Hi there - yesterday CydeBot went down (turns out lightning knocked out the power), and after a little while AvicBot's function for processing CFD/W was enabled - yet, even though AvicBot continued doing other tasks, it never processed anything at CFD/W. Thought you might want to know something's apparently up. - The Bushranger One ping only 18:37, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Backstage at the Smithsonian Libraries is part of Wikipedia Loves Libraries 2012, the second annual continent-wide campaign to bring Wikipedia and libraries together with on-site events. Running this fall through October and November, libraries (and archives) will open their doors to help build a lasting relationship with their local Wikipedian community.
Organized by Wikimedia DC, this event will take place on October 12, 2012, and will include new editor training, a "backstage pass" tour of the National Museum of Natural History, and an edit-a-thon. Everyone is welcome to attend!

Hi Avicennasis! Are you interested in being the Online Ambassador for any classes this term? We've got a few classes that are looking for ambassador right now (Canada, US), so if you're up for helping any, please do! Let me know if you have any questions, or if you'd like me to pick a course for you.--Sage Ross (WMF) (talk) 14:13, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

If the answer to these questions is yes, then please read the reviewing instructions and donate a little of your time to helping tackle the backlog. You might wish to add {{AFC status}}or{{AfC Defcon}} to your userpage, which will alert you to the number of open submissions.

Hi, Avicennasis. Wanted to run an idea by you. At CAT:UAA, regular practice there is to remove accounts under two conditions: (1) no edits or log entries by the user in the last seven days, & (2) the category (and thus the username warning) has been on the user's talk page for more than seven days. Right now all of these removals have to be done manually, which is really time-consuming. I figure this is something that could be fairly easily automated by a bot. Is this something that you might be willing to code AvicBot to do? It would be really appreciated. NTox · talk 16:06, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

The are two bots reverting each other at Wikipedia talk:Sandbox. (see en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Sandbox&action=history) I am going to leave a {{Please see}}onHazard-SJ (talk · contribs)'s talk page so that the two of you can work on a solultion. – Allen4names (IPv6 contributions) 17:35, 15 October 2012 (UTC)

Facepalm the problem is that there is no standard on what should be on each sandbox page. There should be an agreed upon standard, like a subpage, for each one. I'll have to take a look at this later... Thanks for pointing this out. Avicennasis @ 08:37, 2 Cheshvan 5773 / 08:37, 18 October 2012 (UTC) Facepalm from me too: the bots have also been conflicting on the templates x1 through x9. I have disabled the task for my bot at the moment to prevent this continuation (well...it affects all sandbox edits, including WP:SB (well LSBII is up now), but...). If the need arises or a conclusion is met, please notify me. Also, feel free to re-enable my bot by changing User:Hazard-Bot/Check/Sandbot back to "enable" if needed/if conflicts are resolved etc. LSBII might be down soon, considering the TS account hasn't been renewed.

There is currently some concern amid a few editors over this user: User talk:Felipito1.966 A quick look at their talk page and contributions shows that they seem only concerned with converting everything to UK English and metric, regardless of other opinions, original format, and even the accuracy of such changes.
This behaviour has been going on since the editor first arrived - does this qualify as LTA? I haven't raised it as an LTA issue yet - thought I'd ask first.
Thanks. Chaheel Riens (talk) 06:47, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

Please join Wikimedia DC and four other local media nonprofits—the National Press Club's Young Members Committee, 100Reporters, IRE and the Fund for Investigative Journalism—in winding down another year with a night of well-mannered frivolity.
The festivities will take place on Friday evening from 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM in the Zenger Room on the 13th Floor of the National Press Club, located on 529 14th Street NW, near Metro Center. There will be meat and vegetarian appetizers as well as a cash bar with specially reduced drink prices all night long. In addition, we will be exhibiting the finalists of the Wiki Loves Monuments photo contest at the event.
Hope to see you there! Kirill [talk] 04:40, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
