

...note, however, that it will take up to five days for it to be available in all old uses of the template. Let me know if there's anything else I can do!

Hi Theopolisme. I've been trying to get a test implementation of {{COI editnotice}} since we got consensus in Proposals in March!

to talk pages—this will make "Click here" preload
Template:COI_editnotice/preloadtracker (instead of the normal /preload). When someone clicks that link,
this will be preloaded, and the number of requested edits from bot-added links will be available by looking at
Special:WhatLinksHere/User:Theo's Little Bot/coi_tracker/bot. Will this suffice? (Just thinking aloud, would it be helpful to track the number of requested edits from normal Click here's as well?)

Due to some additional ideas that have been suggested, and because I had some in-depth talks with the Foundation, I have pinged Steven walling and Brandon Harris for a yes/no response on one of those suggestions. If they respond positively, it will relieve the community of the technical development aspect, while I'm confident that the volunteers' ideas will be taken very much into consideration and integrated if necessary/possible.

Hi Theo. This bot got approval, but I wasn't sure if it is/has tagged the articles already or what the next step was... CorporateM ( Talk) 20:03, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
The company went out of business in 2001. Adding a COI warning to the talk page as you did here is counterproductive. — rybec 15:03, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
Since you were so responsive, I'm making another complaint. Look if you will at the history of WilliamH's talk page. After he put {{ retired}} on the page, your bot left a notice. One day later, a few hours after someone deleted it, the bot left an identical message:
2013-09-02T15:54:28 Theo's Little Bot (+885) . . (Notifying user about missing file description(s) (bot - disable))
2013-09-02T09:18:27 Addshore (-886) . . (messages go poof, pah)
2013-09-01T15:53:56 Theo's Little Bot (+885) . . (Notifying user about missing file description(s) (bot - disable))
The code to disable it did work. It seems to me that people who say they've retired are unlikely to remedy problems with their uploads. Since {{ nobots}} doesn't add a huge, black banner to the page, I suspect there's a lot less awareness of it. If a human deletes a notice, it may not be desirable for the bot to repost it. — rybec 22:32, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
The sandbox versions were all working correctly. I'm not sure what you saw I didn't. Could you give me a screen shot or tell me what it was doing? Maybe add a new test case on the test cases page? Thanks. Technical 13 ( talk) 00:45, 16 September 2013 (UTC)

Hi. You're being contacted as you've previously used global message delivery (or its English Wikipedia counterpart). It doesn't feel so great to be spammed, does it? ;-)
For the past few months, Legoktm has built a replacement to the current message delivery system called MassMessage. MassMessage uses a proper user interface form (no more editing a /Spam subpage), works faster (it can complete a large delivery in minutes), and no longer requires being on an access list (any local administrator can use it). In addition, many tiny annoyances with the old system have been addressed. It's a real improvement! :-)
You can test out MassMessage here:
testwiki:Special:MassMessage. The biggest difference you'll likely notice is that any input list must use a new {{#target:}}
parser function. For example, {{#target:User talk:Jimbo Wales}}
or {{#target:User talk:Jimbo Wales|test2.wikipedia.org}}
. For detailed instructions, check out
mw:Help:Extension:MassMessage.

Theopolisme, I'm not sure if I'm doing this correctly, but here goes. On October 11, 2012, you undid an addition I made to NFL's Greatest Games, deeming it didn't appear constructive. I'm not a wiki guru, so I'm not sure I made my edit correctly. However, the game that I inserted into the list was valid as I had watched it on NFL Network that same day with the same title and it was listed as being with that series. Searching the internet, I was not able to find any source to reference on it, though. I did find other blog-type pieces of other people watching/referencing the same episode (provided below). I would ask that you undo your deletion. If there is something that needs to be done, perhaps you could help me. Thank you.

I don't see you as admin, either. Just because I don't add "... and happy editing!" at the end of my comments, or go on with the "four tildes" does not prove anything in concern of being in the state of an amateur on Wikipedia. LogoSubcheck ( talk)

In June, your bot added a template about a missing file description on the talk page of banned user Soprani; a sockpuppet of User:Daddy Kindsoul who's page I had already redirected in May 2012. A few days ago, I made a good faith revert and nicely explained why it wouldn't be feasible to add that in the edit summary but the bot added it again so I had to rollback it. Is it possible that you or someone can make it so the bot won't edit that user talk page again? The user is banned and you can't see the edit anyway unless you look at the differences in the history. Sorry I didn't report this at Github but I didn't feel comfortable getting an account on there. -- Thebirdlover ( talk) 00:37, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

Hi Theopolisme It seems that the above article was removed mainly on the basis of copyright issues. I had previously replied to you re the Notability and Verifiability issues you raised. I have been able to find an email from Starling which supports my contention that I have the copyright: it is copied in below.
I need your advice on whether this can be used to resolve any conflict. I am a volunteer for a NGO involved in broadly publicizing this event which is why the information was sent to Starling and many other online calendars. However I do not wish to spend much more time on this.
Thanks and regards Phil.

Hello Theopolisme. It has now been over six months since you last edited your article submission, entitled sandbox alt.
The page will shortly be deleted. If you plan on editing the page to address the issues raised when it was declined and resubmit it, simply {{db-afc}}
or {{db-g13}}
code. Please note, however, that Articles for Creation is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you want to retrieve it, copy this code: {{subst:Refund/G13|Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/sandbox alt}}
, paste it in the edit box at
this link, click "Save", and an administrator will in most cases undelete the submission.

Would it be possible to combine the all_in_one and concensus options? The Problem is that when you use both separately, the citation only appears after the all_in_one template. Perhaps they can be combined in the following manner:
The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 78% approval rating with an average rating of 7.0/10, based on 263 reviews. The website's consensus reads; "Ted's 'romance versus bromance' plot is familiar, but the film's held aloft by the high-concept central premise and a very funny (albeit inconsistent) script."[1]
Thanks.-- TriiipleThreat ( talk) 13:56, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

Template:COI_editnotice/preloadtracker (instead of the normal /preload). When someone clicks that link,
this will be preloaded, and the number of requested edits from bot-added links will be available by looking at
Special:WhatLinksHere/User:Theo's Little Bot/coi_tracker/bot. Will this suffice? (Just thinking aloud, would it be helpful to track the number of requested edits from normal Click here's as well?)

Hi Theo. This bot got approval, but I wasn't sure if it is/has tagged the articles already or what the next step was... CorporateM ( Talk) 20:03, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
The company went out of business in 2001. Adding a COI warning to the talk page as you did here is counterproductive. — rybec 15:03, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
Since you were so responsive, I'm making another complaint. Look if you will at the history of WilliamH's talk page. After he put {{ retired}} on the page, your bot left a notice. One day later, a few hours after someone deleted it, the bot left an identical message:
2013-09-02T15:54:28 Theo's Little Bot (+885) . . (Notifying user about missing file description(s) (bot - disable))
2013-09-02T09:18:27 Addshore (-886) . . (messages go poof, pah)
2013-09-01T15:53:56 Theo's Little Bot (+885) . . (Notifying user about missing file description(s) (bot - disable))
The code to disable it did work. It seems to me that people who say they've retired are unlikely to remedy problems with their uploads. Since {{ nobots}} doesn't add a huge, black banner to the page, I suspect there's a lot less awareness of it. If a human deletes a notice, it may not be desirable for the bot to repost it. — rybec 22:32, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
The sandbox versions were all working correctly. I'm not sure what you saw I didn't. Could you give me a screen shot or tell me what it was doing? Maybe add a new test case on the test cases page? Thanks. Technical 13 ( talk) 00:45, 16 September 2013 (UTC)

Hi. You're being contacted as you've previously used global message delivery (or its English Wikipedia counterpart). It doesn't feel so great to be spammed, does it? ;-)
For the past few months, Legoktm has built a replacement to the current message delivery system called MassMessage. MassMessage uses a proper user interface form (no more editing a /Spam subpage), works faster (it can complete a large delivery in minutes), and no longer requires being on an access list (any local administrator can use it). In addition, many tiny annoyances with the old system have been addressed. It's a real improvement! :-)
You can test out MassMessage here:
testwiki:Special:MassMessage. The biggest difference you'll likely notice is that any input list must use a new {{#target:}}
parser function. For example, {{#target:User talk:Jimbo Wales}}
or {{#target:User talk:Jimbo Wales|test2.wikipedia.org}}
. For detailed instructions, check out
mw:Help:Extension:MassMessage.
If you find any bugs, have suggestions for additional features, or have any other feedback, drop a note at m:Talk:MassMessage. Thanks for spamming! -- MZMcBride ( talk) 05:23, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

Why isn't the bot reducing this file? It has been tagged since August. -- Stefan2 ( talk) 13:06, 5 October 2013 (UTC)

. I'll double check to make sure that's still the case, though...

Hi, I've sent you a message a while back; but I missed that you replied (sorry for that). Later, I discovered it. Anyway, I think the citation format is OK. I can translate the text into Bengali, if it helps you. :-)
My apologies for so late response and regards... Anubhab91 ( talk) 09:59, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
{{

(namely the documentation) at your leisure, and I'll work on hooking the bot up with the new site.
