This bot still sends me requests at User talk:OKelly. Could it please send it to User talk:Uhlan as I have changed my username. Cheers. Uhlan ( talk) 06:25, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
RFC bot is maintaining a red link as the following diffs should show. ( diff1 diff2) Please correct this as soon as possible. – Allen4 names 17:45, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
I added this RfC to the BIO page and the RfCbot supposedly fixed the link but then added it twice to the POL page instead. It looks correct in the following edit, but it is not listed on the BIO page. Not sure how to fix it.

This seems to have been fixed, but thank you for bringing it too my attention. Feel free to poke me if it breaks again. -- Chris 09:30, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi Chris! Would it be difficult to modify the bot to generate noticeboard summaries (see WP:DASHBOARD) for talkpages here: {{ Christianity-related talkpages}}? – Lionel ( talk) 03:45, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
I've just noted that on 4 Feb the bot removed my listed RfC from the Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Politics, government, and law and the Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Language and linguistics pages. It is my understanding that an RfC is to run for 30 days before bot removal. Has that changed or am I missing something here? Thanks. JakeInJoisey ( talk) 13:28, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
Dear Chris,
My name is Jonathan Obar
user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community
HERE, were it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.
So a few things about the interviews:
Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at [email protected] (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name
HERE instead.
If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at [email protected]. I will be more than happy to speak with you.
Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Obar -- Jaobar ( talk) 02:35, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi Chris, a few days ago Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Airports was added by RfC bot to the list of RfCs. I'm not sure why, although there was (much earlier) briefly a debate about raising an RfC for a discussion there. The entry in Wikipedia:Requests for comment/WikiProjects and collaborations is now causing confusion: please can you remove it? Thanks, -- RFBailey ( talk) 18:39, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
Please take a look at Wikipedia talk:Copyrights. Your bot removed an RfC tag from it as it was 30 days old. That particular discussion has had a long pause while we wait for legal input from the foundation so the RfC needs to remain open. Knowing that if I just reverted the bot, the bot would likely just remove it I instead re-added an RfC tag without a rfcid so that hopefully the bot would treat it as new. The bot did indeed add a new rfcid but then promptly removed the whole tag with its next edit. I'm assuming this is undesired behaviour from the bot. There should certainly be some way to keep RfCs listed beyond 30 days. Dpmuk ( talk) 18:54, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Your orphaned image deletion bot deleted File:Quest Diagnostics.svg. Would you please restore that file, add it to article Quest Diagnostics, and tag it {{ SVG-Res}}? Thanks! — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 12:47, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
What's with changing the GA nomination sub-categories to "computing and engineering" as you did here and here? According to the nominations page the topic is "Ehgineering and technology" and the subtopic can be "computing" or "engineering" so I don't see what was wrong with the template before you changed it. Your change has resulted in a redlinked error in the categories. Spinning Spark 19:30, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi Chris. Thanks for your recent changes. It has however inspired other changes and I was wondering if you could code your bot to run if the page was set up like User:Aircorn/GAN. It has basically moved a few sections around, which I beleive should not create any problems and merged a few of the underused ones together. The new headings (in italics) are Agriculture, food and drink (combnining "Farming and cultivation" and "Food and drink"), Language and literature (combining "Language and linguistics" and "Literature"), Computing and engineering (combining "Computing" and "Engineering), Philosophy and Religion (combining "Philosophy" and "Religion"), Earth sciences (combining "Geology, geophysics and mineralogy" and "Meteorology and atmospheric sciences") and Culture, sociology and psychology (combining "Culture and society", "Psychology" and "Sociology"). The Archaology section will be merged with the "World History" one (it will still be named World History). Feel free to play around in my sandbox.
Also a few minor bugs. GA Bot has been adding passed and failed articles to the queue under the Miscellaneous heading before removing them [1] [2]. As far as I can tell the articles are listed fine, they are reviewed and passed or failed and then the bot puts them under Miscellaneous before removing them properly the next round. It has not personally happened to me, but two seperate editors have commented on it at the talk page. Also if the note parameter is before the status parameter on the {{ GAnominee}} template [3] it causes the status to be presented as a note [4].
Let me know if you have any questions, I am on UTC +11 hours and will be availible in about 9-10 hours (bed time now). AIRcorn (talk) 12:28, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
