Is Legobot editing while logged out?
See Special:Contributions/91.198.174.20. I suggest adding "assert=user" to the edit commands, which will cause it to fail if the bot isn't logged in. Anomie⚔ 00:11, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
- I added that. Thanks LegoKontribsTalkM 15:25, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Legobot and WP:VA
Greetings Legoktm, and thank you so much for setting Legobot up to update WP:VA! I have one request, if it's possible to effect; the bot currently removes , and similar templates when updating. Is it possible to check whether an article is a former GA or FA, or has failed GAN or FAC, and add that in? If not, could the bot perhaps leave the old icons be when updating? Many thanks, Skomorokh 01:14, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
GA Sweeps invitation
Hello, I hope you are doing well. I am sending you this message since you are a member of the GA WikiProject. I would like to invite you to consider helping with the GA sweeps process. Sweeps helps to ensure that the oldest GAs still meet the criteria, and improve the quality of GAs overall. Unfortunately, last month only two articles were reviewed. This is definitely a low point after our peak at the beginning of the process when 163 articles were reviewed in September 2007. After nearly two years, the running total has just passed the 50% mark. In order to expediate the reviewing, several changes have been made to the process. A new worklist has been created, detailing which articles are left to review. All exempt and previously reviewed articles have already been removed from the list. Instead of reviewing by topic, you can consider picking and choosing whichever articles interest you.
We are always looking for new members to assist with the remaining articles, so if you are interested or know of anybody that can assist, please visit the GA sweeps page. In addition, for every member that reviews 100 articles or has a significant impact on the process, s/he will get an award when they reach that threshold. If only 14 editors achieve this feat starting now, we would be done with Sweeps! Of course, having more people reviewing less articles would be better for all involved, so please consider asking others to help out. Feel free to stop by and only review a few articles, something's better than nothing! Take a look at the list, and see what articles interest you. Let's work to complete Sweeps so that efforts can be fully focused on the backlog at GAN. If you have any questions about the process, reviewing, or need help with a particular article, please contact me or OhanaUnited and we'll be happy to help. --Happy editing!

Uncategorized files not at Commons
Following up to this, could you produce another list of files? I'm working on it at User:Ricky81682/Empty files. Do you happen to know of a bot that can remove redlinks? -- Ricky81682 (talk) 02:06, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
- I removed all of the deleted files from the list, and should be able to give you a new one within the next few days. LegoKontribsTalkM 03:12, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
- Cool, thank you so much. Most of the rest will probably be red by then. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 04:30, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
- The new list is here. Have fun! LegoKontribsTalkM 04:43, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Bot request
Hello, I was wondering if your bot would be able to assist with a task related to GA sweeps. I developed a list of the GAs (from August 27, 2007; before the start of Sweeps), and since that time, many of these GAs have been delisted, deleted/merged, or been promoted to FA. I've already removed all of the FAs, but I was wondering if the bot could locate any articles that have been delisted as GAs (B class or below)? That would help us to remove articles that don't need to be reviewed and speed up the process. If this bot can assist with this (or if you know of another) can you let me know? If you need further details/clarification, I'll be happy to answer your questions. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 22:42, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry, never mind. I was able to do it with AWB. Thanks! --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 02:26, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Today the article alerts update by ArticleAlertbot for the Films project failed, though it has updated it correctly for a long time now (and ran correctly yesterday). The banner hasn't changed location, nor has the Films project code been modified. Any ideas what happened? -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 01:41, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
- For some reason it is looking for
{{WikiProject Films}}
when it should look for{{Film}}
. Wait one more day and see if it fixes it self. LegoKontribsTalkM 04:26, 24 May 2009 (UTC)- Any ideas? It's been a few days now, and it still isn't working. PC78 (talk) 11:44, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
