Hi mate, would it be possible to get you to run your calendar bot for the Portal:Australia. Thanks Cartman02au (Talk)(AU Portal) 10:51, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Where is CalendarBot
Adambro pointed me at the contributions, they stop May 29. Bring back our day-dealer! --Brian McNeil / talk 22:19, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
- Something about me migrating CalendarBot to SUL might have broken... anyways, it's all updated through June so !! enjoy! :) (→Zachary) 04:22, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
Can you give me a run down on how to create a calender on Wikinews? Kingjeff (talk) 21:47, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Sports standings
I noticed you run that sportsbot. Major League Soccer season standings haven't been updated this season and there should be 3 tables there. Scottish Premier League standings doesn't have any teams in it. Kingjeff (talk) 15:01, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] interlang link to ja.wikinews
Hello. When your bot generates en.wikinews date pages - Wikinews:2008/July/12, would you add interlang link to ja.wikinews date pages - ja:ウィキニュース:2008年/6月/12日?
ja.wikinews date page' s naming convention is [[ja:ウィキニュース:Y年/M月/D日]].
- Y - year
- M - month (1, 2, 3, 4...12)
- D - day (1, 2, 3, 4, ...31)
Thanks. --iwaim (talk) 16:58, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Crude Oil Prices
Dear Zachary, Could you please share the code you use on English Wikinews to update crude oil prices? I'd use it in the Hungarian Wikinews. Thanks, Peti610 (talk) 14:06, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Encoding error with it.RSS
Hi, Zachary! I'd like to acquaint you with an encoding error with it.RSS. First of all, there's a problem with letters like à, è, ì, etc. (often used in italian, for example: Estrazione del Lotto, martedì 29 luglio 2008 → martedì, tuesday). Anyway, the page can be opened without problem, the problem is shown only on the aggregator). A bigger problem is the page with /, such as this (should be this). Do you think there is a way to fix it? --Tooby (talk) 10:28, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
[edit] FlaggedRevs
If you have not already seen this, please look, comment, and vote both here and on bugzilla. Further assistance such as contact information for Google would be a very useful detail to share and help in petitioning for a listing in their news index. --Brian McNeil / talk 15:00, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
- Can you add this parameter to the bot for future date page creation so that it does not have to be done manually? Cirt (talk) 00:42, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
[edit] IRC bot to watch Review category
Hey there. As the brains behind the Wikilinker bot, I was wondering whether it would be possible to create a bot similar to the helpmebot in #wikipedia-en-help, that watches a category on a wiki and reports on it in IRC. In particular, I think it would be helpful if we had a bot that listed articles in Category:Review. I'm not sure if it would be better to send the output to #wikinews or one of the side channels, though. What are your thoughts? Chris Mann (Say hi!|Stalk me!) 12:36, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
- An interesting idea, would probably be run in the #wikinews-en channel, I can look into it this weekend. (→Zachary) 21:24, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Flagged Rev
Brianmc was wondering if 'CalendarBot has been updated so that it will continue to only show flagged revisions in the DPLs'? Cheers. Brian | (Talk) | New Zealand Portal 20:31, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
- I've updated the source code, so starting in September the DPLs it generates will show only stable versions. It doesn't apply to this month's pages, since they were created before we had flagged revisions, but I believe that someone has already updated those manually. (→Zachary) 21:22, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Wikilinker
Hi Zachary, for some reason Wikilinker seems to have left #wikipedia-nl. Pity... Wutsje (talk) 14:50, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
- Ah, sorry it was killed the last time the Toolserver rebooted, but I didn't notice it until today. It's back and running again. (→Zachary) 09:32, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
