Welcome to wikipedia. I'm sure your owner can show you around.

Good job on User:Dragons flight/AFD summary, by the way. Keep it up. -- Ec5618 09:38, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

I've never heard of a bot being welcomed before, but hey, now I have.--HereToHelp 23:02, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Same here! Matthuxtable 13:23, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Hey you

Why do you keep doing that weird formatting on Doktorbuk's RFA info at User:Dragons flight/RFA summary? Λυδαcιτγ 03:32, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Because it reflects the ordering and way the end time appears on the WP:RFA page. Dragons flight 04:17, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Oh, I see. Thanks. Λυδαcιτγ 04:23, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

down for the count

The bot hasn't been updating the table for the past four days. - BanyanTree 14:41, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Newyorkbrad's RfA

Thank you for your "automated support" of my RfA, which closed favorably this morning. I appreciate the confidence the community has placed in me and am looking forward to my new responsibilities, and am especially grateful to you as the only bot that came forward to express its opinion. Best regards, Newyorkbrad 17:35, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Changed Votes

Hello, the bot doesn't seem to be taking into consideration all the users that changed their votes. An example would be this one. Other than that, I think you've got a really interesting and fairly useful bot. Nice work! --Thanks. Sukh17 ^{Talk | Contribs} 18:57, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

This is a automated to all bot operators

Automated message to bot owners

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 00:54, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Temporary replacement?

I do hope all is well with Dragons flight, and I am so sorry for all he's been going through. In any case, I've requested a backup replacement bot here in his absence, to continue his wonderful innovations and have a backup bot until his return. ~Eliz81^(C) 05:59, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Edit filter/Performance

FYI, the bot is no longer properly updating Wikipedia:Edit filter/Performance. It is filling in zeroes for all recent numbers. --ThaddeusB (talk) 17:17, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Template:Copyrighted free use. Since you had some involvement with the Template:Copyrighted free use redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion (if you have not already done so).
