If I wrote it and took it through the printing process, it does not have a copyright because I never got one for it as the person who commissioned it and wrote it and I want to share it without having it deleted by you or someone like you... What should I do.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Dayton Thanks, Kate Kate@morainecountryclub.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by UR SUCH A TEASE (talk • contribs) 20:12, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
Your BotIII seems to have stopped editing my [main account's] user talk page. Is there any reason for this?--Porcupine (see my userpage for details) 12:55, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
It's still not working; what could be the cause of this?--Porcupine (see my userpage for details) 08:04, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
Great - thanks very much.--Porcupine (see my userpage for details) 13:11, 2 November 2007 (UTC) MedCabBotFor some reason, Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2007-10-31 WikiProject Highways will not show up on the cases list. --Rschen7754 (T C) 01:09, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
AnswersDo you agree that the following three factors: 1) your addiction, 2) giving you the tools back, 3) anon page creation, add up to one deceased (from dehydration) Gurch after 200 straight hours of newpages/CSD patrol?

Your bot and Peer reviewHello Misza. At the Wikipedia:Content review/workshop people have been discussing for nearly a month ways to increase reviewer participation at Wikipedia:Peer review. One thought was to introduce categories on PR to make it more browsable but it was then pointed out that this greatly increases archiving work, which is done manually. And then I noticed your bot came along and archived threads older than 10 days on the workshop talk page. That seemed to be serendipity! Could the bot archive PR? In this case it would be reviews older than 30 days or those that have received no comments in 14. A thread where you might comment is here. Cheers, Marskell 09:31, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
Misza :)So, how are you? Yes, I know, Ariel is here, she must want something. You're right, lol. But I hope it is not such a very big thing! Due to changes in the old topaz status changer I was using for so very long, (and how dang complicated it was! I didn't initially install it, so I had no clue how to fix the spam on every page I'd get after it broke) I switched to yours 100% a couple of weeks ago (and yours rocks, by the way, :o) ). Now, I'm sure it is possible, and as you can see I tried to get the switcher to put in a custom edit summary, but it didn't really work out the way I wanted, lol. I managed to get it to change from "busy" to "Ariel is busy for a bit", but it didn't seem to like the spaces... History of my monobook, but basically I just tried to replace the existing "out" with Sleeping, etc., without success (I did at one point, manage to change the links at the top of my page that I use to set the status, that was interesting, hee hee). Anyway, if you happen to have a little time in the coming week, and could help me figure out what I'm doing wrong (you know I'm clueless with the coding stuff, lol), I'd like to have the edit summaries say "Ariel is online now" (in), "Ariel is busy for a bit" (busy), and "Ariel is off to sleep, Good night!" (out). And if it isn't possible, then that's okay too, I just figured that your "leet" coding skills could figure a way to fix it. (And if you just don't want to, that's okay as well, feel free to say no, lol) Ariel♥Gold 19:05, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Miszabot user talk page archivingHi. I've noticed that your bot seems to have stopped archiving my talk page about a month ago. I have checked all the settings and they seem to be correct. And so I would be very grateful if you could take a look at User talk:Tbo 157. Thanks. Tbo 157(talk) 23:03, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
Misza, this week's notice is ready to be delivered. I know you are busy, so thank you so much for doing this for us! Just as an FYI, we are about to replace this tempalte for a new weekly project-wide newsletter that includes our COTW. When it is time for the change, we will definitely let you know. If you are at all interested, the new tempalte is currently being worked on here before we move it into the project's mainspace. Take care and thanks again. --Naha|(talk) 04:35, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
Indexing talk pages: is it possible?Hi from the Opera Project! SatyrTN suggeted that I might ask your advice. At the moment I'm trying to make our 43 archives more accessible. I've been wondering if there is a way of indexing them based on the TOCs. Is this possible? Best regards. -- Kleinzach 11:28, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

I was wondering if you could help me a bit :) I know that you are a good programmer, and figured you'd be the person to ask my question to. I'm creating a bot that archives threads on ANI that are marked with the {{resolved}} template. I have the source code below, written in Python with the Pywikipedia framework, and any tips or fixes would be appreciated. Thanks! ( arky ) 02:39, 5 November 2007 (UTC) ANIbot.py

Lil Armstrong photo deletionSome time ago, I uploaded a photo of Lil Armstrong, but did not know how to actually post it. Now I think I have the procedure down, but--in the meantime--you have deleted my upload. I gather that you are worried about copyright, so let me explain that this is an old publicity photo that Lil paid for herself. In 1961, when I produced an album of her band and we started working on her biography, she gave me the print in question. There is no copyright, nobody knows who the photographer was, and I don't see that there is anything to worry about. I notice that publicity photos are often used with Wikipedia listings--Bessie Smith, for example (and I have clearer prints of that). Please tell me what I can do to get Lil's picture in there. I have some that I myself took of her, but they do not do her justice. I should add that I have often used photos in my books where the photographer/studio was unknown or out of business and untraceable. There has never been a problem with such pictures.

User Page codesHey Misza13, the other day I saw some code on another editors userpage that listed the user's online status. (it was some code you wrote) I've added it to my userpage, and i love it. Great work!!! Now, I'd like to have a "edit counter" like you have. But this code doesn't work on my userpage. What do I need to do, other that changing user names? Thanks. Keep up the great work.

ArbCom questionsHi. I'm Ral315, editor of the Wikipedia Signpost. We're interviewing all ArbCom candidates for an article next week, and your response is requested.
Please respond on my talk page. We'll probably go to press late Monday or early Tuesday (UTC), but late responses will be added as they're submitted.

Ralbot (talk) 08:23, 27 November 2007 (UTC) ArbCom table with portfolio linksHello! As we did for last year's election, we are again compiling a Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2007/Summary table. This table contains a column "Portfolio" for links that display candidates' pertinent skills. I will be going through each candidate's statements and gradually populate the column, but this may take some time. Please feel free to add some links in the form [link|c] if you feel it shows conflict resolution skills, or [link|o] otherwise. It would also be helpful if you can check if the information about you is correct. My motivation is that as a voter, I don't want to just rely on a candidate's words, but also see their actions. Moreover, I believe a portfolio of "model cases" to remember in difficult situations can be useful for each candidate, as well. I believe that conflict resolution skills are most pertinent to the position, but if you want to highlight other skills, please feel free to use a new letter and add it to Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2007/Summary table#Columns of this table. — Sebastian 05:35, 28 November 2007 (UTC) (I stopped watching this page.
