Hi Rich, not sure if you're aware but ClueBot NG appears to be on strike. Maybe it needs a pay rise? HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 19:54, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

@HJ Mitchell: Ironic, considering I've been on strike recently from work... I'll look in to it - RichT|C|E-Mail 13:01, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
Have you considered offering it a below-inflation pay rise and briefing the Signpost that it's part of a vandal conspiracy? ;) HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 09:12, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
@HJ Mitchell: HAHAHAHAHAHA very good! 'This user is a member of WikiProject UK Railways.' - Checks out :D- RichT|C|E-Mail 11:11, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

Messums.org draft page

Hi, thanks for your help and insights navigating the pages. I am writing as the founder of Messums.org - a different enterprise from Messums fine art that is currently listed on wiki. I am not paid for my work on Wiki and wish to see only facts presented that are relevant and useful to users.

The key points I hope we have stated in regards to venues. the knowledge gained and shared about the remarkable buildings, and the knowledge gained and shared around the Frink Studio and of course art and the environment. We have commercial exhibitions but none of these are listed here, nor do I wish them to be.


Thank you for helping me to build this

yours Johnny (messum) MessHF (talk) 17:29, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

@ImperialAficionado: Not sure what this is for, but thanks :) - RichT|C|E-Mail 21:30, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
Well, I'm not sure if you recall, but there was an instance where a user used offensive language on the talk page of the article 'Maratha raid on Delhi (1737),' targeting a specific group. You contributed to resolving the issue, and I appreciate your assistance. Imperial[AFCND] 03:57, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

Cluebot NG false positive

I am asking you regarding this as you are one of the operators of Cluebot NG. For some reason I cannot access the toolforge needed to report Cluebot NG false positives, but I believe that the edit corresponding with mySQL ID 4288209 [15] is a Cluebot NG false positive. #prodraxis connect 23:44, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

RichBot: Checking drafts for Copyvios failure

RichBot's task "Checking drafts for Copyvios" failed to run per the configuration specified at Wikipedia:Bot activity monitor/Configurations. Detected only 0 edits in the last 1 day, whereas at least 1 was expected. If/when the issue is fixed, please change the section title (e.g. append " - Fixed") or remove this section completely. When that is done, this notice will be reposted if the bot task is still broken or is re-broken. If your bot is behaving as expected, then you may want to modify the task configuration instead. Or to unsubscribe from bot failure notifications, remove the |notify= parameter from the {{/task}} template. Thanks! – SDZeroBot (talk) 12:20, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
