PC padlock

Could be possible the bot includes/removes/changes the templates {{Pp-pc1}} and {{Pp-pc2}} to PC protected pages? Tbhotch.^™ Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 03:42, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

WikiWizard topicon

Quick heads up: It would appear that your topicon needs adjustment. In Firefox, the icon breaks into the page title underline. Perhaps resizing or changing the positional parameters would help. If necessary, I can provide screen capture proof. HectorAE (talk) 02:03, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

I'm not seeing anything wrong. If you know what to do, you're free to fix it yourself. →Σ σ ς. (Sigma) 20:57, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

MKTO

Why was MKTO deleted? The band are notorious enough to have a wiki page, I know the page is simple but, the idea was to create and then others to add to it. Regards, Mythical Curse (talk) 22:22, 5 January 2013 (UTC).

The most basic standard for inclusion in Wikipedia is not whether or not it exists, but notability - that is, whether or not the subject has received attention from the press or other reliable sources. Wikipedia is not a place to establish one's notability, and so an article that does not assert significance or importance can be speedily deleted. →Σ σ ς. (Sigma) 22:26, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

But it's on youtube. How do I prove it's notoriety? Mythical Curse (talk) 05:41, 6 January 2013 (UTC).

(User-page stalker here) To meet WP's notability guidelines, the band must meet one of the criteria that are found at WP:BAND. The band doesn't appear to meet the criteria though. Any other thing I can help you with? --Sp33dyphil ©^hat_ontributions

RE: PC padlock

From the last discussion. I think that answer would be valid if asked you to create the templates, but they already exist, and they are added but not removed, for example Beneath Your Beautiful, where I deliberately left it while some problems these templates have are discussed. The template pp-pc1 was discussed for deletion but there were no consensus to delete it. They should have the same documentation as {{pp-protected}}. Tbhotch.^™ Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 03:28, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

Fair enough. →Σ σ ς. (Sigma) 03:54, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

Apparently, PC-protected pages do not appear in Special:Log/protect, and have other oddities on top of that. Implementing this will take some time. →Σ σ ς. (Sigma) 03:59, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

Yes, the template still having problems that I'd like to fix in the upcoming days. The PC-protected pages appear at their own log. Tbhotch.^™ Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 04:35, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

HARLEY WEATHER

FYI pertaining your speedy deletion of Harley Weather. This is an odd weather anomaly that has happened many years in the past at a local shooting competition. Here are some links present and past talking about "Harley Weather". http://www.smssgazette.com/forum/index.php?topic=2351.0 http://www.smssgazette.com/forum/index.php?topic=1828.0 http://www.smssgazette.com/forum/index.php?topic=1783.0 http://www.smssgazette.com/forum/index.php?topic=1762.0 http://www.smssgazette.com/forum/index.php?topic=1799.0 http://www.smssgazette.com/forum/index.php?topic=1736.0

Those are all forum discussions, and thus not reliable sources. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 05:25, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

THANK YOU! :)

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT REDIRECT :) <3 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.92.227.220 (talk) 05:09, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Aw. If all IPs were like this... *-* — ΛΧΣ²¹ 00:40, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

Why was ArchE17 Deleted?

How was the page promotional and not informative? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mickeeyone (talk • contribs) 23:26, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

There weren't reliable sources, and it just had a few sentences talking about how great it was. →Σ σ ς. (Sigma) 23:31, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

Buttermilk sky

Oops - heh heh, that speedy was my mistake. I did a search but misspelled the search parameters (putting -goat instead of +goat). I was about to revert myself but it looks like you beat me to it! Intelligentsium 02:30, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

It was a mistake, it's nothing to worry about. But it appears to have been A7'd again... →Σ σ ς. (Sigma) 02:36, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

Undone, and added a couple more sources. Intelligentsium 02:38, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

PC tag task

I was just made aware about your attempt to have your bot tag PC protected pages with protection template. I just want to point you to the discussion where I was made aware of this and would request your input. The discussion can be found here.—cyberpower ^Chat_Offline 19:39, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

I will comment shortly. →Σ σ ς. (Sigma) 00:39, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

don't understand your criteria obout relevance of importance...

the page i wrote is about a well known band, producing LP worldwide, with his followers... as i told, searching google for Not-Ordinary Dead will show a lot of results for their works. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sig.lamorte (talk • contribs) 01:44, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

I didn't think the article asserted significance, or had coverage in 3rd party sources; it failed the criteria laid out at WP:NMUSIC.

I don't remember much about what was in the article, so I'm afraid I can't help you any further. Ask the deleting admin, RHaworth (talk · contribs), if you have more questions to ask. →Σ σ ς. (Sigma) 01:59, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

wikiblinks

This page should not be speedy deleted because...

This page should not be speedily deleted because... (your reason here) --Ambo77 (talk) 07:52, 20 January 2013 (UTC) The article is about a new social networking website: wikiblinks with new great groups : WikiStudents to help education and students all over the world and the second group is YourSite to help creating a collaborative web directory (please read the description on wikiblinks) similar to wikipedia. NO ADS. Please kindly reconsider undeleting the article and help me improve it, as it's my first attempt to write an article here on wikipedia. Please also kindly visit wikiblinks you can see it's new and does not support even a single ad. I believe that wikiblinks has a great target/initiative towards education and open source support. Thank you for your time, attention and effort. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ambo77 (talk • contribs)

The article described how great it was, and nothing else. Articles like that are speedily deletable as spam.

You can contact the admin who deleted it, Mike Rosoft (talk · contribs) if you need more details. →Σ σ ς. (Sigma) 19:07, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

lowercase sigmabot III in other project and manual

Hello, I beg your pardon. Can Your bot User:lowercase sigmabot III to work in other Wikipedia, in particular, in the Russian Wikipedia, and if he can work in projects that do not belong to the Wikimedia Foundation? Are there to work instructions for installation and use? Thank you.--Ворота рая Импресариата (talk) 07:36, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

As far as I know, there aren't instructions for setting it up on another wiki, but a competent Python programmer should be able to figure it out. →Σ σ ς. (Sigma) 19:07, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Bad, when the use of such an important bot is available only to programmers. And whether it can be set non-programmer? Because the bot is very needed.

You really shouldn't be running the code for this bot. It requires setting up various databases, IRC bots, etc. Additionally, it isn't stable, has numerous bugs, and has many English Wikipedia and toolserver-specific settings hardcoded into it. →Σ σ ς. (Sigma) 09:19, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
