Best regards, Roland zh 00:12, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Sorry about that. I've undeleted the pages, and updated the bot to hopefully avoid this happening in the future. --Chris 08:08, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi Chris. No problem and many thanks :-) Best regards, Roland zh 12:54, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned talkpage deletion bot

How long after a page is created does this bot wait to see if the corresponding article page is also created? At least one of the pages it deleted was re-created shortly afterwards along with the article page; I can't help but suspect that whoever created it intended for it not to be orphaned but it was deleted before they got the chance. Gurch (talk) 11:04, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

The bot waits seven days. --Chris 08:36, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Normiad's Bot request

Hello User:Mysdaao pointed me to you for help with creating a bot. NormiaD and the Gods 18:58, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Can you program and if so what language(s) are you most proficient in? --Chris 12:32, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

File:Walmoor Hill 1.jpg

Can this be deleted now? Adambro (talk) 14:13, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

 Done --Chris 12:26, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Pictures of Francisco Rodriguez and David Wright

The pictures are clearly noted as having been taken by me. I don't quite understand what copywright info is needed. Some help, please? BassPlyr23 (talk) 10:12, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

All images must have a valid copyright tag. There is no tag on either of those images. As you created those images your self I would recommend tagging them with {{PD-self}}, in fact it would be better if you moved the images to commons; but that's really your choice. --Chris 12:31, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Ztbl3.jpg

I have added the copy rights of the said image. kindly remove the tag of speedy deletion from Ztbl3.jpg image. sorry for the inconvince AhmadJawad (talk) 15:21, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

 Done, thanks for adding the tag --Chris 13:53, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Done Yet?

Having fun with the banhammer? I checked recent changes and it seems every other change is you blocking someone. Just one of those days? Whispering 09:15, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Just blocking a whole bunch of TOR ips that the tor block extension missed. (as you can see, I've already pissed one vandal off)--Chris 09:19, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Ah good ol' TOR thanks for the info. Whispering 09:23, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned talkpage deletion bot delay

Is it possible to program Orphaned talkpage deletion bot (talk · contribs) to wait a week after a page is deleted before deleting the talk page? Or to check occasionally if a page who's talk page it has deleted has been restored, and if so restore that talk page? Right now the bot will delete the talk page in many cases before anyone has noticed the main page should not have been deleted, and then the talk page never gets restored. For now, please restore Category talk:Articles needing chemical formulas and Category talk:Incorrectly tagged WikiProject Philosophy articles. Thank you. --Pascal⁶⁶⁶ 18:00, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

I just came across User:Orphaned talkpage deletion bot/Trial. Replacing "Category talk:" with ":Category:" shows that the vast majority of category talk pages listed there need to be restored. --Pascal⁶⁶⁶ 18:13, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

I've added an extra check for those kinds of pages and undeleted all the incorrectly deleted ones. --Chris 02:42, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks you. --Pascal⁶⁶⁶ 17:35, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Changing username

I and User:Apollo Augustus Koo are exactly the same person, how can I do to merge the two names? Thanks. -- Apollo Augustus Koo (talk) 03:25, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

It is not possible to merge accounts. However if you want your username to be '蘇州宇文宙武', but have the contribs from Apollo Augustus Koo we can rename 蘇州宇文宙武 to 蘇州宇文宙武 (usurped) and then rename Apollo Augustus Koo to 蘇州宇文宙武. --Chris 03:36, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Sir, just rename User:Apollo Augustus Koo to User:蘇州宇文宙武, please. I don't care about my contributions (AAK's contribs are much more than mine). Just do it. Thanks. --11:15, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, sir. I've changed my mind. I will continue to use User:Apollo Augustus Koo as a sock puppetry. Thank you all the same. --Apollo Augustus Koo (talk) 02:27, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
