Hi, X!. Just a friendly reminder to check out User:SoxBot III/Requests if you have not done so already, because there's something there that I wanted you to look at, and you haven't replied in a couple weeks. I wanted to make sure that you got my request, and if possible, made the necessary changes to SoxBot's config pages. There's no rush, but I was worried that you hadn't noticed it. Thanks!

ACC

 – Smallman12q (talk) 00:58, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

I get a "Inactive for 45 or more days. Please contact a tool admin if you wish to come back." message when trying to log in to ACC.

I've also got a handy greasemonkey script that I like to put into public domain=D.

It simply refreshes the page every so often to see if anyone is there, if you have a better url to check the numbers against, please do modify it. (Let me know if the script is of any use.) Cheers!Smallman12q (talk) 17:25, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Well, automated tools to reserve requests are not allowed at ACC. We've already had to put up stuff to keep people from using automated tools. If you promise not to use it, I'd be glad to give you access again. (X! · talk)  · @145  ·  02:28, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
Yes I was aware that while automated tools to reserve requests are frowned upon, I see no such ban on tools that make you aware that someone is there. I'm sure you're familiar with basic javascript, and as such you can see this script does nothing more than to alert when there is an unfufilled request. It does not however reserve that request. Let me know if its is still not allowed(a rationale would also be appreciated).Smallman12q (talk) 14:40, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
It's been a few days...could you respond when you get a chance.Smallman12q (talk) 15:36, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
It doesn't matter whether or not it reserves it for you. Using a tool that automatically tells you when there's a request is still not allowed. For one, ACC is not a race. Second, ACC is not status quo. No matter how many or how little you do, it doesn't give you any more social rights. Therefore, it's not necessary to race to reserve a request. If you get it first, good for you. If someone else does, oh well. You can get the next one. The admins have discussed this plenty of times, and every time, we agree that it's not ok to use a tool like this. (X! · talk)  · @726  ·  16:26, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

I am certainly confused. While ACC is not a race, I don't see whats wrong in providing a speedy response? If quality suffers...then thats a different story, but for people editing wikipedia and willing to contribute to ACC at the same time, I see this as the solution. All this script does is save a person the hassle of refreshing a page constantly. I don't see the logic behind banning such a tool. Can I get a link to those discussions?Smallman12q (talk) 01:32, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

I'd appreciate a response.Smallman12q (talk) 13:54, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
It's been decided off wiki, on IRC and on the mailing list. If you want more reasoning, ask someone like Prodego. He knows more about this situation than I do. (X! · talk)  · @643  ·  14:25, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
Notify scripts are fine, as long as they do not automatically reserve requests. You would be better off watching the IRC feed though. Prodego talk 04:47, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
I can assure you that this script only notifies, and does not reserve. As such, can I get my ACC access back?Smallman12q (talk) 12:52, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
Hmm, I seem to recall that Atyndall made a script that would reload the page over and over again, and we decided that it wasn't allowed. Either way, I've given you access. (X! · talk)  · @893  ·  20:25, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
Thanks! Can I place a link to this script on the ACC page?Smallman12q (talk) 00:58, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

ACCbot security fix

Hi

the security fix you made to accbot failed because functions.php is not included in accbot.php.

I've copied the function from functions.php into accbot.php, as there are conflicting functions that I cba to fix at the moment. it might be a good idea to create a new functions file, bot-functions.php, which contains functions shared between both bot and tool (such as encryptMessage() ).

I've not committed this to SVN, I thought I'd leave the final tweaking to you :P

Stwalkerstertalk ] 09:53, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

I committed a fix, I think. If I didn't, a simple include( "functions.php" ); is all that's needed. (X! · talk)  · @727  ·  16:27, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Admin Coaching

Hello, I had previously asked User:KrakatoaKatie, but they seem to be inactive. Would you be interested in Admin Coaching me? I realize the account is new, but I've been around for a while as an IP. I was thinking of going for RfA after being around for about 6 months or so, but I'd like to do Admin Coaching first. So, please let me know. Irbisgreif (talk) 07:10, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

I see that you've only been around for less than 2 months using this account. As there's no way to verify that you own the IP, we can only judge your IP contributions. I would wait a couple months and ask again, as I'd be more willing to take you on. Don't get discouraged, though. Keep editing to your heart's desire, and I'll surely say yes next time around. (X! · talk)  · @731  ·  16:32, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
Okay. My request will remain open, and I will contact you again in about 3 months. Irbisgreif (talk) 01:49, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Removal of uncategorized template

SoxBot recently removed an uncategorized template from Jack Lawrence (bassist)[1]. However, the article (at the time) only contained hidden categories. This isn't a problem for this article as I'm in the process of adding some categories anyway, but it may be a problem elsewhere? --JD554 (talk) 11:56, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Noticed this before, but never reported it: The Top Namespace Edits tool has an overeagerness of encoding slashes. E.g. http://toolserver.org/~soxred93/topedits/index.php?name=Amalthea2&namespace=2 lists User:Amalthea2/test, but links http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Amalthea2%2Ftest.

Huggle on the Mac

Hello X!! I'm Airplaneman. Nice to meet you. I have a question regarding HG on the Mac, and since I saw you on the list of successful users, I thought I'd ask you. I am considering installing Huggle and am downloading darwine right now, but I am a bit confused about instruction number four. What exactly do you do in the terminal? Do you have to input the commands line by line? Do you have to number them? As you can probably tell, I'm not a programmer :(. Any clarification would be appreciated. Thank you. Regards, Airplaneman talk 00:41, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Sorry for the bother. I've figured it out :). I can't wait till the commands finish up! Thanks, Airplaneman talk 01:10, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Hello. I've removed it because it is too choppy. Also, now suspiciously Time Machine isn't working... How do you make sure you've removed all the files you installed? Thanks, Airplaneman talk 02:05, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Orion 17

How does 1 delete, and 6 merge/redirects since it was relisted become no consensus? Surely a redirect is in order, especially once one reads the discussion? Nfitz (talk) 07:15, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Please assume good faith, as I was closing it in what I thought was the most fair way. I've since reconsidered, after talking with Kusma above. (X! · talk)  · @897  ·  20:32, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
  • If you've reconsidered, shouldn't you change the close? Or should I take it to DRV noting that the closing admin has reconsidered. Nfitz (talk) 07:45, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
    • It would not be worth it to change the AfD at this point, but I would be perfectly fine with you redirecting / DRVing it. (X! · talk)  · @879  ·  20:06, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
      • Surely fixing the AfD is appropriate, and would reduce the chance of a WikiDrama if someone does redirect the page. Nfitz (talk) 20:59, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
  • I'm patiently waiting for you to respond, rather than be rude and go to DRV ... and instead you ignore this, and archive it! You messed up the AfD. I contact you straight away after you closed it. You admitted you messed it up. You need to fix it!! Nfitz (talk) 06:50, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
    • I've reclosed the AfD as redirect. Sorry it took so long. I will admit that that was one of my biggest recent "fuckups" here, and I sincerely apologize for the negative interaction we had. I generally don't like to change AfD closures once it's done, but in this case, I think it was something that I should have done a long time ago. I hope that we have more positive experiences in the future, Nfitz. (X! · talk)  · @348  ·  07:21, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
  • Thanks. I have no reason to think future interactions wouldn't be positive! Nfitz (talk) 03:49, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Admin coaching

Hey X! This is the third month I've been editing Wikipedia and I'm hoping to become an administrator someday. I think admin coaching will help me to get there and you look like a good admin coach. Would you consider coaching me? Pikiwyn talk 16:40, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

I would, but since I'm on wikibreak, it would be a better idea to ask someone else. Sorry, (X! · talk)  · @868  ·  19:49, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

SoxBot on test templates

The sandbox is apparently cleared every few hours. Can SoxBox give a similar leeway for the test templates (X1-X9)? I'm trying to test something 3-4 levels deep, and I'm getting reverted by the bot within 3 minutes, before I can finish setting up the scenario properly. 81.110.104.91 (talk) 00:32, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

You can create test templates in your current IP Address's space, such as User:81.110.104.91/X1, which would be invoked as {{User:81.110.104.91/X1}} rather than {{X1}}. In case you can't create them because you're not logged in, I have created nine of them for you.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 00:59, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

WP:CHU

I think using these images [2] causes confusion. On a quick scan down the page, it's now hard to distinguish the bot comments from crats tagging requests as "done" or "not done". I'd prefer it if the bot avoided using red crosses or green ticks. WJBscribe (talk) 12:24, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Range contributions tool

Is it possible to limit the number of results returned by this tool? I could not see any obvious way of doing this and usually when I put in a CIDR range the tool is still retrieving more results at the point I shut it down. Thanks, SpinningSpark 22:26, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

I'll add a limit field. (X! · talk)  · @869  ·  19:50, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Yet another question on the range contributions tool

Let me add here my own question, and a testimonial. Notice this mention of your rangecontribs tool at WP:ANI. In my opinion this is now beating the CIDR gadget for usefulness. (With the gadget, you need to wade through a bunch of very old edits from people who may no longer be active, since it sorts first by IP and only then by date). But when I use your new tool, I see that it may not pay attention to the last octet when looking for narrower ranges. For instance, if I want to look at the range of 32 addresses from 66.4.233.128 up through 66.4.233.159 I can try viewing this request but I think it is giving the same display as for 66.4.233.0, i.e. it's ignoring whatever is in the last octet of the request. Thanks for your work on this, EdJohnston (talk) 17:54, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

You found a bug. :) I'll go have a look at that. (X! · talk)  · @865  ·  19:46, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Question about research

I wanted to ask a question about some research I want to do. I want to search approximately 20 different terms in google and find out where the Wikipedia page for each term ranks compared to other online resources. Specifically, I would be looking at terms for dermatologic conditions. So, for example, with the following search [3] on my results screen Wikipedia is the first entry, followed by medscape. Can I use google trends/"Google Insights for Search" to accomplish this? Or is there some other way I can compare google results? ---kilbad (talk) 21:07, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Admin coaching

Hi. I see that you are an active admin coach and have no current students, so I was wondering if you'd like to take me on as a student. I've had an RFA which I realise was probably too early, and I've had a few clashes (none too serious) with other editors since then, so I really need some help to get back on the path to becoming an admin in the future.

Confirmed Users

X!,

While using your edit count tool (Soxred93) I came across 'Is X an Admin' and found it very useful. While scanning over the options I found one that I had never heard of before, 'confirmed users'. Is this related to autoconfirmed users?

Thanks very much.

DAFMM (talk), 2nd September 2009.

Yes. Confirmed users are users who have the same privileges as autoconfirmed users, but they have been given it by an admin. This is for users who want to upload an image or something, but they don't want to wait 4 days and 10 edits. (X! · talk)  · @019  ·  23:27, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

I updated the message to include both last week's and this week's, so for people who didn't get the previous one that double message could be used. For those who did get the last one, you can cut out the first half of the message. I hope that makes sense. Let me know if you have questions or comments.--ragesoss (talk) 00:06, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Admin Coaching

Hello, I found your name on the admin coaches page. I believe I asked you about a year ago, but you had no spots left available. I was previously coached by User:Useight, but I took a wikibreak for a period of time and could not finish. Please let me know if you have any spots available. Cheers.--LAAFansign review 01:53, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

I would, but it would be a better idea to ask someone else, as I'm on wikibreak. Sorry, (X! · talk)  · @870  ·  19:52, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Setting soxbot clear time on WP:Introduction

Hey. I was wondering if its possible to set the time between clearings differently on individual sandboxes? Would it be possible to say, set the clear time on WP:Introduction to 10 seconds after any edit changes it? - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ τ ¢ 09:50, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Adminstats

My adminstats haven't been updated for some time. Is SoxBot still responsible for this? —  Tivedshambo  (t/c) 19:08, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

SoxBot

Please do not use the behaviour of reverting all revisions by a single user in conjunction with a bot, unless you are certain that each one of those revisions is unconstructive. Furthermore, please do not make the automatic assumption that any revisions adding formatting syntax from the edit toolbar are unconstructive. If a contributor has scrolled the edit window such that the cursor is not visible, then inadvertently clicks a button on the formatting toolbar whilst trying to select text at the top of the edit window, no visual indication is provided to them that the button has been clicked, and the formatting is inserted at the (now hidden) cursor. Unless the user happens to scroll back down or click "Show changes", they will remain unaware of this insertion. I know this because I have done it many times myself, seen others do it many times, and requested a change to the site stylesheet to try to mitigate it. Such insertions are easy to find and remove by search, do not interfere with the content and are in general harmless.

Here is an example of what I'm talking about. In this case, a contributor made forty-two constructive edits, none of which were intentionally unconstructive (they were partly a copyright violation, but your bot had no knowledge of that), and on the last one, accidentally hit a toolbar button. Your bot promptly undid three hours of their work, and, it would seem, its terse warning message put them off contributing further. Please do not do this again. Gurch (talk) 19:10, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

I'm going to have it use the API's new undo function instead. Thanks, (X! · talk)  · @870  ·  19:53, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedians that are teh shit

"Yes it is. EVula is always right, and he agrees with that statement. Therefore, it is right." Come on X! You can't be serious, he can't possibly agree to that! Isn't "teh shit" is swearing and hence a bad thing? What is wikipedia coming to? :) What would his royal highness, the great Jimbo Wales think? :D I'm not convinced, really I'm not! :) Also, what is "teh shit"? Anyway, see you round.   Set Sail For The Seven Seas  316° 47' 29" NET   21:07, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Lighten up, it's a joke. EVula told me personally that he is fine with it, and so I reverted it hoping you'd get the joke. WP:EVULA is a humor page, and as you can tell by the content, it's supposed to be a joke. Besides, swearing is not inheritantly bad here. Sure, it's bad to call someone else a swear, but when using it as a joke, it's fine. Additionally, wikt:the shit is actually a fairly common phrase that means "awesome" (don't know why). (X! · talk)  · @972  ·  22:20, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
You're taking my comments too seriously! That was only meant to be a comedy comment! All part of the fun! Nothing serious! If that is indeed the case, it can stay. I was definitely not being serious with my first comment; but it may have been badly carried out. Oh, and thanks for the explanation.   Set Sail For The Seven Seas  163° 6' 30" NET   10:52, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
By the way, I definitely wouldn't say that if I was being serious. :)  Set Sail For The Seven Seas  213° 21' 14" NET   14:13, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Signpost delivery

I think the new issue of the signpost is ready for delivery. Ragesoss left a message here for it to be published, so I've done that. I've updated the message at Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Subscribe/Message, at least I think I have. I leave it up to you whether to deliver or to clarify with Ragesoss, I don't see any harm in either, so defer to your more knowledgeable opinion. Hiding T 23:02, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Soxbot problem

It seems that your bot is leaving warnings to vandals but not actually reverting the pages that they edited. See my revert [4] and the warning your bot left [5]. The bot's recent contribs also show only warnings but no reverts [6]. Just making sure that the bot is working properly. Thanks! --Tgv8925 (talk) 08:11, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

About your tool

Hi, Soxred. Thanks for your useful tools on toolserver. Recently some zh-wikipedians found this tool very useful in some tasks, but unfortunately most of your tools only support enwiki.

Crown Fountain FAC 4

At Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Crown Fountain/archive4‎, we have been asked to clip an .ogg file from 50 to approximately 10 seconds. I do not know anything about .ogg files and am unsure if my co-author knows how to edit them either. Are you willing and able to edit such a file type? Leave a comment at the FAC if you will be able to help.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 13:44, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

I see you are on wikibreak, but I also notice you are the author of one of the two video WP:FSs. Looking at the file history of your FS, it seems you know video editing. No one else has been able to help and we may have to remove the video from our WP:FAC until we can get it edited. If you pass by WP, drop a note on my page with any suggestions, insight or help that you may be able to lend.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 04:26, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Editcounter API

Could you make an API for your toolserver editcounter that gives all the data that your standard editcounter gives in an XML/JSON form?--Ipatrol (talk) 16:44, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

I'll add it to my extremely long to-do list. At the top, that is. ;) (X! · talk)  · @794  ·  18:03, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Finished translation for Hindi

Hindi translation [and transliteration], except that long message saying the server is down is done, and waiting at User:Rsrikanth05/Soxred Hindi. It's posted as a comment. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 17:33, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Welcome Back!!

SoxBot and the RfA/RfB table

Your bot made a slightly odd edit here.--Rockfang (talk) 06:36, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

I mentioned it to the closing crat. I think the bot is looking for the word "end" as in "scheduled to end". When Avi removed it the bot got confused. Your manual update was probably fine and I have updated it further to show the pending comment from the closing crat. Thanks  7  07:11, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

That's exactly what it's supposed to do. It looks like it's performing fine. • Anakin 03:28, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

Editcounter translation

Hello Mister X!

I am glad to see you are back. Would you please be so kind to add the Dutch translation to the editcounter?

Many thanks in advance,
