The foundation is looking for tech gurus. here . Not sure if things are still bad for you but I reckon you'd be suitable. like this..♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:32, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
This has been marked as approved. Sorry I never got back to you about improving your regexes. One important but quick fix is to escape those unescaped full stops/periods. There are a bunch of other problems, but it should at least be usable atm. - Kingpin13 (talk) 02:53, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
Dear MJCdetroit,
You bot, Detroiterbot has been doing modifications which are contrary to the following statement of WP:MOSNUM:
Put the units first that are in the most widespread use in the world. Usually, these are International System of Units (SI) units and non-SI units officially accepted for use with the SI; but there are various exceptions for some measurements, such as years for long periods of time or the use of feet in describing the altitude of aircraft. If editors cannot agree, and several units are found in the sources, put SI first.
The current edits of your bot systematically put customary units first, before SI units. Hence, I request that you bot be stopped immediately and all for its modifications be reverted.
In addition, your bot's user page does not have the following mandatory information:
Nor the optional emergency shutdown button.
Finally, as your bot is so good to put FFU first, maybe could it be used to enforce MOSNUM in putting SI units first.
Thank you for your cooperation.
P.S.: To make this process quicker I have reported your bot to AVI.

**For topics strongly associated with a given place, put the most appropriate units first. For example:
- US articles generally put United States customary units first.
- UK articles more often put metric units first, but imperial units may be put first in some contexts...

It looks like your bot edit summary is specific to each edit. Can you tell me how to do it with AWB code? I'll watch this page. Regards Lightmouse (talk) 13:14, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
Excellent! I'll test it in a few days. If I can make it work like yours, that'll be a great improvement. Incidentally, feel free to comment at my bot applications starting with Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Lightbot 6 to 14. These revive a tiny subset of the previous Lightbot3 functionality.

The Plymouth, Pennsylvania article is far too long, but there are many opportunities to make some sections into articles. Can you help?--DThomsen8 (talk) 14:08, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
please provide a source for the 01:00 time ! thanks Mightymights (talk) 18:22, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
I believe you are the admin that recently locked this article. While I appreciate someone took notice of the constant vandalism on the article, I am not sure you really intended to block it at the level you did. I am a long-time established editor (autoconfimred etc) but can no longer edit this article. Is this what you intended? Regards, Mercy11 (talk) 02:41, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Template:Pop density km2 to mi2 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.
If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{transclusionless}}</noinclude>).
Please don't add Pending changes to any more articles (as you did at Niagara Falls)—doing so would be against the Request for comment. Cheers, —GFOLEY FOUR— 04:31, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

This is to let you know that an ongoing poll is taking place to move Burma to Myanmar. This note is going out to wikipedia members who have participated in Burma/Myanmar name changing polls in the past. It does not include banned members nor those with only ip addresses. Thank you.
