Commons:User:Upload Bot (Rich Smith)

Is there any chance in the future of getting Commons:User:Upload Bot (Rich Smith) running again? It seems the Copy to Commons template was changed from a currently working toolserver bot to your non-working WMFlabs bot. Any information that you could give me would be great. Note, I opened a request to change the template back (Template talk:Copy to Wikimedia Commons, and was told to ask you about the bot. -- ТимофейЛееСуда. 20:11, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

What's wrong with ClueBot NG?

Could you explain the reasoning behind the bot's behaviour? Doesn't it read comments or talk pages? Does it just revert things without thinking? When does it answer comments to "false positives"? Rump Bass (talk) 11:50, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

Wikilinking

Hi, and thanks for your work on the English Wikipedia. Just a short note to point out that we don’t normally link:

  • dates
  • years
  • commonly known geographical terms (including well-known country-names), and
  • common terms you’d look up in a dictionary (unless significantly technical).

This even applies for infoboxes, too.

Thanks and my best wishes.
