Wikisource archiving

Misza, would you consider either bringing your archive bots over to the English Wikisource or providing the code?--Doug. 11:57, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

Turning off the bot

How do you turn off the bot? On pages like that have little activity, the talk page will quickly become empty. An empty talk page does no good for the reader's ability to know what the editors are thinking. That defeats the purpose of retained information in a wiki.

Yes, I know it is in the archive, but I expect few people will dig that far. Tom Butler (talk) 00:10, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

The page won't empty because there is a parameter set to keep 4 threads minimum. With 15 pages of archives and a search box, I don't see a problem.

Archiving

Please will you help http://en.wikipedia.org/User_talk:Birdstothewind set up archiving. — Preceding unsigned comment added by The.aviation.expert (talk • contribs) 14:13, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Has this user read and tried the instructions? Have they indicated that they wanted their talk pages archived?

Archived Discussion archived again today?

Two editors asked me about a discussion which was archived some weeks ago. I know because I had to ask someone to find it for me. Now that they have mentioned here: http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_comment/La_goutte_de_pluie - I went to that archive and noticed that it seems to be dated only a few days ago. I might be incorrect and am reading an archiving of a later discussion but it still comes back to the earlier archived discussion here: http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard/Archive130#Death_of_Caylee_Anthony:_Alleged_defamation_by_WP:RS . Since the RFC first mentioned is about an Administrator, I just wanted to check that it has not been touched since the earlier archived date. This is not an inference to you or anyone else in any way. Just a curious thing which I noticed and would ask for clarification on the process. I "might" want to archive some of my own discussions but have not yet decided. Thank you. Mugginsx (talk) 19:31, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

The archive itself has not been tampered with and you can see that for yourself in its history. If you have reason to believe that something has been altered in the original thread before it was archived then I would suggest that you search the history of Misplaced Pages:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard while it was still posted there.

What I recall you asking about relative to the archives is here in this page's archives. I may be misunderstanding but have you confused the two of these? Hopefully helpful,

Thank you. I understand now. Mugginsx (talk) 18:40, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

Just letting you know that the bot appears to have stopped archiving at Misplaced Pages:Mediation Cabal/Cases. -- Scjessey (talk) 22:01, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

Bot stalled?

Can anyone see what's wrong on Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Plants? I installed the bot a few days ago but as of this morning it still hasn't run.
