If I leave a message on your talk page, I'll keep your talk page on my watchlist until you reply (for a few days, at least), so you can reply here or on your talk page as you prefer. If you use a {{talkback}} template here, please sign it so the archive bot will archive it.

For other discussions, there's no need to ping me if I've edited the page or section you have posted to; I'll be watching those pages for a week or so.

Reminder to participate in Wikipedia research

Hello,

I recently invited you to take a survey about administration on Wikipedia. If you haven’t yet had a chance, there is still time to participate– we’d truly appreciate your feedback. The survey is anonymous and should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement.

Take the survey here.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team

Your bot

Your bot account just posted a GA review notice on a redirect page; I’ve moved it to the correct page. Might suggest reprogramming it so it doesn’t post to redirects?? Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 03:52, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I'll look into doing that. EF5, see above -- do you want me to move your GA statistics under your old username to your new name? Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 09:48, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. E_F⁵ 18:43, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done. The next time the stats update they should show your new name instead of the old one. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 23:10, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ChristieBot

Appears to have ceased operations. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 12:21, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I see the crashes but can't look at the error file or connect for about eight hours. Hawkeye7, you were kind enough to post the tail of christiebot-gan.err for me a while back, can you (or any TPS with toolforge access) do so again? The tool is called ganfilter. If we're lucky it'll be a malformed GAN template that is causing the crash, meaning it can be fixed without waiting for me to connect to toolforge tonight.

The part from "During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred" then repeats over and over. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 17:07, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Hawkeye; I will have to look at this tonight. I've no idea what's causing this. I will probably have to post to VPT to see if anyone knows if something has changed in the environment. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 17:09, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Charles Brenton Fisk

Hello, a year ago you reviewed my article Charles Brenton Fisk. Since then, my English has improved, and, per the review, I copyedited the article heavily, as well as performing spotchecks. Accordingly, I have resubmitted it for GA review. In addition, your feedback was helpful on writing another article of mine, which became my first Good Article. This is more of a note on re-submission than a request for review, though I would still certainly appreciate it if you reviewed it. Much thanks, Ca ^{talk to me!} 05:10, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations on getting your first GA promoted! I am busy at the moment and not currently doing GA reviews, but when I do start doing them again I'll have a look to see if your nomination is still waiting for review. Good luck with it.
