Speedy deletion nomination of File:Jeff Wassmann.jpg
A tag has been placed on File:Jeff Wassmann.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

request
I would like my talk page, User talk:Crazymonkey1123, added to AntiAbuseBot's Autoprotect list because when the vandalism and personal attacks happen on my talk page, the usually happen in a very short period of time. Could you set the bot to protect my talk page for an hour at the first hint of personal attacks and vandalism? Thanks! Crazymonkey1123 (Jacob) T or M/Sign mine 16:35, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
- AntiAbuseBot is somewhat retired atm. If I do start running it again, and your talkpage is heavily vandalised i'll consider this request, but atm there's no point. --Chris 05:44, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Can User talk:Σ be added to the list? Thanks. --The Σ talkcontribs 21:28, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
- Hmm, what's sparked this sudden interest in AAB? Has it been linked to in a thread or something? See my response here. --Chris 02:12, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
- Ah... why retire it? It's probably the best known adminbot there is. --The Σ talkcontribs 01:12, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
- Two main reasons. Firstly, the abuse filter has dramatically reduced the need for AAB. There is simply not the level of vandalisim around that warrented AAB in the first place. Secondly, I've been very busy IRL, so I haven't had a lot of time to devote to it. Maybe, someday in the future, when the need is great, it will return (kinda like batman, heh). Until then, you might see it from time to time, but don't expect it to be there. --Chris 07:36, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
- Honestly, I really can't see enough vandalism on your talk page to warrant automated protection anyway. Look at User talk:Bsadowski1, User talk:NawlinWiki, or User talk:Gfoley4, as they have that level of vandalism. Reaper Eternal (talk) 12:41, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
- Hm, you may be right. I must just still be paranoid. --The Σ talkcontribs 22:52, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
- Fwiw AAB (at least in it's current form), wouldn't have picked that up at all. Also, it doesn't count if they're all coming from the same ip ;) --Chris 01:13, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

dupe WP:CHU request detection
hi chris, would it be possible to get user:Chris G Bot 3 to detect and note when a single "current" username has multiple outstanding change (or usurp) requests? Thanks --Jeremyb (talk) 21:28, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
Done. If there are any problems feel free to ping me. --Chris 05:43, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
Hi, I was wondering if you could undo this deletion. Turns out this logo was not "orphaned" so much as the page it was linked to was coded improperly thus cutting the connection to the non-free image. I've corrected the coding issue and the image should be appearing normally if you'd kindly undo the deletion. Gateman1997 (talk) 00:39, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
- Done --Chris 08:47, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
