Once more I'm off to do some work.
(Yes, that's a flying tank)

Unprintworthy redirects

Hi Σ, thank you for the marvellous job done by your SigmaBot. There are still plenty of unprintworthy redirects to be fixed (see 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5). I hope you will find the time to work also on them. Thank you in advance and excuse me for my insistence. --Checco (talk) 15:49, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi Σ, I know about the issue raised by an editor because I followed your edits and talk page over the last two weeks. As a reminder of what I would like your bot to do, I am simply going to copy the request made at Wikipedia:Bot requests (I hope it is enough):

Some pages have been moved and I'm asking you to bypass the redirects in all the other pages as they are unencyclopedic, bizarre and de facto unprintworthy. The pages are:

• Italian Liberal Party – moved from Italian Liberal Party (historical)
• Italian Liberal Party (2004) – moved from Italian Liberal Party (current)
• Christian Democracy (Italy) – moved from Christian Democracy (Italy, historical)
• Christian Democracy (Italy, 1997) – moved from Christian Democracy (Italy, current)
• Christian Democracy for Autonomies – moved from Christian Democracy for Autonomies

All the pages containing one of the five original article titles should be edited. You can check 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 to see what articles still need to be edited by your bot according to the bot request for approval. --Checco (talk) 08:00, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Please excuse me. Christian Democracy for the Autonomies was moved to Christian Democracy for Autonomies (all the pages containing unprintworthy redirects are listed in link1). In link2, link3, link4, and link5 you will find the unprintworthy redirects of the other four articles. --Checco (talk) 16:21, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

AWB script broke template

AWB run by you broke the use of the template at Karelian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. Compare your version to the previous version. I think the proper template here is Infobox SSR, but if you feel there's a more appropriate template, please feel free to implement it. I only ask that you implement it correctly without breaking anything. If you don't have the time or the desire to fix it, just say the word and I'll revert to the previous version (and maybe try to clean it up some). —Firespeaker (talk) 01:01, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

Infobox SSR got deleted by a TfD. I'll try fixing it by hand. --Σ ^talk_contribs 01:20, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

Hm, you redid it as a former country (which it wasn't), and managed to get rid of a lot of the information I'd added to the template. See how I had it as a former subdivision. Do you have more information on the deletion of Infobox SSR? That seems like something that probably shouldn't be deleted. I was all ready to fix it (making population density an automatic calculation, adding some fields, etc.). —Firespeaker (talk) 00:36, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

WP:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2011_May_14#Template:Infobox_SSR I was never aware of the subdivision's infobox. You can undo my replacement of the infobox if you wish. --Σ ^talk_contribs 02:12, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

Hornet nest

• Hush, why are you stirring the hornet nest? Cripes, you want him to chew your ass out like what he did to me??? Plus, it makes it look like you're the one posting that last message. Oh, and I do watchlist pages after my post. --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 02:06, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

Ah, good gravy, that IP needs to control its temper... I didn't check its contributions before reading the discussion. A stealthy revert will now take place. Thanks for alerting me. --Σ ^talk_contribs 02:09, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

• IF you must pass/say something, the most sensible place to do so would be WP:Wikiquette alerts#Dave1185, the whole thing goes on air "live" 24/7. BTW, I'm quite well done talking to the pipsqueak. Best and out. --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 02:18, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

I've commented on that discussion, with a thought from what I happened to read earlier today. --Σ ^talk_contribs 02:22, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

• BINGO! For some strange reasons, I had a sneaky feeling someone might come up with something today... lo and behold, you've really nailed him now! Thanks, you really made my Sunday sweeter than it normally is. --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 02:56, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

Wait, I'm right? --Σ ^talk_contribs 03:00, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

• Yes, just do a comparison between them, Special:Contributions/Tasc0 AND Special:Contributions/2.220.204.70, noticed the similarity now??? Like I said, I've been exonerated! --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 03:12, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

• That said, I've spoken to another Admin on User talk:HelloAnnyong#Sockpuppet investigations/Tasc0. Jack Ryan: "We should give this Russian a wide berth." Its been an honour working with you, best and out. --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 17:59, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

Nose of a seeker

• Just nailed another sock, see WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Chaosname. --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 17:49, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

• WP:Wikiquette alerts#Dave1185
• Someone is stirring the hornet's nest again... and we have more WP:Drama again... *sigh* Anyway, now that I found an archived page of the original news report that supports the quoted "explained" instead of the IP's insisted version of "said". In your opinion, do you think it will shut the pundits potty mouth for good? --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 02:32, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

Maybe. --Σ ^talk_contribs 02:34, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

• I agree, that's a big "may be". --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 02:39, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

Not an orphan

It is linked from Islam and antisemitism.Thanks.--Mbz1 (talk) 03:22, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

{{orphan}} says "few or no articles link to it", and 1 being counted as "few", I tagged it. Thanks. --Σ ^talk_contribs 03:23, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

I added it to Mein Kampf and to Nazi relations with the Arab world Could you please remove the tag now?Thanks.--Mbz1 (talk) 03:39, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

You could've been bold, but in any case, I've removed it. --Σ ^talk_contribs 04:20, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

Re: This is how you blow up Toolserver

Heh, I just noticed this while going over your user page. Using User:ClueBot works, too. User:ClueBot NG has about 660K edits. User:ClueBot has 1.6M edits (it has more because it was around for several years -- ClueBot NG is catching up quickly). Also, I ran my own edit counter recently:

Fascinating! And could ClueBot ever protect pages? --Σ ^talk_contribs 16:50, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

Only by asking for it on IRC. -- Cobi^(t|c|b) 19:33, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
