Hi. Thanks for your input. (1) I am curious ... what makes you think I am referring to Real96? Also, (2) The issue is not how to archive a page. I have asked repeatedly -- still with no answers -- as to WHY one is not supposed to delete old "Help Me" messages. I still do not know the answer to that question, though I have asked it many times. And, after refusing to answer my simple (yet reasonable) question, a user takes the affirmative steps to revert edits on my Talk Page, without explanation? What is THAT all about? How about giving a newcomer some simple answers? Wiki is hardly welcoming ... and is starting to seem like a bunch of elitist snobs. How about some help when a newcomer asks? I am apalled by the behavior of some here. If you would like, please reply to my questions. If not, it would be par for the course that my actual questions do NOT get answered. Thanks. I'd appreciate any input. ( JosephASpadaro 02:31, 30 April 2007 (UTC))
Its your choice to archive or not, see this. :) I'd recommend it, but you really don't have to. —— Eagle101 Need help? 17:35, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
I don't know what you are asking, all I will say is there is no rule that forces you to archive anything, but its custom to do so. :) —— Eagle101 Need help? 01:56, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

I agree that they make the noticeboard easier to edit, especially on a slow connection, but I've been thinking extra section breaks might actually discourage discussions from reaching a conclusion, like people subconsciously assume there is a posting quota to be filled. Maybe. Of course, maybe you ought to take everything I say with a gram of salt. — CharlotteWebb 07:56, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

207.207.127.254 is still vandalizing his own talk page (check out this ). Was the semi-protection you enabled really that short-lived? Xerxesnine 16:55, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
Please unprotect my talk page. I wasn't aware that even editing other people's comments was illegal, especially since looking at WP:Talk, it clearly states:
"Editing others' comments (except on your own user talk page) is generally not allowed." I took this to mean that I could edit others' comments on my own talk page. I am sorry if I am in violation: it simply seemed to state clearly that I was allowed to do this. If it is in fact illegal, then I won't do it anymore, but please check with the rules before banning me. -N
Yes, he made his opinion clear after I committed this 'transgression' Note that ATren seems to enjoy following me around, causing trouble and generally harassing me. I have asked him to stop on numerous occassions. This IP isn't shared, and is in fact tied to this computer. Attempts to edit this information on the talk page, however, have been met with threats and disdain.
At present the spam filter means it is not possible to edit Wikipedia:Protected titles/May 2007/List as an whole, only in sections and the Symbols section cannot be edited all.

Gosh. I thought I was up on Wiki jargon but I seem to have wandered into a corner where they speak a different language! I will repeat my request more carefully: I attempt an whole-page edit of Wikipedia:Protected titles/May 2007/List. When I try to save the edits, I get a message "The spam filter blocked your page save …".
Can you please move the items which are causing this spam filter block out to a separate list so that mere admins can use the list to create other, "routine" blocks? -- RHaworth 18:37, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Please see the discussions at the Kreis Wongrowitz article talk page my talk page and re-evaluate. I could care less about the links to my site (well, not enough to fight about it, anyway), but *do* care a lot about some several thousands of people who I know would want to have this data, this convenient. Your choices are: ignore their needs, create tens of thousands (there were some 8000 villages in Posen alone, and about at least 500 church districts in two faiths, civil reg. districts, etc. etc.) of replacement arcticles in WikiPedia, or revert things back to the way they were. You might consider getting some feedback from the Historical States Project itself. btw, by reverting back, the articles are now in another state of complaint, that is: not enough info. I'm so tired of fighting for the audience, against the editors, I'm about ready to mark every article in the project for deletion and let them die. Bwood 22:36, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

You blocked this user once before for repeated personal attacks and edit warring. Lately I've been having the same problem with him.
Since you are familiar with this user from before, can you look it over and take any action you consider appropriate? Had it just been his first post I would have let it go, but it seems to me that this guy's oppositional tendencies are going to be increasingly at odds with community values if he is allowed to continue as he has been. He should be strongly encouraged to change his ways or reconsider his future involvement with the project. Daniel Case 17:13, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

The only reply to my suggestion for a bot was made here by User:Stemonitis, who is one of the most frequent closing admins there. Barely anyone else seemed interested in that whole section to revamp the WP:RM instructions and process, although it was partly in response to a bigger concern that WP:RM is too bureaucratic. I've started a section here to seek further consensus.
Yes, daily at 0:00 UTC please. All that needs to be inserted is
==[[{{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}}]] [[{{CURRENTYEAR}}]]==
preferably with an empty line above it, like
in this edit, assuming the ==[[11 May]] [[2007]]==
below that would already have an empty line above it (from the bot edit made the previous day). As long as there is 1 empty line between each date section, just so the closers can find them easier to move to the contested section.
Optionally, move <!--- Please place new requests at the TOP of the list -->
up from the line following the next section title, to the line under this new section title. But this second part isn't very necessary assuming people can notice the directions higher up the page. Thanks. –

Hello, Eagle 101. An automated process has found and removed an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, and thus is being used under fair use that was in your userspace. The image ( Image:WikiDiscussion Manager 0.8.14.JPG) was found at the following location: User:Eagle 101/WikiDiscussion Manager. This image or media was attempted to be removed per criterion number 9 of our non-free content policy. The image or media was replaced with Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg , so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. Please find a free image or media to replace it with, and or remove the image from your userspace. User:Gnome (Bot) -talk 10:50, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
And even if you did, I'm sure Betacommand didn't. I quote:
This image is a screenshot of a copyrighted television program or station ID. As such, the copyright for it is most likely owned by the company or corporation that produced it. It is believed that the use of a limited number of web-resolution screenshots for identification and critical commentary on the station ID or program and its contents on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. For more information, see Wikipedia:Non-free content.
To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Image description page, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.
I did just that for my images, and if you had read the comments on those other images, you'll find that the other people who uploaded them have done the same. The deletion of those images is unjustified. Now you claim you can get a free image of Tania Gunadi, but I just tried to find her image in the commons, and couldn't. I'll let that slide, but I still think her image is appropriate for the episode My Best Friend's Girlfriend (Even Stevens), regardless of the false accuastions of there being no rational. ---- DanTD 14:24, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

THe code you wrote for the gnome bot does not recognize that some images in wikipedia are intended to market wikipedia. Specifically, Wikipedia keeps a banners and buttons archive which has banners that you post on your own website! The only articles these banners and buttons are included in IF they are included is on USER PAGES! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Banners_and_buttons The image is free-- I made it. The image is trademarked only in so far as it was WIKIPEDIA IMAGE. THis is something that is true of all or half of the banners and buttions. Correct the code in the GNOME BOT to respect banners and buttons. REstore the deleted images created by your beta test. Mrdthree 15:17, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
The image Image:Cs utility.jpg is a screenshot of a software tool provided by Apple as part of OS X. The screenshot was being used as a demonstration on a talk page of how users might go about performing a color conversion. I think this is a perfectly reasonable example of a fair use usage, even if it isn't on the main article namespace (and improves wikipedia, by helping editors to make accurate color conversions). The Gnome bot replaced the image with a "removed non-free image" image on the talk page ( Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Color), and tagged the image itself as orphaned. I'm wondering if there's any more comprehensive policy, and if you could clarify these actions by the bot. I don't think the current use is improper, but IANAL. Feel free to contact me at my talk page. -- jacobolus (t) 10:03, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

GnomeBot removed an image from my userpage that was already in use on the PartiallyClips page. The image is from that webcomic and references Wikipedia.
If the image can be used on the article, I'm at a loss to understand why it can't be on my userpage; they're both part of Wikipedia. Furthermore, I made a point to give credit for the image and source.

This does not necessarily mean that the image is being deleted, or that the image is being removed from other pages. It is only being removed from the page mentioned above. [If that's so, then "necessarily" above is superfluous; if "necessarily" isn't superfluous, there's a contradiction.] All mainspace instances of this image will not be affected [Period.

OK then. Here is a first draft:
You'll notice that there's nothing about "media". If you also want to go around zapping OGG files or whatever, fine; write a different template for that. (If you must use the term "media", note that "a media" is not standard English, except perhaps among teenagers.)
The message (which is only a first draft and should be checked very carefully indeed before mass use) attempts to explain, or to link to explanations of, what might be called technical terms. I'm not going to spend my time looking for these explanatory links: this bot is your baby; you can do it as easily as me. Anyway, I have to leave my computer in order to attend to my paying job.
And of course the message gives a link to your (this) talk page, rather than luring people to a talk page that tells them messages posted there won't be read. -- Hoary 01:37, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Thought I'd mix up the heading for you. ;-) There's some discussion of the bot at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content#short-sighted use of a bot to remove fair-use from user pages, if you weren't aware. What I actually wanted to suggest is a change in the bot's functionality. From what I can tell, the bot currently removes the image with no trace of the original. This can be problematic, for example, when someone is referring to an image on a talk page. The image should be removed, don't get me wrong; however, completely removing the image makes it difficult to tell what the person was discussing without going through the page history. Would it be a good idea (and possible to implement) for the bot to remove the image but then add <!--commented out text--> containing the filename so that the image isn't displayed, but it's still there for reference purposes? Oh, and by the way...

Thanks for the unblock, and apologies to have increased the backlog at CAT:RFU -- I didn't know what was happening and hence added the unblock template to my talk page. -- Paddu 22:34, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
I noticed you took the mediation between Urthogie and Taharqa. Now, I was not around when this dispute started, and have tried to keep myself out of it, however for the life of me, I cannot endure Taharqa's constant accusations of ignorance/bad-faith/numerous-other vices much longer. If at all possible, during this mediation, could you get her to stop? Thanatosimii 04:02, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
Dear Eagle101,
I can not log into VandalProof. I was authorized to use it three months ago. I get a message "corrupt user list. Contact a moderator". What am I doing wrong? Thank you so much for your time! LaSaltarella 05:48, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
You ran a successful test with Gnome here that added the new date at WP:RM, but it hasn't repeated the action in the few days since then. Can you automate that edit, which would allow us to further shorten the instructions for the page? Dekimasu よ! 09:46, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi Eagle 101, Your gnome (bot) (see
User talk:Gnome (Bot)#Image:The end video by birdhouse.jpg) has a bug when replacing text. It may be something you want to investigate and rectify. The replacement picture was not shown after you bot had gone through to do its business. I am refering to the edit it made on 08:58, 18 May 2007 on
User:Ric man/Images gallery. HTH,

It seems tbe bot fails to replace non-free images in some cases. Anyway... an image used by a userbox defined as a subpage of a userpage and shown on the userpage results in a message on the talk page, but no replacement of the image. Needs to be fixed. Eric Bronder 13:19, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

I am the author of the image, but have gifted the copyright to the Church of the SubGenius. How do I mark the image such that GnomeBot will not remove it again? -- IMBJR 15:46, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
Could you please unprotect? The page is in the middle of being edited. I'm not going to revert FeloniousMonk again, but if you check out Talk you'll see that a lot of other editors are in the middle of tweaking the other version for look and feel. Protecting the page will quell that progress. Please consider my request carefully. Thanks in advance. -- MalcolmGin Talk / Conts 01:35, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
I see no evidence we are "losing good contributors because of this", and I see a clear benefit; vandals and other ne'er-do-wells can no longer hide behind proxies. And I'm not "changing a policy", I'm enforcing it. Policy is that open proxies are not allowed to edit. Period. Jayjg (talk) 07:46, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
Alternatively, he could stop running a TOR exit node, and then the problem would go away. Jayjg (talk) 08:12, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Received the message and changed the image, thanks.

Your bot appears to be running inefficinetly: rather than remove all non-free images from my userspace and note all of em in one single comment (which would be ideal), I'm getting many incremental ones, to the point where it resembles spam. I have been in the project for years, long before FU and other non-free image policies. Please do not have your bot leave any further comments on my talk page, just have it remove the images silently. But I do, again, encourage you to code it so that it does everything at once. I'm seeing some user talk pages and it is riddled with comments from your bot, each one taking a full section and paragraph-sized template, whereas that paragraph can feature a list of all the respective images in one section, at one given instance. And then it's over. Many thanks in advance. El_C 16:01, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi. I seems that the issue of multiple notices being put on users' talkpages has been raised several times already (both here and on the bot's talk). A solution I thought of would be to approach the problem from a different side. First, gather all information (I assume you go image by image checking file links). Then group it per user and only then proceed to action. This way, when approaching a user, you'll have a full list of images that violate the policy in his userspace, so you can list them all at once in the message and then remove. What do you think? Should be fairly easy to accomplish, no? Миша 13 22:27, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
As the protecting editor, could you weigh in on the current discussion? We did manage to achieve consensus (from all four people who showed up once you took their toys away), and so I requested editprotection, and not only got slammed, but attacked and insulted, which is starting a fire of a different kind on the talk page. As you were the protector of ignorance and disobedience, it would be helpful if you could clarify what you're looking for in terms of consensus, etc. Thanks, Miss Mondegreen talk 11:04, May 21 2007
I'm only making a few edits per minute (I think the average is 4/min or something). In reality, I probably will create a bot account once I come up with a good name. Cheers. -- MZMcBride 04:06, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
can i know why my article on Abdul Qadir Junejo was deleted, plz, iam waiting for your response

I noticed that you forgot the "d" in "Closed" when closing this mediation case. The template wouldn't display "close" so I added the "d" and it now says "Closed". I don't know if there are other things to do to that closed case to ensure it is added to the closed case category or whatever else needs to be done to it. I also don't know if there is a particular template that needs to be added to the article's talk page or if the "open mediation case" template can simply be removed. -- ElKevbo 20:42, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

What are a bit more extensive explanation of deletion of this page? It was more about the technology, not the company - besides, informative, not promoting. This is what I said also on the Talk page. There was also a reply on my explanation that the page seemed ok. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Umbitis ( talk • contribs)
Hi. The reason why there is no references to other outside source is that this is very brand new technology and there are no way the world can know about it. We have been at the Audio Engineering Society (AES) Pro Audio Expo & Convention and there were several industry leaders who expressed that this is a breakthrough technology. Mostly, due to this reason I made a decision for an entry in Wikipedia. My other suggsestion, I can leave out the company and make an article about CONEQ technology itself. Umbitis 07:33, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
OK. Then I leave this job until the technology appears on all the loudspeakers out there. See ya. Umbitis 08:55, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

I see you blocked this as an open proxy.
I've been going through the French list of open proxies and I noticed that open proxy notices had been deleted after a few months as part of "old IP warning cleanup" by bots. Those are probably not notices anyone should delete but I'm not sure bots are very judicious.
I suggest also leaving the notice on the user page; otherwise, there's no record of any open proxy and it wastes time when people are going through lists (such as this one) looking for open proxies. -- A. B. (talk) 13:10, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
That cool light you have at the corner of your pages- how did you get it? Is it possible for me to make this? How does it work? Thanks! SeanMD80 talk | contribs 17:52, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi - just a quick one about this tag - I noticed you sent Pony Island to AFD with the rationale The given reason was: db-repost. This is not a valid speedy reason as there does not seem to be an AFD or other discussion on this... However if you read the repost tag it states "Previously PROD-deleted articles are not eligible under this criterion, and Speedily deleted articles are not automatically eligible for this criterion. Check the deletion log for prior deletion rationales." hich indicates that the tag IS a valid speedy reason if the content is the same as a previous speedy - I say indicates as the tag is a bit vague. However it IS clear that no AFD is required in many cases.
Either that or the criteria has been changed and nobody has updated the tag? I don't know. -- Fredrick day 10:02, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Re this, not that I really care, and this is mostly out of curiosity, but I'm a bit confused. For one, I don't think "talk page of a deleted page" can really apply to a user talk page. I believe the consensus is that one can remove comments from their talk page because there's still a page history that people can look at, but.. what gives for this situation? -- Ned Scott 21:53, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
Eagle, please slow down. I am trying to rewrite the blasted article. look at my contribution record. I have no COI and i don't tolerate spam any more than you do. Ocatecir recreated it in my name space for the purpose. Please undelete it for the record (though I could do it myself)--but with 3 admins working on the same article at the same time it can get confusing. DGG 04:11, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
Hey Eagle, I just closed the above mentioned DRV and it has something around 1400 subpages all of which have to be deleted. Can you please help me with some kind of script to nuke them all? Thanks -- Srikeit 04:33, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
There's a whole truckload of templates involved with this whole mess as well. They all start with either "List of people" or "Lopbn". Also, the Wikipedia-space pages Wikipedia:List of people by name, Wikipedia:LoPbN Meta-structure, and Wikipedia:LoPbN index-template generation but I don't know if they should be handled separately or not. Warpstar Rider 11:11, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
Could I ask for a list of all the pages that were deleted to be deposited on a subpage of the MfD? And then a link to the subpage placed on the MfD, with a link to the DRV discussion as well? I am assuming of course that you kept a list of all the pages that were deleted... Thanks! Carcharoth 15:25, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
The template I am talking about is Template:List of people by name compact page-index. Could I ask you to hold off on deleting that, as it is this template that holds the key to the pages I wanted to make copies of. It is only these pages I am asking to be undeleted/whatever, so I can get hold of a copy to carry out step one of my proposal. Carcharoth 15:30, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
