Hey there. I wanted to drop you a note to see if you'd be interested in joining the Guild of Copy Editors July 2013 backlog elimination drive. You've helped out the Guild in the past, and I was hoping you'd do so again. We've made lots of progress on the backlog, cutting it by two third since we started three years ago, but have stalled out in recent months. We need more help to keep pushing down the number of articles that still need copy editing. The current drive is already halfway over! Please consider joining it and chipping in a few articles. I hope to see you there. Cheers. — Torchiest talk edits 13:30, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

I'm not sure on the correct process for editing a currently approved bot task but since you were the one to approve my bot I thought this would be a good place to start. I would like to change the search regex the task uses from;
\[\[Category:(Year of birth|Year of death|Living people|Possibly living people)
to;
\[\[Category:(Year of birth|Year of death|Living people|Possibly living people|[1-9][0-9][0-9][0-9] (births|deaths))
I have checked this regex and I'm convinced it works as expected. It will mean that the BOT will also tag pages that have a birth/death year category on them which should increase it's coverage of bio articles still with low/zero false positives. Let me know what I have to do to start using this please. Jamesmcmahon0 ( talk) 08:50, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi Hellknowz. I came across your name here when I was trying to get in touch with Rotlink about repairing the link to a page that serves as a source in an article I've nominated at GAN. I don't know about the reasons for Rotlink's block, but they have done some excellent work on tracking down "lost" pages, from what I've seen. Anyway, I know it's a long shot, but would you happen to know where I should go to see if the link can be repaired, or rather, the lost page re-found and then archived? If it's of interest, the page in question was (as per the citation):

Good evening.
Yesterday, I've put up a quick edit on the page of MOBA games that was meant to be a basic backbone of a separate topic of information when it comes to that genre. The edit was quick and dirty, so I have no problem with it being removed, however, I'd still like to add a section to that page about this topic, this time, hopefully, for good.
Thus I came here asking for a guideline. My edit was shut down stating: "...provide reliable non-primary sources covering this," as a basic area it needs to be better in to be accepted. After some thinking about it, I've still got problems settling on what exactly was meant by that. Do I have to find references from gaming journalist sites to legitimze my edit (like this one: "Gamasutra Q&A with Gabe Newell", Gamasutra.com, 3. question and the response to it), or is there something else in particular that needs to be done to make the edit fit your idea of a proper way of putting the topic to the public?
Thank you for your help. 94.136.138.30 ( talk) 20:49, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
As stated on the Template:Infobox VG documentation, the producer field is for:
The popular name(s) of the game producer(s), who were in charge of the overall production of the game. The name(s) can be wikilinked.
Seeing as Mark Morris is the producer of the game, and he fits in with criteria 1 in the above list, I have a hard time seeing why you feel it is not. Osarius - Want a chat? 14:26, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
I just noticed this addition to the Reference Library and wanted to say thanks. Non-English sources are relatively rarer and WP:VG could stand to see a lot more diversity of its sources. Early Russian sources in particular are fascinating to me due to their guileless coverage of obvious pirate material. You get the same thing to a lesser extent in early Portuguese sources. And I'm guessing older Chinese sources may be the same but I have no idea if sources like that even exist. Anyway it was nice of you to offer to share this source. - Thibbs ( talk) 19:20, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi Hellknowz. Re: your comment at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games#Straw poll, it would be great if you could note down some of your suggestions and concerns, either here, or at my talkpage, or at WT:Flow and WT:Flow/Design FAQ. I can happily extrapolate from brief bullet-points, or long-form posts would also be welcome! Whichever you have time and inclination for.

The more feature ideas they have, and the more descriptions of problems & perspectives they have, the better (and faster) Flow will morph into what we all need.

How could you approve a bot to edit war with human editors? I'm talking about Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Cyberbot II 4. A minimum requirement for that bot to resume operations would be for it be exclusion compliant, which at present it is not. By the way, there is significant discrepancy between the claim on the approval page, which says "Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes", and the Bot's page, which says "Exclusion compliant? No". It's also not listed at Category:Wikipedia bots which are exclusion compliant. Someone not using his real name ( talk) 12:52, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
Hi, I've had a BRFA open for a while now and it's not received any comments or input. I mistakenly added the template to the bottom of the list rather than the top and I'm wondering if that has caused something I'm unaware of to (not) happen. I was hoping you could take a look since you've reviewed a few of my BOT's tasks before. Sorry to sound impatient, I'm not really in a rush to get it approved, just thinking it might have fallen through the net because I messed up adding to to the BAG page!

Hi, about two years ago you posted a comment here. I was wondering if you could enlighten me. I recently wrote a template {{ Books and Writers}} which is for a dead site accessible only through the Wayback Machine. The template produces output like this:
Is this OK or am I doing it wrong? Doing it as a template made the job of replacing existing instances much easier as I could just swap in the new template replacing the previous text. Plus it creates a consistent look and easy to update URLs in the future in a single place. --

Interesting. This will benefit the article. I'm also looking for any room for "production" info. So if you happen to find something like that, even when it was announced, that would really help the article. but for older games like these, i know its hard to come by.

Additionally, if you happen to have the ISSN numbers for these magazines (just in case this might be able to get to FA/GA status). that would be great too. Thea rticle is now C-class.

Hi Hellknowz, I was hoping you could help me with a bit of Russian I want to include in the next issue of the WP:VG Newsletter. My question isn't so much about the translation as it is about the transliteration. I understand that there is more than one system for Romanization of Russian, so whatever is the most common or the most intuitive to you would be all I need. The phrase is: "Проект:Компьютерные игры" and this was my attempt, but I need a doublecheck at least.

Hi there, Thanks for your edits to this article; however, I've removed the references you added. One of them effectively covered the same ground as an existing one pointing to the same issue.
The other one was being used to support the assertion that the name change occurred in May 1988. This is incorrect; the magazine was still known as "Page 6", and Atari User was still being published at that point.
Although your reference only gives the issue number and no more detail, I'm guessing this is a misinterpretation of the *subtitle* on the front cover which states "Atari Users' Magazine" (as it did on a number of earlier issues).
I've added a reference supporting the correct dates. No hard feelings; it was an understandable mistake. All the best, Ubcule ( talk) 18:36, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

Hello Hellknowz! I would like to invite you to help beta test the interface for InternetArchiveBot. IABot is a bot designed to help mitigate link rot on Wikipedia. Users can control the bot by using a Management Interface that was designed to be integrated with and similar to Wikipedia (For example, only autoconfirmed users can run the bot; on-wiki administrators have admin access on the tool; user permissions on the tool are flag based; logs are kept; etc.)
If you'd like to help out, feel free to give the interface a go to check for bugs/anomalies/other weird things and send your feedback to Cyberpower678, the bot operator. Again, the interface is at http://tools.wmflabs.org/iabot/ (If it's down for maintenance right now, it'll be back up shortly). If you are not interested, feel free to ignore this message.

If you celebrate no holidays at this time of year, then hopefully you will be satisfied with an even more generic "Season's Greetings". :) BOZ ( talk) 01:00, 23 December 2017 (UTC)

Hello,
There will be some changes to the way wikitext is parsed during the next few weeks. It will affect all namespaces. You can see a list of pages that may display incorrectly at Special:LintErrors. Since most of the easy problems have already been solved at the English Wikipedia, I am specifically contacting tech-savvy editors such as yourself with this one-time message, in the hope that you will be able to investigate the remaining high-priority pages during the next month.
There are approximately 10,000 articles (and many more non-article pages) with high-priority errors. The most important ones are the articles with misnested tags and table problems. Some of these involve templates, such as infoboxes, or the way the template is used in the article. In some cases, the "error" is a minor, unimportant difference in the visual appearance. In other cases, the results are undesirable. You can see a before-and-after comparison of any article by adding ?action=parsermigration-edit to the end of a link, like this: /info/en/?search=Arthur_Foss?action=parsermigration-edit (which shows a difference in how {{ infobox ship}} is parsed).
If you are interested in helping with this project, please see Wikipedia:Linter. There are also some basic instructions (and links to even more information) at https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-ambassadors/2018-April/001836.html You can also leave a note at WT:Linter if you have questions.
Thank you for all the good things you do for the English Wikipedia. Whatamidoing (WMF) ( talk) 21:18, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
Hi Hellknowz, as I understand you had approved the above bot here for taking over NoomBot to create the book report. However, the bot has stopped updating the book report and its owner Cyberpower seems to be extremely busy IRL to respond to any questions. Can you check what's the issue or guide to someone who can update about it? — IB [ Poke ] 13:43, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

Hello Hellknowz, I am writing to you to reach an agreement on the article Hypixel. In first, my edition is not disruptive, for the simple reason that I did not harm the article. About that it has no references; if they have (less the first because it would be primary source because it would arrive a YouTube link or the Hypixel forum). If you do not respond to the message, I suppose I will revert your edition. Regards. -- Furawi ( talk) 21:33, 26 December 2018 (UTC)
Hi Hellknowz. Concerning the use of the HTML tags strong and var: Generally, typeface is coded using wikimarkup. However, if the typeface has a textual meaning, it should be rendered using HTML tags (see, for example, MOS:EMPHASIS). Unlike wikimarkup, HTML tags are accessible, because the textual purpose of the typeface is communicated to accessibility tools like screen readers, and also because they are rendered by the browser, meaning users with accessibility issues can change their default rendering to make them more accessible. Concerning the use of Template:If empty, there is a balance to using templates like this (templates that substitute for everyday parser functions or magic words). On the one hand, they might save a little space and be a little easier to type and use. On the other hand, they make it more difficult to read the code because the user has to be familiar with both the parser function or magic word and the template that transcludes it, essentially hiding the code in another template. Sometimes the benefits outweigh the drawbacks, like when, in this case of this template, you have multiple, conditional "if empty" variables. But here, when you only have one variable, in my opinion, the benefits do not outweigh the drawbacks. As there is no guideline on the matter, if you feel strongly the template should be used, I won't oppose it. -- Bsherr ( talk) 17:52, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi. From now, I plan on running Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/PkbwcgsBot 8 hourly rather than once a day from now on. This is so that users who look at the ISBN and ISSN errors can find the latest information there. This will be fully automated and will run through the WPCleaner command line automatically without needing me to actually run it. Does this need a new BRFA? I will use the task scheduler so that this runs hourly. Pkbwcgs ( talk) 16:17, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi Hellknowz, I was wondering if you could share your opinion here. I feel like most of the people who are commenting there are completely unfamiliar with the magazine and that they have no idea why Velikiy Drakon uses the initialisms "ВД" and "ВD". If the vote goes negatively then so be it, but I thought that someone who actually knew about the magazine should have a look. Cheers. - Thibbs ( talk) 23:23, 15 July 2019 (UTC)

Hi HELLKNOWZ,
Thank you for responding to my post on August 2019 review of submission of 'Draft:Hero Cai'. I have seen that the key issue here is to prove that person is sufficiently 'notable'.
I have followed the links you gave and found that the wiki policy says 'Academics meeting any one of the following conditions, as substantiated through reliable sources, are notable'. And one of these conditions is 'The person is or has been an elected member of a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association (e.g., a National Academy of Sciences or the Royal Society) or a fellow of a major scholarly society which reserves fellow status as a highly selective honor (e.g., Fellow of the IEEE).[2]' [1]
Can I ask why the fellowship of the CIOL was not thought to meet this condition, while Fellow if the IEEE, which is an association for technical professionals, is? Can I assume that the CIOL, despite being the only lingiustic institution that has got chartership in the UK, is not considered as prestigious as bodies like IEEE? Would you suggest other institutions for linguists that MIGHT BE considered more prestigeous?

Hey man, so i saw that you didnt accept " /info/en/?search=Draft:2b2t_(server)". I'd like to dispute that because 2b2t is actually a very impactufl server. i assume you didnt accept it because of the first pillar? "Advertising" perhaps? because 2b2t does not need advertisements, and a server like this is very impactful and should be documented. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.47.157.99 ( talk) 21:44, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi Hellknows,
About your comment: As I commented on the help page: why is this list necessary when we have List of video game developers? I see no need to break it down by country, this only hinders navigation. The additional columns here are arbitrarily selected and ORish (number of employees in particular is completely unsourced). — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 22:42, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
Number of employees was collected from an institution called Swedish Companies Registration Office (Bolagsverket). Do you want me to refer to it in the article? How do you think the columns should be selected? You commented "ORish", what does that mean?
All the best

Hi! Are you sure that page has been accepted via AFC? Because I saw it was declined twice by User:AngusWOOF [19] and User:CaptainEek [20]. The draft was moved to the mainspace by the creator [21]. Jikaoli Kol ( talk) 05:57, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
Jikaoli Kol, creator has a conflict of interest as well. You could also send it to AFD if the company is not notable and if it still has promotional material that can't be cleaned up. AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 06:21, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
Hi there,
Just wanted to drop you a note about the CSD. It was definitely a legitimate nomination, and I came within an inch of doing it, but I just felt the references were just different enough to warrant a review. Nosebagbear ( talk) 16:45, 19 January 2020 (UTC)
Hi there, you will have seen my comments in the AFD regarding your nomination for deletion of an article. I am just contacting you regarding your other concerns regarding the category that has been created etc. In my view the category should indeed go, or at the very least be renamed. The creation of the category was clearly premature. -- Sirfurboy ( talk) 10:18, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
Recently you reverted a few of my edits citing, "Secondary reliable source needed (primary source stats should be avoided)". Can you please explain what this means? The source I used was no different than the source used in the previous "Steam Awards" citations on the very same page (except I'm using the 2019 version). If you are requiring a secondary source referencing Steam Awards, you ought to revert ALL the steam references, as people are using the steam page as the primary and only source for all of them. So, I'm confused as to why you only reverted mine.
Thanks for any clarification you can offer,
