Do you approve of this edit request?

I generally avoid templates all together. I'll let someone with a better understanding of templates review and comment. Operator873 ^connect 18:58, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Main Page

Is there a reason your bot is not archiving the talk page? There are conversations over a year old on it. It was being archived by Sassobot and then got archived once by my bot prior to the blocking. Can you enable your bot to run on it please so it can resume running? Settings were changed per consensus so it is ready to go for archiving. Thanks, and be well! - PDL^{Talk to me!}_{Please don't eat da 🐑!} 05:46, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

@PotsdamLamb: Because the bot is not currently approved to archive in namespace 1 (Article talk). You're welcome to begin a proposal to have the bot archive in namespace 1 or specifically the Talk:Main Page, but I'm not sure if it would pass. Operator873 ^connect 22:28, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

@Operator873 Even though it was a drop in replacement for mine which was a drop in for Sassobot? I can start it though. Thanks, and be well! - PDL^{Talk to me!}_{Please don't eat da 🐑!} 22:30, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

@PotsdamLamb: on the approval page, please note the section that says Archive user talk pages where the has been placed and the template does not disallow bots or only allows Sassobot. as well as the 2nd item, Possess the capability to archive project/Wikipedia namespace pages as requested by the community.. So far, the community has only requested the bot maintain WP:ST and the sysops asked for our pages to be maintained. Whatever was in YOUR proposal does NOT apply to anything my bot does.

It wasn’t on my approval. It was from yours where it was stated

Approved for trial (50 edits, and only with Pywikibot 7.6 or newer). Bot873 should respect all existing restrictions (across all namespaces) for the time being. --Chenzw Talk 04:33, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

However, as I read further down through the clarifications, I realized that part was taken out and set only for User talk pages. I’ll go ahead and start the request on Talk:Main Page and put the notice on Simple Talk. Thanks, and be well! - PDL^{Talk to me!}_{Please don't eat da 🐑!} 22:42, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

@PotsdamLamb: Yes, the bot was given approval to operate under the conditions I specified in the bot description. You can't take permission to do item 1 and 2 and assume it means you can do 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, etc. A bot may ONLY operate on the conditions specified by the operator. Your interpretation of that policy being quite lax is disturbing. In case you maybe misunderstood the blocked quote you provided, Chenzw was further clarifying that the bot should always respect restrictions, no matter where they were.

As I stated as I read further down that is when I saw what it was approved for and what it was not approved for. It was a lack of fully reading it before I made the statement to you. I am not sure how you find that disturbing as it was a mistake on my part for not reading through the entire BRFA. Apologies for that. I’ll do better by you next time.

User:Immanuelle

Hi there Operator873. This user is still having issues with article creations. This includes drafts in their user space and other items they are making. They are populating and transcluding a lot of templates, which I was able to help them eliminate them. One error category linked back to 44 of their items. I just had to edit an article Watazumi Shrine to take out a lot of the issues that have been discussed a few times with them by various individuals, including admins. It is probably not helping either that a user with only a couple of months on this wiki is offering to move Immanuelles' pages to main space and saying they are "of publishing quality" (see User talk:SurferSquall#Issue with Nanba Shrine. I have had to edit a few of the users articles to remove issues that they have had when it comes to the mainspace. I will leave it up to you for action, but I wanted to make you aware since you banned them 2x from editing main space. This is another one [1] that has issues that the same user published for the editor, with the same mistakes. I have not made any corrections to it yet and will await your advice. Thanks, and be well! - PDL^{Talk to me!}_{Please don't eat da 🐑!} 06:05, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

@PotsdamLamb I apologize for this again. I didn't realize they were only a new user, so that does make me more wary of their judgment on them being of "publishing quality". I had thought that they were a pretty experienced user who knew this wiki very well. Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (please tag me) 06:42, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

I did get permission, but I am made a bit worried about this situation. Here are all the articles he moved

• Izumo clan
• Kasuga-taisha
• Kamayama Shrine
• Watazumi Shrine
• Kō Shrine
• List of Toki Pona words
• Atsuta Shrine
• Nanba Shrine
• Nanba Yasaka Shrine
