Complaints about Scepbot's work in Guettarda's userspace

You are a really rude jerk, aren't you? I asked you why your bot was editing in user space, and instead of replying you post to AN/I? You propose to delete working pages which include future articles because you can't be bothered to fix your bot?? Wow. Guettarda 17:58, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

No, you have not bothered to explain anything. There is no explanation as to why your bot is editing user space. And you still won't bother to explain. Why is that? Guettarda 18:05, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

So now, not only are you complaining to AN/I in lieu of talking to people, you delete my reply to your comments? You made no attempt to answer my question. It's a simple question. You said you answered it, but did no such thing. I'd still like an answer. I wasn't the only person who raised that question. Why do you refuse to answer questions about your bot's misbehaviour? Bots that misbehave are a problem. You should fix your bots misbehaviour. Guettarda 18:24, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

If linking to WP:DICK is a PA, then maybe that page needs to be MfD'd. Regardless, you still have made absolutely no attempt to answer my question. When I pointed out that your bot was misbehaving, and you made no further reply, I figured you'd fix the bot. Saying nothing for a day or two, and then complaining to ANI - wow. That's shockingly rude. Anyway, the onus is on you as the bot operator to fix its malfunctions, not make the rest of the world adapt to its flaws. Guettarda 18:39, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

As for "not getting it" at ANI - did you mention anywhere that I asked about your bots malfunctioning and you ignored me? Guettarda 18:41, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Would you prefer it this way:

per Wikipedia:Bot_policy#Problems_with_a_specific_bot would you please fix your bot? Guettarda 18:49, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Your signature

Hello, Will, I noticed in your signature (the one leading your talk page), it state: is it can be my turn now plz? or something like that. It sounds kind of funny, but I'd like to your attention unless you did it purposely. Have a nice day, --Endo(Exo) 23:48, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Image:Sylmurbel.jpg

Hello Sceptre, an automated process has found an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, such as fair use. The image (Image:Sylmurbel.jpg) was found at the following location: User talk:Sceptre/Archive17. This image or media will be removed per statement number 9 of our non-free content policy. The image or media will be replaced with Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg , so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. The image that was replaced will not be automatically deleted, but it could be deleted at a later date. Articles using the same image should not be affected by my edits. I ask you to please not re-add the image to your userpage and could consider finding a replacement image licensed under either the Creative Commons or GFDL license or released to the public domain. Thanks for your attention and cooperation. User:Gnome (Bot)-talk 21:40, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Re:Image replacement

Thanks. The image was originally on Commons and under a free license, which is why I used it ... I'll find something to replace it with. — Editor at Large^(speak) 13:18, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

What?? I never uploaded an image under the wrong license. Someone else had uploaded it to Commons with the wrong license and I just used it in my template, thinking it was free like the license said. — Editor at Large^(speak) 19:06, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Episode page deletion-- why?

I'm not a Wiki veteran, so I may not be entirely sure how things work here, but I've been working on a few small areas of the site including episode synopses for the TV show Recess. At the end of last month I had a little fewer than half the regular episodes covered and was working on more, which I mentioned on the talk page. Now, all my episode pages (such as First Name Ashley) seem to have been deleted and they all link to the main page, which might save space but is far less informative. As far as I can tell, it was an edit of yours which removed them, but since there was no "up for deletion" warning I'm not quite sure why. Is there any chance you could revert the page, or at least explain why all my episode synopses were deleted? Kiro Tourmaline 18:11, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

RE: Minicons on your userpage

They were actually deliberately on top of each other, so I reverted. No harm done :) —Sean Whitton / 17:25, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Redirect of Appelfield

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Appelfield, by Sgeureka (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Appelfield is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Appelfield, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 19:15, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Support for a friend of mine

Please give K. Lastochka a word or two of encouragement as she is going thru a hard time with a WikiBully right about now. Thank you. —  $PЯINGrαgђ  17:14, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Image:Europe flags.png

Good luck on your exams! When you get back, I would like to ask you to have a look at an image you uploaded to Commons some time ago, Image:Europe flags.png. There are several errors in the article, the most prominent one being the Russian flag. It is shown as three horizontal stripes, white-red-blue, but the flag of Russia is white-blue-red, so with the blue and red stripes inverted. Aecis^Brievenbus 22:40, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Those omissions (Moldova, Slovakia, Slovenia, Croatia, Spain, Bosnia, Portugal, Serbia) are the (minor) errors I was talking about, and some of the proportions are a bit awkward (e.g. Sweden and Switzerland). But I just noticed Andorra and Luxembourg... WOW! Aecis^Brievenbus 23:14, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you!

All I can say is thank you for the message! I know Phaedriel made the page (and I will be sure to thank her), but I wanted to thank you very much for the... Star and day message. I didn't even know user days even existed on Wikipedia. Quite illuminating! And very much an honor. Thank you for taking the time to leave me the message. Best wishes and happy editing, Firsfron of Ronchester 02:54, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Gallifrey, Ireland

Hi, I quite agree with your stance on poorly written material ("drivel"), but I thought it was worth mentioning. Cheers,--Rambutan (talk) 20:17, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

I'd be willing to support a move to make it policy (not right now, as I'm off on holiday tomorrow, but one day).--Rambutan (talk) 20:22, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Human Nature

The fact file is not definitive. It says "probably", not "definitely". The actual pencil drawing seen on screen does not look sufficiently like Colin Baker to me. It appears obvious to me that the actual pencil drawing is of Tom Baker. Garth 187 02:13, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Redirect on What Time Is It? (Summertime!)

Hi Sceptre. I am contacting you to ask the rationale for your reasoning behind adding the redirect of What Time Is It? (Summertime!). I believe that the original article (prior to setting the redirect) should stay intact for the following reasons:

• It has already been announced as an official single per a Disney press release (on 5/23). The release date has also been announced.
• Many retailers are already accepting pre-orders for the title (including Amazon).

For these reasons, I believe that it is not a "crystal ball" subject. I ask that you please consider restoring the original content on the aforementioned article. Thank you in advance for your consideration. Nowayout203 00:46, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

The press release indicates that this "marks the first time in over a decade that the label has featured an in-store retail single." Would this be considered "notable"? Also, unlike Stick to the Status Quo, this release will be on CD, not iTunes.

I have an idea: revert to the original content and open a deletion discussion with your rationale. If it ends up getting consensus to be deleted, you can add the redirect back. What do you think about this? Nowayout203 01:27, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Pop.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Pop.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 02:30, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Peep Show episode merges

I direct you to the policy you cited. The last thing it says is that if more sources are avaliable then instead of merging them, expand them. For each episode more sources are avaliable, I just havn't got around to improving them. I could quite easily get "Quantocking" for example, to GA. So I think that the redirecting of every episode was unecessary. Gran² 09:23, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

That's fair enough, I probably wasn't going to get around to doing them anyway! And thanks for the kind words. Although, judging from the top of the page, you seem to have more awards than I have ever seen! But I suppose high quality articles are awards enough. And it very very refreshing to see someone respond nicely like some other people do. Thanks again. Gran² 13:53, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

To be honest, I'm not that big of a fan of sea-food: a weekly cod and chips and a weekly King prawn foo young is enough for me. And I think my barnstars on top are quite funky :) Will ^{(We're flying the flag all over the world)} 01:04, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

This might amuse you :) Will ^{(We're flying the flag all over the world)} 02:36, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Well you can keep them there. I just love my ribbons. You gotta love ribbons.... :P -- Cat ^chi? 12:15, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Good work, you might also consider a link to the Selby rail crash page. Providing there's no problems with things I haven't checked like image copyright you'll get my support at wp:fac. Let me know if you submit it. JMiall 12:32, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

do not message me again

Will, I debated how best to respond to your apology. After thinking about it, I think I need to make it absolutely clear. You write "I'm sorry if I've hurt you with any message or email I've written to you." Yes, you have hurt me your messages and e-mails, multiple times. I've asked you to not to write me, and you still persisted. I asked you again, and still you keep on writing me. PLEASE. DO. NOT. WRITE. ME. AGAIN. Thank you. --Kyoko 17:45, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

A 167 (M)

I notice you gave this article a "stub-class" on the Motorway project scale. Although the section about the A 167 (M) is pretty short, the motorway is less than a mile long, so I doubt you'll find it could be expanded further, apart from if some crank comes along and describes each and every sinew of the road!
