Deletion of Zoocheck Page
The Page "Zoocheck" was deleted this January for the stated reason of copyright infringement. There was zero content that was copyrighted. Sorry for the delayed reply to the deletion, I do not check this Wiki account often. I can assure you there is no copyright infringement on either page, I am the executive director of Zoocheck Canada.
Another page was deleted but i can't find it in the log it was "Cormorants defenders international"
How is it that there was a request for speedy deletion for copyright infringement when there was no such issue? Could these please be reinstated? Thank you for your time and help on this, I greatly appreciate it. Roblaidlaw (talk) 20:50, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
Wake up your bot
Please :-) He's taking his time at SSP. Thank you, E. ScarianCall me Pat! 18:34, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
- The bot is archiving open cases for some reason. Enigma message 05:43, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
- Scarian, it scans and archives every 5 minutes and cannot be any lower due to the amount of time it gets through the first scan, it is almost ready to scan again. Enigma, it is a closed report FYI ;) — E ↗TCB 06:48, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
- You're right about that one, but there was a real problem yesterday. I had to manually archive a ton of cases that the bot wasn't archiving. I waited a bunch of hours, but nothing. This edit was the manual archive. All those cases had been closed at least 8 hours earlier. Enigma message 14:56, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
- Was there spacing beside the transclusion? (i.e.
{{Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/XXuserXX}}<space>
)? The bot does not like the space to the right of the transclusion, so you should be sure there is no space there, which sometimes can halt the archival process. — E ↗TCB 23:28, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Bug in HBC Helperbot
class=mw-redirect. MaxSem(Han shot first!) 06:39, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
- It appears that it's not just your instance that's affected: [2] Titoxd(?!? - cool stuff) 06:43, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
- I'll notify the project coordinator, Krellis, by both talk page and mailing list who should be able to look into this. — E ↗TCB 06:59, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
- I'm not sure, but my bot just made an edit without the error, so it may just be related to the AIV page... I've notified the team otherwise. — E ↗TCB 07:06, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
- This alteration I made should fix it, but I am not in a position to test it: [3]. Chillum 15:40, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
- If the above was implemented, it didn't work ;o) ➨ REDVERS is so happy in malice 19:42, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
- I have made a change to the page that contains a copy of the source code. I have not gotten a response yet from any of the bot operators. I don't think it has been implemented yet. Chillum 20:35, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
- I have sent a message to the bot maintainers mailing list, which I am a member of. Krellis is a very smart fellow well suited for testing this minor modification. Chillum 20:46, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Additional error in HBC AIV helperbot5
I've been seeing diffs like this for a couple hours, though I'm not sure how long it's been going on. Any idea what might be causing it? GlassCobra 02:59, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
WP:SSP
Re this - you're right, but where was it this morning? The sub-page was marked for archive 5 hours before I manually archived it. SSP is generally crowded enough at the best of times, although it does seem to be better recently, so I figured the best thing to do was to manually archive it...since the bot was still in bed, and all...! ;-) GbT/c 20:48, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Time for another barnstar, I think
The da Vinci Barnstar | ||
As someone who has virtually no programming skills of my own, I respect you guys who think up these useful bots to do some of the tedious work. I keep seeing your bots running around being helpful, so I thought you needed a barnstar.--Kubigula (talk) 04:13, 11 August 2008 (UTC) |

Haq Movement
Hi James, I saw in the history of this page, that you had semi-pp'd it awhile back. I was wondering you would do that again, and/or block the anons who have been removing the same sourced content with absolutely no discussion or discernable reason. Thanks a bunch. Carl.bunderson (talk) 20:14, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
- Hi Carl. I've Semi-protected the page again indefinitely, lets try and get some consensus out of them! — E ↗TCB 03:53, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
