Hi, Tim. I'm Pablo Zeta from Argentina. I would like to know how you uploaded the photo and how it was labelled to be "fair use", because I want to upload it to the Spanish WP's version of the article. Thanks for your attention.-- Pablozeta ( talk) 15:56, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
DASHbot removed several images from a gallery on my user page showing off my vectorizational achievements. Don't I have a right to show them, off, or is it arguably illegal? —Preceding signed comment added by Nicky Nouse ( talk • contribs • wikia) 04:55, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi Tim, Category:Non-free_Wikipedia_file_size_reduction_request is up to 88 files, and DASHbot stopped resizing on April 19. Thought I'd let you know. – Kerαunoςcopia◁ gala xies 07:39, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
Hey Tim, I figured out the problem with the ampersands in the HotArticleBot. The problem is that the ampersands in your XML data are not escaped correctly for XML. XML doesn't recognise most named HTML entities [1] so you have to use the numeric version instead. For example & instead of &. Let me know if you get a chance to fix this any time soon. Thanks!

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Mcdonald Elementary School is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mcdonald Elementary School until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Eastmain ( talk • contribs) 06:31, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

I am only using images which appear on Wikipedia. I am careful to only use images already on Wikipedia due to just such examples of very strange obsessive deletions in the past.
I am drafting an article for Main Space.
Why is the image not removed from the main space article Love Is..., but is removed from my article?
Please also refer to the letter about this type of edit from the Chairman of Wikipedia this month, here, and ensuing discussion here.
I obviously need more info on the "not free use" category and how this article already has permission to show the image - how is that permission shown up? I can't see it documented.
If anyone would like to help out with editing/reading/feedback instead of just deleting, I'd really appreciate people giving this draft article the once-over and leaving some constructive feedback

RE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Artie04/WasteZero

Hi, just wanted to point out this, I marked a logo as PD-text and used it in a template, but didn't notice that the author's template still marked it as non-free. I fixed this, but your bot must have had the image logged and still removed it. Perhaps the bot can check for a non-free tag by the time it makes the edit? Or maybe I'm misunderstanding... ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 05:24, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Greetings, Tim1357. It looks like you wrote the AlbumBot variation of DASHBot. On the bot's user page, it says, "Too buggy to run; project stalled." I was wondering if you would be able to work on AlbumBot some more. Over in WikiProject Albums, some of us are pretty eager to have a bot move the album reviews from the "Infobox album" template to the "Album ratings" template. That's what AlbumBot was doing, a while ago, before it was turned off. At the time I believe there was also not complete agreement on exactly what the specs for this should be. But, like I said, we'd like it a lot of AlbumBot could do this work, and I'm sure we'd collaborate on exactly what the specs should be. If you could do this, then great, and if not, can you help us find someone who can? If you reply here, I will see what you say, but the best would be if you could join in our discussion about all this. It's at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Albums#Album reviews. Thanks. — Mudwater ( Talk) 23:29, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your work on DASHBot for this! Just thought I'd alert you to this edit at Barely Real - the reviews had already been moved but (slip up on my part!) the reviews parameter was still in the infobox, so there ended up being two review boxes instead of one. It's possible this is a special case but might be worth noting (it could just be a case of putting in a case where if no reviews are present in the infobox, the parameter is just deleted, but I'll leave that for someone else to decide!).

When the bot moved a link for Allmusic, that was in the allmusic template, it only moved the first portion of the template, thus giving a bad ref. Here is an example. It left us with " [{{Allmusic Allmusic review] " instead of " {{Allmusic |class=album |id=r470487 |label= |accessdate=January 02 2011 |pure_url=yes }} ".

The page in question is a draft version of an article. I've had a look at the bot's logs, and such image removals from user sandboxes seem commonplace: is that genuinely in the spirit of the policy? If not, is there any DASHBot-Go-Away template (à la NOINDEX) / can it be made to ignore userspace pages which are similar in content to mainspace pages / can it be made to ignore Sysops? Thanks. It Is Me Here t / c 08:07, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
on the page and the bot will ignore it. However, I'm pretty sure that the only exceptions to the
NFCC#9 policy are the pages in
Category:Wikipedia non-free content criteria exemptions (which the bot respects).

Hi, this is user JohannaAnn. I received a note that a speedy deletion was placed on the page I was working on, "Bernstein & Andriulli." I'm relatively new to Wikipedia and couldn't figure out how to move something from live back into draft, hence why I screwed up the redirect.

Looks like DASHbot is moving album reviews into the main article body, but not checking if the article has a corresponding References section to display the refs. I don't know that it rises to the level of needing to hit the shutoff button or anything (especially since I just picked up on this, well after the fact, on a bunch of articles), but it would make my reflist-maintenance life easier if you could get the bot to either skip articles that don't already have a reflist, or add the reflist when it does the review-moving if there's not already one. Any chance you could implement either of those? A fluffernutter is a sandwich! ( talk) 14:46, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

I don't understand. Wasn't the bot simply implementing the guideline at WP:BRINT?

I see that your bot puts spaces in headers. i.e. it changes ==xxx== to == xxx ==.
There is another bot that removes them. i.e. it changes == xxx == to ==xxx==.
Personally, I couldn't care less. But I am forced to admit that I this find this highly amusing. (Yes, I know, "small things amuse small minds".)
I'm somewhat embarassed to admit that I would be fascinated to read your rationale for putting them back in.

Thanks for uploading File:Galatasaray Lycee.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Hi Tim,
Dashbot is very efficiently removing our logo from our new Glamwiki page. Obviously we're happy for the logo to be used there, where it's appropriate, but I can see it's slightly awkward with its fair use status.

Hey Tim, I figured out the problem with the ampersands in the HotArticleBot. The problem is that the ampersands in your XML data are not escaped correctly for XML. XML doesn't recognise most named HTML entities [1] so you have to use the numeric version instead. For example & instead of &. Let me know if you get a chance to fix this any time soon. Thanks!

I am only using images which appear on Wikipedia. I am careful to only use images already on Wikipedia due to just such examples of very strange obsessive deletions in the past.

Why is the image not removed from the main space article Love Is..., but is removed from my article?
Please also refer to the letter about this type of edit from the Chairman of Wikipedia this month, here, and ensuing discussion here.
I obviously need more info on the "not free use" category and how this article already has permission to show the image - how is that permission shown up? I can't see it documented.

Hi, just wanted to point out this, I marked a logo as PD-text and used it in a template, but didn't notice that the author's template still marked it as non-free. I fixed this, but your bot must have had the image logged and still removed it. Perhaps the bot can check for a non-free tag by the time it makes the edit? Or maybe I'm misunderstanding... ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 05:24, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Greetings, Tim1357. It looks like you wrote the AlbumBot variation of DASHBot. On the bot's user page, it says, "Too buggy to run; project stalled." I was wondering if you would be able to work on AlbumBot some more. Over in WikiProject Albums, some of us are pretty eager to have a bot move the album reviews from the "Infobox album" template to the "Album ratings" template. That's what AlbumBot was doing, a while ago, before it was turned off. At the time I believe there was also not complete agreement on exactly what the specs for this should be. But, like I said, we'd like it a lot of AlbumBot could do this work, and I'm sure we'd collaborate on exactly what the specs should be. If you could do this, then great, and if not, can you help us find someone who can? If you reply here, I will see what you say, but the best would be if you could join in our discussion about all this. It's at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Albums#Album reviews. Thanks. — Mudwater ( Talk) 23:29, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your work on DASHBot for this! Just thought I'd alert you to this edit at Barely Real - the reviews had already been moved but (slip up on my part!) the reviews parameter was still in the infobox, so there ended up being two review boxes instead of one. It's possible this is a special case but might be worth noting (it could just be a case of putting in a case where if no reviews are present in the infobox, the parameter is just deleted, but I'll leave that for someone else to decide!).

When the bot moved a link for Allmusic, that was in the allmusic template, it only moved the first portion of the template, thus giving a bad ref. Here is an example. It left us with " [{{Allmusic Allmusic review] " instead of " {{Allmusic |class=album |id=r470487 |label= |accessdate=January 02 2011 |pure_url=yes }} ".

The page in question is a draft version of an article. I've had a look at the bot's logs, and such image removals from user sandboxes seem commonplace: is that genuinely in the spirit of the policy? If not, is there any DASHBot-Go-Away template (à la NOINDEX) / can it be made to ignore userspace pages which are similar in content to mainspace pages / can it be made to ignore Sysops? Thanks. It Is Me Here t / c 08:07, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
on the page and the bot will ignore it. However, I'm pretty sure that the only exceptions to the
NFCC#9 policy are the pages in
Category:Wikipedia non-free content criteria exemptions (which the bot respects).

I come back from my wikibreak and I find a message of Dashbot saying that I had a N-F I in my userspace, well, I did but it was on my talk page, and an IP added it. Well, it said not to do it. I feel like if I'm a newcomer again. Well, short story short, I would like it if it left a message to the talk page to who added the picture or other media, not the userspace that it is in. ~~ EBE123~~ talk Contribs 22:51, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for making the database report. I shared it with the WikiProject Council and a couple editors think the numbers may not include the more complex WikiProject templates and redirects. Could you comment over there? Thanks again. - Mabeenot ( talk) 00:28, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
Hi, this is user JohannaAnn. I received a note that a speedy deletion was placed on the page I was working on, "Bernstein & Andriulli." I'm relatively new to Wikipedia and couldn't figure out how to move something from live back into draft, hence why I screwed up the redirect. Can you explain to me how to do that so that I don't mess this up again? The page will be going live soon. Thanks JohannaAnn ( talk) 23:42, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
Looks like DASHbot is moving album reviews into the main article body, but not checking if the article has a corresponding References section to display the refs. I don't know that it rises to the level of needing to hit the shutoff button or anything (especially since I just picked up on this, well after the fact, on a bunch of articles), but it would make my reflist-maintenance life easier if you could get the bot to either skip articles that don't already have a reflist, or add the reflist when it does the review-moving if there's not already one. Any chance you could implement either of those? A fluffernutter is a sandwich! ( talk) 14:46, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Question #1 - Have you created a "Hot Articles for WikiProject" page for every USA state, like the following? http://toolserver.org/~tim1357/cgi-bin/wikiproject_watchlist.py?template=WikiProject+Computing
Question #2 - Has anyone created a change list for "WikiProject Kansas"?
Question #3 - If someone hasn't requested one for Kansas, then please create one for me.
Question #4 - If you have created one for other states, then where do I find the list? Please link to a page that has a link to it. I wanted to know where other states are putting their links.
Question #5 - Do you have any options to tweak the output?

The navbox redirect bypassing feature of DashBOT was suspended by a user 4 months ago and has not been resumed since. I have to manually review redirects now. Why?

I don't understand. Wasn't the bot simply implementing the guideline at WP:BRINT? If the problem is with the "exceptions to the exception" as indicated there, then maybe those exceptions can be programmed into the bot - such as avoiding cases where the redirect is tagged with {{ R with possibilities}} (or other similar templates, if there are any). - Set theorist ( talk) 17:30, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

Dear Tim, The Bot changed the title og one of of my pages, The Bridge - (dash) Stage of the Arts to The Bridge — (hyphen) Stage of the Arts, and since no one looking for The Bridge - Stage of the Arts will ever type a hyphen instead of the smaller dash the Redirect notice on the page will always be in evidence and I would greatly prefer the simplicity of having no such notice.

I see that your bot puts spaces in headers. i.e. it changes ==xxx== to == xxx ==.
There is another bot that removes them. i.e. it changes == xxx == to ==xxx==.
Personally, I couldn't care less. But I am forced to admit that I this find this highly amusing. (Yes, I know, "small things amuse small minds".)
I'm somewhat embarassed to admit that I would be fascinated to read your rationale for putting them back in.

Hey Tim. It looks like the album ratings bot updated a big batch of articles last night. That's great. I've spot checked a few of the updates and they seem good to me.
