Currently it says "add {{bots|deny=DASHBot}}

Hi Tim. It's now a few weeks ago since I emergency-stopped DashBOT performing the album review move requested by the WP:ALBUM project and I am starting to feel bad about it. I do sincerely hope that I didn't unintentionally hurt your feelings with this action. I can assure you that I had the best intentions, and I have been doing my best to provide guidance in resolving the outstanding issues. I certainly do hope that you are decided to stay on board. It's a big implementation for the project (definitely the biggest since I joined 2 years ago) and we can't do it without the assistance of someone like you. In best cooperation. – Ib Leo (talk) 17:01, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
Hi, sorry for bothering you, but your bot sent me this message, while the file is not orphaned and in use as you can see here at it's page, and at the article's page, thank you MaenK.A. Talk 06:57, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
I have recieved a message about an orphaned image, but it is not ( File:Pirates of the Carabian PA190094.jpg. Deror ( talk) 11:18, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
{{helpme}} Dashbot has tagged File:Wokiwiki-Main-2010-01-15.png as "non-free image that is not being used in Wikipedia article space." It is actually a screen shot of a site that serves (or served) subtly adulterated copies of Wikipedia articles, using the Wikipedia name; an activity that could be very damaging to Wikipedia. The screenshot was uploaded to serve as evidence for a complaint filed two months ago in the page Wikipedia:Mirrors_and_forks/Vwxyz. (It is unclear whether the site has been taken down in the meantime.) I could keep a copy in my local computer but there are several inconvenients with that; uploading to Wikipedia seems a better solution. So what shall one do to stop the file being deleted in such cases? All the best, -- Jorge Stolfi ( talk) 14:27, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
Hi. Your bot recently notified me a bunch of times about orphaned images; see here. Thing is, I only uploaded reduced versions of these and tagged them to have to old revs deleted. As such, I don't want to be pestered by the bot. Personally, I favor much higher standards for fair use rationals and many articles that don't properly meet a reasonable notability standard sport images with dubious FU claims that are often inappropriately over-sized, so these orphanings are a sign that others are also working to prune the unencyclopaedic dross that the anybodys inflict on the project.
I'd like to opt-out of your notifications, at least for images I didn't not upload the original of, and would suggest that such things be on an opt-in basis.
Also, I went looking off your bot's user page for where these notifications were approved and did not find it. I did notice the FU-resize task and read that discussion and feel that this is a bit dodgy for a bot to be doing. I see there's some discussion about the issue but that it's currently approved. There is little justification for fair-use images beyond the reasonable default sizes used in article space; typically 180px to 220px wide. I often resize images and I will generally resize images that are over 300px wide to 250px wide; sometimes narrower if the image is quite tall. For higher res, interested readers should follow a link to an off-site source or, in the case of a screen-cap, go buy a copy of whatever or learn to use Google Images.

Hi Tim you questioned my article on Alan Isler - fair enough for my failure to meet certain guidelines: I tend to get it up and assume others will go forward, especially for important writers. Having said that, can you help me with another article, on Les Percussions de Strasbourg, a major performance group for classical music in France? I just basically translated the French article. How do I show this? Thanks Peter —Preceding unsigned comment added by Peterbruce01 ( talk • contribs) 23:13, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
Hi, Tim1357,
DASHbot has left a message on my talk page saying I created an unreferenced article Paul Newman (linguist) and should add references. I am curious what kind of references you think this article needs to be properly referenced. This article includes a bibliography of 9 books by its subject, the linguist Paul Newman, contains 11 links to other Wikipedia articles, and contains 3 online links, 2 of them to articles on the author from reliable sources (one of them a website at the University of Indiana, another a website at the University of Hawaii), and finally an interview with Paul Newman from the scholarly journal Semiotica. The article text also contains direct references to published works, in the form "Modern Hausa-English Dictionary (1977)" and The Hausa Language: An Encyclopedic Reference Grammar (2000)". This provides enough verifiable material to make up a valid article on a person. Furthermore, the article contains few or no controversial statements and certainly no personal observations, so it is not in any kind of danger zone. I suggest your bot be fine-tuned to avoid these "false positives".
However, if you think there is some other kind of reference that is required (a reference to a paper scholarly journal, perhaps?), I would be grateful for the information.

Hi Tim, I've just seen User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects, and I thought I'd point you to Wikipedia:Bot_requests#User:WolterBot, because having done that bot for unreferenced BLPs, it ought to be straightforward(ish) to do variations of that for other maintenance categories. I think this sort of thing is sorely needed, to provide wikiprojects with up-to-date To Do tasks which help keep them alive. Of course there are quite a few maintenance categories and presenting tasks from them in a friendly way is going to be more of a challenge; maybe a complete listing is actually not called for, so much as presenting a limited, regularly updated selection of relevant cleanup tasks.

The replacement of File:"April in Paris" refrain.png with a scaled down version doesn't appear to address the copyright or fair use issues since size/quality of the image I created wasn't an issue regarding the copyright or fair use. Hyacinth ( talk) 08:03, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Hello,
I updated the page for Dunstable Town F.C. as part of my duties on the committee to run said football club. The badge has no trademark, and if it did surely I'm in a position to permit its use, and was created by myself. I've received a message threatening to delete the image to do with declaring it free to use.
Could you offer some guidance on the issue, as I've uploaded several images I've created/enhanced concerning clubs related to us which again have no trademark.

Hi Tim. First off, thank you for your contributions in bot creation. Tedious tasks are an inherent part of the wiki, and your work makes everything much easier. Recently DASHBot tagged my talk page about the orphaned fair-use file File:Jollygoodfelon.jpg. I was not the original uploader of the file, but rather I reduced the resolution of the file to comply with fair use policy. The original version was deleted, which is probably what caused DASHBot to tag my page. Would it be possible to make the bot look into the file history and tag the original editors page instead? I know it's not a huge deal, but I'm seldom interested in the article these files are used in, whereas the original uploader most likely is. Thanks for your time.

Thank you for uploading File:DASHBot_image.jpeg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Chris G Bot ( talk) 00:21, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Warning parsing and chaining appears to be working, and so is issuing of warnings. With that, I'm going to take that code and apply it to the bot and it should be up and running. How's DashBot-1?

I'm not sure if it's doing every project that's listed? I find it hard to believe that some of the big lists with 1000s of pages aren't being updated everyday - maybe they just aren't being referenced (I know that it just skips the page if there have been no changes). I've referenced a few today from some of the lists that haven't moved, so it will be interesting to see if they get updated tomorrow. Is there an order to the Bot? It would be good if it could run in the same order as they are listed on the submission page so that we could see if it gets stuck or just skips over some.

Just to let you know, you apparently had a bot create a lot of Lepidoptera genus articles which seem to be based on the Museum of Natural History database. This database contains all genera of Lepidoptera that were ever validly established - but this means that most genera listed there are junior synonyms nowadays.
This database is not useful to auto-create articles for Wikipedia. I am presently stuck just with the cleanup work, and the amount of it is staggering.

G'day Tim, Have you been able to find out why some of the category based projects are not being updated? Can you force the DASHBot to refresh it's list of categories to search or do some logging to see if it's not detecting the changes, or simply not actually doing the comparisons. See my comments above for the trials I've done. Cheers, The-Pope ( talk) 16:14, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi Tim. As a result of an editor shutting down DASHBot, I came across User:Shaakunthala/Asia-Pacific Telecentre Network. Three days in a row, about the same time every day, DASHBot removed a non-free media file from the developmental article ( most recent example) doing so with its normal editor summary. Everything seems fine. Three times, the editor restored the image, and after the third time he shut DASHBot down. The bot acted correctly, and I turned it back on. I also removed the image again from the development article, and posted a message to the user's talk page. Dashbot also orphaned the image, and I retagged it as orphaned. So, everything seems fine. Except...
Dashbot never informed the 'owner' (defined as the editor in who's userspace the development article exists) of the development article about what it was doing and why. This flummoxed me. Dashbot always informs ( removal, notification. So what happened? I thought perhaps it didn't inform on subpages. So, I went digging further.
Dashbot does inform 'owners' of subpages sub page removal, notification. What the...?
Then I found it... Dashbot doesn't inform owners of subpages if the owner of the subpage does not have a talk page. That was the case in this case that drew my attention, it was the case User:HappyPalooza/Marvel Cinematic Universe (still no owner talk page). I haven't found other examples as yet, but I believe I've uncovered a failing of Dashbot.
Would it be possible to improve Dashbot so that it can post notices to talk pages of users who do not have active talk pages? -- Hammersoft ( talk) 16:00, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Hello Tim1357. I can't figure the false positive on filter 39, but I'm guessing it was your changes that did it. I notice the filter will now also pick up words like 'rapper' and 'closer'.

Hi. I see that you're tagging a lot of images for speedy deletion F1. Good work but... could be even better. :-) Many of these images are public-domain and would be better off at Commons. You can use the move-to-Commons assistant. I also suspect that at least some of these images already exist on Commons so all of their copies on en.wiki should be removed.

Tim, Going down the list at User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects:
See also the lists above where I referred to specific articles that I referenced a week ago, but were only removed from some of the lists. It appears (to someone who knows nothing about python or bots) that the bot has is not reading the "full list" or is being tripped up by one of the category related tasks. It's really becoming an issue - I want to start notifying some of these sub-projects that they aren't performing well, but without up to date information, it is hard to do.

Hiya Tim -- Why would fair use images not be appropriate for user-space drafts? Those drafts certainly qualify for the basic fair use criteria. We do need a better quarantine system for media that hasn't been confirmed to be under an appropriate license, or that is only around for fair use... but until a technical solution exists, I wonder why you are worrying about this particular corner case. – SJ + 22:17, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi Tim, remember the DashBot run you did in January to the authors of unreferenced BLPs? I was wondering if DASHBot could be induced to do a follow up. I suspect that some of the authors have subsequently had their usertalkpages go blue, and as I remember it DASHBot was not writing to people with redlinked talkpages, also a lot of new editors and articles are likely to be in that group both because of the thousands of recently tagged unreferenced BLPs, and because some editors are changing unreferenced tags to unreferencedBLP ones whilst leaving the date unaltered. But the main reason for a reminder is that some of the authors who did get a note in January are probably ready for a reminder now , perhaps including the phrase "If you no longer think it will be possible to find sources for any of the articles that you created, you might consider tagging them for deletion with the tag {{ db-author}} at the top of the article."

And I have another complaint.

Could you please change the location for game two to Denman Arena? My source is The Trail of the Stanley Cup Vol. I by Charles L. Coleman (The reason they played at Denman Arena for game two was that Denman Arena had a seating capacity of 10,500 and it helped pay the increasing Stanley Cup salaries to players. Patrick Arena only seated 4,000.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Corey Bryant ( talk • contribs) 19:05, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Noticed that Dashbot is running tonight, and having quite a run tagging all the orphaned non-free files. One thing that it did, however, is it double-tagged File:RachelJ.jpg ( diff). I've already fixed the double-tagging, but I thought I'd let you know, just in case this is something where the bot isn't (yet) programmed to check for existing tags before tagging, or if it is and it's malfunctioning.

Hi Tim. It's now a few weeks ago since I emergency-stopped DashBOT performing the album review move requested by the WP:ALBUM project and I am starting to feel bad about it. I do sincerely hope that I didn't unintentionally hurt your feelings with this action. I can assure you that I had the best intentions, and I have been doing my best to provide guidance in resolving the outstanding issues. I certainly do hope that you are decided to stay on board. It's a big implementation for the project (definitely the biggest since I joined 2 years ago) and we can't do it without the assistance of someone like you. In best cooperation. – Ib Leo (talk) 17:01, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

{{helpme}} Dashbot has tagged File:Wokiwiki-Main-2010-01-15.png as "non-free image that is not being used in Wikipedia article space." It is actually a screen shot of a site that serves (or served) subtly adulterated copies of Wikipedia articles, using the Wikipedia name; an activity that could be very damaging to Wikipedia. The screenshot was uploaded to serve as evidence for a complaint filed two months ago in the page Wikipedia:Mirrors_and_forks/Vwxyz. (It is unclear whether the site has been taken down in the meantime.) I could keep a copy in my local computer but there are several inconvenients with that; uploading to Wikipedia seems a better solution.

Hi. Your bot recently notified me a bunch of times about orphaned images; see here. Thing is, I only uploaded reduced versions of these and tagged them to have to old revs deleted. As such, I don't want to be pestered by the bot. Personally, I favor much higher standards for fair use rationals and many articles that don't properly meet a reasonable notability standard sport images with dubious FU claims that are often inappropriately over-sized, so these orphanings are a sign that others are also working to prune the unencyclopaedic dross that the anybodys inflict on the project.
I'd like to opt-out of your notifications, at least for images I didn't not upload the original of, and would suggest that such things be on an opt-in basis.
Also, I went looking off your bot's user page for where these notifications were approved and did not find it. I did notice the FU-resize task and read that discussion and feel that this is a bit dodgy for a bot to be doing. I see there's some discussion about the issue but that it's currently approved. There is little justification for fair-use images beyond the reasonable default sizes used in article space; typically 180px to 220px wide. I often resize images and I will generally resize images that are over 300px wide to 250px wide; sometimes narrower if the image is quite tall. For higher res, interested readers should follow a link to an off-site source or, in the case of a screen-cap, go buy a copy of whatever or learn to use Google Images.

Hi Tim you questioned my article on Alan Isler - fair enough for my failure to meet certain guidelines: I tend to get it up and assume others will go forward, especially for important writers.

Hi, Tim1357,
DASHbot has left a message on my talk page saying I created an unreferenced article Paul Newman (linguist) and should add references. I am curious what kind of references you think this article needs to be properly referenced. This article includes a bibliography of 9 books by its subject, the linguist Paul Newman, contains 11 links to other Wikipedia articles, and contains 3 online links, 2 of them to articles on the author from reliable sources (one of them a website at the University of Indiana, another a website at the University of Hawaii), and finally an interview with Paul Newman from the scholarly journal Semiotica. The article text also contains direct references to published works, in the form "Modern Hausa-English Dictionary (1977)" and The Hausa Language: An Encyclopedic Reference Grammar (2000)". This provides enough verifiable material to make up a valid article on a person. Furthermore, the article contains few or no controversial statements and certainly no personal observations, so it is not in any kind of danger zone. I suggest your bot be fine-tuned to avoid these "false positives".
However, if you think there is some other kind of reference that is required (a reference to a paper scholarly journal, perhaps?), I would be grateful for the information.

Hi Tim, I've just seen User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects, and I thought I'd point you to Wikipedia:Bot_requests#User:WolterBot, because having done that bot for unreferenced BLPs, it ought to be straightforward(ish) to do variations of that for other maintenance categories. I think this sort of thing is sorely needed, to provide wikiprojects with up-to-date To Do tasks which help keep them alive. Of course there are quite a few maintenance categories and presenting tasks from them in a friendly way is going to be more of a challenge; maybe a complete listing is actually not called for, so much as presenting a limited, regularly updated selection of relevant cleanup tasks.

Hi Tim. First off, thank you for your contributions in bot creation. Tedious tasks are an inherent part of the wiki, and your work makes everything much easier. Recently DASHBot tagged my talk page about the orphaned fair-use file File:Jollygoodfelon.jpg. I was not the original uploader of the file, but rather I reduced the resolution of the file to comply with fair use policy. The original version was deleted, which is probably what caused DASHBot to tag my page. Would it be possible to make the bot look into the file history and tag the original editors page instead? I know it's not a huge deal, but I'm seldom interested in the article these files are used in, whereas the original uploader most likely is. Thanks for your time.

Thank you for uploading File:DASHBot_image.jpeg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

How do I note that the orphaned photo has found a "new home" to the
Naked Idol (TV movie) article?
Thanx!

Dashbot-1 stopped responding again. The following is the last active line I saw, in case it helps:

Before that, everything was running smoothly. It's not like it slowed to a stop, it just came to a grinding halt. I see nothing else around it that looks unusual, either, so I'm not sure if it's something IRC-side that triggers the failure. Hopefully your logs might be more revealing. -- Shirik ( Questions or Comments?) 09:22, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
re: removing files from userspace. The log notes removal of The Whole Shebang cover from my userspace. I have never seen that file and certainly did not put it in my userspace. Either it's a mistake or someone pasted it in my userspace. Hammerdrill ( talk) 03:29, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
I did have a non-free image on my page that it got however the bot also blanked a section of block text above it that did not display an image it is likely a very minor error that likely doesn't happen often. Just thought you would like to know.

Your edit-filter tracking bot: How does it work, and is it open source? I just realized another application myself and a few others have for a bot that tracks edit filter hits (specifically, a certain one, at least to start) and was hoping we might make use of it.

Hi, no bot experience so I don't know if this is fixable but I received a message about on unreferenced BLP from the bot (admittedly in January but I've been away from the talk page for a while). I created the page as a redirect and since then someone's expanded it.
Any ideas if something that has a category when created as being a redir page won't get notified? BigHairRef | Talk 14:58, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Images File:Bell Atlantic logo (1984).svg and File:BellAtlantic97.png are no orphaned, have been in use at Verizon Communications since 19 April 2010 when Cluebot fixed some vandalism. The usage of these images is not showing up under their “File links”, which is why your bot probably tagged them for deletion.-- Svgalbertian ( talk) 13:15, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure if it's doing every project that's listed? I find it hard to believe that some of the big lists with 1000s of pages aren't being updated everyday - maybe they just aren't being referenced (I know that it just skips the page if there have been no changes). I've referenced a few today from some of the lists that haven't moved, so it will be interesting to see if they get updated tomorrow. Is there an order to the Bot? It would be good if it could run in the same order as they are listed on the submission page so that we could see if it gets stuck or just skips over some. Cheers, The-Pope ( talk) 16:14, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
Just to let you know, you apparently had a bot create a lot of Lepidoptera genus articles which seem to be based on the Museum of Natural History database. This database contains all genera of Lepidoptera that were ever validly established - but this means that most genera listed there are junior synonyms nowadays.
This database is not useful to auto-create articles for Wikipedia. I am presently stuck just with the cleanup work, and the amount of it is staggering. (Still, the valid genera at least now have articles. But it will be a long time til we manage to sort it all out.) All the best, Dysmorodrepanis ( talk) 17:54, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I uploaded one non-free logo to wikipedia, which was to be used in creating one article Firstsource, but by mistake one User:RadioFan marked article for speedy deletion as i created the page, i thought on creating it on same side, by placing template underconstruction, After my communication with him, he moved page to User:Abutorsam007/Firstsource, as soon as article is completed with proper references & cites. I shall be moving it to main article. Now matter is that your BOT DASHbot removed the logo from the User:Abutorsam007/Firstsource here http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User:Abutorsam007/Firstsource&oldid=357513799, i do understand it is right, so what i need to do next?, when article is completed, then should i place again the logo, or still can i use it in User:Abutorsam007/Firstsource.( Abu Torsam 04:50, 22 April 2010 (UTC))

G'day Tim, Have you been able to find out why some of the category based projects are not being updated? Can you force the DASHBot to refresh it's list of categories to search or do some logging to see if it's not detecting the changes, or simply not actually doing the comparisons. See my comments above for the trials I've done. Cheers, The-Pope ( talk) 16:14, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi Tim. As a result of an editor shutting down DASHBot, I came across User:Shaakunthala/Asia-Pacific Telecentre Network. Three days in a row, about the same time every day, DASHBot removed a non-free media file from the developmental article ( most recent example) doing so with its normal editor summary. Everything seems fine. Three times, the editor restored the image, and after the third time he shut DASHBot down. The bot acted correctly, and I turned it back on. I also removed the image again from the development article, and posted a message to the user's talk page. Dashbot also orphaned the image, and I retagged it as orphaned. So, everything seems fine. Except...
Dashbot never informed the 'owner' (defined as the editor in who's userspace the development article exists) of the development article about what it was doing and why. This flummoxed me. Dashbot always informs ( removal, notification. So what happened? I thought perhaps it didn't inform on subpages. So, I went digging further.
Dashbot does inform 'owners' of subpages sub page removal, notification. What the...?
Then I found it... Dashbot doesn't inform owners of subpages if the owner of the subpage does not have a talk page. That was the case in this case that drew my attention, it was the case User:HappyPalooza/Marvel Cinematic Universe (still no owner talk page). I haven't found other examples as yet, but I believe I've uncovered a failing of Dashbot.
Would it be possible to improve Dashbot so that it can post notices to talk pages of users who do not have active talk pages? -- Hammersoft ( talk) 16:00, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Hello Tim1357. I can't figure the false positive on filter 39, but I'm guessing it was your changes that did it. I notice the filter will now also pick up words like 'rapper' and 'closer'. Be great if you could take a look, and perhaps roll back some of the changes. Thanks. -- zzuuzz (talk) 22:07, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
Hi. I see that you're tagging a lot of images for speedy deletion F1. Good work but... could be even better. :-) Many of these images are public-domain and would be better off at Commons. You can use the move-to-Commons assistant. I also suspect that at least some of these images already exist on Commons so all of their copies on en.wiki should be removed.

Tim, Going down the list at User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects:
See also the lists above where I referred to specific articles that I referenced a week ago, but were only removed from some of the lists. It appears (to someone who knows nothing about python or bots) that the bot has is not reading the "full list" or is being tripped up by one of the category related tasks. It's really becoming an issue - I want to start notifying some of these sub-projects that they aren't performing well, but without up to date information, it is hard to do. Thanks for all your help to date but this is getting frustrating. The-Pope ( talk) 17:24, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Hiya Tim -- Why would fair use images not be appropriate for user-space drafts? Those drafts certainly qualify for the basic fair use criteria. We do need a better quarantine system for media that hasn't been confirmed to be under an appropriate license, or that is only around for fair use... but until a technical solution exists, I wonder why you are worrying about this particular corner case. – SJ + 22:17, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi Tim, remember the DashBot run you did in January to the authors of unreferenced BLPs? I was wondering if DASHBot could be induced to do a follow up. I suspect that some of the authors have subsequently had their usertalkpages go blue, and as I remember it DASHBot was not writing to people with redlinked talkpages, also a lot of new editors and articles are likely to be in that group both because of the thousands of recently tagged unreferenced BLPs, and because some editors are changing unreferenced tags to unreferencedBLP ones whilst leaving the date unaltered. But the main reason for a reminder is that some of the authors who did get a note in January are probably ready for a reminder now , perhaps including the phrase "If you no longer think it will be possible to find sources for any of the articles that you created, you might consider tagging them for deletion with the tag {{ db-author}} at the top of the article."

I am sorry, but unfortunatly you cannot have that image on your user page. (You can, however have a link to it.) Please ask any other questions you may have.9. Restrictions on location: Non-free content is allowed only in articles (not disambiguation pages), and only in article namespace...
The articles on Gerry Desjardins and Marty Pavelich are legitimate articles. www.hockeydb.com was their source.
And I have another complaint. Game two of the 1925 Stanley Cup finals was played at Denman Arena in Vancouver---yet the Stanley Cup final article says all games were played at Patrick Arena in Victoria. Could you please change the location for game two to Denman Arena? My source is The Trail of the Stanley Cup Vol. I by Charles L. Coleman (The reason they played at Denman Arena for game two was that Denman Arena had a seating capacity of 10,500 and it helped pay the increasing Stanley Cup salaries to players. Patrick Arena only seated 4,000.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Corey Bryant ( talk • contribs) 19:05, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Noticed that Dashbot is running tonight, and having quite a run tagging all the orphaned non-free files. One thing that it did, however, is it double-tagged File:RachelJ.jpg ( diff). I've already fixed the double-tagging, but I thought I'd let you know, just in case this is something where the bot isn't (yet) programmed to check for existing tags before tagging, or if it is and it's malfunctioning.
