Many links bg:Ad interim, en:Ad interim, id:Ad interim, it:Interim, no:Interim, pt:Ad interim, sv:Interim correspond de:Interim (article on the Latin phrase). More fr:Intérim and simple:Interim. --Dr Jorgen (talk) 17:15, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, what exactly is going on at the revision history of Goodbye Lullaby? Mjbmrbot adds a foreign article, Wikitanvirbot modifies the entry, then later removes it, and now Emausbot is re-adding it. I'm trying to catch you before Wikitanvirbot modifies-then-removes this article again. It's just something I noticed, it doesn't really affect me personally. Thanks! – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 06:09, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- No, it's not a bot war. An article was created on fawiki, and interwiki was added on enwiki page by Mjbmrbot, then the fawiki article was moved, so WikitanvirBot updated that. Later an admin deleted that article, so WikitanvirBot removed the link from enwiki page. Later it was re-created, so Emausbot added that again. That's it. It's just impact of their rust updating, nothing else. No war. :) — Tanvir • 17:45, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Excellent. My apologies for misunderstanding the situation. : ) – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 01:57, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- No problem at all bud. :) — Tanvir • 06:22, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Wikitanvir, Your bot caused a problem on a template on nl-wiki: [1] We want it the way it is, and do not want to change it. Please do not use your bot on templates on nl-wiki any more, unlesss you solve this issue first. Several templates and pages in the Wikipedia namespace work this way. Thanks! Greetings - Romaine (talk) 23:57, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I stopped this bot to work on projects pages few days ago, so won't happen that again I hope. Thanks! — Tanvir • 06:20, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Please stop. Continuing to remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as your bot did to Wikipedia:Book sources, without resolving the problem that the template refers to may be considered disruptive editing. Further edits of this type may result in your bot being blocked from editing Wikipedia. (via WikitanvirBot) ––虞海 (Yú Hǎi) ✍ 12:44, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- That was 2 days ago, the bot doesn't do that now. Thanks for your notification though. :) — Tanvir • 14:43, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

[2] This is just one bot edit that wants to join two different places with interwiki's. Could you fix it, there are two Kapits, one in Europe the other in Asia. Thnx in advance, Leo db (talk) 20:55, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure exactly why, but this edit seems to have broken the article. I am reverting it. Sławomir Biały (talk) 01:07, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Ah... It seems to be an intermittent server-side software glitch. Sorry. Sławomir Biały (talk) 01:44, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Possible, but that was a very tiny create from an IP so, that looks suspicious to me. If the use of {{delete}} was improper then you can simply remove that, as another used did so in this case, also improved that article a bit. :) — [ Tanvir | Talk ] 02:46, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
What is going on here:
Sanya3 / WikianvirBot and then
WikianvirBot / Luckas-bot?
Hi,
The bot just added another interwiki language to a page I wrote, simple:Le Monde's 100 Books of the Century.
Your bot, and probably others, do a nice job listing the languages alphabetically, by name, rather than by 2-letter language ID.
But they always alphabetize "English" in Simple English as though it is a foreign language.
I think Simple English should list English before the foreign languages, in the same way that Norwegian (Nynorsk) lists Norwegian (Bokmal) before the languages that are actually foreign.
What do you think? Varlaam (talk) 22:49, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hi! The edits in de.wikipedia ([3]) are false. A Carnet (DE) is a Carnet (EN) and a Carnet ATA (DE) is a ATA Carnet (EN), Same in NL and other Wikis. Please stop these "Corrections". --Lkl ★ 08:23, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- They're working for me. I think Biblbroks is concerned because the foreign-language articles are possibly POV (treating Kosovo as a country rather than as a disputed territory). But surely that is a matter for de.wikipedia etc., not here. Bazonka (talk) 09:40, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, please stop your bot from inserting de:Polly on Swedish Wikipedia, the article on German Wikipedia is about what Polly can mean, and the article on Swedish Wikipedia is about the Nirvana song. Regards, Markmc (talk) 02:48, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi ! Please stop on fr:Polly on French Wikipedia, too !! Starus (talk) 03:06, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Hello, it's not possible from my side to make the bot not to edit on a particular page, but you can do that using {{nobots}} template. And this interwiki inserting is not the bot's fault. Someone inserted wrong interwiki in any of the linked article and the bot followed that. If you can correct those links, the bot won't do that. But also, before correcting please use {{nobots}} in all of the linked article, so the bot will not add those links within your correction procedure. Thanks! — [ Tanvir | Talk ] 04:03, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
... the main problem is that the bot "fixes" it too fast... If it would check every two hours, everything would be fine...--Müdigkeit (talk) 04:26, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- That's why I said to use
{{nobots}} within all the linked articles. Bots using Pywikipedia does not edit on those page which as {{nobots}} in it. So, first you added this tag on all those articles, then you correct everywhere, then remove the tags. Everything is fine. :) — [ Tanvir | Talk ] 04:33, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Bots are here to make work for the humans easier not the other way around. Your suggested proceeding would increase the needed edits by a factor of three. Please program your bot in the way, that it don't react so fast to changing interwikis and all problems are solved. --Engie (talk) 16:58, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Sorry, I cannot make change the edit rates where there are other good ways to fix this issue. And it's editing rate is completely acceptable and fair. As you can see the edit rates of this bot is 2-3 edits per minute, which is not that fast. :) — [ Tanvir | Talk ] 10:41, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- The problem is not the edit rate of your bot. The problem is the fast reaction to changes in the interwiki structure. Here and here your bot acts in less the one minute after my correction, thats much to fast. Wait one hour or so, and there is enough time to fix all links in all languages. --Engie (talk) 16:51, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- If the bot does this again in de, it might get blocked.--Müdigkeit (talk) 21:44, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- First, I do care to solve this issue, but why can not you use {{nobots}} before fixing the interwiki link? It seems fast because it's not only reading the the iw list only from dewiki, but also from all the listed iw links. — [ Tanvir | Talk ] 14:38, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- See this, that user corrected the link of Xqbot, which made the collision I think, because as he didn't used
{{nobots}}, so my bot readded that link. He and you did that again and again, my bot did so again, and yes, believe me, other bots would do the same. Unfortunately in this case, it's only my bot. But that tag is there for a reason, so please use it. — [ Tanvir | Talk ] 14:53, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Please assure that your WikitanvirBot do not add the interwiki link of br:Claude de Lorraine to Claude, Duke of Guise and the corresponding articles on other wikis.

- Now, see here, in this page the creator added the jawiki link (see inter-wiki at left). As you said it's wrong, so he made the wrong edit. My bot just followed that. For solution, see FAQ (in short use {{nobots}} in all the involved articles, fix it every pages. Then remove {{nobots}}. Done. Regards, — [ Tanvir | Talk ] 12:48, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please stop your bot from doing stupid things on the interwikis DFT. Indeed, cs:Fourierova transformace#Diskrétní Fourierova transformace and pt:Transformada de Fourier#Transformada discreta de Fourier are NOT correct interwikis for DFT (which is an acronym), these are only correct interwikis for Discrete Fourier transform. Thank you for considering my request. Herr Satz (talk) 09:35, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Please can you stop your bot. Such things are not correct. Bye. Peter200 (talk) 08:27, 17 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I see that you have frequent complaints on this page that your bot is inserting incorrect interwikis to which your standard reply is to see the FAQ and add {{nobots}} to the article. This is not an acceptable answer, first of all because it will exclude all bots which might well be doing something useful and nobots is only supposed to be used cautiously in article space, but more importantly, because you are not accepting responsibility for your bots action. You are responsible for edits your bot makes as if you had made them directly yourself, and it is your responsibility, no one elses, to sort out problems when they arise. Advising editors, as you have done above, that they should go around the other language Wikipedias to make edits in languages they in all probability do not understand is completely foolish and a recipe for all kinds of problems. If you really cannot deal with the problems then you might want to consider whether your bot is really suitable for the task. SpinningSpark 13:56, 17 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Of course my bot is very suitable for its task, and it proved that already. I am also responsible for my bot's edits, but I cannot take responsibilities of others' wrong edits. That doesn't look foolish to me (though it can be annoyed), but I myself don't know all the languages, and my bot is running on all Wikipedias and few Wiktionaries. I am prompt for wrong actions where it is my bot's fault. Please remember, first inter-wiki links are always made by human, and bot always follow those edits. If that is wrong, how can it be my bot's fault? None of the inter-wiki bots have artificial intelligence. Yes, I tell to see FAQ, because it's all there and in past I answered the same questions many times. But do you have a better option in your mind? If so, please share it. {{nobots}} is not a lifetime solution, it is for the fixing time only. — [ Tanvir | Talk ] 16:29, 17 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- It might be understandable if your bot introduces an error on English Wikipedia because of an error copied from another wiki, but it is still your responsibility to clean up the mistake when it is pointed out to you. You say you do not know all languages so cannot fix, yet you are requiring editors who may only know English to take this on - that is not reasonable. It is irrelevant whether or not there is an error in the article in another language wiki. If you introduce that error into English Wikipedia you are expected to fix it in English Wikipedia whatever happens elsewhere. SpinningSpark 18:29, 17 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- It's my responsibility, only when it is my bot's mistake. As I explained above, when it is not my bot's fault, how that becomes my responsibility? Just think like this, someone changed all the inter-wikis of an article (a bad faith edit), and my bot followed that and changed the inter-wiki on other wikis, will you say it's my bot's fault? Does that make any sense to you? It's my responsibly to clean out such vandalisms or errors? No, it's not. No bot operator does that, because it's not possible. My bot does thousands of edits everyday on hundreds of wikis, it's possible to catch-up this kind of vandalism in case of one or two. But it is not possible for me to fix those every time. I think, any people who understand how inter-wiki bots work will understand the situation. Thank you. — [ Tanvir | Talk ] 07:16, 20 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- You are always responsible for your own edits on English Wikipedia, There is no exception for bots. Vandalism on other wikis is a different issue, of course you are not responsible for that, but you are responsible if you inadvertently copy that vandalism onto another wiki. If such mistakes are brought to your attention you are expected to correct them and not to redo them - bot operation is no excuse. SpinningSpark 16:55, 20 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- @Spinningspark: Well...That failure copying is a problem of all interwikibots, and it is tolerated because there is no solution. If you inform the bot controller, he has to place the nobots template... and to correct the mistakes. There is nothing more he can do. It seems that the running time of all those bots is the same and fixed... that interwiki link failure is something that is not removable from interwiki-link bots, if you think they do more harm than good... try to get consensus about that to change this.
- @Tanvir: If someone asks you to correct an interwiki-link failure made by your bot, you have to do that.--Müdigkeit (talk) 12:19, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Just to give you a heads up, using {{nobots}} is NOT the solution that you should be telling people. Ignoring the bigger issue is not what should be done. What needs to be done is that the incorrect article should be removed from all affected wikis. If your bot is adding them you are the one who needs to fix it, if/when it is discovered. If you cannot/are unwilling to do that you will be blocked, and I will request that the global bot flag you have be revoked and a possible global block for your bot for being disruptive. ΔT The only constant 21:18, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- @Δ: I want you to say, that there is no need to be harsh or rude here. It is certainly not a behaviour from an experienced Wikipedia. I believe your are over reacted here. Will I be blocked or my bot? I will never be blocked because my bot added bad inter-wiki links unintentionally. Please take a look on those pages, where issued raised, most of the time others bot were involved there too. You are a tech guy and certainly you know better, but I didn't tell to use nobots permanently, I told to use that temporarily to fix the issue only, then remove it. Please be welcoming and assume good faith. I am not a troll to abuse Wikipedia, and my bot is not a troll/vandal bot either. So please, do not treat me as one. :) — [ Tanvir | Talk ] 14:27, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- @Spinningspark and Müdigkeit: I agree that I need to fix the problem if it comes to my attention. But in past I see several problems that, one is telling that the intewiki is bad, other one is telling that it is legitimate. So, I got confused, that is why I asked them to fix it. Unless I have no problem with fixing it. :) — [ Tanvir | Talk ] 14:27, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- That is not an acceptable response. It could not have been put to you any plainer. There are no ifs and buts, there is no wiggle factor - you are responsible for fixing errors. If nobots needs to be used temporarily, then it is for you to do it and remove it afterwards, and even then it needs to be limited to interwiki bots. Last chance;
- Do you intend to remove the instruction from you FAQ for reporters to use {{tl:nobots}}?
- Have you fixed, and if not do you intend to fix, the problem reported with the balance wheel article? You removed the thread from your page without replying and no indication of a fix.
- Have you fixed, and if not do you intend to fix, the problem reported with the Claude, Duke of Guise article? You removed the thread from your page after pointing to FAQ only.
- Have you fixed, and if not do you intend to fix, the problem reported with Category:Mummy films? You removed the thread from your page after instructing user to use nobots.
- Have you fixed, and if not do you intend to fix, the problem reported with the Mads Andersen article? You removed the thread from your page after pointing to FAQ only.
- Have you fixed, and if not do you intend to fix, the problem reported with the DFT article? You removed the thread from your page without replying and no indication of a fix.
- Do you intend to fix the problems reported on this page below this post?
- In particular, are you taking action to prevent your bot edit warring?
- Those are only the ones that were on your page when I arrived here, I have not even begun to dig into the page history. You are wrong that you or your bot could never be blocked. That could very easily happen here. As I said, last chance, final warning: please respond soon. SpinningSpark 16:54, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- This is only the quick response. I told, that I have no problem with fixing the iw errors of my bot, what is unacceptable here? If my bot is disturbing, block it, why me? Am I the one who is vandalizing? Or do you think I am vandalizing with my bot intentionally? The problem in DFT, Mads Andersen, Claude, Duke of Guise, and balance wheel are already fixed, what do want me to fix now? — [ Tanvir | Talk ] 17:04, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I think it is not necessary to remove the {{nobots}} option, but yes, I will include of a better option to add that wrong inter-wiki within <!-- --> tag. — [ Tanvir | Talk ] 17:10, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- And I just fixed the problem on Category:Mummy films problem. — [ Tanvir | Talk ] 17:21, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- (ec)The whole thrust of your FAQ page is to not take responsibility yourself, so I think yes, you should desist from telling people who probably don't know what they are doing to use nobots. If it is necessary, it is for you to do it. The hidden comment is an abysmal idea, an interwiki known to be wrong should be immediately reverted, not simply tagged. Mads Andersen still has a nobots template, which according to your own FAQ should only be temporary, indicating that the root problem has not been fixed. Balance wheel is only fixed because I reverted your bot. By your own admission the root problem is not fixed and the bot may well do it again. I want to hear that you have, or intend to, investigate these problems and fix where necessary and any others that were reported to you before I started looking at this page. SpinningSpark 17:24, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Yeah, on Mads Andersen page I see it is suppose to deny only my bot, as it is {{bots|deny=WikitanvirBot}}. Is that a problem? And Balance wheel has fixed by your revert and plwiki link is just fine. I think there is nothing to do now. — [ Tanvir | Talk ] 17:36, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I removed the that link too as it bothers you, I think it won't be a problem now, because ukwiki has valid iw links. If push the wrong link again, inform me. — [ Tanvir | Talk ] 17:44, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- This page was fixed, but the bot can do same edits at the future. As I understand the bot identifies text: [[pl:page_name]] as iwiki. But page_name contains whole paragraph in discussed case! And the bot removes it. Can you insert to your bot's code the next condition: if page_name contains line breaks or '{' symbol or '[' or '}' then stop processing of the page and print warning "Manual intervention is required"? — Ivan A. Krestinin (talk) 16:31, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I've seen that your WikitanvirBot has removed a link to Chinese page (zh:xxxx). Do you speak Chinese? How can you allow your bot to destroy link in language you don't understand?
If this happens again, I'll report you.
石庭豐 (talk) 10:47, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- No, I don't speak Chinese, but exactly what page are you reffing to? The name of the page you said is a deleted page, the bot should remove it. I see no problem with that. Please provide me a diff link, that will help me to understand. Thanks! — [ Tanvir | Talk ] 11:59, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- The page I'm referring to is http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Superkey
- The page I said is a deleted page? Yeah, not only you see no problem, you should also see a doctor.
- Last warning, if you touch it again, I'll report you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 石庭豐 (talk • contribs) 10:10, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Please calm down, and state your problem with diff link, like my bot removed the link here. zh:xxxx does not mean anything. Now, I will get to the point, I see you are inserting link to a redirect page. The bot will modify that link anyway. Are you sure that Superkey should be linked to 关系键? Because I see 关系键 is already linked to Surrogate key. Please make sure what is the current inter-wiki link, so we can fix it. :) — [ Tanvir | Talk ] 10:29, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- There's NOT always a one-one correspondence between terms in the real world. Better make your bot smarter !
- If you want, here is the explanation: 关系键 is a general article on several keys (superkey is one of them) most likely because every section for a kind of key isn't long enough to deserve a separate article. So there are a lot of links from every other language pointing to the same article, but via a REDIRECT to make sure that relative articles can still be found for foreigner readers.
- My point is, you don't speak Chinese, you can't judge if something is correct or not. So, leave them alone !! as it's stated in Wikipedia's policy, eg http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Wikipedia:Redirect —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.41.124.254 (talk) 18:19, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Is there no possibility to prevent your bot from edit-warring? It can't be so difficult for the program to check wether the changes have been reset by some user. Like here, here, here, here, here and here. Why does your program does edits that have been reset just before by two other users? --Dietzel (talk) 19:46, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually, bot can't judge if you are warring or not. You should point out the right problem, before you fix. The answer of your question is already answered in my FAQ. You can do that in a right way as I described there if you want (that is very much appreciated). Alternatively, you can tell me the problem and what you want to fix, so I can fix that for you. I see the problem as fixed automatically. I've added the en link here, hope its okay. Thanks! — [ Tanvir | Talk ] 04:10, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- The problem is that a human user, who wants to fix interwikis, needs some time to do that. Let's say there are 10 articles to change, so I need 10 minutes. Your bot reverts the changes quicker than that, so when I'm finished with the last article, the bot already reverted the first one.
- Another problem is, that the bot is edit-warring. Look at the version history here. Two human users remove interwikis, your bot reverts them 3 times. I don't think a bot should be allowed to do edits a human user would be blocked for. Of course the bot can judge if it is warring: it can easily compare the last edit in the history with it's own edit. In case a human user has just changed interwikis in a way the bot doesn't agree with, it should not edit but leave a message in a log file or on the talk page. --Dietzel (talk) 10:44, 4 May 2011 (UTC)--Dietzel (talk) 10:44, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
OK, look here, this is the last warning. Either you reprogram your bot to be smarter (which means it can understand HUMAN languages) OR stop your bot to touch links to zh (or variants). If it continues, I'll make sure I've have a whole ally to report you (and your bot) for VANDALISM (either it's intentional or unintentional).
Period!

In your user page, you've written that you're a member of some ORTS team. But it's really a shame that you are not even aware of some simple rules in Wikipedia, in particular, this is the one I'm talking about: Do not "fix" links to redirects that are not broken. Read at least the first paragraph.
IT stuffs are good if they have constructive purpose, but your bot is doing destruction. I really wonder how your bot got approved!? 石庭豐 (talk) 11:05, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirects do not harm, they are quite okay when they are in article body, but an inter-wiki should not be placed to a redirect page. Then the bot will automatically remove/modify that that link. It is not applicable to my bot, but also for others. Thanks! — [ Tanvir | Talk ] 12:51, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, I saw your bot adding interwikilinks here, but that links were wrong, on nl-wiki the article is about a dj and the others about a town. I tried to remove the interwiki link to nlwiki on the other siki's but your bot added them some minutes later again. Is there a way to fix this problem? Kind regards, Olivier Bommel (talk) 18:50, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Sorry for the late answer. The problem is now fixed. But in future, 3 easy steps.
- Put {{nobots}} temporarily in all the linked articles, and save
- Removed the unwanted inter-wiki link(s), and save
- Remove that temporary {{nobots}}, and save

Hello,
I'm acting in Persian wikipedia,In there, we started a scanning of interwikilinks by a bot,But it cannot add the Persian interwikilinks in the English wikipedia(it doesn't has flag).Would you add the persian interwikilinks in English wiki by your Bot?
The list of articles which don't have English interwikis will be ready after scanning and the scan will finish in next 2 days.--Best regards--Sahehco (talk) 12:01, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi, I would like to do that. Just finish your list and come back to me! — [ Tanvir | Talk ] 03:06, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you verymuch for your reply,
Here is the first part of scan results,
Best wishes and regards,--Sahehco (talk) 09:31, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Wikitanvir!
I work on the french Wikipedia. Your robot gave me a help for the french article Maryam yesterday, so I ask for your help for another article I've created before : Munafiq (in french). I've put a link to another language, then to german, and then to english, but nothing. Thanks for your help. Ghalloun (talk) 12:26, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- You are welcome. Let the article grow, and don't worry about inter-wiki. One of the bots will do that soon if that's correct. :) — [ Tanvir | Talk ] 03:17, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You need a delay built into your bot. I am trying to fix up an error above, but it is extremely hard to get ahead of your bot for even half the languages.
Look at this history. Rich Farmbrough, 00:49, 6 May 2011 (UTC).[reply]
- Fixing it. Currently on it. Thanks! — [ Tanvir | Talk ] 02:26, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- As long as I see Rich fixed it everywhere, many thanks Rich! And I see the da link has moved, so I believe there will not be anymore problem. If you find any in future, please inform me. — [ Tanvir | Talk ] 03:05, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Welcome, thanks for removing the "nobots". Rich Farmbrough, 12:22, 6 May 2011 (UTC).[reply]
Please see your recent edit on the Scheherazade article [8]. Please note the edit summary that explains why the link was removed. The Hungarian link that you are adding does not go to a related article about the Persian princess. Instead it goes to an article about the name. We should not be linking to unrelated material. If you can fix this so that your bot does not give this false link it will be appreciated. MarnetteD | Talk 18:49, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Saw you edit on the article in question and I wanted to say thanks for taking care of things. I appreciate the time you took to follow through on this. Cheers. MarnetteD | Talk 20:50, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks, but actually I am not finished yet. You informed me yesterday right before I go to sleep. That is why I just reverted the enwiki edit. But there is a very good chance that the inter-wiki link will show up again, if someone don't remove that link from other wikis as well. I am doing that now. :) — [ Tanvir | Talk ] 04:53, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I am done now. See how I did that here (dewiki), here (ptwiki), and here (huwiki), so if such problems raise in future, you will be able to handle it all by yourself. :) — [ Tanvir | Talk ] 05:38, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- And another thanks for the followup and letting me know how I can help. Hope that you have a good week ahead. MarnetteD | Talk 14:27, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- You're welcome. :) — [ Tanvir | Talk ] 15:34, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hello! Can you please correct this iw like this? Thank you!Gdje je nestala duša svijeta (talk) 18:31, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I just noticed WikitanvirBot and EmausBot just reverting each other in the Origami article over what version of the ukranian article it should link to.I think Emausbot which did the latest change is probably right as it linked directly to the article whereas this bot linked to a redirect. Dmcq (talk) 13:52, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Sorry I see they were messing around renaming and moving on that encyclopaedia so it was just reflecting the messing around. No problems. Dmcq (talk) 14:41, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hi! I'm pretty sure this interwiki link that your bot created is wrong. The article in the Polish Wikipedia is about an American university, while the Danish article seems to be a biography. Regards. Powerek38 (talk) 17:06, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Tanvir, can you please revert this edit of your bot so to keep the manual interwiki ~ thank you -vera 71.198.126.133 (talk) 05:08, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Tanvir, I have during the last hour seen many erroneous iw inserts on da-wiki. And looking at the comments above, it seems as if it is not only in da-wiki, it has problems. Could you please put the bot on halt and correct its behaviour? Thanks. --Amjaabc (talk) 17:49, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Taking a look. Thanks for notifying me. — [ Tanvir | Talk ] 17:53, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
In this edit, while adding the su: link, your bot also moved the ro: link to be before the nah: link. I have corrected it. (Xqbot and EmausBot had the same problem, but seem to be fixed now.)
Your FAQ refers to the Interwiki sorting order, but that has ro: in the right place. —Coroboy (talk) 11:26, 26 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Your bot is still moving Romanian interwiki links to the wrong place: see this edit. —Coroboy (talk) 12:47, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- It was because of this bug of Pywikipedia. The bug has fixed today afternoon in r9275. I have already updated my bot. And if you have this problem again please inform me. Thanks! — [ Tanvir | Talk ] 13:39, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, it seems your bot WikitanvirBot did an error in this edit: [9]. --Speculos (talk) 06:40, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- What's the error there? The bot fixed the link, and the page exist, and the link seems legitimate. — [ Tanvir | Talk ] 06:43, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- The bot added the link "[[sv:Ignaz Brüll " already present, without the ending brackets; probably due to incorrect syntax before. -- Speculos (talk) 08:27, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
