I just noticed this and this and this and that makes me
And just a couple days after your last mailing list announcement.
Well, Happy New Year and I hope you're doing OK. wbm1058 (talk) 00:32, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
Pursuant to your comments over at TfD, I think we should consider moving forward with mass-deletions/redirections. I was thinking of keeping {{Use American English}} and {{Use Canadian English}} separate and deleting/merging all others into {{Use British English}} or {{Use Commonwealth English}} (preferably the prior as its use is clearer). I'm not sure whether or not to keep {{Use Oxford spelling}} but it appears to serve the same use as {{Use Canadian English}}
. Of course, this further extends to the talk-page templates {{British English}} et al. What do you think? IceWelder [✉] 11:15, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
Firstly, thank you :). I was recently notified AnomieBot is now closing reviews. I'm not sure if this has been happening all along but this function seems to be working only intermittently based on the backlogs I've been seeing. THANK YOU however for this supremely useful function, and the intent behind it, as it will editors a lot of time!!
Secondly, an update request. Could you please update the way AnomieBot closes reviews, or inactivate this function until the way it works is updated. I updated the way peer reviews were closed some time ago to fix a number of errors that were creeping in and AnomieBot is reintroducing the same errors again. The new instructions are VERY similar to the old instructions but the use of templates has changed and I request you have a look and inactivate AnomieBot's closing function until it's fixed so that the errors don't proliferate again.
Thirdly, an extra feature request. Peer reviews can now be listed as pre FA reviews and these often linger for quite some time. When you have time (not urgent) I was wondering if we could work out a way not to auto close those reviews. It MAY be as simple as just not closing any review listed in Template:FAC peer review sidebar although I honestly do not have any idea if that's hard or difficult to implement :P.
Many thanks, Tom (LT) (talk) 22:40, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

.As for the notice or lack thereof, it looks like AnomieBOT replaced BU RoBOT in that task, as part of the conversation at Wikipedia:Bot_requests/Archive_73#VeblenBot that had people involved in PR at the time participating. Anomie⚔ 14:28, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
P.S. Would it be difficult for you to add peer review to your feedback request service functionality? There would be 12 possible categories. 11 are based on categories 1 to 11 on WP:PR and then a 12th category called "All peer reviews". I will populate the FRS listing at WP:FRS based on the editors at WP:PRV who nominated to be autocontacted. This would usurp the functionality provided by the now inactive User:KadaneBot and also have the benefit I can use User:Yapperbot to keep the FRS list and volunteer lists up to date. The lists need to be kept separate as one is basically a plain text list intended for people to read and find volunteers, and the other FRS list is designed for a bot to use. If possible, I think this change will help with future maintenance burden by putting FRS-type listings all the same spot using the same tools and bots.--Tom (LT) (talk) 22:49, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
Hi, not sure if I did something wrong in this one case, but I apparently assigned the wrong userid when using Unsignedhelper.js at Talk:Schutzstaffel in this edit (noticed by Diannaa and corrected in this edit; more info in this edit). I've used your script many times before with no problems, one time in which it searched >300 versions, and generated the right unsig comment. I really don't know what happened in this case. Many thanks for the script; it's great! (Adding Obenritter.) Mathglot (talk) 01:28, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
Just a quick note to say that I think you have a bug in your Bot's code – it is ignoring the presence of the {{In use}}
template and making changes. See the revision history for DR Class V 180 for details. Thanks and regards. – Iain Bell (talk) 14:35, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
Thank you for this. I did know it was a bot, but 1. wanted to keep the issue all together on one talk page, and 2. figured you had it on your watchlist (as well as it having an email so thought you'd get that notice as well). The wording (from the bot) was confusing to me, but after I posted I scrolled up and saw that "big red error" post you made to another user which helped me figure out what to do. TY for responding though. — Ched (talk) 14:42, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

I just wanted to say thank you for working on the pending changes bot for TFA. I'm sure that there are probably other things you could be spending your precious time on, but I appreciate that you took the time to help here. Mz7 (talk) 05:32, 5 May 2021 (UTC) |
...it's a good thing that Wiktionary has an entry for faux pas. I hadn't caught the circumstances, so I just pinged "the API guru". Apologies for my being a dunce, is what I'm trying to say. Cheers, Xover (talk) 16:19, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

You added - "This article includes a list of general references, but it remains largely unverified because it lacks sufficient corresponding inline citations. Please help to improve this article by introducing more precise citations. (May 2021) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)"
I've looked at Wikipedia:Citing sources" and still don't know what I am doing wrong. Could you please give me an example of how any one of the references should be changed.

Hello, when I attempt to install any of your censorship bots, it censors everything. I mean, I know that's the most effective way to make sure there is no offending content, but that makes it hard to use. Was it made by the penguin cabal, and if so, are there any other options for content censoring? Thank you :) Leapinglizards5 (talk) 11:19, 29 August 2021 (UTC) August 29, 2021
Hello Anomie,
Thanks for your note on the Hakea pedunculata Talk page. I call myself "sentient" and "botanist", but definitely a complete dunce as a computer programmer and I have no idea what you mean in your add. Please help me to understand the problem. When I look at the ABRS reference in each of the first four articles in the list, I am taken to a relevant reference. I don't see a bold red error and I don't see these articles in the Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting. Maybe if your were to explain the problem in just one article with a bit more detail (that an 8 year-old might understand), a slightly older editor would be happy to fix all the others. (Here, on my talk page or the H. pedunculata page would be fantastic.) Gderrin (talk) 00:37, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
Is it possible you can edit the bot so when it sees multiple WikiProject United States with different subcategories such as states or military that it compiles them under one WikiProject??? Bigmike2346 (talk) 16:24, 11 September 2021 (UTC)
One year! |

As far as I can see, your bot is malfunctioning, as shown by this diff. I have not re-added the blacklisted google.com/amp/, as you can see. Please fix this issue. Carlstak (talk) 00:45, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
<ref name=reese>
that contained the content of the reference, but left <ref name=reese />
elsewhere in the article, leading to a big red error (here). AnomieBOT tried to fix this by copying the content of the reference to the remaining <ref name=reese />
, but it couldn't because the URL you removed is on the blacklist. Thus it complained on its talk page for a human to fix it, most likely by replacing the remaining instance of <ref name=reese />
with a non-blacklisted reference. Anomie⚔ 01:15, 28 November 2021 (UTC)Seamless Wikipedia browsing. On steroids.
