User Name Change Request

Hello Chris G. Can you please review my user name change request? You (or the bot?) are saying that I am not logged in as Wander Woman's Dog. I am. I think there may be a problem with the html and the apostrophe. I've posted twice to the name change page but I am not being recognised. I hope this can be resolved. Thanks - Wander Woman's Dog (the aspiring Wander Woman). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wander Woman's Dog (talk • contribs) 21:31, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

  • Indeed, there seems to be a bug with the bot handling apostrophes in the username. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 17:12, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Barack Obama on Twitter

I've made an RFC on this article, but I've removed the tag and then re-inserted. This might have affected the bot process, as I haven't seen it listed in either category. I wonder if this matter can be remedied. --George Ho (talk) 22:16, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

Don't worry, it seems to have resolved its self. --Chris 07:17, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

RFC bot malfunction?

Hi! RFC bot deleted this RFC straight after i made it on the grounds it had expired. I think it must be malfunctioning. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3APhallus&diff=503378769&oldid=503378763 93.96.148.42 (talk) 03:07, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

That's because there was no signature. It seems to have been resolved now. --Chris 13:03, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

RM bot is down

I know you may not have anything to do with the RM bot, but apparently it is down. I heard of many saying that the bot's operator, HardBoiledEggs, is inactive since February! Is there any advice you can give to fix the bot? There is a WP:VPT discussion about this matter titled "RM Bot inactive", which describes this entire matter. Please reply.

Parsing Timestamp

Any observance edits why from Good Article Nominations?--GoShow (...............) 02:46, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, I can only answer questions I understand. "Any observance edits why from Good Article Nominations?" makes absolutely no sense to me. --Chris 03:55, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
(talk page stalker) As the one who fixed the problem, it was clear that GoShow constructed the {{GAnominee}} template for the Gene nomination by hand, and filled out the second, timestamp field, incorrectly. This had a number of unfortunate side-effects, since the "GA nominee" template is machine-parsed, and attempts to edit the Good Article Nominations page just get overwritten by that parsed template every ten minutes.
If the {{subst:GAN|subtopic=name of the subsection on this page where the article is to be listed}} template had been used instead—as the instructions on the Good article nomination page make quite clear it should be—this problem wouldn't have occurred, since the GAN template fills in the date, and everything else but the subtopic, automatically. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:06, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
Ah, that makes sense. Thank you for fixing that. --Chris 05:49, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

Dance

Dance has been added to WP:GAN#Other_theatre, film, dance and drama articles, formerly WP:GAN#Other_theatre, film and drama articles Jezhotwells (talk) 01:02, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

Actually, it has been pulled because doing so broke the page and prevented all those "other" articles from displaying at WP:GAN. This is a change that needs to be carefully planned, and not made until the bot is able to handle it and proper coordination is done. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:22, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

my botclasses update

Hi Chris !

You can find on fr:Utilisateur:ZiziBot/botclasses.php my own version of botclasses.php.

  • I have corrected the last query-continue API changes and a few old bugs, that you can perhaps import in your mother version.
  • I don't think that the Sean's lyricwiki class have to be included in the botclasses.
