RFCbot missed one?

See: Talk:Fifth Beatle. Unless I messed up the syntax. Could you help out a bit? Thanks! --Jayron32|talk|contribs 13:09, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

RfC not showing

I have tagged the Talk:Brazilian waxing page for RfC. But, it's not showing on the Template:RFCsoc list page. May be I didn't do it right. Could you check on what happened? Aditya 12:01, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Edit on Talk:Juris Doctor

I assume this removal was an error due to the RfC block below it...if not, it certainly shouldn't be marked minor. JJL (talk) 18:35, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

RFCpolicy list

Wikipedia_talk:Notability_(music)#Rfc:_C4_International_concert_tour hasn't shown up at Template:RFCpolicy_list yet. Anything I did wrong? Cagey Millipede (talk) 21:42, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

RfC not transcluded

See: Talk:United Kingdom. I could have got the code wrong, but I've checked it and it looks OK now. Could someone help me out please? Dan1980 (talk | stalk) 22:12, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi there

Hi there, Messedrocker, I was looking for any past article RfCs on Animal testing. Howe could I check to see if any have been done? I had a look in the Talk:Animal testing archives, but couldn't find anything. Tim Vickers (talk) 22:56, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

OK, thanks anyway. Tim Vickers (talk) 23:10, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

RFC question

I filed an RFC as seen here and it still hasn't shown up on either list. Any help would be appreciated. AniMate 04:42, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

User:RFC bot

BetacommandBot has been blocked by a dev for a week for abusing system resources Misplaced Pages:Administrators'_noticeboard#Vital_tasks. Since he'd taken over most of the RfC notifications, and RfC is an important part of the WP:DR process, can you bring User:RFC bot back online for a week to fill the gap? Thanks. MBisanz 04:57, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Featured sounds

I noticed that you have participated Misplaced Pages:Featured sound candidates in the past. There are now two candidates and the project appears to be abandoned. If you could look at the candidates and vote it would be appreciated. Zginder 18:20, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Working Group login

Hi Messedrocker, just letting you know I've sent an email (via the English Misplaced Pages email function) to you with details about your Working Group wiki login details. Be sure to change your password once you log in, for security reasons! If there's any problems with the login (passwords, username not working, or anything), fire me an email and I'll try and sort them out for you. Cheers, Daniel (talk) 04:02, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Much love. MessedRocker (talk) (write these articles) 04:19, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Discussion regarding Category:Wikipedians open to constructive criticism

Hi Messedrocker. You may wish to see a discussion regarding Category:Wikipedians open to constructive criticism, a category that you are in, at User categories for discussion (UCFD). --Iamunknown 23:28, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Much apathy. MessedRocker (talk) (write these articles) 02:53, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

User RfC bot

Hi Messedrocker (love the name!) Mangojuice directed me to your page after I inquired about a delay in the updating of listings of RfCs by the bot. The page in question is Talk:Palestinian archaeology. I'm pretty sure its listed properly. Can you do anything about the delay? Thanks a bunch. Tiamut 20:06, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

I don't know if you had a hand in fixing it, but thought I would say thanks anyway, just in case. :) Tiamut 16:00, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Thank You

Thank you for fixing my RFC Kardashev scale, it's very nice of you to take the time. I admit, I was having a bit of a time getting it to work correctly. Thanks again--Sparkygravity (talk) 04:40, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Wow the bot went off into a parallel universe huh? well thanks again!--Sparkygravity (talk) 01:22, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

New mailing list

There has been a mailing list created for Wikipedians in the New York metropolitan area (list: Wikimedia NYC). Please consider joining it! Cbrown1023 talk 21:21, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

RfC

Me and several other editors have been drafting an RfC on JzG here. We listed an effort by you to influence his behavior in the past but don't necessarily expect you to be one of the certifiers for the RfC. But, if you'd to look it over and tell us if you think anything that we listed is unfair or inaccurate before we post it, that would be very helpful. Thank you. Cla68 (talk) 01:28, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

History RfC list update?

Hi -- is the RFCBot still updating Template:RFChist list? The page hasn't been updated since the 20th, & there's been a few changes in items wanting to be listed. Thanks -- llywrch (talk) 22:44, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the update, but is that page still part of its functions? I can see that the bot is performing edits, but -- to repeat myself -- Template:RFChist list hasn't been updated in 9 days, & the RFC template has been placed on Talk:History of Sumer, but no link added (& removed from Talk:Mercia but that link not temoved). -- llywrch (talk) 23:01, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

bot help wanted

Hello, I have just noticed a lot of bare URLs at the endnotes section in the Antipsychiatry article. Do you know how to run a bot to convert them (instead of doing it manually)? —Cesar Tort 17:38, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:NotTheWikipediaWeekly

that's the label I've given to our experimental skypecast scheduled for March 4th 1am UTC (god knows what time that is for you - sorry!) - check out the page, because I've put a few details there (and been cheeky enough to note you down as a participant). I hope it works out for you to join - and I've got my fingers crossed for the technology too....

I'll be on IRC beforehand anyways to set it up etc. - and I look forward to it!

cheers, Privatemusings (talk) 09:06, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

RFC Error?!

Hey, not sure what happened here but I'm pretty sure it wasn't whatever was supposed to happen. diff Figured you should know about that. Stardust8212 04:09, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Question about RFChist

According to the history page for the {{RFChist}} template, RFC bot hasn't added anything to it since 09:45, 20 February 2008 UTC.

Talk:Pelasgians#RfC: Pelasgians Albanian section was posted about an hour ago (diff) but has not been added to the list. Any idea when it might be added? — Athaenara ✉ 23:14, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Why did you remove the RFC at Teachings of Prem Rawat?

Why did you remove the RFC at Teachings of Prem Rawat?~Yes, it is old but nobody replied so it is still pending and hence should not be removed. Andries (talk) 20:04, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

RFC's tend to run for 30 days. β 20:09, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Shall I file a new RFC or go to the arbcom? Andries (talk) 21:02, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Just put the RFC back up, and put a new date up. MessedRocker (talk) (write these articles) 21:24, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Yet another ignored request for third party

It's been three weeks or more. The bot deleted the RFC for Sexual harassment in education. This may be a good thing. By now, we've forgotton why we were arguing in the first place and the conflicting editors have wandered off. The article looks like the devil, but what the heck? Putting it back up seems useless if there is no one around who is willing to furnish a third party. How about a waiver to go into mediation? Student7 (talk) 01:33, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Go ahead. MessedRocker (talk) (write these articles) 01:40, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

RFChist?

Is the bot not handling RFChist? There are requests outstanding but nothing has been added to RFChist list for more than 3 weeks. Sbowers3 (talk) 19:19, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

RfC

I've started drafting a user conduct RfC that you might be interested in here. There's a lot of evidence to sift through and present, so I think it will take awhile to get it put together. If you'd like to participate, please feel free to do so. Cla68 (talk) 07:51, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
