Once I have created editcounteroptin.js do i have to add any code to the page itself? or is it meant to be just a blank page? Wiki ian 03:32, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

It doesn't matter what's on the page as long as it exists. Regards, {{Sonia|ping|enlist}} 03:38, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
I created the page and I'm not seeing anything new on the edit counter..... Does the new page only reflect future changes and not past changes? is there any reading material online regarding the edit counter? cheers Wiki ian 03:53, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

MPUploadBot for FP's

I'm not sure if something changed recently, but the bot is deleting the local file pages for featured pictures after being displayed on the page. Instead of deletion, it should be restoring the previous version with FP and POTD tags intact. I recently discovered we are slowly losing our index, and am working to correct it. Is there something you can do? Jujutacular T · C 18:37, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Edit count translation

Misspelling of rape?

File Copyright problem
File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Soxred93 Test Upload.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 12:58, 5 July 2010 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 12:58, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

MPUploadBot

Howdy. Is there any chance that User:MPUploadBot can check to see if the Commons Image's license exists here before it copies the image over? The reason I ask is because for about roughly 5 hours, 3 of the images on the main page ([1], [2], and [3]) had no valid license on them. The images should probably still have a license tag even though the images were all freely licensed and possibly only here for a day.--Rockfang (talk) 06:09, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

If you have a moment, could you please respond?--Rockfang (talk) 18:49, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Edit Counter showing reverts?

Hi. That Edit Counter is amazing. Is there any way it could also show how many reverts an editor has made?  HWV258.  22:04, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Edit counter: add new category "admin"

Hi, at interiot's counter there was an addional count for administrative edits (see e. g. File:Michiel1972edits.PNG). Is it possible to add this count into your counter? Gerald SchirmerPower (talk) 10:31, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

What exactly are "administrative edits"? (X! · talk)  · @612  ·  13:41, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
In the picture it's the red bar. I think Interiot has meant actions like delete a version or block an user. I can ask for that at the German Wikipedia. Best regards, Gerald SchirmerPower (talk) 10:24, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
I got a fast answer. That are the admin functions delete/undelete, block/unblock and protect/unprotect (see your box here above left). Gerald SchirmerPower (talk) 10:56, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Barack Obama approval ratings file

Hello X!, I am posting to ask you about the Obama approval ratings file on the United States presidential approval rating article. While I think you did a fine job and appreciate the work that goes into making the charts, I think the Obama chart should be uniform with the rest of the charts for the other Presidents. Both visually, and by using only Gallup weekly polls as the source for the numbers. If you could either fix your chart to reflect this, or change to the old chart for the time being, it would be appreciated. Dave Dial (talk) 19:25, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

While I do see the benefit of having uniform graphs, it is much easier for a bot to generate the line graph instead of the other type. Additionally, I personally find the "additive" style of graph to be more confusing than the line tests, but I guess that's just me. But when I get a chance, I'll try to work on a bot-friendly graph.

Errors in edit counter's Bengali localized texts

Hi buddy, I informed you about some issues of your new edit counter's localized texts. Remember? We met on IRC too about this matter. :) I am afraid, something wrong has happened. All the localized texts have changed, and turned into something that is not Bengali anymore, scrabble rather. For you information, when you launched this counter, It was me who provided the localized texts first. Then when you updated with that translations, it was pretty good. Unfortunately some days later I noticed that some texts were wrongly changed. Then I informed you about that here. We use your edit counter by default, so it is an important issue to us.

Can you let me know please, what is the problem? And feel free to ask any kind of information or assistance if you need. I will give my best. And I will be glad if you respond in my talk page, because my exam is running and I am on a rush. — Tanvir 13:24, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

If you need a fresh translation, than I can provide that here. Your choice. :) — Tanvir 13:27, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Edit counter error

When using your editcounter with user names containing spaces, the link back to the user page contains plusses (+) instead of right escape characters (for example underscore (_), i guess), and so makes the link direct to the wrong (possibly missing) page.

Encoding problem with RU translation of editcounter

Hello. The Russian language interface (example) is garbled for a couple of weeks now: trabslated parts are displayed in meaningless symbols while all non-article namespaces are displayed properly.

Edit counter

FYI, it's still showing autoreviewer instead of autopatrolled. Kayau Voting IS evil 13:27, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

What do you mean? (X! · talk)  · @943  ·  21:37, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
(talk page stalker) Kayau is referring to this. The userright "Autoreviewer" has been renamed "Autopatrolled". ~NerdyScienceDude (✉ • ✐ • ✍) 21:42, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
In that case, I can't really change it easily. In the database, it is still "autoreviewer", which is where it gets its data. It just looks like "autopatrolled" because that's what the MediaWiki page says to display. (X! · talk)  · @948  ·  21:45, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading File:Homoneura sp wb2.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. —mono 00:55, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Automated edit counter

Hey X!, I know you're busy, so by all means assign this the "when I'm in the mood" priority level! I just thought I'd let you know that your automated edit counter has a field for Igloo but doesn't seem to be recording Igloo edits. For example, I've done a lot of Igloo-assisted reverting with my alternative account (probably into the thousands), yet the counter says I've never made an edit with it. Not urgent, just thought I'd mention it. Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 02:32, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

The use of a code page for hu.conf was a wrong move. Only Unicode should be used to store localisations, because the output HTML page must be encoded in UTF-8 only (this is right, in turn, because UTF-8 is internal encoding over all Wikimedia). About a month ago, something was broken at TS and .conf files became to interpreted incorrectly. Now Soxred93 fixed it, and I suggest to restore the UTF-8 version of hu.conf.

ArticleAlertbot

Hi

Sorry to bother you but it seems that no-one has managed to get anywhere with ArticleAlertbot

There was a conversation here User_talk:ArticleAlertbot#BOT_broken_.3F and one here Wikipedia:Bot_owners'_noticeboard#ArticleAlertBot but as yet it seems that no-one has made any progress.

Can you tell me if it is easy for an admin to go to the bots page and try to reboot it?

If so how does one request that - through the toolserver admins or en.wiki admins ?

As for the actual bot itself it seems that Legoktm, as the operator from the creator/operator team of B. Woltinger and himself, has released it to others does that mean it is in the public domain now and has in effect been "released" so that someone can get to working on it ?

I appreciate that the discussions seem to involve up to five people who are "working on it" but as there is not much action I was going to approach the Toolserver admins to see if they could help and figured I would try you first :¬)

Chaosdruid (talk) 02:43, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

No, no one has the source, so no one can run it again. The toolserver admins have the source, but will not run it. The en.wiki admins have no ability to run it. It has not be released to the public if Lego sent it to a single person, and even if he released it to the public it still would not be under the public domain unless he explicitly said it was so. The toolserver admins will be no help to anyone, as they will not release the code in a user's private directory. They are very firm with that rule, and trust me: I've tried with like 2-3 other instances, and they are hard-set on this rule (understandably so). (X! · talk)  · @579  ·  12:53, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Canadian International School of Beijing doesn't violate any copyrights

For original text at our official website, please go to http://www.cisb.com.cn/page/detail_static.php?id=175&moduleid=9. We created and published this text. China Daily used, copied exactly the same our school introduction that we have in our website to their website. It's funny because now we would like to put that official introduction to our own CISB Wikipedia page and we can't because we are told we violate the copyright. I've followed the procedures with sending an email to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org and even putting permit of text use under the Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 3.0 Unported License (CC-BY-SA) and the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts) notification in my official website. But I still don't hear anything from Wikipedia. That's why I removed the copyright violation tag myself. We need to have our Wikipedia page up and running properly asap. Would you be willing to give me permission to put our school introduction text back there again? Thank you.

We've been working on cleaning up Siddiqui's copyright mess for over a year now already. :/ Anyway, this one seemed a bit odd, so I'm not entirely sure if I approached it the best way. Since Alphagamma has a confirmed sock, I went ahead and blocked that sock accordingly, creating Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of AlphaGamma1991, but I transcluded that cat to Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Siddiqui (not Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Siddiqui). I tagged Alphagamma as a sockpuppeteer, but also transcluded him to the suspected sockpuppets of Siddiqui. Does this seem like a good way to go about things? --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:49, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi. Does your lack of response mean that you think I handled it all right? If you'd rather not look at it, please just let me know, and I'll ask somebody else. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:56, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
If Alphagamma is a sock of Siddy, then ΑΓ and all his socks should be tagged as sockpuppets of Siddiqui. There is no such thing as a sub-sockmaster. :) (X! · talk)  · @823  ·  18:45, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
Okay, thanks. I'll correct accordingly. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 18:49, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Re. the rev-del

Hi. I made the mistake of checking one of his pet targets as an anon and he'd found a way around yet another block. It occured to me that he's craving a great deal of attention. My thought was to deny him the attention by simply making everything he does disappear. After roughly four years of this nonsense stretching across six internet providers and countless lost hours of admin and user time, I feel anything he does is abusive. If you feel that I was in error, please feel free to reverse the deletions. Back to my break...thanks for asking. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 08:29, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

This is another sock of Stopcyberbullying, which you blocked for abusing multiple accounts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kintetsubuffalo (talk • contribs) 05:28, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
