Hi:) I deleted this page's content and you redid (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:SaraKatherinsmile/Sara_Katherine_Johnson&action=edit). I made the page when I was in high school and my account also got blocked because I was being dumb and edited Ashton Kutcher's page as well. Anyways, the page I edited was my personal page. Since I'm getting older and trying to present a better online image I was trying to erase the page. Please let me know what I can do to make this happen.

:Alright, thanks for letting me know. The way to request a page to be deleted is not to blank it though, it is to tag it for speedy deletion by author request, which I have done. Thanks again!

VoxelBot
Hi. I wanted to touch base regarding your new bot task for FL and FA closing. I posted a link there to some documentation I wrote up for the FA-related closes. Please let me know if you need me to elaborate on anything. In the meantime, I will continue to manually close FACs and FARs; drop me a line when you're ready for a test run, so I can leave you something to work with. Thanks. Maralia (talk) 19:25, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
- I'm a bit coded out for now; I worked on the bot for a whole day and it's turning out to be more complicated than I thought. I'm taking a bit of a break and will get back to it when I can. Thank you though, that will help. I'll let you know when I have something to test. Vacation9 22:31, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
- I understand; it's a fairly complex task. The manual work is a nuisance but I've covered for the bot several times before, so I suppose it won't be the death of me anytime soon :) Let me know if any step proves particularly difficult; I might be able to suggest a different approach. Maralia (talk) 19:52, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
- Alright, thanks. I have a question: is it possible for delists not to be covered by the bot? I completely forgot about them when writing it and so my current code is modeled around listings. It would be quite a bit of work to modify for delists, especially considering all the stuff that needs to be done and all the codes for ArticleHistory delistings. It would be possible, but it would take a while. Are delists relatively rare? Vacation9 20:28, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
- Everything is finished (delists not implemented) and I'm ready for a test over at FAC. Already tested at FLC. When you can, just let me know when you have an FAC that's closed. Vacation9 21:42, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
- To make sure I'm understanding you: the current code is ready to test for FAC promotions and archivals, and FAR keeps, but not FAR delistings, yes? That's manageable for the short term, since these days we only have maybe 5 FAR delistings per month on average. It can be the next step after you've had a chance to iron out any issues with the current code.
- I would expect there to be more closings tonight or tomorrow night; I'll drop you a note if I see them happen. Maralia (talk) 23:37, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, that is correct. The bot code runs every day, so it should catch it fine. It is possible I can implement delistings in the future, yes. Vacation9 23:38, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the progress! Could the bot please say "Article history" also in the edit summary? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:07, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Edit requests on caste pages
Just a note that you should take very extreme care when answering an edit request on a caste-related talk page. As you can see in my explanation there, the alleged source that was given to you is never, ever, under any situation reliable, as we know for a fact that a very large portion of their books are just unattributed copies of Wikipedia articles. The reason for semi-protection on most of these articles is because of rampant POV pushing by anons and non-confirmed editors, who very often want to turn pages about their own caste into glorification of their past based on myths and "personal knowledge". Qwyrxian (talk) 05:51, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for notifying, I apologize about this. I was a bit on the fence, but I assumed good faith and made the edit. The edit made sense, but I see your point. Thanks again! Vacation9 05:55, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
Relisting AfDs
Please double-check that everything worked as intended when relisting AfD debates - quite a few you relisted today were not removed from the 16th's log. Thanks. - The Bushranger One ping only 08:56, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, it seemed there were quite a few edit conflicts for the old log when relisting. I tried to manually correct it, but of course I ran into edit conflict after edit conflict. I'll try to fix it again now. Vacation9 14:37, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
- Oh, you removed them for me; thanks! Vacation9 14:45, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
Section Break
Please look carefully what i did --Greek Transistor (talk) 00:56, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
- Even if they are the same, that's not the way to say so. What you should do is request the page be deleted because it is a duplicate - not blank the page. See WP:CSD#A10. Happy editing! Vacation9 00:59, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
