Edits to Elihu Yale pageCyde, I'm not 100% sure if this is the right way to do this so please point me in the right direction if there is a better way... I filed a Dispute Resolution Request to deal with the continuing and repetitive edits that various users have made to Elihu Yale's nationality. He was an Englishman. America had not been established and nor had Britain - so he could not be "American" nor "British". As precedent, Wikipedia shows Wentworth Miller ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wentworth_Miller ), who was born in the UK but obviously from an American family and living in America, as "American". One edit was listed as coming from Cydebot - hence this notification. Thank you. -Kim 99.4.120.135 (talk) 22:44, 8 November 2016 (UTC) Mistakes by Cydebot while moving categoriesHi Cyde, I found a series of errors when Cydebot moved pages from "Category:Roman Catholic Church in **continent** " to "Category:Catholic Church in Africa" (beginning edit, ending edit).

MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 20:32, 12 November 2016 (UTC) A new user right for New Page PatrollersHi Cyde. A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right. It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best. If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR.

Hey, You might want to check on wherever Cydebot is running. It seems to be making many login attempts, and failing. As of writing, it is currently blocked from logging in for 2 days... Please confirm you can login as the bot manually, and potentially restart your script. Bots require an 8 character password now, so you might need to change it. Ping me if you need some more help with it. Reedy (talk) 01:35, 12 November 2016 (UTC) Thanks for the notice. It started running again without any intervention on my part. I wonder if something was temporarily wrong with WMF Tool Labs, and then someone fixed it? --Cyde Weys 19:54, 13 November 2016 (UTC)  It may take a few minutes from the time the email is sent for it to show up in your inbox.

Recategorisation of ChildLineChildLine is not a 'crisis helpline' so Robot - Speedily moving category Helplines to Category:Crisis hotlines per CFDS. is incorrect. ChildLine is a free 24-hour counselling service for children and young people, ie it is available to those who are not in crisis, though that may be the case.

Visitor attractions in LeicestershirePlease don't allow your bot to edit war: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Stoney_Cove&action=history&offset=20161210 I understand that Category:Visitor attractions in Leicestershire is to be deleted because of a deletion decision. That's up to the folks who take part in these sort of deliberations. However, although Stoney Cove, a flooded quarry used by scuba divers from many parts of the country, could be described as a "visitor attraction", there's no way it could be considered a "tourist attraction". Your bot is unfortunately working on the assumption that the two terms are interchangeable. Clearly they are not. --RexxS (talk) 21:22, 10 December 2016 (UTC) The Signpost: 22 December 2016
Cydebot and large categoriesHi, does Cydebot still read Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Working/Large? A number of large tasks have been coming up lately that otherwise absorb all energy for days on end. Timrollpickering 21:58, 16 December 2016 (UTC) I just verified that Cydebot should be processing CFD Large.

Your bot is performing an unapproved task[3] [4] [5] [6] [7] (((The Quixotic Potato))) (talk) 22:56, 27 January 2017 (UTC) I checked WP:BRFA and your bot isn't approved for edits like those. The edits will have to be reverted and your bot has to learn to ignore userspace. Please do not run unapproved bot tasks. You can delete the categories, but you are not allowed to remove links to those cats in userspace. I also noticed that your bot is in the hidden category Active Wikipedia bots with no specified BRFA, please fix that.

A tag has been placed on Template:Rotartsinimda, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 23:47, 13 March 2017 (UTC) Wrong date in Cydebot summariesToday Cydebot's edit summaries [8] say Removing category per CFD at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2017 January 0.

Wm A. Connelly deletionI am not knowledgeable about bots, nor really an expert on army service awards and ribbons, but Cydebot may have made a mistake. Or I may be all wet. Cydebot removed category: recipient of bronze star, William A. Connelly, Sergeant Major of the Army. It looks like Connelly did receive the award, so is the category just being eliminated throughout Wikipedia? I don't use the categories feature much, and well may be missing subtleties here. Cats seem to be perpetually being modified, added or eliminated, so I usually don't pay much attention. I was looking at another problem with the article, studying the history, and Cydebot's edit is the most recent edit to the article. I'm sure you have more important things to do, but maybe if you have a moment, you can take a look. rags (talk) 19:21, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

Please stop the bot!By changing "X architecture in New York" to "X architecture in New York (state)", the ambiguity between "New York" meaning New York state and "New York" meaning New York City is being ignored. The articles need to be divided into the proper category. Please stop the bot until this is accomodated. Beyond My Ken (talk) 06:26, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
