Discussion
[edit]Note that the bot flag is on ruWP, and you don't have a bot flag on enWP, which is what the "Already has a bot flag" field implies. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 12:50, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I have noted, thanks. H2Bot (talk) 12:55, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Also, the operator should be User:Haffman, as any enWP page bot problems would be generally directed to your enWP account's talk pages (not ru talk page). The bot account's page should clearly identify that it is (will be) an approved bot and link to your main account (see Wikipedia:BOTPOL#Bot_requirements). I suggest that you post messages from your main account instead of your bot account. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 14:44, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I have fixed the "Operator" field for you. Please use the {{bot}} template on the bot's userpage, and consider creating at least a minimal page for yourself at User:Haffman and User talk:Haffman pointing out that you're most active at the Russian Wikipedia. And do note WP:Bot policy prohibits using the bot account for responding to talk page posts and other non-bot edits; use your regular user account for that purpose.

- I've registered account for support the bot. What else?

- Вроде всё впорядке. I guess you should now wait for someone from BAG to give you a trial. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 14:30, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Approved for trial (25 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Please read through the local bot policy, especially the section on interwiki linking before making any edits. - EdoDodo talk 19:39, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Trial complete.. Haffman 13:44, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Note On 2 Dec 2010, the bot created a series of new articles that appeared to be the Russian translations of existing English-language articles. I don't know if that was Haffman themself thinking they were creating them on the ru.wiki or what. I left a note on Haffman's ru.wiki talk page. Syrthiss (talk) 15:27, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I made a mistake (I've forget to change 'ru.wikipedia' to 'en.wikipedia' in bot configuration). I apologize. --Haffman 10:30, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Not a problem, thats what I figured happened. :) Syrthiss (talk) 12:30, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
