Did you get approval for this bot, or did you simply add it to the list? -Frazzydee|✍ 17:50, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you've added the bot to the list on Wikipedia talk:Bots, but the main page asks that you wait a week for people to look over it until you actually run it. Please wait at least until May 11 (7 days) to get a rough consensus before running this bot. You can email me to unblock this as soon as turned it off. Sorry for this, but it was running a bit fast and interfering a bit with RC; it also seems that it doesn't have approval. Hope there's no hard feelings, but bots can sometimes be a bit dangerous :-) -Frazzydee|✍ 17:56, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Owner set interval higher, so I unblocked. Still unapproved though. -Frazzydee|✍ 18:18, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I have moved elevation (geography) to elevation, and elevation to elevation (disambiguation) (primary meaning and all that jazz). Please don't use WouterBot to disambig these anymore. Warmest regards --Neutrality^talk 21:27, May 8, 2005 (UTC)

Your edit to User:Georgia guy/Letter number combinations is incorrect. The links are meant to be for the dis-ambiguation pages themselves, not to any of the links the dis-ambiguation pages point to. Georgia guy 20:40, 21 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I noticed and was planning to revert that one, but you beat me to it. WouterVH 20:46, 21 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Automated message to bot owners[edit]

As a result of discussion on the village pump and mailing list, bots are now allowed to edit up to 15 times per minute. The following is the new text regarding bot edit rates from Wikipedia:Bot Policy:

Until new bots are accepted they should wait 30-60 seconds between edits, so as to not clog the recent changes list and user watchlists. After being accepted and a bureaucrat has marked them as a bot, they can edit at a much faster pace. Bots doing non-urgent tasks should edit approximately once every ten seconds, while bots who would benefit from faster editing may edit approximately once every every four seconds.

Also, to eliminate the need to spam the bot talk pages, please add Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard to your watchlist. Future messages which affect bot owners will be posted there. Thank you. --Mets501 05:17, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
