Bot Miscellania

Thanks for uploading File:Fuck userboxes.png. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 09:05, 6 March 2011 (UTC) Dear bot, in case you become self-aware and decide to check back (right after editing the page on the Turing Test) rest assured I have added a copyright tag to the image. I would have done so sooner if there was an actual explanation of how to do that on, or linked from, the file upload page. Unfortunately "you must specify the license for every image" isn't very helpful if you don't tell people how and where to tag it. I figured I should just edit the 'permission' field (makes sense, right?) but apparently I have to 'edit' the 'image' and manually add the tag. Confusing! Have a good day, don't let it get too monotonous. DubiousIrony yell 11:12, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

Nomination of 2011 Chilean pen incident for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article 2011 Chilean pen incident is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

Orphaned non-free image File:Pen heist cnn.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Pen heist cnn.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

PLEASE NOTE:

• I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions. If you have a question, place a {{helpme}} template, along with your question, beneath this message.
• I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.
• If you receive this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.
• To opt out of these bot messages, add {{bots|deny=DASHBot}} to your talk page.
• If you believe the bot has made an error, please turn it off here and leave a message on my owner's talk page.

Thank you. DASHBot (talk) 17:50, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

Template problem

Hi, User:Dubious Irony/wiki tools is currently appearing in Category:Stubs, where anyone who helps with stub-sorting will find it and be puzzled. I think there's a glitch with some templates at the moment, including {[tl|pagelink}}, and this is probably what's causing it. I'll comment that line out from your user subpage for now, with the intention of reverting once the problem is fixed (hope I remember to do so). I hope that's OK by you. PamD 07:09, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

Yes, have commented it out, and it's no longer appearing in the category. PamD 07:13, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

The problem's been fixed - see Template_talk:Ln#Stub_status_of_templates.3F, and I've undone this morning's fix. PamD 17:02, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for taking care of this, PamD! DubiousIrony ^yell 21:30, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

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.
