Hi there, I would like to enquire about VoxelBot's sources. How does the bot receive the info it uses to update vandalism info template? (for eg. Huggle, Twinkle reverts marked as vandalism etc.) Also, may I know what that (for eg.) "90/2 according to voxelbot" means and how to get info on no. of reverts per minute. Thanks and cheers!

VoxelBot hasn't updated Vandalism information in over 12 hours. Is something going on? Command and Conquer Expert! speak to me... review me... 03:53, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
I put him at AIV in hopes of getting a faster result to make sure they stopped. It is doubtful any longterm solution will come from ANI, as what can they do with a shared IP? Kids, eh? I was too busy with chasing girls when I was in high school to bother with garbage like what they are doing! Gtwfan52 ( talk) 21:31, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

I award you this barnstar for your work on VoxelBot and the auto-updates it makes to Template:Vandalism information. From the day I first designed Template:WikiDefcon/levels back in 2011 to your bot today, the classification of vandalism levels has become less subjective and more reliable. The information is of great use to us all. Thank you! CJ Drop me a line! • Contribs 23:41, 14 February 2013 (UTC) |

Thank you for the VoxelBot and for training it to perform the FA functions, - you are an

The Project is almost ready to hit the
Main Page, where it will be occupying a section just below "Did you Know" section. Three article from the weekly batch of 7 will be displayed randomly at the main page, the format of which can be seen at
the Main Page sandbox. There is also an ongoing discussion at the
Main page talk over the final details before we can go forward with the Main Page. If you have any ideas to discuss with everyone else, please visit the
TAFI Talk Page and join in on the ongoing discussions there. You are also invited to add new nominations, and comment and suport on the current ones at the
Nominations page. You can also help by helping in the discussions at the
Holding Area. Above all, please do not forget to improve our current

Hey, you beat me to the page asking for this user to be blocked!! Will have to work on quickening up my typing skills. :) Rocketrod1960 ( talk) 12:41, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
Hi, I really hope this gets through after the issues I encountered over the last few days! :) I am asking for you to reconsider the revision to my December edit on Jewish boycott of German goods. I deleted unsubstantiated information and cannot think how I can prove something did exist where it probably does not. I have consulted various information sources in my endeavours to locate the (I believe) mythical New York Times headline with no success and the same with the incident regarding broken crockery.

I've been noticing how much your Talk page has been vandalized by immature trolls with too much time on their hands. Just wanted to wish you good luck with it, and hope you continue to do good work on Wikipedia despite those difficulties. A watchful ( talk page stalker), • Jesse V.

Hey all.
As promised, we've built a set of improvements to the Article Feedback Tool, which can be tested through the links here. Please do take the opportunity to play around with it, let me know of any bugs, and see what you think :).
A final reminder that the Request for Comment on whether AFT5 should be turned on on Wikipedia (and how) is soon to close; for those of you who have not submitted an opinion or !voted, it can be found here.
Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 19:26, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
Hey there- What is happening to this list? I see it getting a FL status then then, lots of code errors on the page. Is it OK?? Coal town guy ( talk) 21:20, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
Hi! Please note that it's not necessary to report usernames to UAA if they've not edited in the past month or so. It worsens the backlog and pushes the more time-critical requests to the bottom. Thanks for your understanding and keep up the good work! Tyrol5 [Talk] 21:51, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
Hi. I wanted to touch base regarding your new bot task for FL and FA closing. I posted a link there to some documentation I wrote up for the FA-related closes. Please let me know if you need me to elaborate on anything. In the meantime, I will continue to manually close FACs and FARs; drop me a line when you're ready for a test run, so I can leave you something to work with. Thanks.

Thanks for the progress! Could the bot please say "Article history" also in the edit summary? -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 23:07, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
Many thanks for your help. Best wishes DBaK ( talk) 17:50, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
Just a note that you should take very extreme care when answering an edit request on a caste-related talk page. As you can see in my explanation there, the alleged source that was given to you is never, ever, under any situation reliable, as we know for a fact that a very large portion of their books are just unattributed copies of Wikipedia articles. The reason for semi-protection on most of these articles is because of rampant POV pushing by anons and non-confirmed editors, who very often want to turn pages about their own caste into glorification of their past based on myths and "personal knowledge". Qwyrxian ( talk) 05:51, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
Please double-check that everything worked as intended when relisting AfD debates - quite a few you relisted today were not removed from the 16th's log. Thanks.

Hi:) I deleted this page's content and you redid ( http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User:SaraKatherinsmile/Sara_Katherine_Johnson&action=edit). I made the page when I was in high school and my account also got blocked because I was being dumb and edited Ashton Kutcher's page as well. Anyways, the page I edited was my personal page. Since I'm getting older and trying to present a better online image I was trying to erase the page. Please let me know what I can do to make this happen. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.90.173.129 ( talk) 01:31, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
i just noticed this error on wikipedia, not my job to "take it to talk page", someone who uses wikipedia needs to correct this blatant error. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.90.158.42 ( talk) 00:42, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
I noticed how the article is mostly un-sourced lists of artists and album releases, with {{ unreferenced}} tags posted on both sections. Because it makes the article difficult to read, I decided to clear the sections according to WP:V. Cluebot picked it up and I reported it as a false positive. I'm planning to do a revamp of the entire article to include sources and such, and also to possibly branch the article out depending on whether Thizz Ent. and Thizz Nation are different companies and deserve their own articles. Also if the list really is that long, it should be in its own list article. Please let me know if you have any concerns about this. -- wL< speak· check> 11:09, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
Thanks very much for getting this up and running. I just looked over the bot's first 2 closings and noted a few issues to iron out:

a user script that may be helpful; check out function manualDate(event)

Hi there, I had a closer look at the changes you referred to. I thank you for your attention, I went over the changes I had made and discovered a major error on my part because the Daily Express was not a tabloid until the 1970s. I will amend the details and provide citations or links where I can showing how the headline has been (mis)used. Part of the problem is that many of the comments appear on racist websites or YouTube videos associated with WWII Zerosprite ( talk) 23:22, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
