DYKUpdateBot (talk | contribs) (Article appeared on DYK on 3 January 2012, adding {{ dyktalk}}) You gave it to my two co-contributors, but apparently I've been overlooked. Please help. 7&6=thirteen ( ☎) 16:22, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

{{DYKmake|Article title|2=7&6=thirteen}}
, or 3) {{DYKmake|Article title|7&6{{equals}}thirteen}}
. In general, if the template is happy, the bot will be happy. What worked before: {{DYKmake|Article title|7&6=thirteen}}
will no longer work.

Hi Shubinator,
You are receiving this message either because you expressed an opinion about the proposed SOPA blackout before full blackout and soft blackout were adequately differentiated, or because you expressed general support without specifying a preference. Please ensure that your voice is heard by clarifying your position accordingly.
Thank you.

I've edited {{ DYK talk}} such that the whole date can be entered as one parameter so we can write e.g.
dyktalk|19 January 2012|entry=... that seed from an endangered ... Chrysophyllum imperiale ... has been sent to its native Brazil ...?
}}instead of
dyktalk|19 January|2012|entry=... that seed from an endangered ... Chrysophyllum imperiale ... has been sent to its native Brazil ...?
}}(of course,
dyktalk|19 January 2012|... that seed from an endangered ... Chrysophyllum imperiale ... has been sent to its native Brazil ...?
}}would also work). JIMp talk· cont 23:45, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
FYI, DYKUpdateBot did not perform the 00:00 20 January 2012 (UTC) update and provided nothing at User:DYKUpdateBot/Errors indicating a problem preventing the update. I known that there were some database problems around 16:00 or 17:00 on the 19th that affected both the English and French Wikipedias, so connectivity issues may have confused it. Based upon past performance the bot's normal recovery code should have it back by the 08:00 update. If you get a chance, please check the bot to insure no other issues. -- Allen3 talk 00:42, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
FYI,
Not sure what it means but during its 15:30 3 February 2012 update DYKHousekeepingBot essentially blanked the contents of Wikipedia:Did you know/DYK hook count. Time for two subsequent updates has passed and the bot has not self corrected, so this does not appear to be a transient communications issue. When you get a chance please take a look to see if this is an issue on the toolserver or if some type of formatting error has been inserted at Template talk:Did you know, or one if its transcluded subpages, that is causing this unusual behavior. -- Allen3 talk 16:41, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi - Could you stop back over at the talk page for this article? I don't understand the rationale for at least one of your edits. KConWiki ( talk) 20:33, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
Thank you so much for pointing out that my self-nomination of this article was incomplete. I have tried to follow the guidelines properly and hope they are now complete. Sincerely, John Hill ( talk) 22:22, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
Dear Shubinator,
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) 05:50, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
was posting odd errors, perhaps due to server problems, and failed to update around 8am UTC on 12 February. Materialscientist ( talk) 08:50, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
I saw in my watchlist that Orlady has updated manually, i.e., the bot missed the update around 16:00 17 Feb. Materialscientist ( talk) 23:31, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
