Hi, I'm contacting you about several photos I added to the Croatian Air Force and Special Operations Battalion (Croatia) articles which were singled out by your bot for lacking copyright info. I added the said info to the disputed photos, but they are still candidates for speedy deletion. Could you rectify that? Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ivanjek ( talk • contribs) 18:04, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
I guss that is made by you. I have edited it a little bit, and I'm planning to edit it even more. Where can I put it in order to send changes to you? do you have an svn/git? Fale ( talk) 19:02, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for your mail re. Licensing for the above image. I am sorry but I had upoaded this file in error (I had previously uploaded with the proper license) therefore this was a duplication. Please delete it, thank you.-- Jimmydenham ( talk) 09:26, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
I don't understand why you admins turn blind to Tajik ( talk · contribs) when he goes around use sockpuppets in your faces and vandalize pages after pages. Is Wikipedia some type of gang related website? User:Tajik is removing sourced material from articles, this is vandalism and you admins allow it. He uses the excuse "falsification and POVs" but it's really him doing those if you concentrate on his edits. These are only few examples: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5] He and Inuit18 ( talk · contribs) (sockpuppet of Anoshirawan) pops up as a tag-team and usually at the same time, I believe that account is shared by him and someone in USA who's English is not so great. It's so strange that he comes everyday but only edit very little, so it's very likely that he's using sockpuppets to evade his 1 RR restriction. Tajik pretends that he is against POVs but it's he that is a POV pusher. "The author - in this case al-Biruni - is referring to the Suleiman Mountains. In that case, it is highly probable that he was referring to Pashtuns, because he had described them as a "Hindu people" before.... Tajik (talk) 01:10, 26 June 2009 (UTC)". It's very clear for readers here that Tajik hates Pashtuns with great passion so he wants to give them a new history which would make them being Hindus when all the scholars, history books, encyclopedias, and the Pashtuns themselves, disagree. There is "zero traces" of any Hindu culture among the Pashtuns. Anyway, Tajik was blocked 17 times and banned for a whole year but he doesn't seem to care about any of that, he just wants to remove things from articles that he doesn't agree with or doesn't like. This is a serious problem and you guys should put an end to it. I also believe Muxlim ( talk · contribs) is him.
Thanks for approving my account on the acc tool. CalumH93 ( talk) 15:08, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Hello, Chris G/Archives/2009. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Frmatt ( talk) 08:06, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
The bot is behaving strangely here and here. I undid it the first time, but it seems that unlike some other bots yours will edit-war with me if I keep reverting it. It looks like the absence of line breaks, although perfectly legitimate, is causing the template to be misread, so I've refactored the request, but perhaps some tweaking is needed so that the bot can understand the {{ Renameuser2}} template even when it used on one line?

Can you get your bot to delete the associated talk page as well? Tim Song ( talk) 18:10, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
Are there any code examples out there of using botclasses.php [6] to upload files to commons? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Kaldari ( talk) 19:58, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
<?php
/* Setup the mediawiki classes. */
require_once 'botclasses.php';
$commons = new wikipedia;
$commons->url = 'http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php';
/* Log in to commons. */
$user = 'FooBar';
$pass = '******';
$commons->login($user,$pass);
/* Upload an example image. */
$commons->upload(
'Example.jpg', /* The image's destination filename */
'/home/foo/example.jpg', /* The filepath to the image on your local computer */
"\{\{PD\}\}\r\nAn example image.\r\n" /* The image description page*/
);
?>
Although that particular function was written before the api supported uploading images so it uses index.php, when I get around to finishing it my rewrite should support uploading images via the api. -- Chris 08:19, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Hello!
I am trying to set up my bot that is using your botclasses. Everything is running well except editing or getting pages that are using different character encoding (i mean characters like: č, ť, ž, á ect.). I thought that problem is in curl_setopt but everything i tried was useless. Could you help me? -- ra1n ★ 14:50, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
function FixEncoding($x){
if (mb_detect_encoding($x)=='UTF-8') {
return $x;
} else {
return utf8_encode($x);
}
}

Oh yeah. Yes, it doesn't have a copyright. So you can remove it ASAP. It is not suitable for the article it was intended for anyway.-- عيسى ( talk) 00:53, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
Hi there, thanks for the message about File:Kate Brown cropped.jpg. As you'll see from the description, it is a cropped version of File:Kate Brown OR.jpg which is licensed under the Creative Commons CC0 waiver. When I created it, I tried to add the same tag to File:Kate Brown cropped.jpg but it doesn't seem to recognize it. Any idea how to do it? Thanks. -- Lincolnite ( talk) 12:59, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
Hi Chris - I've fully protected that page as I imagine it would be a pain if someone enabled it for the lulz and we had two bots clerking. Sorry for rudely intruding into your bots user space :0 Pedro : Chat 12:02, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
Hey, any idea why your bot removed my clerk note at CHU? Useight ( talk) 00:52, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
About a month ago your bot flagged an image as being a candidate for speedy deletion even though that image had the "cc-by-2.0" license tag. Maybe "Money-US" would be better, but, regardless, per the tag, I think the edit was inappropriate? I can revert it but I worry that your bot might just retag it if I do that TerraFrost ( talk) 04:47, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
Chris,
On 30 October 2009, I was contacted by a bot of your about licensing problems with File:Kurier-r.png. While the comments were a bade case of bureaucracy gone rampant, I politely explained the licensing of this file on the image's page.
Notwithstanding my explanation, the file has been deleted. At no point have I been contacted by a human being.
Please be so kind as to get this deletion reverted, or at least to tell me what was unacceptable in my reply. -- Jec ( talk) 23:57, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
Hi Chris,
You might have this on a to-do list since Oct. and its turn just hasn't come up, but I'm wondering if the {{ IPAr}} (|pl switch) to {{ IPAc-pl}} move is feasible. Just checking, no rush.
Thanks, kwami ( talk) 02:10, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
