You may want to check out Category:Brisbane Broncos, very interesting, considering there are lot of FA articles, when there are none. SpecialWindler talk (currently offline) 21:52, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

just a thought - there ought to be a space between the time and (UTC). Also, as a matter of personal preference, I think that if you're going to put the date in in yyyy-mm-dd format that the time should follow, not precede. — Timotab Timothy (not Tim dagnabbit!) 08:32, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
Someone interupted me above. The Bot (2) still obviously dosen't work. Talk:Karmichael Hunt is of "A" status not "FA" —Preceding unsigned comment added by SpecialWindler ( talk • contribs) 19:24, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
If you are going to clerk you need to know that they can't make new names when they are close to an already existing username, the software stops it. Telling people to make a new account to fix capitalisation or spacing issues is pointless (they can't) and we generally always do those trivial ones for that reason.

Are you in some way connected to this vandal? He has repeatedly disrupted wikipedia and appears to be making edits to your page. User5802 11:22, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
Hey Chris, thanks for the new clone. Statusbot disappeared pretty quickly. Just a wee problem, it said I was online the morning [1] when i hadn't edited for several hours (Special:Contributions/Maelgwn) cheers :: maelgwn - talk 23:20, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
You are encouraged to create a new account and contribute to Wikipedia under an appropriate username. Our username policy provides guidance on selecting your username.
Alternately, you may request a change in username if you want to keep the contributions from this account. To do so, please follow these directions:
In many cases (especially if your account has few or no edits), it is much easier to create a new account. You may also edit Wikipedia without creating an account. Due to Wikipedia's mechanism for enforcing name changes, your IP address may be temporarily blocked. Unless you have also been engaging in vandalism or impersonation of another user, we will remove that block as soon as possible.
If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below or emailing the administrator who blocked you.

did you make your userpage? if not, where did you get it?
Maddie talk 02:30, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
I don't know if that is intended, but your bot just did some strange edits, like this one [2] (This account has not edited for a few days now) -- lucasbfr talk 13:41, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi, your Chris Bot 3 is updating my Last Edit but not my online/offline status. Why is that?-- Porcupine ( prickle me!) 14:03, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi Chris G I wanted to let you know that Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Chris G Bot 3 is labeled as needing your comment. Please visit the above link to reply to the requests. Thanks! -- BAGBot Talk 23:27, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
I am sorry you felt it necessary not to support my RfA at this time. As you probably know, my RfA did not succeed. I will attempt to get some more experience and diversify myself before applying again in two month's time. I hope I will have allayed your concerns by then, but if not, feel free to comment the way you feel you should. Thank you for participating in my RfA. -- Cobi( t| c| b| cn) 18:14, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi Chris G
I love your bot, but I am not sure of two things:
Thanks, Auroranorth 07:48, 7 October 2007 (UTC) == == Your GA nomination of Fedora (Linux distribution)
Can you tell me what I am doing wrong with Chris G Bot 3? It refuses to change my status, and I use a custom template. Bushcarrot Talk Please Sign! Let's go Lightning! 01:50, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Errm.. Ive noticed its marking me as online even though i havent made any edits...
I can only see it is doing so, because there has been Talk page activity..?
Reedy Boy 11:37, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
Your bot doesn't seem to have updated these for a while.-- Grahamec 02:32, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
Good work on the Bot.

I, SpecialWindler talk (currently in control) , give Chris G this barnstar for his continious efforts in helping making Wikipedia a better place. For his commited efforts in helping with bots, among other things. Keep the Good work Up. SpecialWindler talk (currently in control) 11:42, 19 October 2007 (UTC) |
The article Fedora (Linux distribution) you nominated as a good article has failed , see Talk:Fedora (Linux distribution) for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of said article. If you oppose this decision, you may ask for a reassessment. Cheers, CP 03:22, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
I started the two statusbot pages yesterday I think, and so far, neither your bot or statusbot has updated my status or Last edit pages, located here and here. Is something wrong with the bots? It updates everyone except me. Tyler Warren ( talk/ contribs) 23:16, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Awarded to Chris G for building a much-needed backup to StatusBot that has an added bonus - it won't die! Knock on wood, and congratulations! NASCAR Fan24( radio me!) 17:59, 21 October 2007 (UTC) |
If I were to add colors to the page inside <noinclude> tags, would it disable the bot? Or is there some way to make it red on the main page if disabled and green if enabled? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gawaxay ( talk • contribs) 23:54, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

I came across yourself a few months ago and have followed some of your edits. I would like to say you're an outstanding editor, especially at 13. (Don't worry, I'm 14) :P Rudget Contributions 12:48, 24 October 2007 (UTC) |
When I visit my talk page, your status bot says I am somewhere. Does it always do this? -- Gp75motorsports 19:33, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
I'd like to nominate you for administratorship. Please let me know if you are interested. ⇒ SWATJester Son of the Defender 02:10, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi Chris, I have just changed * {{On AFD|Anthony Chidiac (2nd nomination)}} to * {{On AFD|Anthony Chidiac|Anthony Chidiac (2nd nomination)}} as otherwise it does not point correctly to the artcile. Is this something your bot is not getting correct? -- Bduke 11:07, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
If possible, I think a bot that can find who made a edit or a comment on a talk page and didn't sing there name, and knowbody signed for them. I have no progamming expirence, but i think it could work. - Tobi4242 02:04, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Hey Chris! I was wondering if you could help me a bit :) I know that you are a good programmer, and figured you'd be the person to ask my question to. I'm creating a bot that archives threads on ANI that are marked with the {{ resolved}} template. I have the source code below, written in Python with the Pywikipedia framework, and any tips or fixes would be appreciated. Thanks! ( ar ky ) 05:07, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Hello,
I have already done the trial edits with Estirabot. Is there anything else I have to do? Thank you very much ^^
I'm asking just because I don't know the full process, it's not that I can't wait one day or two more... ;) -- Meldor 19:42, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
