Images
Hi,
Can you please undelete the files File:Mo 20c.gif and File:Eurocoin.mc.series1.100.gif? They will be needed for fair use in the article Monegasque euro coins. The descriptions and the fair use rationales for those images will be similar to the current description of File:Mo 5c.gif, mutatis mutandis. (I can fill in the descriptions, once the files are undeleted.) Similar files currently on Commons cannot really do, because they are non-free images and they will likely be deleted from Commons sooner or later. That is why we need the files on Wikipedia. Thank you. -- Asclepias (talk) 23:18, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
AntiAbuseBot
Hello Chris. I was just wondering what happened to AntiAbuseBot? It seemed like a great bot against abuse. cheers Tommy! 21:56, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
- Perhaps AntiAbuseBot is only deployed when there is excessive disruption. If Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows comes out anytime soon, not only do I think the bot will be deployed, but the code will probably be shared with other admin-bots. mechamind90 00:35, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
- The AbuseFilter has dramatically curbed the amount of page move vandalism (in the bad old days we would have 150 moves a night, that doesn't happen any more). It is simply no longer necessary to run the bot. Occasionally when there is a 4chan "raid" on an article or page, I will start up AntiAbuseBot to deal with it, but even then those raids can be solved quite easily by using semi protection. As well as this, the bot was fairly high maintenance, and I simply do not have the time to keep it up to date with all the new regexs that would be required. --Chris 09:02, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
When Hagger returns. Add to the bot's filter?
I noticed there was one user who moved pages to "Hgr" instead of the typical vandal titles, so perhaps that could be added? mechamind90 00:30, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
- If and when he returns I will look into it. As I have said above, I'm fairly inactive at the moment and the standard measures (Abuse Filter, user-scripts etc), seem to be doing a good job a dealing with it. --Chris 09:04, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi. As you recently commented in the straw poll regarding the ongoing usage and trial of Pending changes, this is to notify you that there is an interim straw poll with regard to keeping the tool switched on or switching it off while improvements are worked on and due for release on November 9, 2010. This new poll is only in regard to this issue and sets no precedent for any future usage. Your input on this issue is greatly appreciated. Off2riorob (talk) 23:30, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
File:HEBISD logo.png
It looks like the Orphaned image deletion bot deleted "File:HEBISD logo.png" with the message "(Unused non-free media (bot))" on 18 September 2010, but it seems like the image was in use on Hurst-Euless-Bedford Independent School District. Perhaps the code on that page didn't reference the image properly...Are you able to un-delete that file? If there's more to the situation than that, please let me know! :) -216.62.101.13 (talk) 15:20, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
