{{NowCommons}} reviewHi Mets, your bot tagged Image:Electric cattle prod.jpg as reviewed, but the image doesn't meet the 6th criterium in the bot's documentation; I only tagged it with {{NowCommons}} 11 hours before. This is not a problem with me, but maybe you should review the criteria? Regards, Phaunt (talk) 11:19, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Ralbot (talk) 13:35, 27 December 2007 (UTC) Seeking helpI have created few userboxes on your UBX space. I felt that you want other people to create userboxes here so that userboxes can be found in a single place. In fact, I appreciate this your initiative. But, unfortunately, few people are trying to mark my activity as vandalism and it became a debatable issue once again. Could you please come and express your view regarding this issue? It would be a great help for me. Here goes the link Debate . Cheers - Niaz(Talk • Contribs) 19:02, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
A request for your consideration regarding CAT:AOTR
...My guinea pigs and the "A"s through "K"s having felt this message was OK to go forward with (or at least not complained bitterly to me about it :) ), today it's the turn of the "L"s through "O"s! I'm hoping that more of you chaps/chapettes will point to their own criteria instead of mine :)... it's flattering but a bit scary! :) Also, you may want to check back to the table periodically, someone later than you in the alphabet may have come up with a nifty new idea. ++Lar: t/c 00:02, 5 January 2008 (UTC) HiWhen I proposed that we create an article on Wikipedia vandalism I noticed that you seemed interested and thought that one was merited.

Ralbot (talk) 08:39, 18 January 2008 (UTC) In this edit, the bot posted the en wikipedia log on en wikipedia. This looks like a bug. Superm401 - Talk 16:36, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
Dear MetsBot: When I started to upload this image to commons, the software told me that an image with the same name already existed there and the thumbnail view it presented was the same image. I did not investigate further and should have. Since then, I have uploaded the higher resolution image to commons, updated the information template to reflect the information that can be found here and now I am here, leaving a message about all of this along with an apology. I should have looked more closely at the images and I appreciate a good bot who can and does do this. -- carol 13:33, 23 January 2008 (UTC) Signpost updated for January 21st, 2008.

Ralbot (talk) 00:10, 24 January 2008 (UTC) Transfered to commons: Image:Europe GDP 2007.pngHi. I tagged this image as available on Commons, but your bot complained about the uploader (in this cause also author) not getting credit. So I have adjusted the page on Commons, it should be okay now. But I have an additional question: this file has some historic versions which we are asked to preserve on Commons by uploading them all in the right order, but that didn't happen here. Is that necessary (one historic version seems to be a mistake, another is a version with slightly different colours), and is it possible to correct this now? Greetings, StevenDH (talk) 11:54, 24 January 2008 (UTC) 7,5 x 55 Swiss4.jpgI intentionally renamed the 7,5 x 55 Swiss4.jpg image-file to Image:7.5 x 55 Swiss.jpg in Wikimedia Commons and removed the link to 7,5 x 55 Swiss4.jpg from the 7.5x55mm Schmidt Rubin article.

Ralbot (talk) 08:55, 14 February 2008 (UTC) MetsBot unsureHi Mets501 :) I just noted that MetsBot was unsure about the licensing of Image:Horace_Silver_by_Dmitri_Savitski_1989.jpg on commons, can you tell me why? I moved it using CommonsHelper, so that might be an interesting issue to look at (since the text was automatic and the same situation might therefore repeat itself)...

I see that you moved this Userbox template to user space (if I have correctly understood the explanation on userbox migration referenced in the deletion log).

Speedy deletion of Template:Character
A tag has been placed on Template:Character 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>).
Thanks. --MZMcBride (talk) 21:40, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Your quote on your front page is broken
Dunno if you noticed, but that darn Px bug seems to have affected your cquote thingy. I went and tried to fix the code myself but ended up breaking a bunch of stuff, so I posted your page to the Wikipedia:ClickFix/Broken page so that it could get fixed. I hope you don't mind, it just looks so wrong otherwise. Casull 06:28, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
MetsBot offline?
Hello Mets501. Say, what's up with MetsBot? The bot's work on images moved to Commons is sorely missed (as you can see by the unusually large backlogs on the two relevant categories). Hope you'll consider returning it to active duty. Cheers, Pascal.Tesson (talk) 02:58, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, it was broken and I never really had the time or energy to fix it. But now it's back online :-) —METS501 (talk) 17:03, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
- That's great news. Actually, though I know deleting bots are not exactly popular, I'd be interested in arguing that MetsBot (or some specific bot working in tandem with MetsBot) should be deleting those which are clear-cut cases. I used to do a lot of this cleanup and step 1 was always to just identify the ones MetsBot said were ok and open lots of tabs to delete them. It's such a stupid waste of time.

buttbot back online. Newyorkbrad (talk) 18:44, 30 March 2008 (UTC)- Haha. Yeah, it's really stupid.

MetsBot suggestion
Would it be possible for MetsBot to "fail" an image review if either {{KeepLocal}} or {{NoCommons}} have been placed on the en Wikipedia image description page? Kelly hi! 22:23, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
I suppose you commonly get people asking about images they have created or uploaded. I am just stating that i did make the transfer (do i have to be an admin to do this as i am not). For the licenses i was trying to make them the same or similar. Also, i changed the file name during the transfer to Commons to be more in line with the other image as i am going to have a small series of maps (next up, Hull Trains). Finally i think both images should be kept as i made numerous revsions to this image but not all of these revisions were transferred to Commons, just the current version (as of April 2008). Simply south (talk) 12:02, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
And i suppose i could have come up with better names but never mind, i'll stick with these. Simply south (talk)
Never mind on this. Per advice i asked for on this on the Help Desk, i removed NewCommons and MetsBot's message and left a separate message in the Summary section. Simply south (talk) 20:40, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
