Hi there- I wonder if you would be able to add to this discussion to explain what we need to do to make a change to the GAC page without upsetting the bot. Thanks! J Milburn (talk) 21:33, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
But I have an account there, which is Στέλιος Τ.. What do you mean "there is no global account registered for Στέλιος Τ.?" Stellakis (talk) 10:31, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:ChaserWar.svg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.
If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as ((non-free fair use)) or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too.

Your close of Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Theo's Little Bot 20 on the basis of a personal view of what you think NFC policy ought to be, rather than the standards adopted by the community, and overwhelmingly confirmed eg in the RfCs cited at Wikipedia:NFC#cite_note-2 is completely out of order.
If you believe the community has got it wrong here, then try to get consensus to change the understood interpretation of policy. You should note that many of those who spoke up for this bot -- Masem, Quadell, Stefan, Sfan00 -- are active enforcers in this area, and are by no means "liberals". They made it clear that in their opinion the bot was only going to be used in cases that were not controversial in terms of the understood ratified community interpretation of the policy. It was not for you to place a personally-held opinion ahead of the settled view of the community, and a close on that basis was not appropriate.
I therefore call on you to withdraw your close and turn it into a !vote; or, alternatively, advise on the formal process for seeking review of a mis-closed discussion. Jheald (talk) 12:37, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
Hi Chris. I know this was a long time ago, but I'd just like to apologize for causing trouble with my bot almost two years ago. Kudu ~I/O~ 21:09, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
I've got an idea: when the bot transcludes a GA review, should it also post a notification to the GA nominator's talk page? Not all GA reviewers do this, or do this in a timely fashion, and it seems like a pretty straightforward and simple thing to do. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 21:15, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
Doesn't seem to be fixed. MB had to mark several of my completed requests done after a few hours, e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Changing_username/Simple&diff=564444584&oldid=564430446 –xenotalk 13:49, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
Hi Chris. I nominated Oskar Schindler for GA at 23:56 on 18 July, and the nomination still has not appeared at WP:GAN. Can you please check this out for me and see what's happening? Thank you very much. -- Diannaa (talk) 03:37, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
According to ((good article)), the template is supposed to be placed at the bottom of the article, not the top. -- t numbermaniac c 11:55, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
Hi. I don't know if its just temporary but I think that the GA Bot is down at Wikipedia:Good article nominations. GamerPro64 15:36, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
Sorry about that. Should be Fixed now. --Chris 09:08, 20 July 2013 (UTC)
