Re: Forgot to switch accountsNo, I didn't forget to switch accounts, and yes, I decided it would be best to make it clear that both accounts are mine. I didn't do so initially because I didn't want to cause yet more fuss – Qxz 12:21, 1 April 2007 (UTC) Talk archive headerI think it would be good to have the archiver put the {{talkarchive}} template at the top of each archive page. Sancho (talk) 16:25, 1 April 2007 (UTC) Re: Wikipedians who support HezbollahI know that. That was the reason they gave when deleting "Wikipedians who support Hezbollah". Where I come from, they call it double-standards. KlakSonnKeep it to yourself 18:19, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
Unless this account is sockpuppet or has made inappropriete edits, vandalism, trolling, personal attacks, harassment, etc., I just want to point out that I think the account creation block should still be lifted, only blocking the username, not the ability to create a new account for the IP from which the account originated from(Unless if the IP has a history of repeated malicious account creation).--U.S.A.U.S.A.U.S.A.

Bot functionalityQuestion: Do your three archiving bots need it so that timestamps are in the pages themselves? I tried to set up MiszaBot II for archiving Wikipedia:Recent additions but so far nothing has happened, so I'm wondering if it determines which comments to archive based on timestamps in the edit form, or from the page history? Thanks. howcheng {chat} 18:39, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Ralbot 05:07, 4 April 2007 (UTC) MiszaBotIII queryI have changed the arhival target in {{AutoArchivingNotice}}, from User talk:Steptrip/Archive_2 to User talk:Steptrip/Archive_3, but the bot continues to archive messages to the former target, instead of the latter ... any idea what's up / how to fix it? ~Steptrip 14:28, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
BlockYou blocked User:John A. Robinson for username. An WP:RFCN is underway so the user should be unblocked to allow them to contribute in this. If i have made a mistake please tell me. G Donato (talk to me...) 21:18, 4 April 2007 (UTC) There is an RFC discussion of your username block of John A. Robinson (talk · contribs). Sam Blacketer 21:19, 4 April 2007 (UTC) (added simultaneously with the above - sorry Sam Blacketer 21:20, 4 April 2007 (UTC))
Seems I have missed the entire discussion while asleep. If anyone still cares about my explanation, then yes - Johny the Vandal creates all sorts of usernames in the form of "John <second name (sometimes abreviated)> Robinson" and I block then routinely, pending confirmation. And the confirmation usually comes in the form of an incomprehensible or abusive {{unblock}} request. Миша13 07:49, 5 April 2007 (UTC) Administrators' noticeboard archiveHi. I've kept track of new Administrators' noticeboards archives and added {{Administrators' noticeboard navbox all}} whenever new pages are created, as well as updating the navboxes. Lately, I noticed that when MiszaBot archives the admins' noticeboards, it adds {{talkpage}} tag at the top, which is odd, since an archive is not a talkpage. However, if MiszaBot can be programmed to add {{Administrators' noticeboard navbox all}} instead of {{talkpage}}, it would save me a bit of work. --Edokter (Talk) 21:29, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
Essjay spoofsThanks for blocking 4 of those inflammatory Essjay spoofs. God, I type in two usernames of well-known admins at Special:Listusers and I have a full page of inflammatory usernames. Btw, you may want to type in your name and see what kinds of spoofs come up. ~Steptrip 23:14, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
please!Can you do my page? LazyLaces 15:33, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
Bot created archivesHi. Wouldn't it be nicer to make the bots start new archives with {{talkarchive}} instead of {{talkheader}} as they are doing now? talkheader template is usually put in articles talk pages only. Thanks. --Meno25 23:42, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
Relatively serious MiszaBot error?This archiving doesn't seem to have made it to the specified archive page... -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 00:45, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
Bot availability on other Wikis?Hi -- I edit here and on the ISFDB Wiki, and have been using Werdnabot for archiving my own talk page. I noticed your bots and was wondering if it would be possible to use them on the ISFDB Wiki. Is that something you might be interested in? If so, I can talk to a couple of folks over there and we can see if it's technically possible. Thanks -- Mike Christie (talk) 14:51, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Special note to spamlist users: Apologies for the formatting issues in previous issues. This only recently became a problem due to a change in HTML Tidy; however, I am to blame on this issue. Sorry, and all messages from this one forward should be fine (I hope!) -Ral315 You are receiving this message because you have signed up for the Signpost spamlist.

He went on a spree blanking some pages. WikipediaFan98 10:25, 11 April 2007 (UTC) AN and AN/I archiving thoughtThought you might want to comment ("vraaagh, why are you all requesting features?") at Wikipedia_talk:Administrators' noticeboard#Resolved threads archived sooner?. Just an idea I had. – Luna Santin (talk) 19:01, 12 April 2007 (UTC) I'm not sure if you're aware, but this bot seems to be down. It hasn't done anything since the 12th, and I'm pretty sure it should have archived some discussion in the main page at least. Cheers Nil Einne 19:04, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
Archiving for User:MiszaBot IIIHi, the above bot skipped archiving my talkpage. I guess thee is a error. - PatricknoddyTALK (reply here)|HISTORY 18:40, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
ChatterHi Misha! I haven't seen you around in a while—I guess the disintegration of Esperanza split up a lot of us wikipedians, eh? I thought you'd appreciate a non-bot-related thread on your talkpage (it looks like you've inherited a lot of Essjay's stress). I like the cyrillic alphabet in your signature, I've been considering using it in my own. Drop by and leave me a note sometime. Cheers, The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 14:55, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Best regards, Navou banter 22:29, 17 April 2007 (UTC) My nameIf you must edit the WikiDefcon (I simply changed another user's addition), do not do so under my name. Sigh your own name with the signature button. --Defender 911 00:14, 18 April 2007 (UTC) Talk archives and name changesHello, Miza13. Your bot recently started archiving my talk page, but I have since renamed myself from PullToOpen to Sean William. Will the bot still archive my talk page to the now-deleted User talk:PullToOpen/Archive 2, or does the target have to be changed manually? (And if so, can you please do it?) Thanks, // Sean William 02:08, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
CapncrackonfascistwheelsIsn't there a long-time sockpuppet user who used a naming scheme like this? All of his names had 'on wheels' at the end. Unfortunately, that's all I can remember... HalfShadow
Bot sourceHi, I am interested in having MiszaBot (archiver) for my own wiki, so is the source/binaries available? ffm ✎talk 00:19, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
Re:MessageI'm not sure if you missed it, but I responded to your message on the same thread a further up on this page under the same thread. I guess the signpost sort of blocked it out. Cheers, The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 00:21, 19 April 2007 (UTC) protection tagUser:MiszaBot/config has a {{protected2}} tag, which is deprecated. Would you mind replacing it with a more appropriate tag? I don't want to break anything, so I didn't change it myself. CMummert · talk 14:49, 19 April 2007 (UTC) Re:Chatter etc.Thank you! I'll let you know when we should start, probably 10 days from now. I'll notify Seivad too. The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 19:01, 19 April 2007 (UTC) Miszabot IObviously I did something wrong with trying to get Miszabot I to stop archiving Talk:Barack Obama to a full archive. Since I added the config information to the talk page to automatically shift to the next archive if the current archive is full[3] Miszabot I has been copying one section to the full archive and then the remaining sections to the new archive.
What did I do wrong? Thanks! --Bobblehead 21:11, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
Talk page management :DThanks for looking after my talk page for me! —Sean Whitton / 08:25, 20 April 2007 (UTC) Question on Watchlist sorter.Hello. I have installed the Watchlist sorter tool using monobook.js. Could you please explain how to use it? How is it different from the drop-down menu present on the watchlist? --Aarktica 19:16, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
Filtering scriptsI have another related question. Recently, I have been scanning WP:AFD pages for outdated and unclosed discussions. Seeing that these are few and far between, it is rather difficult wading through the volumes of closed discussions. In other words, this is a "needle in the haystack" issue. Do you know of any tools available to filter out closed AfD discussions, which would make it easier to see which ones are open? --Aarktica 16:39, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
Able to not do unreplied?Does you bot have a setting on whether or not to archive unreplied comments? --TeckWiz is now R ParlateContribs@(Lets go Yankees!) 19:23, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
User:Jeffrey NewmanYou have blocked my page, or one associated. Please take a look. Like User:Mstrassburg I am looking for help just to do some serious work. Please take appropriate action, for both of us. Thank you. 85.210.255.81 02:28, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks, Gurch. Please can you help, one of you. Thank you. I have little w/p ability or understanding - but may be able to contribute some content.User:Jeffrey Newman I'd be happy to 'drop' the IP number, and just be 'me' but, at least, this is a start. Apparently, I need the help of a developer. Are you able to contact one, please? Thank you. 85.210.255.81 05:11, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
In that case, I'm afraid the answer is no, we cannot retrieve a user's password nor change it (nor is it malicious intent by anyone). Possibly only a developer could, but I haven't heard that happen, ever. It's simple - the password is supposed to verify that the user is who he claims to be - if anyone could request a new password for anyone, that wouldn't be much of a security. I suggest creating a new account and setting an email for it, so that a password reminder can be sent.

Talk Contribs 00:29, 23 April 2007 (UTC) Status ScriptHello, I was looking over your status changing script and was wondering if you could get it to work with my templates. The two pages are at User:Extranet/Status and User:Extranet/Status2. The first page is the main status one, where the template that is in it ({{User:Extranet/Status2|STATUS}}) needs to be changed from "STATUS" to either "online", "busy", "away" or "offline" to make it work. The second page is the code one, where the code is available here to view. If you could possibly code a monobook.js file to fit it, it would be much appreciated. Many thanks, Extranet (Talk | Contribs) 01:22, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
TellyAddict's comment at AIV was cryptic to say the least. He said this user was a sock of "you know who" but I don't know who and there's no contributions to check. You gave him a usernameblock while I don't see anything particularly wrong with the name. Can you fill me in on the specifics behind the block? - Mgm|(talk) 09:48, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Template:RfAThank you for protecting that, although admittedly "my" version was protected (although that's the version that's been around for years), I like to think that even if you'd protected "the wrong version" I'd still be saying you made a great call. I suggest leaving it protected for at least a day, not just a few hours as it was last night. --W.marsh 18:06, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Still Archiving?Hey, just out of curiosity - are you still archiving Wikipedia:Requested templates/Uncategorized? It seems like nothing has been in a while - but at the same time, it could be that just the threads there are excessively long.danielfolsom© 15:07, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
Dear Misza! :)Dear Misza, it's so good to see you again! :) Your warm words came as a beautiful surprise, and it's wonderful to see friendly faces like you after so long. How's life been treating you since we last saw each other? I pray you're doing fine, and that your day is as happy as mine was, thanks to you. Come and visit me anytime, please, and tell me how you're doing, k? I'll be waiting for you :) Hugs! Phaedriel - 23:00, 25 April 2007 (UTC) thanksThanks for reverting that edit to my talk page and blocking that user. It seems I was on the only contribution from that use. Was I singled out? —mako (talk•contribs) 18:46, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi againHello Misha, I just wanted to let you know that I've set back my date for my RFA at the request of my coach. It'll probably be another few weeks. I hope this doesn't complicate things (or at least not on the same level as DEFCON :-P). Are you still up for being the co-nom? The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me)
Help with archive setupHi Misza, I'm attempting to implement your archive bot for my user talk page but seem to have something set up wrong. I'd like the archive files/list do be stored and displayed similar to the format on your talk page. The text/link 'Any sections older than 10 days are automatically archived here' links to User talk:Вasil/Archive where I have to manuall create links. It appears the links are auto-generated on your page. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks, Вasil | talk 01:20, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
