Na razie nie widzę tam żadnych zamówień. Jeśli się jakieś pojawią - daj mi znać (chyba że już są, a ja ich zwyczajnie nie widzę). Co do Zielonej Góry - zaiste, zgrało mi kilka ścieżek na raz. Juz poprawiłem, dzięki za czujność. Halibu tt 23:43, Nov 6, 2004 (UTC)

Wiki słownik logo

I like Image:Tsca_wiktionary_logo2.png for Wiki słownik. Nice design. —Tkinias 10:33, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Image:Margrethe II.PNG

Tsca, thanks for clarifying the delete classification for this image. In the future, you may consider using Template:db, which you could use in the following format: {{db|A recreation of previously deleted copyvio: [[Image:Margrethe II.jpg]]}}. Cheers. --DropDeadGorgias (talk) 02:04, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC)

Bot-generated articles

Hi there! Some time ago at Wikipedia:Wikiproject Geography of Poland someone proposed to create a large number of bot-generated articles on Polish powiats and communes and Ausir advised me to contact you over this issue. Do you know how to do it? Halibu tt 17:34, 22 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Babel

Could you consider adding this template to your userpage? It is very helpful in case translators are needed and such.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 15:38, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'm hardly active on en:, so the template would be misleading, if anything. Thanks for the suggestion, though. / tsca ✉ 20:13, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

respirator

I'm in the process of rewriting the English respirator article. A respirator is a device that protects the wearer from poisonous or toxic dusts, mists, gases, or vapors - another term for this device is gas mask. A mechanical ventilator is the device that breathes for a hospital patient. A person on artificial life support is on a ventilator, not a respirator.

Unfortunately, English-speaking newspaper and television reporters seem to think the two words are interchangeable, and several months ago a well-meaning editor created the 'respirator' entry incorrectly with content about ventilators. Since Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, it's important that the correct terms be used for the correct devices. I'm currently trying to merge the gas mask article into the respirator article, and I've had the 'under construction' template at the top of the entry for a few weeks.

Tsca.bot is automagically linking the Danish, Polish, Swedish, German, and Norwegian entries for 'respirator' to the English 'respirator' page, but the bot should be linking those entries to the English mechanical ventilator entry instead. I went through this same explanation with Flabot a few weeks ago, and that bot has honored my request, but tsca.bot is picking up right where Flabot left off. I don't speak these five languages (except for very basic German) but the photos and root words I recognize in those pages are clearly related to ventilators. English and these languages share a common word that does not have a common meaning, and the encyclopedia is suffering as a result of the various bots linking to like words instead of like meanings.

I've removed the 'in other languages' links, and I'd appreciate it if you could reprogram tsca.bot to tell it to stop linking the 'respirator' entries of other languages to the English respirator entry. If you want to link them to something, please begin linking them to the English mechanical ventilator entry instead. Thanks very much for your help. ddlamb 03:39, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Tsca! - ddlamb 02:35, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Grampians

Just letting you know that Grampians National Park in is Australia and de:Grampian Mountains is in Scotland, the bot added the link twice. - Diceman 13:34, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Such links need to be fixed manually, as they were manually introduced...

The Twelve Apostles/Disciples

Please be careful about hiding vandalism. Your bot "hid" vandalism on The Twelve Apostles/Disciples at April 25th 20:52 by replacing the interwiki when the external links had been removed by a vandal. Eli Falk 14:36, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The bot did no such thing :-) Please hide the bot edits from your watchlist and Recent Changes, and you'll be able to observe all manual edits. tsca @ 14:39, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's not my watch llist which is the problem. I had no reason to watch that article - I just happened to be trying yesterday to find the right category for interwiki with a Hebrew Wikipedia category page, and I happenned to notice this vandalism yesterday for that reason. The fact that no one found it until then is probably because of your bot. Eli Falk 14:46, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please get acquainted with the way Wikipedia works before making such statements and stop blaming others for sb else's vandalism. tsca @ 14:50, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WP:1.0

I see that you are from the Polish Wikipedia, and that you changed things a little bit on WP:1.0, so I have to presume that you are involved to a degree in the Polish static version project (and please forgive me if I'm wrong! :)) Sj, from the Static content subcommittee, has requested that the static version projects from the different Wikipedias meet on IRC to exchange ideas and collaborate, so what do you think? Could you ask the active static versioning members in plwiki, so we could arrange a meeting sometime soon? Tito xd^(?!?) 19:28, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it's actually a separate one, although it would be nice if these issues were also discussed in the SPC meeting announced on meta as well. Tito xd^(?!?) 15:37, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent. Hopefully, we'll be able to make that decision soon. Tito xd^(?!?) 15:54, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

doc page pattern

Hi Tsca. Re: your bot edit to Template:Infobox Disease: This template uses the Wikipedia:template doc page pattern. The interwikis should go to the Template:Infobox Disease/doc in this case (I've fixed it there). Could you tweak your bot to adapt for the template doc page pattern? --Ligulem 20:24, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Problem solved. Got your email ("... someone manually linked this template with a regular article (!), see http://pl.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Pinta_%28choroba%29&diff=next&oldid=3042688 and the bot followed that"). Cheers! --Ligulem 22:18, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your bot is doing the same error again: http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Template%3AInfobox_Disease&diff=76850031&oldid=76845226
Please have a deeper look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Template_doc_page_pattern.
Interwikis shouldn't be added to the template page on templates that use that pattern. --Ligulem 11:00, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Request for your bot

Not sure if your bot is capable of doing this, but there's only one way to find out! By consensus Brabham Racing Organisation was recently moved to Brabham. This left over 200 pages [1] pointing to the original article and redirecting to the new article. Could your bot possibly go through these pages and update the Wikilinks to Brabham? If not do you know of a bot that can? Thanks, Alexj2002 19:42, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Done. / tsca @ 02:14, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks for doing that (and thanks Alex for putting the request in) 4u1e 06:30, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just to second, thanks for that - saved a lot of work doing it manually. Alexj2002 18:31, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Automated message to bot owners

As a result of discussion on the village pump and mailing list, bots are now allowed to edit up to 15 times per minute. The following is the new text regarding bot edit rates from Wikipedia:Bot Policy:

Until new bots are accepted they should wait 30-60 seconds between edits, so as to not clog the recent changes list and user watchlists. After being accepted and a bureaucrat has marked them as a bot, they can edit at a much faster pace. Bots doing non-urgent tasks should edit approximately once every ten seconds, while bots who would benefit from faster editing may edit approximately once every every four seconds.

Also, to eliminate the need to spam the bot talk pages, please add Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard to your watchlist. Future messages which affect bot owners will be posted there. Thank you. --Mets501 05:13, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Notability of Asgaard (band)

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Asgaard (band), by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Asgaard (band) 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.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Asgaard (band), 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.

Witaj, dziś przeniesiono artykuły o żużlowych reprezentacjach. W wielu artykułach jednak linki odsyłają do starej nazwy.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Tsca wiktionary logo2.png

A tag has been placed on File:Tsca wiktionary logo2.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I2 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, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 18:34, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

File source problem with File:Gz 2004 oiz ubt.jpeg

Thank you for uploading File:Gz 2004 oiz ubt.jpeg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Vendsyssel, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Color Line (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Please claim your upload(s): File:Gz 2004 oiz ubt.jpeg

Hi, This image was seemingly uploaded prior to current image polices, Thank you.

However, as part of ongoing efforts to ensure all media on English Wikipedia is correctly licensed and attributed it would be appreciated if you were able to confirm, that it was your own work, by marking it as {{own}}, amending the {{information}} added by a third party, and by changing the license to an appropriate "self" variant. You can also add |claimed=yes to the {{media by uploader}} tag if it is present to indicate that you've acknowledged the image, and license shown (and updated the {{information}} where appropriate).

This will assist those reviewing the many many "free" images on commons that have not yet been transfered to Commons. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 08:43, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
