ConfirmAccount extension
Hey :). You're being contacted because you are involved in the ACC process, or participated in the original discussion in '08 about the ConfirmAccount extension. This is a note to let you know that we are seeking opinions on switching this extension on, effectively making the ACC process via the Toolserver redundant. You can read all the details here; I would be very grateful if people would indicate how they feel about the idea :). Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 13:16, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

ClueBot NG
Hello!
Is this true? I was just going to revert it but thought I'd ask first as I know some of ClueBot's people forget to log in when making edits ;p--5 albert square (talk) 23:59, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
- Rawr, sadly it is true and you can blame Ryan Lane for this one... He broke all of labs... Anyway, I'm sure that edit was Damian (like you said, not logged in...), he'll probually update it when labs is back working - Rich(MTCD)T|C|E-Mail 00:03, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
- Aha, lol I did wonder. God knows how you break the labs, so does this mean that none of the ClueBot's are active?--5 albert square (talk) 00:10, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
A lot of Reported and Sending to Review Interface (revised)
Hello.
I only received notice of changed watch page today, so that is why I am replying just now.
Regarding User_talk:ClueBot_Commons/Archives/2012/February#A_lot_of_Reported_and_Sending_to_Review_Interface:
- you said "The two interfaces only send data between each other now and again";
- but I said earlier "Why bother do the same 2 entries every day".
Notice that I have used the phrase/expression "every day", because, at the time, that is what I have observed/watched/read.
So, the result of this is that, every day, 2 entries were added, which, in the end, provided the same result as the day before, so, I believe this to be "unnecessary overhead in each page of a false positive".
I am explaining this, not as criticism, but as just an attempt to improve the reading of each false positive.
Keep up the good work. Mrmagoo2006 (talk) 00:12, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
