BenjBot

Just wondering what software BenjBot uses - pywikipediabot? ··gracefool |☺ 22:14, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Yeah, I just use pywikipediabot. So far I have only used the solve_disambiguation.py script, but maybe someday I'll use another one. If you want to run a bot, make sure to get permission at Wikipedia:Bots Benjamin Goldenberg 23:06, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)

So now is every mention of a Roman Catholic cardinal given a highlighted link? What if the link is utterly irrelevant to the entry subject? If you link eveything, then the useful links disappear into the background noise. Try using "What links here" for your birth year... Wetman 06:04, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I did not create any new links when disambiguating Cardinal. I only piped the links that referred to a catholic cardinal to Cardinal (Catholicism). Nevertheless, I think that it is appropriate to link to Cardinal on most articles that refer to Catholic cardinals. The Catholic meaning of Cardinal is a very specific one, and many people, (including me), do not know the specific meaning. I think that these links are relevant to the content as stated by the guidelines on Wikipedia:Make_only_links_relevant_to_the_context. Benjamin Goldenberg 18:23, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Hi, I've marked BenjBot as a bot since there were no objections on Wikipedia talk:Bots. If you ever need the bot flag removed, please ask at meta:requests for permissions. Angela . 19:36, Sep 19, 2004 (UTC)

The Humungous Image Tagging Project

Hi. You've helped with the Wikipedia:WikiProject Wiki Syntax, so I thought it worth alerting you to the latest and greatest of Wikipedia fixing project, User:Yann/Untagged Images, which is seeking to put copyright tags on all of the untagged images. There are probably, oh, thirty thousand or so to do (he said, reaching into the air for a large figure). But hey: they're images ... you'll get to see lots of random pretty pictures. That must be better than looking for at at and the the, non? You know you'll love it. best wishes --Tagishsimon (talk)

Bot activity

I was going over the list of bots and noticed that BenjBot (talk · contribs) has not edited in a very long time. Is this bot still active and if not, would you object to it being de-flagged? Please post your comments to Wikipedia_talk:Bots/Requests_for_approval#Dead_bots since this is a rather widely-posted message. MBisanz ^talk 06:39, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
