Old Saxony Arms
You asked me to confirm the copyright status of the file Old Saxony.jpg. I have already done this. I created it myself. WHat do you want me to do exactly? Is there a human being who can talk to me about this before arbitrary deleting begins? James Frankcom (talk) 16:37, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Re. Maurice_Ravel_1930.jpg
Hi Chris - can you restore this image. It was deleted due to being orphaned, but the image was being staged for an article that is now in place and waiting for it.--Matthewpierce (talk) 14:11, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
User:Orphaned image deletion bot
I think there should be a description of the bot task at User:Orphaned image deletion bot. --Apoc2400 (talk) 15:55, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
- Also, a link from User:AntiAbuseBot to the approval discussion would be nice. --Apoc2400 (talk) 18:46, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
I've updated the page. There is already a link on AntiAbuseBot's userpage, look in the infobox. --Chris 04:45, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

I took this picture i dont know why it keeps getting questioned, what do I need to add? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Garkeith (talk • contribs) 15:44, January 12, 2010 (UTC)
- Don't worry, You originally got that notification because the image didn't have a license tag. You've now added a license tag so everything is fine. --Chris 02:09, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

{{db-author}} deletion bot.
Hey Chris G, I saw an interesting Idea at WP:BOT and was hoping for your input. The proposal is to have a bot delete pages, tagged with {{db-author}}, given that only one user has ever edited the page. You can use the API to query for this. I would run it, but Im not an admin, and therefore not allowed to have adminbots. If you would like, I could write it for you. It seems pretty simple. Tim1357 (talk) 00:38, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
- Actually, it's over at Wikipedia:Bot requests/Archive 33#db-author bot Josh Parris 01:03, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
- Yep, sorry for the wrong link. Tim1357 (talk) 02:23, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
This redirect was deleted on Oct 30 2009, by your G8 Bot. Yetanotherredirectbot. This page pointed to a valid page. I believe your bot malfunctioned. I am recreating the page and hope your bot leaves it alonespeednat (talk) 08:30, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
- Actually, Anomalopteryx didiformis was moved around quite a bit which broke the redirect and hence my bot deleted it. However feel free to recreate the page, my bot won't delete it unless someone breaks the redirect again. --Chris 05:07, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
Animal Crossing Redirects
Recently the article Animal Crossing was moved to Animal Crossing (video game) & then for some reason Animal Crossing was deleted. As a result, every single redirect page to Animal Crossing was deleted by your bot. Now that Animal Crossing exists again, can you please undelete them & their histories?

- Pages restored --Chris 05:04, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Deleting Wikipedia Talk:ITNC
I created this page to forward to Wikipedia:In the news/Candidates as you might well think that is a "talk" page given there is discussion there. Additionally the page Wikipedia:Itnc exists (though WP:ITNC didn't). So can I block your bot from deleting it? -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 09:02, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
- To get my bot to ignore a page just add {{go away}} to it. --Chris 13:12, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks - I think it'll just ignore it now WP:ITNC exists :). -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 17:15, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
