Thanks for uploading File:D-MART Logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 02:34, 13 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi Jon Kolbert. Can I ask why you made this addition to this wikipedia approaching midnight one night last week? /info/en/?search=Gordon_Matheson and what your affiliation to Mr. Matheson is? This would appear to be harrasment. "Mr Matheson was arrested by Police for committing an indecent act, with another man who was not his partner, in a public place. The Police reported this incident to the Procurator Fiscal. In a further development Mr Matheson was not prosecuted by the Procurator Fiscal citing insufficient evidence a criminal act was committed. In January 2013 Mr Matheson issued a public apology to his partner for this transgression."

Hello, Jon Kolbert. Voting in the 2018 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23.59 on Sunday, 3 December. All users who registered an account before Sunday, 28 October 2018, made at least 150 mainspace edits before Thursday, 1 November 2018 and are not currently blocked are eligible to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
If you wish to participate in the 2018 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 18:42, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

Jon if I go through the bot diffs and find broken archive URLs due to indiscriminate search/replaces I will not be a happy camper. Partly because we already discussed it in the brfa and partly because it will create a ton of work for me my bot to clean up (it's not a fully automated fix). The solution to skipping archive URLs is trivial. -- Green C 05:17, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
Hi there, just wanted to let you know about errors caused by recent bot edits, at Scotch College, Adelaide (removed a useful part of a citation, including ref tag) and George Allen (American politician) (removed part of a sentence and a useful part of a citation, including ref tag). I've fixed the errors but thought I'd give you a heads-up. Cheers, Jessicapierce ( talk) 20:52, 9 December 2018 (UTC)

Just to let you know, I declined your request for G6 speedy deletion of 2017 New Brunswick New Democratic Party leadership election as being in the way of an uncontroversial page move. The only page I could see that might be moved there would have been New Brunswick New Democratic Party leadership election, 2017, and it is already at the correct title according to how all the other articles on that subject are named. If you had some other move in mind, ask again, and this time use the template {{Db-move|page to be moved|reason}} to make it clear what you have in mind. -- MelanieN ( talk) 01:23, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
Jon, the bot is breaking archive URLs:
There are more possibly many more. I could spend hours trying to manually find and restore these (sigh). The problem now is even if they are restored, KolbertBot has free reign to break them again, undoing the fix. Can you provide a solution that does not damage archive URLs. -- Green C 17:24, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

Hello Jon Kolbert,
This year's award for the Reviewer of the Year goes to Onel5969. Around on Wikipedia since 2011, their staggering number of 26,554 reviews over the past twelve months makes them, together with an additional total of 275,285 edits, one of Wikipedia's most prolific users.
See also the list of top 100 reviewers.
The backlog is now approaching 5,000, and still rising. There are around 640 holders of the NPR flag, most of whom appear to be inactive. The 10% of the reviewers who do 90% of the work could do with some support especially as some of them are now taking a well deserved break.
At #1 position, the Community Wishlist poll closed on 3 December with a resounding success for NPP, reminding the WMF and the volunteer communities just how critical NPP is to maintaining a clean encyclopedia and the need for improved tools to do it. A big 'thank you' to everyone who supported the NPP proposals. See the results.
Due to a number of changes having been made to the feed since this three-minute video was created, we have been asked by the WMF for feedback on the video with a view to getting it brought up to date to reflect the new features of the system. Please leave your comments here, particularly mentioning how helpful you find it for new reviewers.

Hi Jon. There is a bot run planned to move all the articles, so you don't have to do them manually! Cheers, Number 5 7 06:59, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
I think the lists you're using may be incomplete as I noticed that you don't seem to be moving all the articles in a set (for example, see Category:Elections in the Falkland Islands, Category:General elections in Gibraltar or Category:Elections in the Turks and Caicos Islands). Cheers, Number 5 7 16:27, 5 December 2018 (UTC)
Hello again. Any chance you could do a quick batch of moves using your regex method – those in Category:Local and municipal elections in Denmark that haven't been moved to the correct titles?
How does that work by the way? Number 5 7 22:11, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
(([A-z -.]{1,}), ([0-9]{4}))
and replace it with $1\n$3 $2

22:31, 10 December 2018 (UTC)Hi Jon. If you have time, I've found another batch that need to be moved at Category:Papal conclaves (about a third were moved by the bot, but the remainder not). Cheers, Number 5 7 10:01, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Nathalie Morin, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page La Presse ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Hi, I was pointed out to your bot that is changing HTTP addresses into HTTPS. Is it working on this list of replacements, right?
With my bot I have been doing a similar job on Italian Wikipedia, based on transformation rules from HTTPS Everywhere and Chromium HSTS preloads. It looks like those are complementary approaches (the data is collected in a different way). I've run the bot only a few days ago and I'm not planning another round on Italian Wikipedia shortly, but if I will run it again it may be a good idea for me to integrate also your list (or if you want to run it on Italian Wikipedia, I would welcome it!). - Laurentius ( talk) 07:53, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

Hello Jon Kolbert,
More new features are being added to the feed, including the important red alert for previously deleted pages. This will only work if it is selected in your filters. Best is to 'select all'. Do take a moment to check out all the new features if you have not already done so. If anything is not working as it should, please let us know at NPR. There is now also a live queue of AfC submissions in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to review AfCs, but bear in mind that NPP is an official process and policy and is more important.
Articles are still not always being checked thoroughly enough. If you are not sure what to do, leave the article for a more experienced reviewer. Please be on the alert for any incongruities in patrolling and help your colleagues where possible; report patrollers and autopatrolled article creators who are ostensibly undeclared paid editors. The displayed ORES alerts offer a greater 'at-a-glance' overview, but the new challenges in detecting unwanted new content and sub-standard reviewing do not necessarily make patrolling any easier, nevertheless the work may have a renewed interest factor of a different kind. A vibrant community of reviewers is always ready to help at NPR.
The backlog is still far too high at between 7,000 and 8,000. Of around 700 user rights holders, 80% of the reviewing is being done by just TWO users. In the light of more and more subtle advertising and undeclared paid editing, New Page Reviewing is becoming more critical than ever.
NPR is triage, it is not a clean up clinic. This move feature is not limited to bios so you may have to slightly re-edit the text in the template before you save the move. Anything that is not fit for mainspace but which might have some promise can be draftified - particularly very poor English and machine and other low quality translations.
Remember to use the message feature if you are just tagging an article for maintenance rather than deletion. Otherwise articles are likely to remain perma-tagged. Many creators are SPA and have no intention of returning to Wikipedia. Use the feature too for leaving a friendly note note for the author of a first article you found well made or interesting. Many have told us they find such comments particularly welcoming and encouraging.
Admins are now taking advantage of the new time-limited user rights feature. If you have recently been accorded NPR, do check your user rights to see if this affects you. Depending on your user account preferences, you may receive automated notifications of your rights changes. Requests for permissions are not mini-RfAs. Helpful comments are welcome if absolutely necessary, but the bot does a lot of the work and the final decision is reserved for admins who do thorough research anyway.
School and academic holidays will begin soon in various places around the Western world. Be on the lookout for the usual increase in hoax, attack, and other junk pages.
Our next newsletter might be announcing details of a possible election for co-ordinators of NPR. If you think you have what it takes to micro manage NPR, take a look at New Page Review Coordinators - it's a job that requires a lot of time and dedication.

Hi,
I happened to notice that links in 1700 articles ( insource:fbclid) include fbclid parameters. I asked about it and some very kind people told me KolbertBot 4 was supposed to be removing them. But maybe the bot has some minor hiccup?
I don't want to nag, probably you already know about it, or maybe you're busy with something else, which would be perfectly fine. This is just a tiny ping just in case something's wrong and you haven't yet noticed.
Many thanks for your time and efforts and best regards, Jens ( 84.173.225.148 ( talk) 22:00, 30 June 2019 (UTC))
I just noticed this on something on my watchhlist, and I suspect it's a problem everywhere now. While performing "Task #2 : Remove link referral data", User:KolbertBot removes the referral information from the URLs. Which is fine for most normal URLs, but if the archive URL had referral data, it now doesn't work. Example:
with
archive-url= https://archive.today/20181206171026/https://thediplomat.com/2018/12/chinas-djibouti-base-a-one-year-update/
Well intentioned, I'm sure, but the new link does not work. Which rather defeats the whole point of having an archive-url to begin with.
Could we consider disabling this feature on "|archive-url" for archive.is / archive.today for the time being? Or somehow preventing the bot from mangling them? PvOberstein ( talk) 14:52, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
Can you tell me more about this IP range you blocked? [9] I can't seem to find a detailed record.
This IP editor created the account DanWarpp [10] which is an alternative account of user QuestFour [11]
QuestFour has been warned several times for edit warring. [12]
Most recently they have been warned by Binksternet, [13] with whom they had also come into conflict while editing under the IP. Kolya Butternut ( talk) 02:37, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
Hello Jon Kolbert,
Instead of reaching a magic 300 as it once did last year, the backlog approaching 6,000 is still far too high. An effort is also needed to ensure that older unsuitable older pages at the back of the queue do not get automatically indexed for Google.
A proposal is taking place here to confirm a nominated user as Coordinator of NPR.
Why I Hate Speedy Deleters, a 2008 essay by long since retired Ballonman, is still as valid today. Those of us who patrol large numbers of new pages can be forgiven for making the occasional mistake while others can learn from their 'beginner' errors. Worth reading.
Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon (you will need to have 'Nominated for deletion' enabled for this in your filters) may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders using Twinkle. They require your further verification.
Please be sure to look for the tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. WMF policy requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.
Regular reviewers will appreciate the most recent enhancements to the New Pages Feed and features in the Curation tool, and there are still more to come. Due to the wealth of information now displayed by ORES, reviewers are strongly encouraged to use the system now rather than Twinkle; it will also correctly populate the logs.
Stub sorting, by SD0001: A new script is available for adding/removing stub tags. See User:SD0001/StubSorter.js, It features a simple HotCat-style dynamic search field. Many of the reviewers who are using it are finding it an improvement upon other available tools.
Assessment: The script at User:Evad37/rater makes the addition of Wikiproject templates extremely easy. New page creators rarely do this. Reviewers are not obliged to make these edits but they only take a few seconds. They can use the Curation message system to let the creator know what they have done.
