Take it easy, wherebot. The reference on planetary artificial intelligence that you are mentioning has nothing to do with planetary artificial intelligence, and therefore can not raise a copyright violation point. This is only a definition. -- Anagnostopoulos 13:15, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
Settle down, wherebot! Please do not delete Crusade (album). If album covers are fair use, surely non plagiarized articles are fair use! -- Alcuin 01:14, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

In general, material from the United States Government is not copyrightable. It's probably best not to automatically flag copies from ".gov" domains. -- John Nagle 17:58, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
Would you please send me your source code? We really need such robot on persian wikipedia. I'll keep it safe and won't redistribute your code if you don't like. ;-) Hessam 18:37, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi. I haven't looked through the code yet, but I suspect you may have an error with an escape sequence somewhere (see this edit). Just thought I'd bring it to your attention. Mind matrix 15:21, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi, just wanted to congratulate you on this bot. I worked today on the list and they were a few non copyvio's but the majority was spot on. Good job! Garion96 (talk) 22:20, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
For your information, I couldn't find a copyvio on the last three entries. [1]. Garion96 (talk) 16:14, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
Could you modify Wherebot to use multiple search engines? Nwwaew 02:05, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
Very cool, but could the bot use interesting edit summaries, or at least turn them off? "Wikipedia python library" is not very helpful... -- wwwwolf ( barks/ growls) 11:24, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
Well done, you caught a copyvio, reported, and an admin deleted before I got around to locating the exact URL -- Keep up the great work with this bot! :) // Laughing Man 05:30, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
If you can grab the full page text of the search results, can you run a search for "GFDL" - Wherebot's been coming up w/ a lot of Answers.com WP mirrors lately and it'd be nice to be able to eliminate them :) -- Tawker 16:50, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
Please take a few moments and fill in the data for your bot on Wikipedia:Bots/Status Thank you Betacommand ( talk • contribs • Bot) 19:53, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
As a result of discussion on the village pump and mailing list, bots are now allowed to edit up to 15 times per minute. The following is the new text regarding bot edit rates from Wikipedia:Bot Policy:
Until new bots are accepted they should wait 30-60 seconds between edits, so as to not clog the recent changes list and user watchlists. After being accepted and a bureaucrat has marked them as a bot, they can edit at a much faster pace. Bots doing non-urgent tasks should edit approximately once every ten seconds, while bots who would benefit from faster editing may edit approximately once every every four seconds.
Also, to eliminate the need to spam the bot talk pages, please add Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard to your watchlist. Future messages which affect bot owners will be posted there. Thank you. -- Mets501 05:15, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
I'm concerned at the way that copyright pages often have titles at odds with their function and the description given to readers, its a hangover of old days and would be nice to fix :)
Would it be okay to page-move Wikipedia:Suspected copyright violations to Wikipedia:Automated copyvio check requests or similar?
For example:
There are several examples of this, but Wherebot is the one I want to check first since it's hard wired into a bot. If you are agreeable, feel free to do the page move yourself and modify the shortcut and Template:Copyrightassistanceheader accordingly and let me know? FT2 ( Talk | email) 12:58, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
I am very concerned with you tagging many of my articles as suspected copyright violations. Please xplain where the copyright violations in articles such as Leon Spencer or Mark Whitfield can be found? All I have done is use the most basic of information provided by a specific source. That is called referencing (not "copyright violations"). All of my articles contain references, so go look for yourself to see if copyrights have been violated. ( Mind meal 04:44, 24 June 2007 (UTC))
You may want to check out this diff. Wherebot has somehow come up with a copyvio in the article NATO Programming Centre; it thinks it has been copied from the page [2]. Not only does the URL seem unlikely to have anything about the NATO Programming Centre, it no longer exists (I checked it about 10 minutes after it was reported) and gives a 404 error. Not sure what happened here but I thought I'd bring it to your attention. Blair - Speak to me 12:24, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
