Possible notifcation bug

I just saw this Talk:Cave_painting#File:20.2C000_Year_Old_Cave_Paintings_Hyena.gif_Nominated_for_Deletion but there doesn't appear to be any discussion of it's nomination (perhaps I didn't look in the right place?). So I wonder if the bot flagged up the image in the article incorrectly as having been nominated for deletion? EdwardLane (talk) 09:39, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Heya. It was some time ago (27 April) so the nomination was closed as keep. The nomination appears to have been for several images at once so was not listed under the image name: see here --Errant ^(chat!) 09:49, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Fair enough, thanks it was the last comment on the talk page which someone updated - I didn't notice the date. I wondered if you had any plan to automate updating the notifications (similar to the one I saw) with the result of deletion requests if it was closed. Probably tricky, but just an idea.

World War 1 Editathon

Thanks again for taking me under your wing at the session. I learned a hell of a lot and it was really satisfying being able to contribute to the project.

I looked at our page and I see that the link to the page for the pension campaigner woman points to the wrong woman so I'll try and fix that asap.

Let me know which areas of the page you'd like me to focus on, otherwise I'll do a usual random walk.

All the best, David Mcsony (talk) 14:28, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

IP block

Don't forget to block Guyovski's IP. ʝunglejill 16:50, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

It has switched already; and another admin got it. But the block should handle restricting his exact IP via the autoblock mechanism :) --Errant ^(chat!) 16:51, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

If you could see to the non-free fair use rationales, I do believe that is the only thing remaining to be done. Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 10:37, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

I'm a bit confused. This just appeared on Talk:Second lieutenant. Why now?
The post refers to "Deletion requests January 2012" - Why didn't this post appear in January 2012?
Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 13:44, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

Oh bugger. I moved the bot to a new server and I seems to have lost track of what it has done previously (I was watching out for that, but it seemed fine...) :( Couldn't say why it missed it before; probably errored out editing the talk page here. thanks for catching the issue! I stopped the bot for now. {{facepalm}} moment :S --Errant ^(chat!) 13:50, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

I assure you the world didn't end! I just got confused ... (Which, by-the-way, is not a highly unusual event. (Sadly.)) Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 14:48, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
