This bot is adding the inactive template to projects which already have it, simply because they are still categorised in Category:WikiProjects, due to a prior consensus that they should be dual categorised so as to make them more readily viewable. Whether that consensus is correct or not is another matter, but there it is. Hiding talk 16:29, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
I've started going through the list of admins to see if the active/inactive can be updated and wound up noticing instead who is and who is not using edit summaries (cause it sort of sticks out). Just to let you know, you're use of summaries is practically not there (though you are commenting on User pages a lot where it feels less necessary). Anyhow, just a thought on contributions.

What is wrong with the link I added? Sandbot has removed it. CiaPan 07:25, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
Hi, I'm not around much these days, so can't follow up on that bot. However I'd like another simple bot which will substitute my template signatures. ie. it will hunt down [[User:Nichalp|<font color="#0082B8">=Nichalp</font>]] [[User talk:Nichalp|<font color="#0082B8">«Talk»=</font>]] and convert it to {{subst:user:Nichalp/sg}} . I've seen a bot already do this. =Nichalp «Talk»= 06:41, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
Hi, I was wondering how possible is a "revert bot" which I can use to revert entier contribution of a user or anon. Usefull against vandal bots which take too much time to revert. --Cool Cat Talk 21:53, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

AllyUnion, I'm not trying to rush you or anything, but would you mind providing an approximate timetable of when the NotificationBot is going to be back up? (i.e. one day, one week, one month...) Thanks a lot. Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk | WS 02:18, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
Hi AllyUnion. Please can you stop adding more articles to the list on the AfD. Why not just say "all articles about individual cricket matches"? As it is, the page is going to become unnecessarily massive. If you want a comprehensive list, could you not place it there, where it is causing ridiculous numbers of changes to my watchlist. Much obliged! [[Sam Korn]] 15:30, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
On the same topic, can I ask why in the world you felt the need to renominate these articles, when this has been discussed before? Even if the topic is worth discussing again, at least do it properly, not stating that all the articles are merely short stub paragraphs, and then including in the list not only short paragraphs on minor games, but long descriptions of some of the most memorable Test Matches of recent times. JPD (talk) 16:18, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for blocking me, Robchurch. It forced the blocking of all my other bots. --AllyUnion (talk) 02:41, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for writing the bot and merging the content. There's one little problem, though - the reason why the articles were transcluded in the first place was because the content appeared on four pages, not one. As a result, the three other pages have now been turned into, effectively, a MASSIVE page with the content on 8-30 April repeated about fifty-odd times. So don't click Frizzell_County_Championship_Division_One_in_2005, since it'll just hang there forever. So I've really got two options: Reconstruct the pages from the list of subarticles under each tournament's page - or ask you kindly to revert the changes, so that I can merge in the content using subst, and then run the bot again (without the merge of 8-30 April). Your call. Sam Vimes 14:59, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
The Atlas Award For Raking the Sandbox Clean may be awarded to those who have gone above and beyond the call of duty in fishing disgusting and unwanted items from the Wikipedia sandbox. "The sandbox is not a litterbox"
Althugh its an automated bot doing the task, it most certanly isnt easy to code it. You should have been given this ages ago, but because you are doing such a fine job no one is watching the sandbox and hence perhaps not appriciating your fine work --Cool Cat Talk 23:17, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
Someone already gave me one, but thanks for another one. Actually, the python program is quite shorter than expected. --AllyUnion (talk) 23:19, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
Hello, AllyUnion. Your cricket merge bot failed to merge the individual articles into the various tournaments and various team pages, so the pages for each tournament and team are now broken. (See for example Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy in 2005). Please mend them. Thank you. Stephen Turner 15:06, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
Please set the User-Agent header for your bot to something descriptive. -- Tim Starling 02:09, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
Would it be possible for you to add to sandbot (or some other regularly-run bot) the unconditional deletion of the weather in London? Wikipedia:How to edit a page uses this title as an example of a red link but of course it keeps getting created. -- RHaworth 17:02, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
Copy the following into User:AllyUnion/monobook.js:
///////////////////////////////// // Signature fix. function sigFix () { document.getElementById("toolbar").innerHTML=document.getElementById("toolbar").innerHTML.replace('--~~' + '~~','--[[User:AllyUnion|AllyUnion]] [[User_talk:AllyUnion|(talk))]] • {{subst' + ':CURRENTYEAR}}-{{subst' + ':CURRENTMONTH}}-{{subst' + ':CURRENTDAY}} {{subst' + ':CURRENTTIME}}'); } function reformatMyPage() { sigFix(); } if (window.addEventListener) window.addEventListener("load",reformatMyPage,false); else if (window.attachEvent) window.attachEvent("onload",reformatMyPage); /////////////////////////////////
Then, after saving the page, press CTRL and F5 at the same time to reload the file. Now whenever you sign something, click the signature button at the top of the edit box, and it will automatically be pasted into the edit box. — BRIAN0918 • 2005-11-13 14:01
Because of my wikibreak I didn't notice this until reading back on my talk page history. Anyway I saw that Nekodaemon now does excellent work for {{categoryredirect}}, so thank you for implementing that! Yours, Radiant_>|< 15:10, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
What the hell is wrong with you? why did you block me again? Unless you are a total idiot (which I don't think you are) you should know that blocking my bot would block me as well, I have explained what is going on, and am in discussion with Noisy. Blocking isnt a "punishment" for when you unilaterally think someone has done something wrong, you are treating me like a vandal. You had absolutely no reason to block me again, I had not reactivated my bot, not that I wasnt within my rights to. I am really shocked at your behaviour. I really don't dont how you expect to explain this. Martin 16:24, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
Did you just block me again? OMG Martin 16:24, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
Hhhmm, on closer inspection you only blocked my bot once (well twice, but a few minutes apart), Nandesuka blocked it later, but the autoblock message when I tried to edit a page definately said it was you that blocked me, must be page caching or something. Oh well, sorry for the above, I take it all back, if you have ever been blocked you know how it feels! sorry and thanks Martin 16:53, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
I removed the block on bluebot. Martin agreed to stop it from doing 1911 changes and Noisy agreed that was his only concern. I took it to be that was your only worry about the situation. I would have contacted you first, but there was some escalation regarding self unblocking between Martin and User:Nandesuka. I felt that it was best for everyone involved if I just removed the block to calm the situation. Didn't want you to think I was being impolite :) --best, kevin ···Kzollman | Talk··· 18:12, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
The border disputes between Poland and Lithunia were one of a very small number of issues that were explicitly excluded from the Entente Treaty. (i.e. Lithuania retained the authority to have its own policy on this issue rather than having a shared policy with the other countries). Whilst these were a failure of the Entente in a technical sense (if the Baltics had a true single defence policy then they would have a single voice on this issue too) it is not the reason why they failed to retain their independence from Germany and the Soviets (which was the ultimate aim of the Entente).
The fact should be included in a longer version of the article, but in a stub it was a misleading detail. Hope that helps. Pcb21| Pete 08:42, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
Hi AllyUnion,
I have closed the above-mentioned VFD, but would like your bot to do the removing of the VFD notices and add the oldafdfull notice...It'll take ages for me to do this by hand!

I have listed a series of redirects that start with "2005 English cricket season/" here: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Cricket#Redirects_that_need_fixing. Do you want a bot to go and remove the pages linking to them, then mark them for speedy deletion? --AllyUnion (talk) 18:18, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
The WikiProject seems to be inconsistent in the naming of its dates... well, but then again, so is the rest of Wikipedia... But as a project, some kind of consistancy naming should be picked. Ian has pointed out that dates listed like South African cricket season (1888) is non-preferred... meaning that 2005 English cricket season (1-14 June) would likely be non-preferred as well. Seeing as you are picking how to name your categories in regards to a date range, shouldn't some naming consistency be address? --AllyUnion (talk) 18:18, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
Quick suggestion - when your bot closes the daily Articles_for_Deletion/Log page, could you also have it update the date at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion#How_to_list_pages_for_deletion? I'm referring to the part that says "this edit link." Thanks. | Keithlaw (talk) (contribs) 00:39, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
Please refrain from transcluding the article namespace. The article namespace is not be to used for this purpose, and it creates the illusion that the Wikipedia has more articles than it does. Furthermore, the articles you create and leave behind in the article namespace creates a virtual paper trail that is difficult to follow. --AllyUnion (talk) 08:56, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
I just ran into... Bangladesh v India 26 December 2004. This was found on List of major upsets in One Day cricket. Can you tell me how many more are there? --AllyUnion (talk) 08:57, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
Thank you so very much :) Have a bunch of grapes for your leg-work. Sam Vimes 21:47, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
Greetings! I hope you're well. Thanks for adminstering the date polls and for your updates. However, I think the current poll is far less functional than its predecessor: the prior poll provided options for users to choose from, hopefully allowing a clear consensus to form or be identified. Instead, the current poll has too many options for voters to choose from, possibly causing confusion and an ambiguous result.
Don't get me wrong, I'd like to participate, but the current poll seems very unwieldy and I wanted to inform you of my concerns. Thoughts? In any event, thanks again! E Pluribus Anthony 03:39, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
Hi, is there any chance you will have the DYK bot up and running in the forseebale future? We're getting quite a backlog of stuff that needs archiving. Thanks.--nixie 12:38, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

Hello, I'm having an editing conflict with Bluebot and its creator 1. I noticed from Wikipedia talk:Bots, that you have also had issues with them recently. Blueboy, seems to think there is a concensus on style where none has really been reached. I also find his attitude unhelpful and his interpretations of the MoS rigid (as in Meta:Don't be a dick rigid). Please look into the matter, as you seem to be both level-headed and Wiki-Mighty in all things bot. If Iam truly in the wrong here, I will stand down. Thanks for your time and attention, --R.D.H.

Hi, I've created a page for the bot. Dlyons493 Talk 00:39, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
Am I correct in assuming that one can request jobs to be done by your bot here? I'm currently trying to orphan Image:Flag of Czech Republic.svg and replace it with Image:Flag of the Czech Republic, but the amount of pages it is used in (especially English, French, Spanish wikipedias) is enormous... ナイトスタリオン ✉ 20:01, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
Hi, AllyUnion. Discussion on this award at WP:BAP has been at a standstill for almost two months. Since you were previously involved in the decision-making, please consider reviving the discussion. If no attempts are made within a week, it will be archived. Thanks, Sango123 (talk) 15:09, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
Hi. I think we need about 30 more bureaucrats, and I think you'd make a good one. It is my understanding that RfB is a self-nom process, so I urge you to consider throwing your proverbial hat into the proverbial ring. Cheers! BD2412 T 19:45, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
I don't know if you have been paying attention but there has been some discussion on FPC here about deleting the discussion period in favor of the new peer review page (and other misc. changes). I would like your input because I don't know if you would have to modify your bot (we could just comment out the section and it would never bother with it) or perhaps you have somthing to add to the discussion. I 'm waiting for a few more FPC regulars to comments before making the changes . Broken S 22:43, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
