If you are here to register a complaint regarding my bot's edits, before doing so please note:

There is a very clear policy regarding the use of non-free images, which must be followed by all users. Even you. This policy is located at Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria. You must read this.
Do not revert the bot's edits to your userpages or templates, because the bot will just do it again.
All images must comply with policy.
If you're here to whine and complain that the bot screwed up, please at least include a link. Diffs are even better, but a link to the image is sufficient. I do not really want to go through your contributions just to find that the error was yours, not mine.
We do not permit fair use, copyrighted images be used outside of the article namespace. Please see WP:NFCC#9
Bug reports are very welcome.

Questions and complaints regarding your images, rather than this bot, can be directed to the Image Copyright Help Desk where a team of volunteers will endeavor to offer useful advise in a convivial atmosphere.

And some unrelated FAQs:

Q: You added a tag too fast when I uploaded it! I was in the middle of adding source/license/rationale when you tagged it!
A: That's OK, just remove the tag, and get it. It was just bad luck that I checked right when your image was at the top of the list. As a tip, just try to fill it out correctly the first time, to avoid this happening in the future.
Q: Your bot keeps adding {{orphan}} to pages that are disambiguations such as Habermas!
A: Unfortunately, that is a Pywikipedia error. I have no control over that, sorry. The reason is that it uses a special disamiguation template that Pywikipedia does not recognize.
Q: I found an orphaned page and I want to know how I can help this page not be orphaned anymore.
A: You could try going to related pages, such as the month/day/year of birth and linking from there (if it is a notable person). You also might want to check out Wikipedia:WikiProject Orphanage, that has some tips on how to make it not orphan.
Q: When will your bot remove the template after I add links?/How many links does it take to remove the template?/I have made the page not orphan anymore. Could you remove the template please?
A: My bot does not remove the template, it only adds it. If it is no longer orphan, go ahead and remove it yourself.
Q: Your bot made a mistake, it removed (link) when it should not have!
A: This, unfortunately, is not my problem. I am using a default pywikipedia script, interwiki.py. Please talk to one of the pywikipedia developers about it, as I am not looking at and approving any of its edits.
Q: I am having some problems joining the Account creation mailing list, could you help me?
A: I did make the tool, yes, but I actually am not a mailing list admin. I am just a member.
Q: Confused about my ++, +-, +=, etc. edit summaries?
A: Key: ++= Support/keep. +-= Oppose/delete. += = Neutral. +*= Comment. +>= Move.

Hi! please don't treat the website as database for your bots. if your bot wants to save such information somewhere, it can maintain local database, and anyone interested can go and query it. Your Evil DBA, Sincerely 18:44, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've blocked the bot for the moment. --brion (talk) 19:21, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(confused) Uhh...what do you mean? Soxred 93 19:42, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No more statusbot? xenocidic ( talk ¿ listen ) 20:12, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't get this. Enigma ^message 20:26, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I gather the bot made too many edits in a short time. Could this not be solved by increasing the time interval to say 1 hour, rather than 15 minutes? xenocidic ( talk ¿ listen ) 20:31, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See the userpage for elaboration. Soxred 93 20:41, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think a mistake may have been made (at least in reasoning if not the result) by User:Midom this bot does not update pages for somewhere to store information, it updates pages as the request of editors who wish to show there online/offline status. It's used for example in the status display of active users in Wikipedia:Highly_Active_Users/North_America. SunCreator (talk) 23:39, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Agree, this isn't a database, this bot is making useful edits requested by users, if the frequency is killing the servers, then would running it less often satisfy the needs? If user variables were available and transcludable this wouldn't be needed at all e.g. {{USERVAR:Xaosflux/LASTEDIT}}. — xaosflux ^Talk 23:57, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I guess I still don't get why the bot was shut down? §hep • ¡Talk to me! 17:38, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think it was shut down because it made Too Many Edits™. If you'd like a workaround, see WT:Highly_Active_Users#Interim_workaround, we're also trying for a uservar as mentioned above. xenocidic ( talk ¿ listen ) 17:40, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Gotcha. Thanks for the work around! §hep • ¡Talk to me! 17:44, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

SoxBot on simple:

Hi there, I've now blocked SoxBot on simple: - I'm a bit nervous about it being blocked over here. If you can show that the server admins aren't going to get annoyed with it running on simple:, I'd be happy to unblock it. Sorry!

Retagging of do-attempt pages

Soxbot seems to retag do-attempt pages as orphans. This is not helpful for Wikipedia:O since we tag them as attempted to be able to weed through the list and leave the attempts for another time. See http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bigflix&action=history for an example. Is there a solution for this? Shoombooly (talk) 22:51, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yep. Ask me. Done. Soxred 93 00:04, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

== Bot Playing up Again ==

Hi, Your bot is again raping image:internode.jpg

I have express written permission from Simon hackett (CEO of Internode) stating that I may use the internode logo on my ISP userbox which is both imformative and decorative. Please get your bot to leave the logo, and the userboxes using it alone. Prom3th3an (talk) 07:07, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please see points 2 and 5 in my FAQ above. Soxred 93 12:17, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
