Improper NowCommonsBot tagging?
Your bot marked :Image:Yarlang tsango river tibet.jpg for deletion as being correctly moved to Commons, but it doesn't seem to have met the critera: the copy on Commons has a slightly different name, and the article using the image hadn't been updated. --Carnildo (talk) 22:03, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
WikiProject Physics participation
You received this message because your were on the old list of WikiProject Physics participants.
On 2008-06-25, the WikiProject Physics participant list was rewritten from scratch as a way to remove all inactive participants, and to facilitate the coordination of WikiProject Physics efforts. The list now contains more information, is easier to browse, is visually more appealing, and will be maintained up to date.
If you still are an active participant of WikiProject Physics, please add yourself to the current list of WikiProject Physics participants. Headbomb {ταλκ – WP Physics: PotW} 15:57, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

This article and its talk page were deleted with very short notice. A quick summary, the Gilbert & Sullivan (early 1900s musical comedy) people thought that the mathematical presentation of the functions was a copyright violation.
Do you have superpowers which can restore that article and its talk page? The next logical step with the article was to figure out if the LaTeX \neq was broken in my ability or at wikimedia....
Thanks -- carol (talk) 20:27, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
:It smells like Git (software) in some of the histories of the articles here, probably a great thing for software versioning and even for a group of people who are writing a text together; I am not convinced that it is a good thing for a wiki in which everyone can edit. -- carol (talk) 02:50, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Bot request
Mets, would you mind having a quick look and offer thoughts at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Botreq#Duplicate_image_bots_needed this bot request]? MetsBot does a great job of processing images already tagged as Commons duplicates; what would it take for a bot to actually tag the images as duplicates so MetsBot could process them? Kelly hi! 16:34, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

To MetsBot
Hi, I transferred :Image:Connecticut House of Representatives.jpg and :Image:Connecticut Senate.jpg to Commons. Your Bot now gives the message "...may not pass the requirements for deletion..." because of the PD-user-License I put in over there. But I had no other choice than doing this because the No-Rights-Reserved template looks like that. When I'm told to use another license I do that. So perhaps you should modify your bot under these circumstances. Regards, --Scooter (this one) 20:46, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
Well, the problem seems to be solved as the pictures are deleted here, but I really had thought you'd answer me... --Scooter (this one) 10:50, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

MetsBot not looking at source for upload
As far as i can tell
MetBot is annoying
Hello,
your bot claims that :Image:3-2-7-top.png would not be ready for speedy deletion. This is nonsense. Is there any way to stop your bot to put such stupid tags on image pages?
typo
I don't know if anyone's mentioned this before or not, but there's a very small spelling error in the template the bot leaves on various image pages (like this one, for example): {{quote|MetsBot was unable to determine if this image has compatable license information on Commons.}} Compatable should be compatible. Sorry to be a pest! Esrever (klaT) 16:52, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
:No, don't be sorry, that was my fault :-) All fixed now. —METS501 (talk) 01:34, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
Compatable :) licenses
Mets, I move some images with the {{tl|PD-USGov-Military}} tag - when possible, I make the Commons license more specific, i.e. with {{tl|PD-USGov-Military-Army}}, {{tl|PD-USGov-Military-Navy}}, {{tl|PD-USGov-Military-Air Force}}, or {{tl|PD-USGov-Military-Marines}}. Could MetsBot treat those as compatible? Thanks! Kelly hi! 01:54, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
:Sure, no prob :-) —METS501 (talk) 02:33, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
Image deletion notices
Your bot is saying things are ready to be deleted (like here) when the name on commons is actually different to that on Wikipedia, and not all the articles have the new location. As a result, the redlinks are being automatically removed from articles, and the image lost. Maybe the bot could check (or say in the green-box to check the 'what links here')? Cheers, Ian¹³/t 12:35, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
Renaming images & File extensions
Would it be possible to change the name of an image? I don't see a move tag on a single image, and if I were able to change the names it could speed up the process of having some of them transferred to the commons. For those I don't feel like sending to the commons, they wolud just be improved in other ways. ----DanTD (talk) 22:14, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Metsbot spelling error
Talk page moved to Commons?
Dear Mets,
your talk page is showing up in :Category:All images on Wikimedia Commons, can't seem to fix the problem myself, could you have a try?

[[:Image:Western gull chick.jpg]] - the bot is saying credit is not given when it is
It says Sabine's Sunbird isn't being credited when he clearly is - this is what the CommonsHelper always adds. Any idea why it's doing this? Richard001 (talk) 05:55, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
{{[[commons:Template:JewishEncyclopedia|JewishEncyclopedia]]}}
Hi, could you please fix the bot's logic so that the JewishEncyclopedia license tag on Commons is seen as a subset of (i.e. compatible with) {{tl|PD-US}}. (See :Image:Amun5.jpg, for example). Thanks, Storkk (talk) 09:11, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
:Also, {{GFDL-user}} is compatible with {{tl|GFDL}}. :) --Storkk (talk) 09:15, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
:{{East German Post}} is essentially {{PD-GDR stamps}} . Would you like me to continue telling you about compatibilities as i run across them, or is this essentially useless information? Cheers, Storkk (talk) 11:32, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free media (Image:Hamid mir.JPG)
25px Thanks for uploading :Image:Hamid mir.JPG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:04, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
Polar coordinates, Centrifugal and Coriolis terms
"Brews ohare" introduced this paragraph. It is similar to my "Mechanics" of "20:32, 23 July 2008" that I removed "20:46, 27 July 2008" as I agree with "Mets501" that this does not fit here. The interpretation of these terms as "virtual forces" should be by setting up the physical "equation of motion" in a rotating 3-dimensional coordinate system. And if these physical concepts should be discussed here at all it would be more important to point out that
is the angular momentum (per unit mass)and that the time derivative of the angular momentum is the torque.

Metsbot needs to provide more informative messages.
I've just seen a message "Image:Vertebrate n octopus eyes.png meets the criteria for deletion" - and similar messages for about 6 other images I've uploaded in the last moth. I turns out that the reason is transfer to Commons. I suggest that Metsbot needs to provide more informative messages. -- Philcha (talk) 21:34, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

My Family Feud userbox
I was wondering, I recently created a new userbox at {{tlu|User:Andros 1337/Family Feud}}. However, apparently, it has gone unnoticed. I even created a category at :Category:Wikipedians who like Family Feud. I also added it to User:UBX/Userboxes/Media, but still, I am the only user who has it on his/her userpage. Is there anything that I did wrong here? Hopefully you can find a solution to get make it more visible to other users. I understand that the current popularity of Family Feud is not as great as Wheel of Fortune or Jeopardy!, however, there is no way that I am the only Family Feud fan on Wikipedia.

MetsBot is messed up...
Userbox onemanonewoman hijacked
The userbox UBX/onemanonewoman was altered by User:Waraji, a new user ID created at 14:35, 7 November 2008, only a few hours before the userbox was altered at 21:27, 7 November 2008, perhaps for the specific purpose of hiding the identity of the individual. The userbox was altered by Waraji to substitute the previous non-sexual image with a pornographic image illustrating intercourse. Given that the purpose of the userbox is about marriage, and not sex, this was likely the action of someone not satisfied with the outcome of Proposition 8 in California. I removed the porn and reverted it to the male/female symbols. -- btphelps (talk) (contribs) 19:17, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

''Signpost'' updated for November 17, 2008 and before.
Because the Signpost hasn't been sent in a while, to save space, I've condensed all seven issues that were not sent into this archive. Only the three issues from November are below.

I dunno if this has come to your attention but I am sure that [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Portal:India/Quiz/Archive1&diff=133576093&oldid=126814015 this result] was not the intent of the bot. Could you pl. fix it? TIA. --Gurubrahma (talk) 10:56, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

RE:Bot usage training?
Hi,
Previously, I've been turned down for approval of bot usage for valid reasons. Since you have commented on [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Bots/Requests_for_approval/Wiki_Raja&diff=156607691&oldid=156604669 this page], would it be possible if you could train me on how to use a bot for the betterment of Wikipedia articles?
