Bookkeeping Associations Deleted, would like it restoredThis article was only a few hours old before it was deleted. It is required to ensure that articles on bookkeeping can make reference to bookkeeping associations and their purpose. It will also avoid a situation where people keep adding bookkeeping associations to the main bookkeeping articles and make it unreadable and long. --NilssonDenver (talk) 10:59, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
How can I get the "Hall Hunt" page posted again?Hey. My name is Hall Hunt. There was a page about me that was deleted earlier this month. I just noticed that it was deleted. I don't know anything about publishing anything about Wikipedia except for looking articles up, so I am amazed that I even found this page to ask you the question. How can I get the page back up? I think it said said something about plagerizm. I didn't create the page to begin with, but rather I think it was an organization I am a part of. Maybe they plagerized there other webpage or something. I am not sure. The bottom line is I would be willing to do anything I need to so the page can be posted again. Please let me know what, if anything I can do. I guess you usually post responses here, so I will check back. Otherwise just email me at HallHunt@comcast.net . Thank you very much! ;o) 67.129.185.89 (talk) 23:00, 21 May 2008 (UTC) Hall Hunt

Friendly adviceHi, just a couple of friendly words, because I'm worried that you may be rubbing some editors the wrong way, and potentially scaring them off from Wikipedia. I think it would be very helpful if both you and your bot provided a little more information about what Wikipedia, and your bot, expect to find at a non-free image page - and to let editors know what it is they've missed out from their rationale. It is clear from your comments on your talk page that a number of editors feel their images already satisfy the requirements, and that the template messages left by the bot have not made it clear if, or why, this is not the case. Your first replies rarely help them to understand why they are in error; in some cases ("Stop being stupid and fix your image") they are downright rude - especially coming from an administrator. I'm not sure of the mechanics of your bot, but I suspect you would reduce the number of irate posts to your talk page if your bot's message gave the user clearer instructions, which could perhaps be made more specific according to which of the bot's rules was broken. I'd suggest something along the lines of:
Also, please do read template messages you post on user pages, check they're appropriate (you recently tagged my burgeoning talk page with a message saying "Welcome to Wikipedia!" when a quick glance would have shown you that I'm not exactly new to the site, which didn't exactly make a great first impression) and check that they provide the editor with a clear "next step" through the complex copyright mire. I usually find that editors are more willing to spend their time doing things, such as providing a fair use rationale, if I take a couple of seconds to speak to them helpfully rather than just bombarding them with unhelpful templates. I hope that that will help to engage editors a little more in the copyright process and encourage them to improve rationales, rather than thinking "sod it, it's not worth it", and leaving useful images to get deleted unnecessarily. Besides, I'm sure you get pretty frustrated wasting your time messaging people telling them why your bot was right and they were wrong - which is clearly the case in the majority of instances! I hope that a more helpful bot message would reduce the number of people requiring such a response. Anyway, I hope that's of some use. Smith609 Talk 08:31, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
Aubrey Gibson image and your botWell, I guess I'm one of the users the subject of the discussion above. An average user, average editor and - I thought until now - diligent reader of wikipolicies as required. The difficulty with your response just above is that I can't see what your bot saw. Some time back I uploaded an image - Image:AubreyGibsonRosebowlJacket2.JPG - for use in an article I created. It has just been tagged by your bot. Fair enough. Now, if I've read the policies correctly, the justification I've given for the use of the image is adequate. However, I took the point that maybe I've put the justification in the wrong location on the image page. I confess it's a while since I've uploaded an image, so I tried to edit the image info page - and this reminded me that the process is semi-automated. I couldn't work out how to shift the justification for use from its current location to a location next to the link to the particular article (and only article) in which the image is used. I'm taking the tag off, not to be difficult, but because (a) as far as I can see I've complied with WP policy, but more to the point (b) at the moment I'm only visiting the site every couple of weeks and the bot / WP / whatever is only giving me 7 days warning. I'm sure you'll set me on the right track. I have the fish, thanks, but my problem is not understanding your bot's message but in successfully responding to it. Cheers hamiltonstone (talk) 11:58, 22 May 2008 (UTC) Fix your bot - restored sectionPer [1]. Since you didn't answer, I'm going to ask one more time; please direct me to the 'machine readable' policy on en. Furthermore, how does this affect Image:BanqiaoDamAfterFailure.jpg (hint, it already had a {{Non-free fair use in|Banqiao Dam}} tag and was therefore machine readable). Let's be really clear here: this image is classic fair-use. It had a rationale. Your bot tagged it because it didn't have a particular template. There is no requirement that this particular template be used on fair-use images. Instead of admitting that you are a lazy bot writer, you first blame the image, then me, then some 'machine readable' policy that makes no difference since the image page already had a machine readable tag. This was a difficult image to find, and it should not be deleted every couple of years because some bot writer all of the sudden decides there's a particular template that must be used. If you want this image to use a specific template for fair-use, go ahead and add it. Otherwise revert your edit and fix your bot. --Duk 12:24, 22 May 2008 (UTC) PS. Please show me where your bot was approved to mark for deletion fair-use images With a rationale. --Duk 13:21, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
Edits to flag templatesHi, when you remove images from flag templates such as Template:Country data Réunion, please replace the image with a placeholder instead of nothing. Image:Sin bandera.svg is usually used for this sort of thing. As it is, your change effectively breaks every page that transcludes that template with the STBotI blockedAfter reading Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline again, I see that Image:BanqiaoDamAfterFailure.jpg contained both the copyright tag a specific fair use rationale as required. Your bot tagged it for deletion anyway. When this was brought to your attention, you failed to acknowledge the bot's error and attacked myself and the rationale instead. This is unacceptable. I looked at STBotI's last seventeen edits. It failed to recognize three existing fair-use rationales [2] [3] [4]. Another edit added This image or media is claimed to be used under Wikipedia's policy for non-free content... when the image made no such claim [5]. That's an unacceptable error rate so STBotI has been blocked. To fix this, I'd suggest a) searching the image page for key words that would indicate a rationale, or b) propose at Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline that {{Template:Non-free use rationale}} be required to aid bot work. Didn't think about how to fix the last error, but I'm sure you'll figure it out. It is not acceptable for your bot to make these errors, but it's even worse when you refuse to acknowledge the errors and attack the messenger or the rationale instead. And it's sure as hell not acceptable for your bot to evaluate the validity of a fair use clam. I'm not unsympathetic to your work, having processed thousands of copyright violations (before you made your first edit) and done automated work myself. I know what you have to do to fix this and that it isn't very hard. Sofixit. --Duk 18:00, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
Just want to point out that the argument 'some of these rationales aren't sufficient' doesn't fly. A bot may not judge the quality of a fair use rationale. If it is a poor rationale and the bot misses it, I will re-block the bot. This isn't about how good the rationale is, it's about the bot working or not--Duk 22:55, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Its accuracy is horrible. It tagged the following images for deletion for not having a fair use rationale, when in fact they did have a rationale [8] [9] [10].

I am the general manager of WQJJ-LP and certain inaccuracies have been brought to my attention by one of our listeners. Several of the discrepancies I have been able to correct but, your "Huggle" bot refuses to allow me to include the (true) information that states: WQJJ-LP is the only FM radio station licensed to Jasper that actually maintains a local studio and operates as a "Live and Local" radio station." What's with this? (Sorry, I'm NOT a wikipedian but, as the station manager, I think that I should know the facts about my business.)

More WQJJ-LP Inaccuracies caused by your "Huggle" botI am almost at wit's end in dealing with your bot. Can you PLEASE help me make this article reflect the correct information? It's referring people to an old (outdated) website and the information is reflecting what the radio staion WAS several month back. I can assure you that it is no longer accurate as I'm sitting inside the station now and it is anything but "silent" as the listing claims. (Such inaccurate claims can also cause us problems with the FCC should someone see it and choose to become a troublemaker.) I've made all of the appropriate edits but, your bot continues to label my efforts as "vandalism" and to issue all of the accompanying warnings and threats. I can assure you that I am the station owner and, if you wish to verify these claims, you may contact me at (205) 384-6498 which is listed with AT&T as "WQJJ" which *is* the radio station about which this article so inaccurately describes.

re protection of User talk:DocmartincohenI have been contacted off-Wiki (obviously) by the above editor. He comments that after he was blocked his unblock request was denied by User:Phil Sandifer, and that he and Phil Sandifer were already in content dispute. He contacted me as I was involved in a discussion with Phil Sandifer at WP:ANI where we discussed Docmartincohen, where the result was that he was blocked - for socking in that instance, although the original discussion was regarding COI. Docmartincohen has asked me if the protection could be lifted so that he may request review of the original block, and have it reviewed by somebody he was not previously involved with. Under the circumstances I have said I would ask you to review the matter (and that I would inform Phil Sandifer of my action). Since I am certainly aware that Phil Sandifer was requesting advice regarding editing by Docmartincohen and I am certain he would prefer that all processes appear to be as neutrally reviewed as they most assuredly were, I would ask you to consider lifting the protection of the page to allow Docmartincohen another block review request. If you wish, I could do the necessary unprotect. I shall watch this page for your reply. LessHeard vanU (talk) 20:07, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media). If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

I am passionate about street art and noticed there are a lot of established street artists not mentioned in Wikipedia like Nick Walker, Blek le Rat, Jef Aerosol etc. So I started my first article with Dotmasters. It's my first article and it took me ages to write it and format it and was quite pleased with the end result for a first article. I don't know anything about publishing anything on Wikipedia except for looking articles up, so I am amazed that I even found this page to ask you the question. How can I get the page back up? I think it said said something about blatant advertising. So how do you make an article informative and not advertising? I would like to progress and then write articles about other artists as well.

Richard Marx greatest Hits album coverHey, I loaded the page but somehow I overlooked the licensing line. I tried to go back and put that in but I can't seem to figure out how so I'll just tell you. Here is the page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Marx_gh_cover.jpg The licensing to the cover belongs to either the photographer, the artist, or the record label, in this case, CEMA Special Markets, which is a division of Capitol Records in Canada. This Greatest Hits album (which was an audio recording) was released through Avon back in 1993. The serial number (at least that I think it is) to the CD is S21-17435. Again, I tried to input this information but am not sure how. I'm still fairly new to the wiki. Let me know if there's anything else I can provide you with.Itsmyright (talk) 17:04, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Admin botsHello, I have recently had an encounter with an unapproved admin bot, and despite an extremely clear dictate by policy that these bots should be blocked, have been discouraged from doing so. Depending how this situation resolves, I will likely file an arbitration request to hopefully resolve this issue once and for all. You commented on Wikipedia talk:Requests for comment/Adminbots, stating that you ran an admin bot. To help get an idea of how widespread admin bots are, as well as get a uniform decision, I would like to ask: Do you still operate this bot, and does it operate when you are not present? Please reply on my talk page, thanks, Prodego talk 00:40, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Replacing user sigsI have to say I'm a bit puzzled what is the benefit in thousands of edits like this just to replace a user signature. It could've stayed a red link. —AlexSm 16:40, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
QuestionI have a question. I hope that you will see this since I do not know what /dev/null means and I think that as an admin you did not really mean to insinuate that if I have a problem with your bot I should not come here to ask about it. But maybe I am wrong and you are really saying that. My problem is that yesterday I uploaded an image and chose the wrong copyright justification. Your bot already got rid of the image before I had a chance to fix it. I think...truth is, in the past when I have made a mistake someone would leave a message on my talk page telling me that I had 7 days to fix the problem. In fact, someone did this for another image that I uploaded yesterday that I chose the wrong cr thing for. but I cannot find the image that your bot got to, and no message was left for me so that I could fix it. Is this some new policy? Or is it just that your bot has gone wonky? can you direct me to the image so that I can fix the permissions on it? thanks. (I don't live here, so please give me a whole day to respond) Also, maybe you know how I can change the permissions here? I don't see how to get back the the original section list. The images are both made by me (into .jpgs) from works by an artist who gives her complete permission to use in any way on the wiki. I made the mistake of choosing the educational purposes one because I thought that's what wiki was. when the thing came back with the red banner I did not read until it was too late -- I thought the red was just a bold design choice. sorry.

Someone noticed
CSD Warn Bot too quick !!Hi. I was attempting to go through the CSD procedure for an article, and had placed the 'db-xxxx' tag on the article. I had just placed the warning notice on the authors talk page, when I was informed of an edit conflict as your bot had added a warning for me. I'm not using Twinkle or any automated process, so it's slower, but the delay between tagging the article itself and getting the edit conflict was < 30 seconds. This then leads me to a problem - do I just stop adding messages to a user's talk page because the bot will tag them ? If there's any possibility that the bot may not catch the article (or not in a reasonable time), then I should, but obviously I don't want to go throught he process if it's being made redundant by the bot. Any thoughts ? CultureDrone (talk) 08:16, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
The Starlims Page you commented aboutI wrote a comment as instructed on the Starlims page. Just wanted to make sure you see it and hopefully you can help me in some way. Here is what I wrote in response to your comment: Yes, I did write this page on behalf of Starlims. Starlims is a Nasdaq traded company and I believe that this by itself warrants a Wikipedia presence. This article is written in a very impartial manner. I intend to write more pages for Wikipedia that are unrelated to Starlims. Choosing the user name Starlims was just pure inexperience on my part. I thought it would be symbolic to use this user name so I can always remember the first post I wrote. Please remove the warnings on the page or advise otherwise. I only have good intentions and understand very well the concept and the importance of Wikipedia. Thanks... --Starlims (talk) 14:11, 6 November 2008 (UTC) EditnoticeI've moved your Editnotice from MediaWiki:Editnotice-3-ST47 to User talk:ST47/Editnotice.

Just a thought....I noticed that your bot's talk page notice includes a link to WP:WMD and I got to thinking that new users might think that means "weapons of mass destruction" (what "WMD" normally stands for off-wiki). Perhaps it would be wise to have it link to WP:WWMPD instead? It's not a big deal, but I think it may cause some unnecessary confusion to new users. (on the other hand, maybe they'll be more likely actually read the page thinking there's some way they can retaliate to whoever deleted their page. hmm... :P ) Thingg⊕⊗ 03:49, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

There's currently a discussion at WP:AN about some editors who emerged from mothballs (one who had been inactive for over a year!) just to vote, and there are concerns about canvassing and sockpuppetry. It would be really helpful if we could see a report that showed of all the voters, which ones hadn't participated anywhere else on the project in months, and where those voters were voting. Can you think of any easy way to present that data? Thanks, --Elonka 04:17, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Feature request for CSDWarnBotCSDWarnBot just edited my talk page with a deletion tag warning, and that is fine - it was very useful :-). It would be better if the edit summary included a link to the section created (a "→") so users can quickly navigate to the section created. On another issue, I don't really understand your comment on this talk page "ATTENTION! IF YOU ARE REPORTING AN ISSUE WITH ONE OF MY BOTS... Visit /dev/null...Don't come back."

Arbcom voting tableHi ST, thanks for taking the trouble to design a table for the election. I'm just wondering though, is there any reason why the table listing defaults to percentages rather than aggregate votes? If I'm not mistaken, Jimbo's usual practice is to promote those users who get the most aggregate votes, in which case (for example) Vassyana will miss out, since although he has a better percentage his aggregate is well below that of some other candidates.

Fred Talk 02:17, 19 December 2008 (UTC) Re your block of JudyrenoufHey ST47, User talk:Judyrenouf has appealed your block of her and I'm rather confused by what has happened there and why she has been blocked. I see she had several "vandal" warnings on her page which she says she didn't see them until after she was blocked, but I really don't understand why her edits were deemed "vandalism" in the first place, ie "intentional unconstructive edits" and I was hoping you could explain? She has a conflict of interest but I believe she is well intentioned. I don't think those edits were vandalism as defined by policy and I would like to unblock her under an agreement that she will abide by COI and discuss her edits with other users as necessary. I also don't understand why you disabled her ability to edit her own talk page? I would appreciate your advice on this matter. Cheers, Sarah 02:22, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
