Archive for April 2008EyebotHi, Misza. I've been trying to convert my antispam adminbot to use your eyebot framework, but am having a bit of trouble with it - and was wondering if you'd be willing to help me out here. Since it seems like you're like me and have been enjoying a bit of reduced activity, I wanted to know if it's OK to really start bothering you. :-) east.718 at 02:26, April 1, 2008

BiurokrataHej Misza, czy nie zastanawiałeś się nad kandydaturą na biurokratę na EN-Wiki? Niedługo będzie masa roboty w zw. z wprowadzeniem SUL-u, na polskiej wiki głosowań na biurokratę się mnoży, a na en nie mamy niestety polskiego biurokraty:( Zawsze to jakiś prestiż. Pytałem się Piotrusa o to samo co ciebie, ale nie chciał. Ja za to formalnych wymogów na admina nie spełniam:) Alden or talk with Alden 22:47, 3 April 2008 (UTC) Codesnippets
Hey Misza. I know you've been busy lately, but Evolution has been having some serious trouble with sleeper accounts vandalizing. Would it be possible to have a bot auto-revert the vandalism and then ping in a channel (any channel will do) with a direct block link? The vandalism is always replacing large parts of the text with Genesis -- pretty easy to spot. Cheers. --MZMcBride (talk) 00:24, 6 April 2008 (UTC) MiszaBotHi, the bot used to be archiving at Wikipedia:Wikiquette alerts, but it doesn't seem to have done anything since March 24, and there are many threads on the page older than the 14 day cutoff. Any suggestions how we can "goose" the bot to start up again? --Elonka 09:47, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Activation of MiszaBot III?Do I need to request or sign up to have MiszaBot III archive my user talk page? I had placed {{User:MiszaBot/config}} (with proper parameters, I thought) on the page about a little more than a week ago and thought from the instructions that that was all that was needed. Any info appreciated. — Bellhalla (talk) 15:36, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
Counter update bug?Miszabot is archiving Talk:Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed. Archive 2 reached its limit a few days ago, but Miszabot hasn't incremented the counter to Archive 3. As a result, each day it adds one thread to #2, checks and finds the size is too big, and adds the rest to #3. I could fix the problem by changing the counter manually, but that wouldn't fix the bug.
Hi!A few things,
Thanks, CWii(Talk|Contribs) 19:47, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
Quickie QuestionIf Misza goes to archive a page and it has a blacklisted link in it, will Misza be unable to archive the page? Trying to figure out if a blacklisted link is why the bot hasn't archived Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Films in awhile. Did a manual archive, removing the link, to try to fix, but curious to see if that was indeed the issue. Collectonian (talk) 17:43, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
Archiving problemHi, something odd is happening with the archiving of Wikipedia:No_original_research/noticeboard. I found an Archive 1 had been created, but with no content, then the bot created an Archive 4 with what should have been in 1. Would you mind taking a look? SlimVirgin talk|edits 04:12, 13 April 2008 (UTC) ZabezpieczenieHej mógłbyś zabezpieczyć Armia Krajowa z powodu wojny edycyjnej Proszę akurat Ciebie a nie Piotrusa o zabezpieczenie tego artykułu ponieważ też jesteś Polakiem, a po drugie Piotrus jest stroną zaangażowaną w spór w tym artykule, a Ty jesteś osobą bezstronną. Jeśli możesz odpisz na mojej dyskusji. Rodzaj zabezpieczenia: edycja tylko dla adminów. Alden or talk with Alden 08:03, 13 April 2008 (UTC) doesn't archive auto-signed commentsOn my talk page (link in sig), there's a post that wasn't originally signed, that was automatically signed by a bot right after, that's not being archived. I think it's a bug in the archiving bot. Is it known already? I see that you're rewriting the bot. ETA on that? Could you make sure the rewritten bot doesn't have this bug? If it'll be long before you release the rewritten bot, could you put a fix in the current one? — Mini-Geek (talk) 11:27, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
Bot IIIYour bot ws excellent in doing an archive of my talk page, but nothing since, despite threads passign the archive by date. I presume this is my fault, but could you advise? Thanks. MikeHobday (talk) 11:24, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
LesTout.com ImageLesTout.com was recently unprotected from salted location. Image:LesTout-favicon.png and Image:lestout-2008-screenshot.png is being deleted during the time article was unprotected. Can I request you to bring both the images back or should I upload both the image once more. Thanks.--Shivaji Mitra (talk) 05:40, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
Redirects and speedy deletionOne such discussion started at Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion#CSD G6 clause "cleaning up redirects". I've also proposed that anyone who wants to expand the current criteria for speedy deletion of redirects do so over there. For you specifically, though, what can be done about the code you publish conflicting with Wikipedia standards? What is to stop other admins running the code and "cleaning up redirects" without realising that there are objections? This is why admin bots need open discussion. Carcharoth (talk) 10:31, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
I looked it over a bunch of times, honest!I hate that I didn't figure this out myself, but why is the bot not archiving at Talk:Divine_Light_Mission? please/thank-you. -- Maelefique (talk) 05:48, 16 April 2008 (UTC) Ugh... I knew it was gonna be something simple! Thanks for that. Is that mentioned in the archiving setup page? Might save you a bunch of msgs if you added a sentence about topics with spaces, unless of course, it's already in there! Thanks again. -- Maelefique (talk) 15:04, 16 April 2008 (UTC) Signpost updated for April 7th and 14th, 2008.Sorry, it seems that the bot quit before completing its run last week.

Ralbot (talk) 08:44, 17 April 2008 (UTC) Armia Krajowa pp-protectI'm curious who requested for you to apply pp-protect to this page?--mrg3105 (comms) ♠♥♦♣ 13:57, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
Misza, I would like to point out that when a single user is adding unreferenced claims and revert warring - breaking 3RR! - over them (Talk:Armia_Krajowa#Soviet_partisans_largest.3F), the best solution may not be to protect the article (keeping the version with an unreferenced dubious claim) but to deal with the (single) user who violated 3RR ([3], [4], [5], [6]). PS. For the record, I am not requesting a block - Mrg3105 is an otherwise good editor, that he went too far here should not prevent him from contributing to talk or other pages. But protection is not needed, just a reminded that he should watch the 3RR.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 15:12, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
Misza, for the record, as the article will be unprotected soon. I've tried to deal with that editor. He has not provided any sources, he at best quotes other wikipedians or some unverifiable emails, and he keeps on offending the other contributors. I expect that with such attitude, we will see the edit war resuming soon.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 05:09, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
Image:Chalogo1.pngHi Misza. Last year you deleted Image:Chalogo1.png as lacking fair use information. Could I ask you to undelete this image so that I can add the fair use information? Thanks in advance. Powers T 17:51, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
Regarding my commentIt seems to me that mediation is always a better solution then just putting the discussion off for a few days. This is not the case of a dispute though, but points made by myself relevant to the facts, or claims, and layout as well as language use in the article. Its not something that was likely to change after a few days, or weeks, etc. The English rendering of Misza made me think you were from Poland, and somewhat suspicious of motives. Nationality however really has no bearing on the discussion here, other then the fact that many sources used are in Polish, and therefore really need to be quoted and translated, at least in talk, if requested. What I really didn't appreciate is the use of your admin privileges without any discussion in talk.--mrg3105 (comms) ♠♥♦♣ 23:12, 17 April 2008 (UTC) ApologiesSorry for insulting your Bot. I'm sure it was very good, it's just that I couldn't get it to work. Best wishes, --Major Bonkers (talk) 13:53, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
On helping Artsojourner with archivingMany many thanks. Artsojourner (talk) 02:53, 19 April 2008 (UTC) viewSourceI have attempted to install viewSource, but it has changed nothing. I have logged out and then in. I have closed my browser (Firefox, v. 2.0.0.14). Nothing gets it to work. What should I do? --SMP0328. (talk) 01:38, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
MiszaBot I and talk page archivesCould you change MiszaBot I so that it follows WP:ARCHIVE a bit more closely, please? The {{talkarchive}} tag should be at the top and bottom of an archive page, and an {{archive-nav}} tag with the appropriate archive number should be included on the archive page as well. Also, the talk page's {{archive box}} should be updated when a new archive is added. I just had to manually fix those things elsewhere, so it would be nice if they were included in the bot. Thanks. -- HiEv 17:46, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
Archiving questionHi, your bot has been archiving my talk page. In its latest run, it put "ARCHIVE FULL" in the edit summary. Will it automatically change the parameter to start the new archive page, or do I manually need to set it? Thanks, Aleta Sing 13:17, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
Archiving bot parameter limitsMisza, first thanks for all the work of your bots. They really are a big help. There is a concern at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Fake_New_Messages about User talk:Jeanenawhitney setting the archive bot to archive at 1 hour. Some people are concerned but just an FYI of how it could be misused, so just something to think about. Thanks! -- Ricky81682 (talk) 21:20, 20 April 2008 (UTC) WP:PW NewsletterThe latest issue is ready for delivery here. Thanks! ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 00:11, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
I'm sure you noticed the problem right? iMatthew 2008 16:25, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
Archiving of my Talk PageHi Misza13 ;). A couple of days ago, I added the config template to my talk page. I've clearly done something stupid, or am misunderstanding the config template, but I expected the top thread on my talk page to be archived today (being older than 30 days), but MiszaBot II has passed the I's now... if you've got a mo, could you glance over it for me, and tell me what I've done wrong? Thanks! TalkIslander 14:10, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
ThanksI saw your name on my watchlist and remembered you as the user who welcomed me to Wikipedia back in July. I just want to say thanks for welcoming be back then and helping me become the user that I am today. STORMTRACKER 94 Go Irish! 19:31, 22 April 2008 (UTC) Bot broke it againThe bot took out the resolved link again, see [7]. Can you fix the bot so it won't do this? — Rlevse • Talk • 10:17, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
German username blockI think I just blocked a related one. could you chime in here: [8] if you know what's going on, and review my block of the other account? --barneca (talk) 13:13, 25 April 2008 (UTC) Oddities archiving Talk:Expelled: No Intelligence AllowedHi. MiszaBot I has been creating large numbers of almost-empty archives on Talk:Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed recently. The page is insanely voluminous which had caused the bot problems in the past. Additionally, checking the page history, I found that this change was recently made to its settings. If you could let me know what settings to set up for maximisedly-bulletproof operation of the bot for a high volume talkpage, I would appreciate it. Thanks. HrafnTalkStalk 15:33, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Image deletion
I checked the deletion log and noticed you deleted a picture I uploaded here because it had no copyright status.Within deleting it,you do realize I have no idea how to copyright.Owlwinds (talk) 20:27, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
- What image? Please don't make me guess. Also please post messages properly instead of breaking the layout of my page. Миша13 21:35, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
Deletion of sock usertalk page
A long while back you deleted this page. This is a sock and there was evidence on the page. Is there a reason the page was deleted other than that it (apparently incorrectly) showed up in CAT:TEMP? If not, can we undelete it? The user has showed back up and made further edits. I'd prefer to restore, blank, tag, and possibly lock the page. But you deleted so better to ask you first in case you know something I don't. ;-) --Doug.(talk • contribs) 02:02, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
- Hearing nothing, I deleted the new page which had only nonsense on it and redirected it to the userpage.--Doug.(talk • contribs) 17:13, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
Found another one here; same puppeteer.--Doug.(talk • contribs) 02:54, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
Miszabot does not seem to be working on the talk page of this article. Can you help? --Filll (talk) 13:45, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
- It's now archiving inactive sections all right, but it isn't cutting them from the Talk page, or updating the counter. Of course, the poor bot may simply be choking on the sheer size of the thing.
- —WWoods (talk) 15:50, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
- Nope. Oddly enough, the bot receives edit conflicts on archive pages (because they were deleted - the framework thinks it was *just* deleted). Миша13 17:13, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
Question
I can't seem to make the archivebot.py working right. Can you give me an example syntax? Not the archivebot.py [OPTION] [LINK(S)] but the real syntax that one will use to make the bot archive something. I plan to use is at tl wiki. -- Felipe Aira 04:23, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
- That is the real syntax. Anyway, the simplest would be:
python archivebot.py "User:MiszaBot/config"
- where User:MiszaBot/config is the template used for configuration. All others are just bells and whistles (like, running only on a specified page, in a specified namespace, etc). Миша13 17:16, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
