ATTENTION! IF YOU ARE REPORTING AN ISSUE WITH ONE OF MY BOTS, AND YOU'D LIKE IT TO BE FIXED BEFORE THE HEAT DEATH OF THE UNIVERSE:

• Visit https://jira.ts.wikimedia.org/secure/CreateIssue!default.jspa (you will need to register)
• Select:
  • Project: ST47's tools
  • Issue Type: Bug, new feature, whatever. If you don't know what this means, choose bug.
• Click next.
• Fill in a short summary, select a priority level, and look to see if the name of the bot is listed in the components section. If it is, select is, otherwise, select unknown.
• Ignore affects version and fix version, I'll fill them in myself
• Ignore assignee
• If this is a problem with the bot that I am running, ignore 'enviroment'. If you are running my code, put your operating system and other information there.
• Add a detailed description, and
• Hit 'create'.

I'll receive an email immediately, and you will get an email back if I need more information, or once I fix the issue.

While I will receive a message on my talk page eventually, I have Ways of Knowing when I get new bugs filed through this process.

Contents Let me be the first to congratulate you. ...that is if you are the user ST47 on stardust@home; for discovering a possible particle from outer space. (Just was looking through the candidates list, and your name looked familiar from irc and wikipedia) -- Cimon Avaro; on a pogostick. 15:57, 6 November 2007 (UTC) Josephine Ho Please restore Josephine Ho. She is extremely famous here in Taiwan and you must have been crazy to delete it. Jidanni 10:28, 8 November 2007 (UTC) User:Caknuck deleted it, not me. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 13:40, 8 November 2007 (UTC) OK, you might even want to emphasize on your templates: "xxxx" is the bad guy who deleted your article, User:ST47 is the good guy who alerted you to the damage. Jidanni 00:36, 9 November 2007 (UTC) heh! Maybe I should make that more clear :) --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 00:47, 9 November 2007 (UTC) Two of your bots Hi, I've found a couple of bugs with two of your bots: At [1], ImageBacklogBot did not remove the image correctly. It incorrectly assumed that the ]] at the end of 'India' was the end of the image tag (it wasn't) and also it left a space at the beginning of the line which messed up the formatting. Looking at the code for AccReqBot, at lines 97 and 104, you've hard coded in the year 2007. You might want to change this so that the bot still works next year. Tra (Talk) 18:45, 9 November 2007 (UTC) Thanks! The second is easy enough, I'll have to fix the regexes for the first - maybe I'll just make it throw a warning in that case, also pretty easy. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 19:01, 9 November 2007 (UTC) re: extension It's been awhile since I've looked at that one, but I've copied to SVN and done a little cleaning. -Steve Sanbeg 20:28, 9 November 2007 (UTC) Thanks, I'll have a look :D --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 20:30, 9 November 2007 (UTC) I've made a small change to allow things like &assert=bot&nassert=exists to work. I'd agree it's ready for use; then we can look at whether more complex and/or are useful. -Steve Sanbeg 21:53, 12 November 2007 (UTC) Excellent - that's the big reason that my patch was incomplete. I'll ping TimStarling when I see him and point him here, and see if he caninstall it! Thanks for your help, --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 22:13, 12 November 2007 (UTC) HK films PLease see Hong Kong films of 1968 now. Hiding the lines is better than removing them - they are there then for when I return and fill it ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 14:21, 11 November 2007 (UTC) OK. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 14:33, 11 November 2007 (UTC) 15th Regiment of Foot officers You, or your bot, :o) - just advised me of a speedy deletion tag on the article I just created. The article was created in error instead of a category. :( - Please delete ASAP. Many Thanks. Richard Harvey 14:20, 11 November 2007 (UTC)  Done --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 14:33, 11 November 2007 (UTC) Image:Armisticetrain.jpg and Image:Bobcat2.jpg Can you please delete Image:Armisticetrain.jpg and Image:Bobcat2.jpg? You uploaded these images which were used on the English Wikipedia's Main Page. Since images from the Wikimedia Commons which will be used on the English Wikipedia's Main Page are protected via the "cascading" protection, there's no need to upload them here; see commons:User:Zzyzx11/En main page. -- ADNghiem501 02:48, 12 November 2007 (UTC) Images on commons are not protected through cascading, not automatically. I'll delete them because they're no longer on the main page, but you lot need to figure out what your policy is on main page images. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 11:32, 12 November 2007 (UTC) (edit conflict) They're indeed protected because, in the Wikimedia Commons, they're transcluded into commons:User:Zzyzx11/En main page which is protected with the "cascading" option enabled, not here. In the future, if you upload temporary copies of images from the Wikimedia Commons for the Main Page, use {{C-uploaded}} which is a correct tag for those images. {{Mprotected}} is only used for images that are on the English Wikipedia and on the Main Page. -- ADNghiem501 23:32, 12 November 2007 (UTC) Minor details which are not a big deal. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 23:36, 12 November 2007 (UTC) Finally, Image talk:Bobcat2.jpg needs to be deleted per WP:CSD#G8 because its main title "Image:Bobcat2.jpg" no longer exists in the English Wikipedia. And for your last comment above, what minor details? -- ADNghiem501 23:50, 12 November 2007 (UTC) ST47/OCT Thanks! CBM and I (mostly CBM) cleared through the list. Most of the pages were simply redirects left over from a pagemove and were quickly deleted. The remaining few were otherwise handled (moved, incoming links updated) and deleted. – Black Falcon (Talk) 23:29, 12 November 2007 (UTC) Great :D --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 23:31, 12 November 2007 (UTC) Arbitraries, unacceptable. You write: "Good afternoon. I'm advising you that due to continued edit warring at Free Zone (Scientology), you are being banned from editing any Scientology-related articles for another 30 days. This ban will expire on December 13, 2007, at 0:00 UTC. Note that if you violate this ban by editing these articles, you will be blocked. Thanks, --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 00:31, 13 November 2007 (UTC)" a) you did not give any warning. b) I was not edit warring, but Fahrenheit451 was reverting me over and over again (he reverted my edits, not vice versa). c) I am thus not following your logic. Nor do I follow why the provocateur here does not even get ticked. Makes me think you have a different agenda, you know. Also that you "thank" me, for what, the good feeling to beat somebody who tries to enforce Wikipedia police and "no commercial advertisement"? Hard to believe. So, can you be more clear about this? Shutterbug 00:40, 13 November 2007 (UTC) As an afterthought, I might add that your action is effectively making any consensus impossible, will not improve the article. Why? Because what you say would exclude me from what you said on the article page. You froze it until a sortout is done and then you eradicate 50% of the debatants (which is me and Fahrenheit451). I just can't imagine that this is your purpose. Shutterbug 00:46, 13 November 2007 (UTC) With all due respect, you reverted his removal, did you not? The arbitration gave you plenty warning to get your act together, and in fact you just came off another ban not two weeks ago. Furthermore, Fahrenheit 451 has been advised that he should not continue edit-warring, but as that particular page is protected, sanctions against him are not necessary, unless you can show me that he has a history of edit warring on more than one article, in which case he will be warned, and if he attempts to edit-war again, he will be blocked. Finally, it's typically considered to be polite to sign off with some sort of nicety: good night, see you, or thanks all work just fine. With regards to your afterthought, well, edit warring wasn't improving it either. The arbcom has placed these articles on probation. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 00:51, 13 November 2007 (UTC) Oh, and to clarify, I've eliminated 50% of the warriors, not the 'debatants'. As far as my ban goes, you're free to discuss this with him, which is what you should have done in the first place. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 00:53, 13 November 2007 (UTC) Hm, this is not right. Fahrenheit451 is always part of any edit war with any Scientologist on Wikipedia. That's easy to prove. He just provokes and provokes and I have fallen for him earlier, that is true. The only action improving this article and any such article is a) to freeze it and b) to have all parties sort it out on the talk page. I welcomed you freezing the article (I would have asked for that on AN/I and have done so with other articles plenty of times). The sorting out part is what I am doing right now. Check it out, I think it'll work. Shutterbug 01:03, 13 November 2007 (UTC) Well, he's been warned, and if I see him provoking or participating in edit wars again, he'll be placed under the same ban you are. I'm certainly glad to hear that you're pursuing a solution, and if a solution is found, then I'm willing to shorten your ban. I'll keep an eye on the article's talk page. Have a good night, --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 01:21, 13 November 2007 (UTC) Well, I am going to work in a short while and might be back in a day or two. I am disagreeing with the ban. Before you go and leave this open unhandled, please cite some policy and why it is applied on me or what you expect me to do. There is no ban in the arbitration committee proceeding and I did my 30 days already, actually more than that. Double punishment should not exist at all, also not on Wikipedia. Aside that there is no point in that, taking the goal of better articles as something to reach. Shutterbug 02:01, 13 November 2007 (UTC) WP:AP, especially WP:APROB, and the enfocement number 7 i believe in the rfar. There is no double punishment, this is a separate ban for continued offenses. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 02:07, 13 November 2007 (UTC) I'm back. The discussion on the article talk page is done and resulted in a compromise article. I'm fine with it and don't intend to further work on it, except for eventually adding information (if I find some). Now, can you re-visit the subject and let me know? Thanks. Shutterbug (talk) 07:00, 17 November 2007 (UTC) Hi. Are you working on this or not? Misou (talk) 04:51, 23 November 2007 (UTC) I understand now. You are part of this "club", aren't you?. Misou 03:33, 4 December 2007 (UTC) Signpost updated for November 5th and 12th, 2007.

Any idea why the helper bots have stopped removing blocked users from Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism/TB2? —Wknight94 (talk) 14:27, 13 November 2007 (UTC) I had a play with it and it looks like it's working again now - hopefully that's it sorted. Ryan Postlethwaite 14:32, 13 November 2007 (UTC) Fantastic! So what broke it? And what fixed it? (So I can try to do the same in the future). —Wknight94 (talk) 14:37, 13 November 2007 (UTC) It's generally means something's wrong with the header of the page. I reverted back to a revision yesterday when the bots were working and had no problems[2] and luckily it started working again! If you see the diff, it was something to do with one of the functions of the bot being turned on. Ryan Postlethwaite 14:41, 13 November 2007 (UTC) You mean those little parameters that have no meaning to me and I figure will send the bot spinning off into space? Great. Guess I'll let someone else fix them in the future too... —Wknight94 (talk) 14:44, 13 November 2007 (UTC) Hehe, well I don't have a clue what the mean either - that's why I revert and hope for the best. If that fails to sort the problem, the best thing is to run away and hide! Ryan Postlethwaite 14:48, 13 November 2007 (UTC) What? I can't hear you. I'm hiding. —Wknight94 (talk) 14:52, 13 November 2007 (UTC) Aha, I think I know what happened. There was a spacing change in a place that shouldn't matter, but did to older versions of the helperbot. That combined with the fact that my hosting provider blew something up, so helperbot3 went down, and helperbot4 must be running a slightly older version of the code, so it couldn't handle the change in spacing. That explains why the "broken" revision worked when I tested it in my sandbox - if helperbot3 had actually been up at the time, it would have worked as well. ST47, you might want to make sure helperbot4 is on the latest source code when you get a chance. —Krellis (Talk) 15:42, 13 November 2007 (UTC) Will do. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 22:26, 13 November 2007 (UTC) MediationBot1 error Correct me if I'm wrong, but I heard you recently made some changes to MediationBot1 (talk · contribs). If that is the case, would you by any chance know what might have caused the bot to make this error with the date? -- tariqabjotu 20:49, 13 November 2007 (UTC) Probably the fact that I have no idea how perl's localtime works. I've corrected it. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 22:25, 13 November 2007 (UTC) A user from COFS Arbcomm history/issue is violating your topic ban FYI, it appears that Misou (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki) is violating your topic ban. Check his contrib history. Thanks. Curt Wilhelm VonSavage 07:53, 14 November 2007 (UTC). Your comment on Misou (talk · contribs)'s talk page: DIFF, and Misou's edits after your topic ban, to Scientology-related articles: DIFF 1, DIFF 2. Curt Wilhelm VonSavage 07:57, 14 November 2007 (UTC). Thanks for letting me know. I've clarified the reasoning for the ban, as there seems to have been some confusion, and I will watch for further violations. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 11:44, 14 November 2007 (UTC) Okay, sounds good, thanks for the response. Curt Wilhelm VonSavage 11:47, 14 November 2007 (UTC). It might also be helpful to note this at the appropriate section here, just so that other pertinent parties are in the loop. Curt Wilhelm VonSavage 11:51, 14 November 2007 (UTC). Please see User talk:Newyorkbrad#ArbCom ban has been reinstated. The user is still not clear on the basis for your extension of the ban, which states that it was based on "edit-warring" and he or she appears to have made only one edit on the article in question. Perhaps you could offer a further clarification, on my talk or elsewhere, if I have correctly understood the basis on which you were acting. Thanks and regards, Newyorkbrad 18:18, 14 November 2007 (UTC) Sig Heya...this might be a peculiar one, and it sure as heck is a selfish one...could you do something different with your signature? Just glancing at yours gives me eye-aches (precursors to migraine), and I don't want to have to avoid your postings! --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 00:23, 15 November 2007 (UTC) I suppose so, would it be easier if I just took the offending part and put it in a div so you could css it into oblivion? User:ST47 11:33, 15 November 2007 (UTC) Now I'm intrigued. What font do I need to see the offending parts? All I see is squares. —Wknight94 (talk) 12:13, 15 November 2007 (UTC) It's mostly unicode - it's the text "stfourtyseven" upside down. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 19:53, 15 November 2007 (UTC) Conflict in Wikipedia Peace be Upon you - السلام عليكم there is an obvious clear competition, if not a conflict going on between Arabs and Persions members in Wikipedia, and is taking the conflict to the next level, which is Wikipedia Credibility... i have created a page called Al Ahwaz which is a region with Arab majority, seeking independance, while Iran on the other hand denies any problems in the area, then i was sent a speedy deletion notification request, but i was away for a time that period and didnt check my talk page.. so i would like to know why it was deleted and by whom... and how can ethnic and racial conflicts be seperated from Wikipedia... as a user, i wish that the issue gets discussed by the Wikipedia Administrators... and im not only talking about Iranians and Arabs, but between Turks, Greeks and Armenians, Chinese and Japanese, Indians and Pakistanis, French and English, Argentinians and British.... Arabs and Israelis, etc... thank you Peace be with you - تصحبكم السلامة --Arab League User 17:27, 15 November 2007 (UTC) The user who you should ask is User:Awyong Jeffrey Mordecai Salleh. Have a good day, --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 19:52, 15 November 2007 (UTC) excuse me i did post information about the brent wilson copyright info! Why are you saying I didn't? JazzlineB 22:22, 15 November 2007 (UTC) There is no information about copyright, only ownership. See WP:ICT and the tag on the image for more information. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 23:31, 15 November 2007 (UTC) SEO for wiki articles I noticed you tagged my images. I think I fixed them the images are mine to use, so I used the drop down tab to highlight that to that effect. Also, how can I optimize the wiki entrys I did to show up at as a high listing on google. I see that when I type in certain words/search terms on google, the wiki article shows up as one of the first few results. Does it take a while for google to do it automatically? Is there anything I can do to speed up the process?? Thanks! -- Achasearchitect (talk) 19:33, 16 November 2007 (UTC) It will take a while for google to see a new article. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 23:44, 16 November 2007 (UTC) page protection Free Zone (Scientology) When do you lift the page protection? Neither User:Misou nor User:Shutterbug participate on talk page anymore. I think they won't since the page is protected in their version and both are topic banned for a month. User:Fahrenheit451 and me have reached consensus and even propose some changes in favour of Misou and Shutterbug(remove advertisement in idenics section). Could you take a look at talkpage and consider to unprotect the article ? -- Stan talk 21:04, 16 November 2007 (UTC) Done. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 23:43, 16 November 2007 (UTC) How about an answer? Shutterbug (talk) 06:52, 19 November 2007 (UTC) To what question? --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 11:33, 19 November 2007 (UTC) AIV helperbot removing extra report Somebody recent pointed out what looks like an error at Wikipedia talk:Administrator intervention against vandalism#AIV Helperbot mistake? -- specifically looking at this edit where two IPs are removed, but only one is mentioned in the summary. Last I knew, they only remove one entry at a time. The particular bot in this case directs inquiries to your talk page, so. ;) Just thought I should bring that to your attention. – Luna Santin (talk) 21:16, 16 November 2007 (UTC) Yeah, this has been happening a lot recently. I concur with Krellis's evaluation of the edit. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 23:46, 16 November 2007 (UTC) SoxBot I see you have accepted my bot. Thank you! One thing though, will it have a flag? Soxred93 has a boring sig 03:00, 17 November 2007 (UTC) Yes. A Bureaucrat should process the request for a flag within 2 days. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 04:12, 17 November 2007 (UTC) I'm still good to edit using Python, though? Soxred93 has a boring sig 04:18, 17 November 2007 (UTC) Yep, as long as it's the substing task. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 12:48, 17 November 2007 (UTC) panic! could you please confirm the date of birth for Brent Wilson? I'm asking because your bot talked to me about both my pictures and so I'm assuming you are associated the with Panic! at the Disco project. So if you know could you please tell me? JazzlineB (talk) 04:59, 17 November 2007 (UTC) I have no idea, and am not associated with and wikiprojects. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 12:48, 17 November 2007 (UTC) Problem with another editor Hi. I got your name from the Abuse Reports/Volunteer page so, I hope it's ok if I leave you a message here and that my inquiry fits into the abuse category. Basically, the problem is with an editor named Dooyar. Long story short, me & another editor got into a bit of a tiff with him/her over the Karyn Kupcinet article. Needless to say, they were blocked twice for being rude. The last ban was for 48 hours on November 10. After that, I'm fairly certain they created sockpuppets (one with an actual name, two using anon which they have owned up to using in the past) to create some sort of illusion that someone is one their side and to make unsourced addition to articles which are usually reverted by anyone that can read (sorry, couldn't help myself!). I've already reported them for being a sockpuppet, but that process is incredibly slow. In the meantime, they have continued to be uncivil and have also attempted to delete the the Karyn Kupcinet archived talk page twice and have removed maintenance tags from a page (the latter two done under the anonymous IPs in which their usernames have been connected to in the past). I know the sockpuppet issue cannot be dealt with until proper research is done, but is there a way to stop them from repeatedly attempting to delete talk pages, reverting edits that anyone dares to dispute or remove, and removing tags when the issues haven't been addressed? As I stated before, they know the rules they're violating and they choose to ignore them. Thanks! Pinkadelica (talk) 07:46, 17 November 2007 (UTC) You want WP:SSP for this, but remember that they're allowed to remove stuff from their talk page, and if they do, it's assumed that they read it, and can be blocked if they continue.--uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 12:50, 17 November 2007 (UTC) I'm logged out! Hi! Just letting you know that as of right now, BAGBot.pl is running logged-out from 24.0.64.193 (talk). Thanks, BAGBot. Good bot :D --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 18:28, 17 November 2007 (UTC) Quick question on talk pages Hi, I noticed that Anonimu (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) regulary blanks his user talk page and I was under the impression that this was not acceptable. Since I only do some RC patrolling on WP and sometimes revert user talk pages that have been blanked I just don't want to do any mistake. You're the last admin that attempted to refrain him from doing so in July, why did you stop ? Thanks Mthibault (talk) 19:41, 17 November 2007 (UTC) I think consensus has moved to allow users to do that, assuming that, as they're blanking it, they've read the message. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 11:34, 19 November 2007 (UTC) OK but then how are we supposed to keep track of the right vandalism level template to use ?

Is there any chance you can slow down your User:STBotI?  :) The reason I asked is because I uploaded Image:Crossover (ST-DS9).jpg and then a minute later, you added the use rationale both to the image's page and my talk page. It would be nice to have at least 2 minutes or maybe even 5 before your bot takes affect. By the way, I do appreciate what your bot does. It reminds people to add the rationale so they don't forget. Thanks for reading this. Rockfang (talk) 16:14, 28 November 2007 (UTC) I meant to increase the delay before I started it up again. It's fixed :) --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 21:33, 28 November 2007 (UTC) Much appreciated. Rockfang (talk) 22:05, 28 November 2007 (UTC) CSDWarnBot Is it possible to have this bot not add a csd warning template when there is one already in place? See this talk page where the bot added a warning when the user had been warned a while before. This would save the bot time, and not make the user feel like we are ganging up on them with all the templates. Thanks. KnightLago 02:50, 2 December 2007 (UTC) No - they were different names. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 03:02, 2 December 2007 (UTC) User:ST47/OCT If it's not a bother, could you please do a new database run for User:ST47/OCT? CBM and I cleared through all (or almost all) of the ones – including subpages – that should be deleted; however, recently there were a number mass renames and deletions of categories that had corresponding talk pages (I'm specifically thinking of the 120 or so Gaelic games-related categories). Thanks, Black Falcon (Talk) 08:26, 2 December 2007 (UTC) Done. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 13:10, 2 December 2007 (UTC) Thank you. Black Falcon (Talk) 18:29, 2 December 2007 (UTC) Deleted images On November 25, you went through and deleted a lot of resized Fair Use images (contribs), but I've noticed that a lot of them actually weren't deleted. For example, Lego Loco.jpg, Horus.jpg, and Hard-Fi - In Operation.jpg. There seem to be hundreds more that day. Is this a bot problem? tiZom(2¢) 15:31, 2 December 2007 (UTC) That's strange, but probably due to the changes made to the deletion interface - it looks like the js changed the tag, thought it deleted the revisions, but didn't actually do it. I'll go through and mass-revert the removals, then try it again, failing that, I'll just do it manually. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 17:19, 2 December 2007 (UTC) Image tagging bot Your bot tagged Image:Baltimore City College logo.png as not having a fair-use rationale, but I uploaded it with a full rationale using {{logo fur}}. Just thought I'd let you know as it appears not to recognize that form of rationale. Dylan 18:29, 2 December 2007 (UTC) I'll look into that. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 18:57, 2 December 2007 (UTC) I've corrected the bot to check for logo fur in all templates on the page, rather then just the first one. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 19:00, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
