Tawker is taking a short wikibreak and will be back on Misplaced Pages soon.

Ok, the bot takes care of almost everything I do, I'm swamped with work right now. I'm outta here. If you need anything urgent, email me. -- Tawker 01:03, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

re: Unicornscan article deletion

I noticed that you have deleted the Unicornscan. Could you please point me to some justification of this?

Continuing the discussion...

On your talk page this time. You stated: "your current vote likely will confuse the hell out of a lot of users..." How many users who voted support actually understand the C# code TawkerBotTorA is written in ? Jcam

Retrieval

Would it be possible to retrieve the article somehow? I couldn't figure that out from the deletion history. Thanks

no offence

Are you a wiki freak???!?!? Your making me scared!

NO OFENCE!

Vandalbot mistake

Hello! The vandalbot tagged me as a vandal by mistake; I think that it may be because I forgot to sign a comment on WP:AIV but other than that I am pretty sure that I am not a vandal! (aeropagitica) 20:45, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Benton Academy

Sorry - I'll fix according to your comments.

Why was this deleted???

I did not have time to add the hangon tag to this page after it was marked. I had made links from the Benton, Mississippi page (the reference was there, I just added link capability. I was also referenced under [[List of high schools in Mississippi ]]. Again I just added the link ability. I seem to remember two links being a qualifying parameter. I also have about 200 words of text to be added. There are several additional schools in the same catagory listed on Misplaced Pages indluding Trinity Episcopal Day School, Southaven High School, Jim Hill High School and several others.

Check other modifications by same user with bot

Is there any way you could do this? Often, a user who had a change reverted by the bot also performed many other vandalizations. If the bot could check through the user's edits, it would help clear out vandalism even faster.

Re: Wii

Why did you unprotect the page?

Despotism

I am tens of millions of people. You block one IP, I come back with another. You block that one, I come back with another. Just drop the facade and block everyone, or I will never go away until there is justice, and your people have decided against that option, so I will never go away.

Not a vote

Please check the provided link to understand why I wrote the statement. Please, I don't enjoy being accused. -Patstuart 18:06, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, didn't mean to bite. Just got a little frustrated. -Patstuart 18:15, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Arg

Ok, your User page has bugs. Lots of bugs. Many, many bugs. However, we can't fix them, because you fully protected your page. Maybe you might revise your user page? -Slash- 05:00, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Proposed new "how to get started writing a bot page" - request for comments

I think there is confusion on how to go about starting a bot (eg here and here) and there is no wikipage covering this, the main bot page talks only about policy, not avenues for getting started, how to make a bot etc. I have made a suggestion that a howto page be established and, as a frequent editor helping out with bots, I would appreciate your comments. Many Thanks - PocklingtonDan 07:56, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Frame Technology got speedied?

Hi there, I put a request for speedy deletion for the Frame Technology Coporation redirect to the Frame Technology page -- and see that just a couple of hours later, it was removed. Much more surprising: the Frame Technology page it pointed to was also deleted (for being non-notable.)

This surprises me for a couple of reasons -- first, there was no nomination to do this, so no chance for anyone to object. Second, Frame Technology was definitely notable for its time. It was responsible for Frame Maker, arguably a very significant application in the history of desktop publishing (eventually acquired by Adobe.)

Could this please be restored? It was never my intent to suggest that the article itself be removed, just the redirect. Thanks, --NapoliRoma 04:51, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Can't speak to restoration or not, but as the name suggests, speedy deletions don't require nominations, they may be deleted by any administrator on sight, provided they meet the criteria. CSD tags are for the benefit of non-admins, who don't have the ability to delete on sight, but must notify an admin; tagging is indeed a notification matter, but it's a notification that the page should be deleted by the first person who comes along and can, not that the deletion needs to be discussed. Hope this helps with understanding why the page was deleted without tagging. Essjay (Talk) 05:09, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

OK, thanks -- I hadn't understood that nuance.

(It strikes me that as a rule, non-notability is an easy one to misjudge unless you have encyclopedic knowledge of the area in question, and thus should only be a criterion for plain-old deletion candidacy, not speedy deletion.)--NapoliRoma 06:00, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
