NRavenel (talk) 02:59, 7 May 2010 (UTC) Wiki Project unreferenced BLPSHello, I was told to add the likely notability of each unreferenced BLP on the figure skating notability page Wikipedia:WikiProject Figure Skating/Unreferenced BLPs. I spent a lot of time going though it and adding the likely notability of each person next to their name. People find this useful so they can start finding references for the skaters who are definitely notable as opposed to ones that may end up being deleted in an AfD anyway. My main concern is that your bot, while updating the page, undid all of my notes. Is there a way to update the page by adding and removing athletes without deleting all the text to the right of the people's name, and can you revert the text next to these athletes names. If not how should I go about doing what I was asked to do so it is compatible with this bot. Thanks --MATThematical (talk) 01:48, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

DASHbot ProblemsThe bot keeps repeatedly tagging File:Air Canada Jazz.svg, which is still used in articles, but, for some reason, there is no indication of it on the file page (glitch?)

The bot keeps saying that it can't answer questions.

Why is the bot retagging these images ?Hi - DASHBOT tagged this image for deletion. - File:Sudan_Girl_Guides_Association.png I then added the Template:Vector version available tag to the file, in which tag it specifically states: Note: this file will not be deleted for this reason, unless it is explicitly nominated for deletion. Deleting this image might break the “attribution path” for the new SVG image, which breaks licenses such as the GFDL. DASHBOT subsequently re-tagged this image for deletion - is this correct behaviour ? I am concerned because there are a whole bunch of these files I converted, and I'd rather not spend the rest of my life reverting tags :) Or am I misunderstanding something - any advice is welcome - I've not done this type of conversion before, so maybe I missed something ? update: it's done around 10 of these now, so I've reverted the tags and denied DASHBOT with {{bots|deny=DASHBot}} on those pages until I understand what is correct. nb: These are all the images to which this query applies: Thanks.

Barnstar for you
To free, or not to free?Hello Tim1357. I've noticed that your BOT had removed one of the images I have placed on my user-page. I've looked up the image, File:Nerds_box.jpg, and written beneath it is "This image has been (or is hereby) released into the public domain by its creator, SCEhardt. This applies worldwide". It also says it it "may qualify as fair use under United States copyright law" On the page which the bot sent me, I am the only one to featre an image with these tags on my userpage. The other offenders had posted obviously Copyrighted images such as the Ugly Betty Logo which is NOT fair use according to the description. I've never had any problems like this and am not sure exactaly of the rules. --iPEEfreely555 05:33, 30 May 2010 (UTC) Non-free image removalAs of now, your bot that removes non-free images does so just by adding a colon to the beginning of it. However, this does rather unsightly things to the article, especially when the image had parameters. Since you already add a comment to the end of the line, is there any chance you could modify your bot to just comment out the full image link instead? Thanks. —Gordon P. Hemsley→✉ 02:13, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
Redirects in navboxesHi there, I haven't come to say that DASHBot is erring, only that it could have done this edit better. When fixing the redirect, it produced a wiki link exactly the same as the display text, in this case it should use an unpiped link. Thanks, 117Avenue (talk) 03:45, 1 June 2010 (UTC) DASHbot over-enthusiastic?First of all, thanks for the highly useful "Bypassing redirects in navboxes" job your bot is doing! However, I think that changing a link to a section link ([3]) is not very helpful -- it does not have the desired effect of bolding the link and has a higher risk of breaking if the section header is changed. Cheers --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 07:32, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
DASH... sometimes a little to over-the-topHi, the bot removed [[File:Tecumseh high school ohio logo.gif]] from my userpage. The file in question is the logo for the high school I attended. First of all, I drew the image and uploaded it a while back. Secondly, we're talking about use of "I went to this high school" which does not detract or defame the school. Thirdly, we're talking about a friggin public high school and could care less and I KNOW does not hold any kind of ofrmal copyright on the logo or anything else. You know, the more I write this, the more I think I should just change the (c) status of the image. What do you think?--WaxonWaxov (talk) 10:46, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
Templates and redirectsThere is a slight problem regarding the renaming/standardisation of the WikiProject Templates that others are doing - it seems to be causing the DASHBot lists some problems. I've been updating the DASHBot list to match the new template names, but see History of Wikipedia:WikiProject Ohio/Unreferenced BLPs and Eurovision for examples of the drop-off and slow recovery of the lists. I'm not sure if it's related to the job-queue delay, or if there is something in DASHBot's code that makes it slow to recognise which articles are linked to a redirect to the new template name. I've asked Xeno to stop moving the template names until we work out what the issue is? Thanks. The-Pope (talk) 15:27, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
For a really simple case, see [SCUBA It only had the one article, Stephanie Schwabe, which is still unreferenced, but when the template was changed from {{WPSCUBA}} to {{WikiProject Scuba}} and I changed the link on the list, DASHBot "lost" the article, and now almost a week later still hasn't found the article that is on the old template name. Unless there is some setting missing in the DASHBot code to look at all articles connected to all redirects, I think don't think it's a Bot problem, but a Wiki problem. It may be related to the job queue, it may be a bug... I don't know. Other than just confirming that the Bot is looking at the named template and all of it's redirects, then I think we just have to wait. I wonder if doing a dummy edit to the templates can prompt an update?The-Pope (talk) 11:35, 2 June 2010 (UTC) A|A linksWhile fixing this[4] redirect, dashbot left an A|A style link in place. Can the code be changed so this doesn't happen? --JD554 (talk) 14:57, 2 June 2010 (UTC) Question about the "F5 Bot function"When looking for whether an image is used in an article or not, does this just look in the "File links" section or does it check the "Special:WhatLinksHere" or equivalent? I'm wondering because of some unfolding drama involving images being used as a references for articles (such as File:Poe 1908May29.gif in George Poe; it's a PD file but I'm curious about what would happen if there are non-free images in the same situation. VernoWhitney (talk) 22:07, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
DASHBot tagging non-orphaned imagesIt seems your bot tagged three Tintin covers as orphaned but as far as I can see they are still in use in their respective articles even though nothing shows up in their respective file links section. This is in reference to the cover images used in the articles The Seven Crystal Balls, Red Rackham's Treasure and The Secret of the Unicorn. If you click the images you see the message left by your bot.--Sus scrofa (talk) 08:08, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
Small Disambiguation PagesI just stumbled upon User:DASHBot/Small Disambiguation Pages and I think it will be very useful. However a random sample of pages show that they have 2 entries, not fewer than 2 entries, so are generally valid. If you could tweak the next run so that dab pages with 0 or 1 link(s) show up that would be great. If the page has (disambiguation) in the title then identifying those with 2 or fewer entries would be helpful (per WP:2DAB). Thanks. Tassedethe (talk) 09:23, 4 June 2010 (UTC) Wildcard cat UBLP searchTim1357, I've been going through some of the big UBLP lists generated each day by your DASHBot, such as Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Sports and games/Unreferenced BLPs, to see how many are listed in more specific WikiProjects. In this case, there are about 1400 articles not in any specific sport wikiproject. I found a bunch of archery, field hockey and handball players were unreferenced, but none of those sports have their own WikiProject, so neither the template nor the category method is available for use. I wasn't sure if the wildcard category method worked only on cats on the talk page or also on the main page. Would it be possible to have an extra parameter such as |usemainspacecats=yes to make the bot search article space categories, not talk page categories? I don't want to break it for the wildcard cats that currently work OK, but without seeing the bot's code it's hard to work out why it didn't find anything in these cases. With the wildcard cat search, is it case sensitive? Will the * at the beginning and end mean that it will only find words in the middle, not at the beginning or end of the cats? For now I'm generating the lists myself manually using WP:AWB. Cheers, The-Pope (talk) 12:05, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
Redirects in templatesRe this edit. I thought the bot would be intelligent enough to understand that the [[Article1|Article1]] are the same and would change it to simply [[Article1]]. Any way to smarten it up? Renata (talk) 11:10, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
Placement of Delete noticeDashbot placed a Delete notice on this image shortly after a vandal removed the image from the Prue Halliwell article. It seems that this is against WP:PRESERVE, since nobody checks to see why the image was removed. I caught this purely by accident, so it makes me wonder how many files have been deleted without checking why they were removed from articles? Are we certain that this is proper usage of this bot?

Someone's Blaming MeNone of these things reported on my page by the bots are to do with me... I can only assume that somebody else is signing things with my username. I've had a few "password reset/request" type e-mails since September 2006 up until 2010 (and ongoing); so I presume that someone wants my username. So anyway, if you have some kind of issue with something that you think I've done, please bear in mind, that I might not have done it. Most seem to be uploads of images for electronic music. I have not uploaded anything on wikipedia for maybe 7 years; so, you know, how do I deal with this "spam"?

DASHBot causing issues with redirects in navboxesI stopped the bot because of this edit and several others like it. Not all redirects in navboxes are a bad thing. Often, a redirect is created as a placeholder for a future distinct article. Take the case of 2010 Michigan State Spartans football team or Weber State Wildcats. Both represent valid topics that could have their own article, but haven't yet been spun off into enough discrete content of their own to merit a separate article. It's highly likely that these articles will be created soon, but for now, they make sense as redirects. In these cases, the redirect link is desirable, because once the article gets fleshed out, we don't want the original link to still be pointing to some section of a different article like Michigan State Spartans football#Future schedules, and it's going to take a lot of work to go through and address all of the wikilinks that got "fixed" by the bot. DeFaultRyan 16:43, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
Unreferenced BLPsHi Tim, I've noticed that a lot of articles are being stickyprodded without people bothering to tag them as unreferencedBLPs. Does Dashbot still pick these articles up and report them to projects along with other unreferenced BLPs? The template used is {{dated prod blp}}, if Dashbot doesn't recognise it it would be great if it could do so, if it does then there might no longer be a need to tag these articles with both tags.

DASHBotDASHBot appears to have inadvertently perpetuated an incidence of redirect vandalism. If you maintain detailed logs, determine where all the bot replaced "associative thinking" and "magical thinking" with "religion". — C M B J 10:33, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
I was thinking Dump scan because I could compare the links that the bot updated to a list of redirects. For each redirect that the bot scans, the script could check the list of redirects to see if it is still a redirect. Those that aren't would be logged, and can be dealt with by humans (me).

DASHBot MalfunctionHi. I noticed that DASHBot was run on Washington, D.C. and Congress Hall. In each instance, the bot marked a few reference links as dead but when I checked the URLs, they came up fine. I thought it may have just been a fluke on the D.C. page, but then when it did it again on Congress Hall, I decided to let you know in case there's an issue.

DASHbot shouldn't label NYT archives as deadlinks!DASHbot is labelling links to the pre-1981 New York Times archives as "deadlinks". See many occurrences of this happening to the Mike Gravel article with this DASHbot edit, for example. This action is really misguided, in my view. The pre-1981 NYT archives, indicated by the select.nytimes.com URL aren't "dead", they are just behind a paywall (but are available to all subscribers and home delivery recipients). These archive NYT stories are heavily used in historical articles in WP. They aren't dead! They just aren't free online. There's a big difference. DASHbot should leave them alone. Thanks ...

Among these, it altered an ISBN to include hyphens...but unfortunately the ISBN was part of an image name, so it broke the image link. Would there be any easy way for the bot to make sure it doesn't edit image names in this way?

Very late reaction on feedback placed on my pageHi Tim, Your bot -DASHBot placed a message on my talk-page on January 2nd,2010 about an article about a living person that had no references. I added two (reliable) refs and removed the unreferencedBLP from October 2009. If this is not according to Wiki standards (the removing of the unrefBLP tag) just correct me. Thank your bot for warning me, but I was on Wikibreak for some months.... JanT (talk) 19:17, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
Filter 339I'm not competent at programming, so if my comment does not make sense, just ignore it. I think what you've called the "gay" filter would consume less resources if the condition added_lines rlike "\b([Gg][Aa][Yy]|[Hh][Oo][Mm][Oo][Ss][Ee][Xx][Uu][Aa][Ll])\b" was before the condition '[[Category:Living people]]' in old_wikitext because "added_lines rlike" consume less than "in old_wikitext", no?

PBSKIDSDASHBot: wrong deadlinksI just corrected two deadlink tags added by DASHBot to very much alive websites, on Candy Shop and Confessions on a Dance Floor after which I turned it off to be on the safe side. They were both from two weeks ago (13 June 2010). I had a look at changes list around that time and unfortunately the bot was very busy creating dead links, all of which seemed wrong to me.

I really need to do a major clean of it but it would take too long and a total wipe would be too drastic (I don't want to risk losing some of the older pages I watchlisted.. so was wondering, do you know of any scripts or tools that organize the pages on my watchlist according to the date of *MY* last edit to them? But anyways I'm rambling on..) So apparently all the members at WikiProject Redirect have stopped paying attention to it (in fact this general project-wide apathy towards Maintenance WikiProjects really disappoints me, but, yet again I digress..) so I'm hoping that when you return, if you'll consider resubmitting your bot request and letting me know about it on my talk page?

Re: Orphaned non-free image File:Colton Harris-Moore.jpgHi! I got the following message from your bot about an image I uploaded. The bot said that it was going to delete the image because it was an orphaned image and not being used in any articles, but the image is currently being used in Colton Harris-Moore and that is clearly evident in the 'file links' subsection of the image description, as well as by going to the article itself. So I shut off your bot because it most definitely isn't working properly. WTF? (talk) 06:39, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
Hello Tim. Currently 99% of edits to the main space will be tested against the condition "old_wikitext rlike" including very long pages.

I approve.Wikipedia should always have at least two regular anti-vandal bots running so that if one goes down, the other can continue.
P.S. - Is there a particular reason that DASHBot only posts once at a time on a user's talk page about non-free images? I think it's a higher priority reminder than that of SineBot. I think DASHBot should be permitted to post the non-free reminder more than once. mechamind90 03:07, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

Something that should probably be fixed.DASHBot notified a user not to add any non-free images to their own userpage when actually someone else added it. The message should probably be changed (as it might not have been to a user's own space where they added non-free images) and the user to notify should probably be the one who adds the image. mechamind90 05:23, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

I wasn't sure how best to add to the false positives reports in light of that. And in this case I don't think it's a false positive you can fix. The diff is here. The edit DASH reverted was actually just a quote from the movie. As such, it would have been reverted anyway for being unneeded (we try to avoid dialogue quotes in plot summaries if we can) but it definitely wasn't vandalism. And, of course, in 99.99% of all instances where that text would get added, it would be vandalism so I don't know if you can tweak it. But there it is, just in case. If you want me to report this to you in some other way, let me know. I'll tag your page for watching so no need to post a talk back. Millahnna (talk) 05:51, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

New MDB FeatureHello! I have just added a new feature to MessageDeliveryBot. It is now possible to have the message delivered on behalf of a WikiProject instead of a specific user. The user who requested the delivery will still be visible in a comment, as well as in the welcome message given to a user if the bot is creating his talk page, however, the bot's edit summary and signature will use the WikiProjects name. To use this new feature, fill in the optional 'WikiProject Name' field when making a request (leave out the Wikipedia: namespace prefix). If this field is left blank, then your username will be used to sign requests, as the bot previously did. Happy editing!

In contrast with your tool, we can see changes to articles and their talk pages at the same time and we can also subscribe to the Atom feed; so we can see the changes without having to fire a web browser, but instead using a feed reader (much more convenient for a guy like me who spends a lot of time in front of the computer; as changes pop-up in my desktop while I might be doing a completely different task than browsing Wikipedia, e.g programming, chatting, watching a film, etc.).

We have a major copyvio problem involving over 23,000 articles and would like to send messages and create lists for relevant projects and anyone who has edited any of the relevant articles. Discussion is here Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents/CCI#Enlisting_projects_and_other_editors. ϢereSpielChequers 12:48, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
DashbotHi Tim - can you take a quick look at this page - I gave a level4IM and dashbot gave a level 1 thereafter. I am thinking that dashbot is not seeing the level4IM in the same way that it would have seen a level4. Thanks. 7 01:35, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
