Spam in my article?

Hi,

I think that this is only mistake. My article about Acer Value Line was reported as an advertising article. But i think there are no elements that some have same with ads. Please specify closelly what errors i've done and I will fix it. Thank you.

Mr. Android Mouse, define "spam" please

I've kind of been blacklisted when my site has been suggested here in Wiki. Yes, I have suggested the site (PopCultureMadness.com/Music/) and a few individual pages. Many webmasters have. Most of the links to my site were NOT placed by me. I find some of the people who do list our other odd pages rather interesting. I have never asked for or pursued third parties to add any of my pages.

We offer a unique insight in what the staying power of "Pop Music" is. We have been in the top 3 for google results for phrases like "pop music" "popular music" "pop culture" "popular culture" and many others for years. Not 2 years, not 3, but 6 years. CONSISTANTLY!

Last I looked, Wiki is the only site that beats us in most of those those results. Traffic from wiki was negligible(spl?)for us, we are linked to many schools and are references for many homework assignments. Wiki does not help my google rankings, or even traffic. It's the thing that knocked me from # 1 most of the time to usually # 2 on google results, and I have no problem with that.

PCM gets kicked off, but radio stations, online hype rags and blogs stay on?? I have a "hype" section where we actively promote new and old music. I don't submit that kind of content. I DON'T WANT THAT IN WIKI. Hype doesn't belong here. Interesting and unique content does belong. Our annual lists are not rehashes of old Billboard charts like every other music web history page offers.

Our suggestions for "Happy Songs", "Summer Songs", "Sad Songs" and a hundred other categories have similar pages within WIKI. For what it's worth, I'm usually number one in those categories... If WIKI gets the stick out of its butt about PCM, maybe I'll consider linking out to WIKI.

I have gotten maybe a hundred visitors a day from Wiki when I was listed on each year's "best of" music pages on WIKI. That is less than 1% of a bad day (15,000 daily is average). PCM offers unique and relevent content for thousands of people every day. It's Family-Friendly. No Pop Ups, No Pop Unders, no obnoxious ads. It's a labor of love and very little profit. It's WIKI's users who are poorer losing what PCM offers.

I've kind of given up, and won't be bugging you guys about this again, but you really shouldn't have such an arbitrary way of kicking what many consider quality pages and sites off of this thing we call WIKI.

I was still working on it so why did you delete it. I gave it a hangon.I'm rewriting it and it will be done soon.

I haven't deleted it. Please re-read the message that was left on your talk page. Thanks. --Android Mouse 20:57, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Deletion

This bot apparently deleted my article unjustifiably. Please re-instate it.

Based on tagging by someone from China. How s/he decides and English person is notable or not is beyond me

Soarhead77 12:14, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Nope, my bot doesn't delete articles. Check out the page log to find out who actually deleted it. --Android Mouse 19:46, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Image:davlin.jpg

I have permission from Bennett Joshua Davlin's agency to use his images for the wikipedia entry but I will be receiving a more recent image soon which I will use to replace this one. I am still new to adding images and could use assistance in adding images that are copyrighted but have permission. Can you assist? - whieberWhieber 02:08, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Sure. Although, please make sure you get permission for both commercial and non-educational usage, since that is a Wikipedia policy. If you already have permission for both commercial and non-educational use of the image, please go to WP:TAG and find the appropriate tag to place on Image.davlin.jpg. If you recieve an updated image and would like to replace the current one, simply upload it to the same file name and the old one will be overwritten. Also, welcome to Wikipedia! --Android Mouse 02:12, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Image:Max taylor with SLU Flag March 2007.jpg

Sorry about the licensing mistake when uploading. I asked the permission of the photographer, Robert Lafaver before posting copying it off of his Facebook page, and the option I chose seemed the closest match to our conversation. Out of curiosity, why are we able to upload pictures in a format that's not acceptable? Seems like tis problem could be cut off at the source... I have another photo I want to upload and don't want to go through this run around again unnecessarily. Twilder 00:00, 20 June 2007 (UTC)TWilder

Sri Malladihalli Raghavendra swamiji

Mr.Bradford, Pl. do not delete the image of Sri Malladihalli Raghavendra swamiji, as it can be obtained with prior permission from the authors, in the mean time pl.note it can be used for commercial or non-commercial purposes. Shivashankar kt 04:06, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Julian Dobrowolski

My friend and I have done extensive research into the subject of Julian Dobrowolski, a Polish criminal. When we wanted to write about him, however, the page is deleted within like 5 minutes... because its not notable!!! The guy is a convict on the run!!! He is notable! WHY WHY WHY?? answerplese, matti1003.

Perhaps contact the nominator or the admin that deleted it. The problem is possibly because you did not cite your sources or make a clear assertion of the subject's notability. --Android Mouse 03:06, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Al-Ghassani

Someone has objected to Anwar Al-Ghassani entry. I don´t think I understand what the objection is about. This entry is still at an early stage. A lot will be added to improve notability. However, I have no time to do that now. I will keep a copy of the entry and edit and add later, and then republish. I hope the entry will be kept as it is for the time being. Deleting would be an error. Have patience. Thanks. Labidon.

Bradford N. Smith

Could you please take off the tag on his (Bradford N. Smith's) trivia section, I think I fixed the problem. Thanks

You don't have to ask me to have the tag removed. Although I personally think it should stay, since there still is a large amount of trivia that should either be removed or integrated into the article. --Android Mouse 01:34, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Okay, Thank you anyways.

T-Vice

I would like to know what you exactly mean by notability of the subject. I don't understand why it is a candidate for speedy deletion because I stated information on the group's success and popularity. Please answer back because I would not want the article to be deleted~ Spyder00Boi

Please see the guidelines for notability. Or contact the nominator of the article, or the admin that deleted it, if that is the case. --Android Mouse 02:48, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

DinoSizedBot

Hey Android Mouse!

It looks like the bot is running perfectly, and I have transcluded the sandbox page. This is so cool. How does the bot add the GA and FA tags? Does it detect them automatically, or do you have to tell it to? I ask because eventually we'll get more FA and GA articles, and I don't know the procedure to get the bot to add new tags once an article has reached GA or FA status. Thanks again for this cool bot. Firsfron of Ronchester 19:20, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Forgot to mention: don't worry about if the bot's estimate is a few bytes off. We just need a rough gauge of measurement, and do not need exact to-the-byte results. A few bytes make no difference. Firsfron of Ronchester 19:22, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

The bot seems to have fallen asleep; it's skipped the last two daily updates. Has the time frame for running it changed? J. Spencer 15:22, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

I've got no idea what it decided to stop, I haven't changed anything and infact just came back from being away for a week. I just run it manually and will check and get it back running automatically again. --Android Mouse 03:13, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi! I know you're out, so no rush, but it looks like the bot could use another nudge. J. Spencer 14:45, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Speedy warning

Not that it's a major problem, but I thought I'd let you know, your bot left me a speedy deletion notice for a page I didn't create — I moved Roberto Mancini TES to Roberto Mancini (TES) in keeping with WP:NAME, so when the former was speedied, my move appeared as the first edit of the latter, which I assume is how your bot identifies a page's creator. — Swpb ^{talk contribs} 01:11, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

This should now be fixed in the bot. If the page has any logs for being deleted, moved, protected or anything else, the bot will skip it in order to avoid such mixups in the future. --Android Mouse 18:09, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Speedy warning Ghostbusters III

The bot may be having a problem. I didn't create Ghostbusters III nor was I the last editor. I deleted it [1] almost a year ago.--Dakota 13:44, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

It looks like you deleted it, then protected it, which probably meant you were showing as the first person in the article's history. Regardless, I have now set the bot to ignore any pages that have a page log. If it has been moved, deleted, protected, or anything like that it will now be skipped to avoid this type of mixup in the future. --Android Mouse 18:07, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

I did protect it in June of last year because it was recreated in Feb. 2007. [2] then again deleted 4 June 2007 by another. Thanks for fixing it :)--Dakota 00:28, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

There was a note about contesting the deletion of an article, I'm not sure where to talk to you at, on here or my page.

Speedy Deletion Notify.

Just curious, I'm very new here so, feel free to throw something off of my head. I created GiveJesusMoney.com and received a notification from a fellow user. I know that it flagged your bot, but I was just curious as to see if there was anything that I should change on it to keep it up or is it ok as is Genghis John2005 11:27, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

It looks as if your page was deleted because it was believed to not be notable enough for an article. If it is truely unnotable, then there probably isn't much you could do to keep the article up. Please see the guidelines for what is generally notable here: Wikipedia:Notability. --Android Mouse 15:51, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

One of the pages I created was deleted overnight. It was there at 10, and now it's gone at 6. Is there anyway I, the creator, can see that page? The page was for the little known mid 80s band Mysterious Splendor. Smythe3294 7:42, 2 July 2007

Dear co-editors,

Sorry!... You are quite correct! I am have just accidentally created Genfibrozila at [en.wikipedia.org], when it contains Gemfibrozil. This was only a mistake caused by me, when compiling information from here. So, you may/must delete Genfibrozila at all! Thanks!

Speedy Deletion of Gene_Zaino image

Hello,

This is the first time I am using images in an article and I am not sure how to cite the "copyright". It is a picture of the person on whom I wrote an article - I have permission from him to use the image, but he did not personally send me the file. Here's the article Gene Zaino

Deletion of Barracuda (Fergie Song)

Hello,

     I was just wondering why my article on a popular song ( Barracuda (Fergie Song) ) was deleted. I think it was pretty informing and had many links.

thanks

PN Chalmers 300.jpg

I got a bot response after posting an image with only a fair use tag. A fair use rationale tag has now been added. The fair use rationale that has been posted provides contact information and the image archive number. Anyone interested in reuse of the image can send them an email explaining what they want to do with the image and wait for the reply. That's what I did, and I have permission to post the image. I think that's a very good use of the fair use rationale tag, that provides the information it should. BTW: I know the subject well, and PN Chalmers 300.jpg really is a unique historical image. --Rogerfgay

Bot message

Hi there! I appreciate the heads-up on an article I edited being nominated for deletion. I keep getting these automated alerts from various bots, even though my edits are 99% of the time extremely superficial (stub-sorting mostly). Is there a way I can opt out of getting such messages? I can delete them from my talk page, but it's almost comical how pleased I am to see the "You have new messages" bar, only to find that it's a bot message for an article I don't care about. Any advice? Thanks - Her Pegship (tis herself) 16:26, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Deletion Message

I received a deletion message from a Bot saying that the article on Phillipe Aumont I created was going to be deleted because of lack of notability. This article is still in process of becoming and I am not finished editing it yet. Please removed the pending deletion from the article. Joesixpac 17:13, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

schneidertec: regarding request for speedily deleting Berry Springs Park

Hi,

I'm a newbie at Wikipedia authors. I'm trying for the second time to post an article about Berry Springs Park in Georgetown, TX. Even though I think I did everything right the request to delete came pretty quickly after every posting.

So what am I doing wrong? There were several hours between the first posting today ( I save my work a lot while working on it ) and the final version. Did this time delay provoke your request?

If so, please delete your request and enjoy my article with the many nice pics I made ( drove out there tonight just to make better ones than those I already had ).

Otherwise, your tips would be appreciated.

Thanks Frank Schneider PS I do plan to expand to include other Georgetown parks.

I made some deletions to indicate to you the sort of material which is not considered suitable for an encyclopedia--we are not a city guide. What you should now do is to use your judgement to remove all but the one or two pictures that best show the parks as a whole or its principal special feature. Ask for further advice on the article talk page. I consider it presently adequate to prevent speedy deletion, but others may disagree. DGG 06:13, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Sardonic laughter

Just looking for the meaning of that phrase I looked into Wikipedia not finding it. So I found other sources (like Oxford Dictionary, Webster's, Kluge, etc.) explaining the term; I felt the obligation to add it to Wikipedia. You of course may delete it. Not my problem - --charlandes 15:05, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

I can't and don't delete articles. My bot only notifies authors of speedy deletion nominations. --Android Mouse 02:45, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Bot 2 - template use

Hi, I noticed your bot's template User:Android Mouse Bot 2/nn-warn file has the following "A tag has been placed on [[:{{{1}}}]], by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia."

Yet just then^[3] when it reported my speedy to the user, it used "A tag has been placed on Central Goulburn Football League, by MY USERNAME, another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia."

Sounds picky but it's just that when I do nn-warn I like to use my sig, not my username which is what your bot is throwing in there.

Also, I understand that your bot was designed for "just added. just speedyd" articles, keep in mind that old articles can also be speedy deleted, and similarly the user the article was created by may not be around anymore. Maybe a quick check to the user's contribs or talk page activity would help. I just don't see how users who last made an edit in 2006 need to be told about a speedy - I don't think they would be back on Wiki in time before the delete. Thanks. --Bren ^talk 18:08, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Sounds like a good idea. Are signatures publically accessible though? --Android Mouse 03:03, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Nicholas Saunders

Why was the article on the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Newcastle, Australia, removed?Castlemate 09:50, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Because Nicholas Saunders (Vice-Chancellor) seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. ExtraDry 10:02, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Please stop spamming my user talk page. I don't care how many of my images have been moved to commons. -- Tim Starling 00:54, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

There is no way for my bot to determine the images are being moved to the commons because the nominator used the non-specific {{db-reason}} tag. Had they used the correct tag it wouldn't have issued the notifications --Android Mouse 02:42, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I don't have any idea what you are refering to. --Android Mouse 02:38, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

This is retarded

Because a subjected page has to be notable it won't be able to be posted? Yeah it's retarded and fricking aggrivating that I spent that much time creating the page just to have it deleted the next day, so much for open/free encyclopedia.

Sorry for your inconvience, but all articles must be of a notable subject. Please be aware that neither I or my bot deleted it though. --Android Mouse 02:34, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Court Case Bot Bug

Your bot has been tagging the "facts" sections of court case articles, such as Good News Club v. Milford Central School and, more recently, Almendarez-Torres v. United States with trivia tags. As you know, the "Fact" section is not a trivia section - it is the section of the article which covers the "finding of fact" section of the court case. Please stop these bot edits and remove the trivia tags from the court case articles. Thank you. --Tim4christ17 ^talk 15:39, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

My suggestion for a fix. I'm not a programmer, so I don't know the limitations of a bot. But I'd just suggest having it ignore sections of an article with " v. " in the article name which are titled "Fact" or something to that effect. --Tim4christ17 ^talk 02:51, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

For the time, the bot hasn't been running due to the controversies it rose. When I do run it again I'll probably do as you suggested and have it skipped articles with ' v. ' in the title. I'll try and search trhough all the court case articles the bot tagged and fix them when I get some time. --Android Mouse 02:57, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

ECOMB

Hi. I am trying to build a wikipedia page for my non profit environmental organization in Miami Beach: ECOMB. Not less than an hour after I started, you deleted my page because it was about an organization - there are many organizations, people, bands that have wikipedia pages: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_stones http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanda_congdon. Listing ECOMB on wikipedia is important because of its impact on Miami Beach and more specifically South Beach, the Trend Capital of the United States. In order for Social Behavior to change among our youth's outlook on the environment, their icons need to buy into the theory that doing good for the environment is a cool thing to do. I am trying to build up a case to pitch these celebrities and I need the online credibility of Wikipedia, Myspace, ect.. in order to "get to the next step". Please give me another hour or so in making my page and you will see that this page merits worth in your library. - Ben McFerren ECOMB Board Director

Yes, that would be possible. But what would be the point if they are both the creator and the nominator? --Android Mouse 02:30, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Exactly. The bot shouldn't notify the creator if they are the nominator. --(Review Me) R ^ParlateContribs_@(Let's Go Yankees!) 20:39, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

But why? If they nominated it themselves then why would they need the bot telling them? --Android Mouse 20:43, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Exactly. I'm pretty sure yesterday I saw a notice for a page created by that user. You're saying it already doesn't notify them if they are the creator? --(Review Me) R ^ParlateContribs_@(Let's Go Yankees!) 21:48, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

It has in the past, but it shouldn't any more. Do you remember the page where you saw this happen? --Android Mouse 21:50, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

It was someone who requested an old archive be deleted. However, now that I think, it may have been created by a bot. Let me ask an admin for the author. --(Review Me) R ^ParlateContribs_@(Let's Go Yankees!) 22:06, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Okay. User talk:Wikihermit/Archive One (now deleted) was created by Wikihermit, and the speedy request was made by Wikihermit. --(Review Me) R ^ParlateContribs_@(Let's Go Yankees!) 22:19, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I think I fixed the problem. The issue was if the bot for some reason couldn't determine the article nominator it would notify the creator anyways. Now if it can't determine the nominator for some reason it will skip that article. --Android Mouse 22:28, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Maya Island

It might be more correct to call the island just Maya or Maya Island. In my Times atlas it is called just Maya. I chose the Indonesian spelling because it otherwise would be confused with other places called Maya, for example the Russian river. By the way, the island is situated in Kalimantan Barat, West Borneo, south of Pontianak. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Antipoeten (talk • contribs)

Colosanti's Tropical Gardens

Hello. I've noticed that you nominated Colosanti's Tropical Gardens for speedy deletion becuase it sounds like an advertisement. I've re-written the article to sound less commercial-like, and more in the form of an essay or encyclopedia article. I hope this entry in Wikipedia is not deleted, as it pumps in a great deal of money into Essex County, Ontario's economy, being a large tourist attraction for the area. RingtailedFox 18:53, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I didn't nominate the article for speedy deletion, it was actually nominated by Imasleepviking (talk · contribs). Perhaps leave a note on their talk page telling this to them and they will probably support the removal of the speedy deletion tag. Please note by bot only notifies users when their articles are nominated for speedy deletion. It does no nominations. --Android Mouse 19:07, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Simon Templar

Your "Android Mouse Bot 3" erroneously tagged a section of Simon Templar as trivia when it was not. It was a section discussing different cultural references to the character, as opposed to trivia sections that contain a series of usually unrelated factoids. I reverted the change and left you a note in the event this was an unintended action by your bot. 23skidoo 20:16, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

It previously tagged cultural reference sections as trivia, but it was pointed out that this isn't always trivia so the bot no longer does this. --Android Mouse 22:07, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

speady deletion of Brandon Mull article

Why do you want to delete this article it is about a author that wrote a tremendous series of books called Fablehaven. Fablehaven Rocks 14:58, 14 June 2007

I don't. According to the message the bot left you it was nominated by 70.176.124.218 (talk · contribs). The bot only notified you of its nomination. Also, you dont have to type out your signature as you did, simply type ~~~~. This will also avoid typos, such as accidently capitilizing the R in your username. --Android Mouse 22:05, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

deletion of Kxen page

Hi, I would like to know why this page kxen has been deleted ? this page was a presentation of the company KXEN and the solution KXEN ANALYTIC FRAMEWORK in the space of datamining and predictive analytics. Other companies like SAS System or SPSS have their own page, especially the first one even displays a "feature" list which is not more than a "why buy sas" !!! so please, could you give me explanations and whenever possible what to change in the text so that this KXEN can be displayed.

thanks in advance,

Christophe GUYOT.

The article was deleted because Kxen is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. --Android Mouse 16:04, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Deletion of Inner sanctum records

WTF is up with deleting the Inner Sanctum Records page? It was a historical document about a place that hasn't existed for over a decade of relevance to thousands(literally) of people. You know, if you are going to let Colbert's fans change elephant statistics you can bloody well let us have one bleeding page of historical data on a place that will never exist again. And you can also, since you have this data, send me an email rather than me having to come look for the page after just last night telling 2 people who remember the place to come see it. FEH!

And your editing interface bites.

You're complaining to the wrong person. Please re-read the message that was left by my bot. --Android Mouse 20:10, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Non, Babydoll, according to:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Android_Mouse_Bot_2

I am talking to exactly the right bot. Figure it out Echo Park dweeb and at least give me the page for a day so I can post it on my own sit. $^YU&Uhol;e

And also, WTF are you putting a tarred link as your address and then asking that it not be used because you have to decompress it? WTF do you think I have to do with it? Gimme back the page.

I'm glad you figured that out. Now please read the second sentence in the first paragraph and the bolded sentence in the second paragraph in the message that my bot left you. --Android Mouse 21:29, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Yeah,OK, I sent a comment to the tag, but you are still listed as contact for the bot. I suggest YOU reread the notice and I further suggest you give us back the friggen page because it cannot be duplicated. You are now involved in stealing information and photographs. GIVE IT BACK NOW! or, hey, have you guys ever been sued?"

And WTF there is no content page on which to post the tag, you bureaucratic %^&*.

Thank you for contributing. Although I can't continue this conversation until you read the sentences I have pointed out to you. Good day. --Android Mouse 21:53, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Young D.C. Images

Hi. I work with the indie, nonprofit newspaper Young D.C. and created its Wiki entry. I have been given permission to display the images, which are also available on its official website. The organization is considered educational---and the bot IDed the images for speedy deletion. How can I keep these images? Thanks, kmasters2008

When you uploaded the image the tag was automatically placed because you didn't specify the copyright information with the proper tag. Please see WP:TAG and place the right copyright tag on the image pages. Then remove the speedy deletion tag on the image. Also, welcome to Wikipedia! --Android Mouse 02:52, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Agustus Gertrude Winfrey Clinton

I'm am extremely upset about your abhorrent behavior and your misguided deletion of my article about Agustus Gertrude Swarr Winfrey Clinton. Obviously I was not finished with it and I am still a novice at the technical goobldy gook. If you had any sense you would not have deleted this article because it informs the readers of a real women who clawed to become a prime minister after the death of her mother. Once you finish deleting other people's articles that they worked on and giving them the stupidest bureaucratic nonsense as an excuse please feel free to reply. With all due respect- Tyrantpat

I'm extremely upset at your knee-jerk reaction, displayed by the fact that you didn't even read the message that was left on your talk page. I'll be happy to help you out though, if you can manage to not permeate your messages with blatant and inferred insults. --Android Mouse 04:36, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

About the image on the Lee Valley Lions page. I wasn't sure of the licencing options when uploading the file. To clarify this I am a member of the organisation and have full permission from the club to post the logo for reasons to promote our club. This includes wikipedia.

Re: Speedy Deletion of Odd One Out (see my My Talk!)

Hell, this is a first! I'd like to know: what makes any other artist that's got a Wiki more favorable than myself? Some Jewish idiot saying I'm using Wiki as a sort of MySpace must have his...

Anyways, I don't even wanna go there, the mentality of some of your moderators (don't even know whose in charge over here).

The point is: I have the same right as my pal Richard D. James to have my biography/discography and every other piece of music history I've made, plastered/entered into (what is supposedly) the free encyclopedia.

If the artist/label (yes, I run my own label)/I'm not allowed to moderate myself, than who is? Will you disallow a fan to do the same?

broken bot: Missing image Image:Champsosaurus BW.jpg

Your bot put the following note on my user page, but I am not the creator of the image. The creator is user:ArthurWeasley. Debivort 04:54, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Champsosaurus BW.jpg, by ACupOfCoffee (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Champsosaurus BW.jpg is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Image:Champsosaurus BW.jpg, 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. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Image:Champsosaurus BW.jpg itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 04:37, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Possibly hard for me to tell now that the page has been deleted. But it would have been in adding a Category:Approved dinosaur images label to it - and it seems the better user to alert would be the image creator. Debivort 17:28, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Article: Stillste Stund

Hello, I have just noticed that my article on the German band Stillste Stund has been requested for speedy deletion. Please don't delete this article! I have taken my own time to add some very notable information. For instance, the band's name comes from Part Two - Die Stillste Stund (The Stillest Hour) of Friedrich Nietzsche's most famous book: Zarathustra. I have also contributed two articles on the two band members, Oliver Uckermann and Birgit Strunz. I have remembered to include licensing, summaries with credit to the photographer and/or artist and URL's for the images I have used. So please, wait before deleting my greatest contribution to this online Encyclopedia. And if it is deleted... I promise to have my own account deleted and NEVER return again.

Kindest Personal Regards -- Alptraum 12:08, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

User talk namespace speedy deletion notices?

Hi. I recently left a deletion notice on the talk page of a User:Roded86400, who subsequently and mistakenly tagged their talk page for speedy deletion. I was given a speedy deletion notice by your bot, Android Mouse Bot 2. I have no problem with the bot, but doesn't it seem useless for the bot to give deletion notices - particularly ones with instructions on how to contest the deletion - for user talk pages? It might be useful to have the bot check the namespace of the page to be deleted, and filter either delivery or content of the messages. Just a friendly suggestion, don't worry about it :). Thanks, Nihiltres^(t.c.s) 02:33, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the suggestion, it will no longer issue notifications for the User talk namespace. Sorry for the unneeded tagging--I thought I had already disabled notifications for that namespace, but it looks like I had only disabled it for the User namespace. --Android Mouse 02:43, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Trivia bot problem

I'm a huge fan of your bot User:Android Mouse Bot 3 and I'm dealing with removing/integrating trivia on pages it has marked. I have noticed, though, that it tags sections marked as "facts." (See, e.g., Missouri ex rel. Gaines v. Canada -- now untagged.) On pages for legal cases, these are often legitimate sections summarizing the facts of the case being decided. Perhaps a filter to eliminate any pages with "v." or "ex rel" in the title would be the best way to keep these from being tagged. Calliopejen1 12:09, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for telling me about this. Someone else previously pointed out the issue with the court case articles and I said I'd get around to fixing the rest and fixing the bot for if/when it is run again. Unfourtunately it looks like it slipped my mind to get to fixing them, but now that you've reminded me I went through and fixed the remainder of the articles it tagged that contained 'v.' in the title. If I missed any, please let me know. Thanks --Android Mouse 16:57, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Boni Blackstone

I understand that you were the one that removed both the Boni Blackstone page and the "Bonnie Blackstone" redirect. I disagree with your decision. As I wrote on my talk page, both Blackstone and her husband Joe Pedicino appeared on nationally-televised professional wrestling programs briefly in the 1990s, and therefore they both are notable enough to be included in my judgment. - Desmond Hobson 17:10, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Actually my bot didn't nominate or delete either of the articles. The Boni Blackstone article was deleted through a process called WP:PROD, although it appears the nominator didn't ever notify you. After that page was deleted someone else nominated the redirect for speedy deletion. They also didn't notify you of that nomination. That is where my bot comes in, it notifies people when their articles are nominated for speedy deletion and the nominator doesn't alert them. --Android Mouse 17:18, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Sure, I'm wrong. But it is generally considered bad etiquette to remove vandal warnings, not to use an edit summary and to not indicate the removal on your talk page. --Android Mouse 18:53, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Android Mouse Bot 2 possible malfunction

I requested that an article I wrote be speedily deleted because it was a stub that could not grow much larger and I did not add anything to Wikipedia. However another user contested it and while he contested it he fixed some grammer errors and did some clean-up. After he did that Android Mouse Bot 2 notified me saying that the user contesting the deletion had nominated the article for deletion. I do not know if this is a malfunction but I thought you should be informed, also if you reply please reply on my talk page ChrisLamb 18:44, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

A similar event happened here -- I wasn't the one who tagged the article, not put the hangon message (although I did move the hangon message to a better location). The bot seemed to think I was the one who tagged the article for deletion., perhaps because I was the last editor before the bot got to the article? -- ArglebargleIV 03:09, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, it's hard to say what caused the problem since the article is already deleted and I can't look at the article's history or diffs. I'll take a look at the code though to see if I can find the problem. Sorry for the inconvience, and thanks for letting me know about this. --Android Mouse 04:46, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Edit to Epoch (reference date)

I fail to see the point of this edit. Can you explain the purpose? --Gerry Ashton 15:10, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

It tells future editors that the Microsoft Office Excel article has a link to Epoch (reference date)#Computing, so changing the heading will break that link. (In other words, anyone who changes the heading should edit Microsoft Office Excel accordingly.) This is a Good Thing, IMO. See WP:MOS#Section management. Also see referential integrity for a related concept. Cheers, CWC 15:56, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

If the "Microsoft Office Excel" article is edited so that it no longer links to the Computing section in "Epoch (reference date)", is the bot capable of removing the comment that it inserted? --Gerry Ashton 18:43, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

No, generally the editor that removes that link should check and make sure such a comment is removed, if it was there. This could although be an idea for a new task for the bot. --Android Mouse 19:21, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Anchor Link Bot weirdness

Hi. I think your Anchor Link Bot may have a problem. It recently edited an article talk page, Talk:Hero System, to record a incoming link from "Hero System" although that article has no such link. The edit history for the article does have such a link, in this edit summary. I suspect the Bot either should not have annotated that header, or should have noted that the source link was in an edit summary.

BTW, marking sections which are the subject of anchored links in mainspace is a great idea. Thanks. CWC 13:56, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Seconded. The Anchor Link Bot is useful. I'm curious what happens once things change (e.g. links are removed), though. Rl 15:42, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Thirded, nifty bot. But I just saw it add a notice to History of video game consoles (fourth generation) where the referring link had been removed almost three days earlier... Anomie 16:26, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing this out also. That creates an interesting problem. The bot finds links from a databbase dump, which is several days old now. Should I double the bot's bandwidth usage and have it check if the link is still intact, or would the doubled bandwidth use not be worth it? --Android Mouse 19:31, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

That I don't know. Will there come a point in time where the bot is "caught up" and only needs to check mainspace pages in recent changes for new/removed links? Anomie 20:42, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

It isn't currently approved to patrol recent changes, and I'm not sure that the task is important enough to warrant that much bandwidth usage to check for removed/added links. If it were approved to remove the comments too, I think it might be better to find such removed links soley from a database dump. --Android Mouse 20:57, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing this out. I could have sworn I downloaded the database dump that only included mainspace articles, but it looks like it contained more than that. I'll add a filter to it so it will no longer tag anything but the mainspace or links from the mainspace. --Android Mouse 19:31, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

I have to say that I have no clue what the use of this bot is, it makes no sense that it put in the tags it did in Horse gait. It makes some sense that a bot might place a message on the page that contains the link as an alert that the section has been changed or no longer exists, that would in fact be a GREAT help to editors, but it seems a waste of bandwidth to put it on the linked article, particularly when "what links here" accomplishes almost the same thing. IMHO, it's annoying and I don't see the purpose.Montanabw 22:16, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

"What links here" won't tell you that Horse links to Horse gait#Gallop. The purpose is to let future editors know that they should update Horse if they rename the Gallop section. Anomie 22:44, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Would is be possible to go through the database dump looking for the notes you have left at sections and then see if the article still links there according to the database dump? This would all work would be looking at the database dump - not using bandwidth, but cases where the link no longer exists to that section has been changed could then be found and removed. Could I have a look at the source code? My understanding of C is a little better than python and so i might be able to figure out more of what is going on than some other examples.:: maelgwn :: talk 03:38, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, that would definately be possible and probably the most efficent method to check for removed links. The source can be found here, it isn't very well commented or pretty. The file, extract_tagged_articles.c is a seperate program that compiles a list for from the dump for the actual bot to read (main.c). --Android Mouse 03:49, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Useless and inappropriate notification

Anchor Link Bot produced this diff, which is entirely useless; the link is not from the pulse (legume) article, but only from its history. It is not reasonable to expect authors to consider links from histories when updated section names. Please fix this bug. --Trovatore 01:06, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Stephanie Rearick

I think Stephanie Rearick is a person of note because she is frequently in the news for her various activities. Most recently was profiled in two local papers for music and as an activist. Her last shows (music) in Madison amd Milwaukee were in the "critics choice" sections of the local papers and was also just featured on NPR podcast. Performers who have played at the venue she co-owns have entries, I feel she shoukd as well. Thanks.

A tag has been placed on Stephanie rearick, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Unclerunkle 18:28, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

If you think she is notable enough for an article and have already looked over Wikipedia's notability guidelines, then I'd suggest perhaps contacting The JPS, since they are the one that deleted the article and would have the ability to undelete it. You could also contact Sceptre since they are the original nominator. --Android Mouse 18:58, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion

I have sent an e-mail to permissions-en@wikimedia.org in which I authorize the re-use of material on my web-site under the GFDL, and have done so on the article Talk page Grandenergy 15:21, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Curious comment added by Anchor Bot

This is a trivial point but I am curious to know why Anchor Bot has added the comment "(Notifying of internal link to section Bungee launch from Human-powered transport)" to the article on Gliding. So what? This is a legitimate link. If this bot adds comments to every article which is cited by another article, it will defeat the purpose of "What links here". JMcC 15:42, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Please hold off on speedy deletion. I'm checking with the copyright holder to see if he'll allow GFDL or public domain.

Photos on Diamond Dallas Page article

I am a friend of Mr. Page. He asked me to upload photos to his Wiki page because he has no time to do such tedious work. Just as you have bots, he has people like me who DO these tasks by hand. I uploaded 3 photos to add to the article (which I will also be editing out the horrible inaccuracies by the article creator - they ARE NOT correct in their data!) and am immediately told they will be "speedily deleted". Please HELP and/or explain why Mr Pages' requests, on an article ABOUT HIM, can not be fulfilled. Iadiedee28 21:38, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Bit Overzealous Bot

Didn't even give me a chance to put the warning template on a user page before it jumped in. Any way to get on an ignore this user list? Q ^{T C} 01:44, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Anchor link Bot

Hi, its a great bot that you are running. :) Anyways, could you please update it to put the comment after manual {{anchor}} tags as well (if the incoming link is not from the same page)? --soum ^talk 07:35, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Would it make sense to alter the bot so notices aren't done when the link is from the same page? As in [13]?

This man is a celebrity in a city called Calcutta in India which was once the capital of India. Thousands of people know him. He is one of the most revered teacher for the course.. why delte it????

The message

Would it not be better to have the message left by the bot to link to the "WP:MOS#Section_management" section"? Something like "Section linked from Blah, blah, blah. See WP:MOS#Section_management. It's still short but explains to the next person why the comment is there. I think the bot is an excellent idea. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 15:52, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Run-on sentence

You've got a run-on sentence in one of the tags for Android Mouse Bot 2. The run-on is: "Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate the article itself." That last comma should be a period and the rest of it should be a separate sentence to fix the run-on issue. Thus: "Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion. It did not nominate the article itself." SchuminWeb (Talk) 18:55, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Anchor Link Bot serves no useful function

In my opinion, the Anchor Link Bot serves absolutely no useful function! I might add that the large majority of readers and editors will never even see the comment on the Edit page. Also, the "What links here" serves the same function. - mbeychok 20:45, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Editors who change the title of the section (or remove the section entirely) will see the comment. And they are the only ones who need to see it, because it's only their edits that will break the link to the section, and it's only they who need to go to the linking article and fix or remove the link. "What links here" doesn't serve this function - nobody's going to wade through hundreds of linking articles to see if their changed section title has broken any links. --Zundark 18:36, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Would it not be a better idea to have the bot simply search pages for such broken links, then alert authors? I realise that this will increase the time for which a link remains incorrectly anchored, however it would be outweighed by repairing broken links from authors who choose to ignore comments placed by the existing anchor link bot. My 2 cents User A1 04:15, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

I've run into this bot too. This is the start of a good idea, as I think section-links could be better handled in MediaWiki. I'd be interested in the source code. The external link on User:Anchor Link Bot doesn't work for me, though.

I also agree with A1. Since the problem is broken section-links, flag those that are actually broken somewhere (perhaps on the linking article talk page, or perhaps in a centralized location for volunteers to sift through), rather than adding notes all over the place for links that do work. It would also help notice broken links from authors who aren't necessarily ignoring such comments, but who don't exactly understand what they need to do when they see them, or that they need to do anything (it's not obvious). It would also help notice broken links created prior to the bot running. It would also reduce needless clutter.

Unusual edit

Can you explain this edit. --TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 00:59, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Android Mouse is currently away, but I can answer that one: The article Eubie Blake links to the section "2006" in the List of recordings preserved in the United States National Recording Registry article. Therefore, if that section title is changed, or if the section is removed, then the link will be broken. The comment serves to warn editors about this, so that if they do change the section title, or remove the section, then they know that they should go to the linking article and fix or remove the link. (In this particular case, the likelihood of the section title being changed is probably low, but in general links to sections are frequently broken, because editors have no way of knowing that they are breaking anything. These comments will hopefully reduce this problem.) --Zundark 18:36, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Page removed Query

The page on Beattie Communications was removed without me even getting the chance to debate it. Any reason why? I'm trying to put together more pages on the media scene in Scotland and if pages are just going to be deleted then what's the point?

Sundial#Precision Noon Marks

I am mystifyed by this bot edit. What is the alleged connection between this loosely written section and Heliocentrism? I could place a link in Sundial head- but why here. This is not a criticism but a genuine attempt to understand your BOT's logic. Enjoy your vacation. ClemRutter 10:07, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

It's not a link, it's just a comment for the benefit of editors who may want to change the section title (or remove the section entirely), so that they know that by doing so they will break a link in another article (and should therefore go and fix or remove that link). --Zundark 18:36, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Minor edits by Android Mouse Bot 4?

Hi. Would it be possible for Android Mouse Bot 4 (talk · contribs) to mark edits as minor, especially when fixing User talk: pages? Minor edits by flagged bots do not trigger the You have new messages bar. This is a great bot nonetheless - just an idea to make its work slightly more transparent. Cheers, Миша13 07:11, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Bot - How does it value wisdom and knowledge?

I am sorry to say but your bot is wrong and should be stopped. I am surprised that Wikipedia lets you run it. The value of knowledge should not be judged by size, but rather its worth in the minds of others. I find it difficult to see how your bot does anything but frustrate editors and readers. Let us the people of the world judge the value of knowledge and wisdom. Let us make mistakes, let others correct them, thats what we do.

Proverb - There once was a truck stuck under a bridge, all the engineers argued on how to unwedge the truck, finally a little girl came forward and offered the suggestion to somebody that would listen -"let the air out of the tires".

Your bot is like people that don't listen or want to learn.--Joewski 01:41, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

slow down there bot

Perhaps it should consider how long an article has been around. Your bot deleted an article I had just created and was in the process of improving. Why!?!?!?! Rtphokie 16:09, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

New bot request

Hi, I'd like to ask if you could program a new bot to locate and add a parameter ("place=top") to all instances of Template:Trivia where the template is used at the top of the article (instead of in a "trivia" or other section). This request was discussed at Template talk:Trivia#Bot request for articles with template at top and met with no objection, although there was a request that a count of qualifying articles be performed first, with the edits to follow later.

Would you be willing to undertake this task? Thanks for your time.-Father Goose 19:44, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

A suggestion for Mouse Bot 2 message wording

Although people don't RTFM, and that's unfortunate, I'm wondering if a bit of rewording might not cut down on the protest messages you get. Something like:

---

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting articlename, 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 leave a message on the bot operator's talk page 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 did not nominate articlename itself. --sig

---

Worth a shot, maybe? *shrug*--Father Goose 20:16, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Maybe you could even change that to "...it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself".--Father Goose 20:27, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Unjust Deletion Request

Hello. This bot tagged the page I created on the Lattice QCD and Numerical Analysis Workshop Series, requesting its deletion because it "is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article." This page is not at all advertising for a company, product, group, service or person; it is simply a historical record. I would like to avoid this in the future, and would be more than happy to listen to your comments. Mallorysmith 12:46, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
