There were two pages that his Bots used to archive at my request: User talk:WJBscribe Currect archive= User talk:WJBscribe/Archive 4 When to archive= Threads older than 7 days Maximum archive size= 75K Wikipedia talk:WikiProject LGBT studies Current archive= Wikipedia talk:WikiProject LGBT studies/Archive 5 When to archive= Threads older than 7 days Maximum archive size= 150K Would be very grateful if the appropriate MiszaBots could take over the archiving of those pages. Thanks, WjBscribe 15:13, 7 March 2007 (UTC) Ready. Миша13 17:15, 7 March 2007 (UTC) Hi there! Could you find it in your heart to bot archive my talk pages, too? I was using Werdnabot, but it has been (temporarily?) decommissioned for reasons I have not been able to determine. User talk:Jeffpw Current archive= User talk:Jeffpw/archive 5 When to archive= Threads older than 2 days Maximum archive size= 75 kb Thanks in advance. Jeffpw 14:44, 10 March 2007 (UTC) Ready. Миша13 14:58, 10 March 2007 (UTC) Misza, there an error in Jeff's request above- his current archive is actually User talk:Jeffpw/Archive 5... WjBscribe 15:00, 10 March 2007 (UTC) Fixed. Миша13 15:03, 10 March 2007 (UTC) My user page deleted Hey, I noticed you deleted my user page: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=delete&user=&page=User%3A2help , because it had not been active for a month. OK, I didn't realize that was a policy on Wikipedia. Did you even tag it for deletion previously? In any case, I understand your good intentions. I had some useful links there however, any chance I could get them back or is the page lost for good? 2help 07:13, 8 March 2007 (UTC) It's not that simple. You have the template {{test5i}} transcluded on your page. It adds your page to the Category:Temporary Wikipedian userpages, which gets cleaned up periodically. But that assumes that the template was put on pages of users that were indefinitely blocked, which is not the case here. Since it is only me, who does the cleanup recently, before the next run I'll think of something so that it doesn't get deleted again. Sorry for any inconvenience caused. Happy editing, Миша13 08:10, 8 March 2007 (UTC) OK, that makes sense. Thanks for reposting the page. Let me know if there is anything I can do make your cleanup process easier. 2help 00:20, 9 March 2007 (UTC) Hi, I saw this discussion while here on Bot business. I've removed the Category: Temporary Wikipedian userpages from 2help's userpage. Given that he must use the shortcuts on the left and not copy and paste from the right, it doesn't seem to affect his use of warnings whether the cat is there or not (he just wants to see what they look like)... WjBscribe 15:30, 10 March 2007 (UTC) Heh, I should've checked the page's contents myself. Then I'd probably notice that a bot has substituted them already 3 months ago. Anyway, that means they're probably severely out of date now (with the help of the WP:UW project). Oh well... Миша13 15:35, 10 March 2007 (UTC) I left a message on his talkpage including a link to WP:UWT so he can find out about the shiny new warning system... WjBscribe 15:37, 10 March 2007 (UTC) Werdnabot Given that this Bot is unavailable for now- and at worse case scenario may have become ownerless, I think its important to draw people's attention to this and suggest your bot as an alternative. Otherwise Wikipedia may drown in its own talk (and boy do we all like to talk!). I was thinking of a post at WP:AN and on the Village Pump (I don't see any so far). Just wanted to check with you first as to whether you minded the possibly large inflow of requests you might get... WjBscribe 14:40, 10 March 2007 (UTC) I think I could quite easily process even 10s of requests as long as they follow instructions. Worse thing will be with cleaning up the talk pages from old code (if I'm not mistaken, WB used to maintain and update archive indexes - a feature MiszaBot doesn't have yet). Миша13 14:45, 10 March 2007 (UTC) Yeah, it did that if the "archivelist=" parameter was included, but it looks like most users of the template did not included it. So either people didn't want it, or didn't realise it could do that. Either way the function shouldn't be missed too much.... If you're happy with the extra requests I'll post a couple of notes about Werdnabot and suggest your Bot as an alternative. Thanks, WjBscribe 14:50, 10 March 2007 (UTC) archival request Hi Misza - I request the User:MiszaBot III's services to archive my talkpage. What page do you want the bot to archive? (D'oh!): User talk:Rama's Arrow Sole archive (target): User talk:Rama's Arrow/Archive2007-A (no variables) Posts should be archived every 10 days. No maximum archive size. Cheers, Rama's arrow 15:51, 10 March 2007 (UTC) Ready. I've actually set it to /Archive$Y-A in the special "dated" mode, which means it should switch by itself next year. It'll however have a hard time with big, year-old archives... :/ Миша13 15:57, 10 March 2007 (UTC) Thanks! As regards to the year, can you set it to switch to user talk:Rama's Arrow/Archive2007-B after June 30, 2007? Basically I'm trying to have 2 archives for each year. Lemme know if there's anything I can do to simplify the process. Thanks again, Rama's arrow 18:31, 10 March 2007 (UTC) Well, right now it only supports variables for the year and month of thread. For an example, see how my archives are organised. I don't think I'll be adding this particular feature (-A and -B), unless I implement some sort of formula parsing, so just bug me in summer whenever it's time to turn the counter. Миша13 18:57, 10 March 2007 (UTC) Aite cool! Thanks again! Rama's arrow 01:21, 11 March 2007 (UTC) Bot status granted Congratulations! I have flagged you as a bot! =Nichalp «Talk»= 18:35, 10 March 2007 (UTC) LOL, not me but my bot, hopefully, but thanks! :) Миша13 18:55, 10 March 2007 (UTC) Yet another bot archive request Your bot has successfully archived my talk pages, for which I thank you. A wikifriend of mine asked me to set up Werdnabot on his talk page (this before we knew Werdna died). I set up archives for him, and am now making the bot request on his behalf. You can see his request to me here. his page: User talk:Labyrinth13 Archive: User talk:Labyrinth13/Archive 1 When to archive= More than 2 days Maximum archive size= 75 kb. Thanks a lot for providing this help. Sincerely, Jeffpw 19:03, 10 March 2007 (UTC) Already requested at User:MiszaBot/Archive requests and ready. Миша13 19:13, 10 March 2007 (UTC) Thanks for the archive work Thank you for taking over the archival of my talk page. HighInBC(Need help? Ask me) 19:15, 10 March 2007 (UTC) My thanks too, I think you deserve: The da Vinci Barnstar For setting up Bots to take over the archiving work of the EssjayBots and Werdnabot. WjBscribe 19:20, 10 March 2007 (UTC) Bot III Features Is there a feature list somewhere? Like, will it create an {{archivebox}} automatically, or just add to one, etc? Thanx... — RevRagnarok Talk Contrib 14:02, 11 March 2007 (UTC) No, there is no feature list at the moment, because I expect it to evolve rapidly soon. So far it can put threads into archives and move on to next when they reach a certain size (in kilobytes). It lacks the automatic updating of an archive box yet, and that's gonna be one difficult feature to add. Миша13 14:06, 11 March 2007 (UTC) OK, just checking. Apparently, I'm not the only one with the problem that I had EssjayBot doing it, so then went to Werdnabot which never even ran on mine. Anyway, what language is it in? I may be able to contribute a little. — RevRagnarok Talk Contrib 14:18, 11 March 2007 (UTC) A task for you WP:AIV Has filled up at an alarming rate, and is extremely backlogged. Can you please sort it out? Retiono Virginian 14:30, 11 March 2007 (UTC) Wikipedia Weekly Notification!

Ta! It works wonderfully! Ta! :) Gwen Gale 20:50, 11 March 2007 (UTC) Oops For some reason your archive bot put the archive here: User talk:HighInBC/Archive $I, looks like it is reading a variable literally. HighInBC(Need help? Ask me) 02:38, 12 March 2007 (UTC) Looks like the same prob happened with all the archiving done at 02:35 [1]. WjBscribe 02:45, 12 March 2007 (UTC) I have blocked the bot for 24 hours, so it does not do it again on it's next run(I assume it runs at automatic intervals). Once you know what has gone wrong I will gladly unblock. Sorry about that, thank you for filling in with this much needed service. HighInBC(Need help? Ask me) 02:46, 12 March 2007 (UTC) Oops indeed. I have rewritten the variable handling yesterday, uploaded the new code to toolserv, uploaded updated config for I and II, but forgot about III. :-P Anyway, since it's fixed and mess cleaned up, I'll unblock it myself, if you don't mind. And thanks for keeping an eye on it - it's still in rapid development stage and while I test it before running, errors such as this may still happen. Миша13 10:05, 12 March 2007 (UTC) Essjay Could you tell me where you think the sourcing of the Essjay article is lacking? I'm truly keen on knowing what you think :) Gwen Gale 12:49, 12 March 2007 (UTC) I'm not suggesting any lackings. My sarcasm was rather refering to the fact that any articles on controversial, even-if-marginally-notable-outside-Wikipedia topics tend to have their references section blown out of proportion compared to the size of article, with nearly every sentence referenced. This of course is required so that noone can find a proper stick to kill the article with. And by the way, I really and without sarcasm would like people to concentrate on the 1,6M+ other articles we have, most of which are crap beyond imagination with regard to refernces. Миша13 13:00, 12 March 2007 (UTC) Aye, that's the pith. Gwen Gale 13:03, 12 March 2007 (UTC) Hey by the way I think this is spot on. Gwen Gale 14:05, 12 March 2007 (UTC) Bot problem Hi Misza13, thank you so much for taking my order. There seems to be a proble, though. The bot is archiving my messages to Archive03, not Archive3 as I'd requested. Is that how it work? Thanks a lot. Xiner (talk, email) 14:49, 12 March 2007 (UTC) No, it's an error on my side. I must've just made an error when copy-pasting the configuration. Should be fixed now. Миша13 14:55, 12 March 2007 (UTC) Cool, I see it's working beautifully now. Thanks! Xiner (talk, email) 14:59, 12 March 2007 (UTC) Kosova If you have written the article on Kosova then you have written lies! I was deleting those lies and the things which had nothing to do with Kosova. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ulpian morina (talk • contribs) 15:38, 12 March 2007 (UTC). Archiving Bot Hello, Misza! Just wanted to let you know that I added my talk page to your list. Great job creating the bot, it makes many Wikipedians' lives much easier! --Cremepuff222 (talk, sign book, review me!) 22:50, 12 March 2007 (UTC) Thank you! --Cremepuff222 (talk, sign book, review me!) 23:55, 12 March 2007 (UTC) hater club page I think you should protect this page. See the history. BuickCenturyDriver (Honk, contribs, odometer) 23:06, 12 March 2007 (UTC) can you undelete an image that you deleted? Misza13, can you undelete Image:PlanViewPascuaLama.jpg. I believe it was deleted b/c it was not in the article (Pascua Lama), yet. If it's undeleted, I'll add it to the article in question. Thanks! Earthsound 05:29, 13 March 2007 (UTC) Ready. Please add the image and remove the orphan tags from the image. Миша13 17:47, 13 March 2007 (UTC) Signpost updated for March 12th, 2007.

Hey, why did you block the user "Can't sleep, Retiono Virginian will eat me" because of username!!?? That's unfair!! If you people can tolerate the presence of "Can't sleep, clown will eat me", why can't you allow this one!!?? --Edmundkh 16:48, 13 March 2007 (UTC) There is a troll who has been taking names very similar to User:Can't sleep, clown will eat me's name to cause disruption. This choice of name has been used has a form of harassment in the past. HighInBC(Need help? Ask me) 16:49, 13 March 2007 (UTC) Image:Trendypopup.jpg This fair use image became orphaned due to vandalism that was not correctly reverted. Do you feel that its fair-use rationale still applies to the article (Pop-up Video)? –Unint 19:37, 13 March 2007 (UTC) I would say yes, but don't quote me on this (I'm not an expert). Since it was deleted by mistake, I have restored it. Миша13 20:50, 13 March 2007 (UTC) Do Unreplied Does MiszaBot III archive unreplied messages? --TeckWiz ParlateContribs@ 23:49, 13 March 2007 (UTC) Yes - it makes decisions basedon oldest timestamp in a thread. Sections without timestamps are ignored (will add an option to archive these in future). Миша13 00:02, 14 March 2007 (UTC) Shouldn't it archive based on the newest comment? Otherwise a very long thread (lets say 10 days) will be archived though it's still ongoing. --TeckWiz ParlateContribs@ 00:12, 14 March 2007 (UTC) Did I say "oldest"? Please discard my incoherent babbling - it's 1AM here... Of course it looks on the newest timestamp. Миша13 00:20, 14 March 2007 (UTC) How about MiszaBot II? It would be nice on places like Wikipedia:Drawing board to leave requests that haven't gotten replies yet alone when archiving. The idea being that once the clutter of replied to requests are archived, the unreplied requests will stand out better, not to mention that these users deserve a reply even if there's a backlog. Thanks! —Elipongo (Talk|contribs) 07:00, 15 March 2007 (UTC) MiszaBot III weirdness Hey, I've noticed that MiszaBot III has been archiving threads from my user page to User talk:Coredesat/Archive 07. The threads should be going to User talk:Coredesat/Archive 7. Could you fix this? --Coredesat 05:21, 14 March 2007 (UTC) Thanks for the quick fix. :) --Coredesat 20:39, 14 March 2007 (UTC) User talk:Jimbo Wales archiving age User talk:Jimbo Wales is currently archiving threads older than 2 days. It was originally 7 days, but I lowered it due to the high traffic it had been receiving due to the Essjay incident. Now that the high traffic has subsided, it might be a good idea to return to the old behaviour. --cesarb 07:33, 14 March 2007 (UTC) Adjusted. Миша13 21:15, 14 March 2007 (UTC) I love it! Hi, Michael. I just love the new MiszaBot III. It is one of the best bots here. Great work! --Meno25 07:51, 14 March 2007 (UTC) Harry potter and the Deathly Hallows, talk Could you please stop your bot auto archiving the above page? Sandpiper 19:08, 14 March 2007 (UTC) I have disabled it per your request, although I don't understand what's wrong with it. Please make up your mind - I didn't come to set up the archiving on my own, but was asked by someone else (User:Fbv65edel). Миша13 19:21, 14 March 2007 (UTC) Hi Misza, I know Essjay used to insist on seeing a concensus on an article's talkpage before he was willing to archive it. If this sort of thing continues, you might want to introduce a similar requirement for MiszaBot. WjBscribe 19:24, 14 March 2007 (UTC) People put comments on talk pages and might like to read the answers they get before the whole lot gets deleted. 5 days delay is crazy. Aside from that, 5 months is crazy if a point is important and still relevant to the contents of the page. You can't just archive away things useful to editors. I have made up my mind, and on this point I havn't changed it. I don't recall anyone asking. FBV did ask about himself archiving some stuff on that page, but in that case he also went ahead and did it before I even noticed he was considering it, which rather illustrated my first point. Sandpiper 00:58, 15 March 2007 (UTC) Bot not working right? It seems that every time bot III runs, it stops at Martinp23, and my page has yet to be archived. Is there something wrong? --TeckWiz ParlateContribs@ 20:30, 14 March 2007 (UTC) Yes, the user right after Martin was renamed and the bot freaked out on a page redirect. Such problems will be entirely fixed once I implement a Werdnabot-style template-based config. Миша13 20:34, 14 March 2007 (UTC) ::Okay. And also, my page just archived to User talk:TeckWiz/Archive/2007/Ma, when it should go to User talk:TeckWiz/Archive/2007/Mar (not the "r" at the end.) It should be going to User talk:TeckWiz/Archive/{{CURRENTYEAR}}/{{CURRENTMONTHABBREV}}. --TeckWiz ParlateContribs@ 20:40, 14 March 2007 (UTC) Your fast! --TeckWiz ParlateContribs@ 20:42, 14 March 2007 (UTC) Odd behavior today For some reason, today it archived one thread from User talk:RevRagnarok (edit | [[Talk:User talk:RevRagnarok|talk]] | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) and then did another, five minutes later? — RevRagnarok Talk Contrib 20:56, 14 March 2007 (UTC) One was the scheduled and the other manual. I was tweaking TeckWiz's page settings and the other thread just happened to jump on the second round. :) Scheduled runs start on HH:35 (every 6 hours). Миша13 21:01, 14 March 2007 (UTC) OK, that makes sense - manual run ;) — RevRagnarok Talk Contrib 01:52, 15 March 2007 (UTC) Wikipedia Weekly Notification!
