Hi Chris, is there a reason that bot is running without a bot flag? I realize it doesn't do any fast editing, but I couldn't find anything on the current flagging of the bot. Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Chris G Bot 3 is way out of date and doesn't describe the current tasks. I don't want to create a lot of work for you, but it might be best to resend it through brfa with the current tasks. - Taxman Talk 15:51, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
Bot-deleting broken redirects to categories is a bad idea. If the category was renamed you end up deleting a perfectly good redirect that could have just been retargeted. E.g this Gurch ( talk) 16:57, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
Hello Chris, I included and slightly altered the class wikipedia class you once wrote and wanted to notify you about it. It currently resides on https://cyanox.nl/noxbot/trunk/contrib/mediawiki.php . It will be used to automaticly generate the documentation with regards to the bots commands based on the actual source code of those commands. Later it may also be used for interaction other things. I removed the http class which depended on cURL which is not always installed so I made it use my already written request class. I hope you find this information useful or informational and Thanks for the class. Greetings Mark Sanders (aka CyaNox) 77.249.62.218 ( talk) 20:25, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
Per User talk:Vianello#As for some advices ( permalink), an admin from the Vietnamese Wikipedia could use some advice about dealing with page-move vandals. Since the admin that was asked doesn't know what to do to combat this vandalism, I've contacted you to see if you can give him some advice. If you can help, please reply at User talk:Vinhtantran#Re: Mass vandalism (to keep discussion centralized since I've posted this message at the talk pages of several admins). Thanks, Cunard ( talk) 00:34, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Chris, just letting you know I've semi'd your talk page temporarily due to a vandalism flood while you were offline. ~ mazca talk 11:25, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
Somebody (or somebodies, I haven't looked into who yet) has configured ClueBot III incorrectly for talk page archiving. This has caused ClueBot III to archive a whole bunch of talk pages at "Talk:Page 1" instead of "Talk:Page/Archive 1". Your bot is deleting those archive pages. This is content that really needs to be kept and moved to the correct place. ClueBot III should protect against this, but it would also be good for your bot to check for this. If a page is created by one of the archiving bots and is linked to from another page (especially from ClueBot's index pages), it's probably something that needs to be fixed vs. deleted. There are quite a few pages that need restoration and fixing. I'll put a similar note at ClueBot III's talk to ask it's operator to put a check in place. I'll also post a note at WP:AN to see if people want to help with the clean-up. -- JLaTondre ( talk) 19:48, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

No, it is no longer on Main Page. You can't see it on MP, can you? -- BorgQueen ( talk) 12:08, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
I just stumbled about the fact that there is a bot deleting orphaned talk pages. But where is more info about what he does? And did the community approve this? Lastly, why delete pages, instead of listing the links on the user pages, which looks like a much more helpful approach to me? Gray62 ( talk) 10:15, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
I just saw that you had deleted some vandalism on other talk pages, popped over to ask you how to do it, and found your page vandalised, so I've restored it and semi-protected it for 3 days. How do you 'permanently' delete edits? Thanks. Dougweller ( talk) 10:40, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
Talk:Ed Dickson was deleted today, the article has existed for over a week. So why was it deleted? tedder ( talk) 01:56, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

I was surprised when talk:Slash distribution was deleted. Fortunately someone restored it. Is there some reason why this is happening? Michael Hardy ( talk) 23:19, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
I think this is still a problem. The talk page to Lucius Manlius Torquatus was deleted and though it may be a disgraceful undeserving article, it exists. -- 15lsoucy ( talk) 05:46, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
When your bot updates User:Orphaned talkpage deletion bot/Trial, can you have it also put in a link to the article name? It's a nice doublecheck that the article itself is a redlink. Thanks! tedder ( talk) 11:17, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
hi there,
I just noticed that Talk:Steamship Atlantic was deleted by this bot. I had some web addresses there that I hoped to use as references for a future article, which I had not bookmarked anywhere else. Is it possible to recover the text from the deleted page? Mike McGregor (Can) ( talk) 00:01, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Chris - Please help. I'm trying to write a bot for a non-wikimedia wiki site. I sent you an email via Wikipedia if you could take a look when you get a moment. I'd really appreciate any help. v/r--- TParis00ap ( talk) 13:43, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
This bot has malfunctioned and there is no button on the user page I can click to stop the bot. The bot left a message on my talk page saying that the image I uploaded on the Didymochlaena truncatula page violates copyright. It doesn't though. I took the picture myself at a botanical garden and released it into the public domain as is clearly stated on the info page associated with the picture. Please correct this mistake.

Should the first parameter take the form of "Category:Name of the category" or just "Name of the category"? — harej ( talk) ( cool!) 16:54, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
