Hey, your bot added an image of some Tyrannulet to the article on the Cocos Flycatcher. [1] Sabine's Sunbird talk 02:38, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
- that image is from hu:Capsiempis flaveola which is the hu copy of the same article. also Im not a bot. ☺ βcommand 02:43, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
- Oh, fair enough, my bad. Well looks like the Hungarians have the wrong image or the wrong name (the specie sis endemic to a tiny island, not a string of countries). Silly Hungarians. Sabine's Sunbird talk 02:50, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

UserCompare - Print
Thanks for setting me up. I'm sure it'll be a great help. One question - what is the "print" text box for? Will Beback talk 05:29, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
- Make that two questions. Does it matter which account goes into "Master" and which goes into "Socks"? And here's question three: since it has a plural "socks", can that box handle more than one name? Will Beback talk 05:37, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
- Master = main account. does not have to be the master but when you save the report for others it will be filed under this username
- Socks = a | separated list of sock accounts sock1|sock2 ect.
- key = the password that you gave me for usage of the tool
- print = put "yes" in the box to save the report for others to view tools:/~betacommand/UserCompare/ is where they are saved to under the given master's username, otherwise leave blank
- Suggestion for clean links, replace spaces with _ in usernames in the fields that way your not getting %20 when you generate the URL for others to look at. βcommand 11:03, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks very much. Will Beback talk 23:49, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Observation about AFD report
Betacommand - I posed a question to PeterSymonds about the results from a tool and he noted you developed it. An excerpt of my message follows:
I looked at AfD worst songs. Jake voted "delete" and the decision in your table says "delete", but I checked and the article is still there. I came back to the discussion, and see Julian's conclusion is "keep". So I'm puzzled about the disparity between the table summary and the apparent actual result. Similarly, for afd Consulate blah blah, the table says "keep" but the AFD page says "delete". In fact, it was redirected. I see the tool is beta, and if it just isn't quite fully tweaked, I'm fine with that, but I am puzzled to see the difference between the indicated result on the table, and reality.
Just wanted to point out that the last column of the table doesn't match up with the actual actions. Not a big deal, and maybe you already knew this, but just thought I'd point it out in case it hadn't been noticed.--SPhilbrickT 16:10, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
- Please note the last column is is labeled vote, not decision. All it is doing is indicating how the user in question voted tools:~betacommand/afd/Jake Wartenberg.html is just a listing of the values and how jake voted in the particular AfD, it does not indicate how the particular AfD's where closed. hope that makes things clearer. βcommand 19:19, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
