This image File:Fireworks Entertainment-logo.png is not orphaned although I see on the page it says it is not used on any article but is on Fireworks Entertainment. Am I missing something?? REVUpminster (talk) 08:03, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
Received notification that the file http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Memory_Lane_%28Doctor_Who%29.jpg was not attached to any articles. However, it is attached to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_Lane_%28audio_drama%29. I've removed the flag. Eddie Robson (talk) 13:14, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
What exactly happened here?
The only edit to Brother, Bring the Sun this year was this, and it has nothing to do with adding/removing the image from that page. I can only assume then that the image was not orphaned at the time of the message above... So why did Hazard-Bot flag it? Tom™(2¢) 19:01, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
Hi the image being used at Tring Brewery is legitimately being used as a non-free image. However when you click on the image and view the details it says it's an orphan and your bot has marked it for deletion as a result. What's going on? -- 86.150.164.174 (talk) 21:17, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
Hi Hazard-SJ, thanks again for taking the time to respond to my request and try to configure the Hazard-Bot to fulfill it. I see that you stumbled upon some formatting issues that stalled the project and I guess made it less easy to complete than it might originally seem. I understand there is a lot to do and the issues you encountered can be quite tricky, so I was wondering if I could help you in any way. Alternatively, would you want me to get you in touch with the more "technical" (I can't write a script for dear life) people over at Wikivoyage who were even thinking of doing something similar?
If you cared to reply, it would be brilliant if you could in my Talk Page over at Wikivoyage, as I tend to visit Wikipedia very rarely those days. Thanks in advance for that! PrinceGloria (talk) 07:53, 25 July 2013 (UTC)
Hazard-Bot posted this to my talk page. I didn't up load the photo. In fact, I didn't even touch the image until 4 years after it had been uploaded. I have virtually nothing to do with the image but for one edit done 2.5 years ago. Please fix your bot so the proper person is notified. Thank you, --Hammersoft (talk) 02:15, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
Hi. We really need your opinion on which of these photos would make the best Infobox portrait for the Rick Remender article. Could you please offer your opinion in that discussion? The most recent subsection of that discussion is here, so you can just chime in there if you don't want to read the whole thread. I really appreciate it. Thanks.

Any eta on restarting your orphaned non-free tagging bot? Werieth (talk) 14:31, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
I saw your listing on Wikipedia:Adopt-a-user/Adoptee's Area/Adopters and you have a couple things in particular that catch my attention: anti-vandalism and bot programming, and also the account creation interface.
I'm generally tech-savvy, but I'm a total Wikipedia newbie, and have recently had a bit of an experience as a new user. You can read the sad story, and the responses I got at the Teahouse, under the pointed question "Does Wikipedia REALLY want new users??"
Now that I see that yes, Wikipedia DOES want new users, but that you admit the current new user process is badly broken, I'm looking at ways I can help you build a NEW new user experience that better meets everyone's needs. I've been hashing some of those ideas on my user talk page, as well.
Certainly, I understand that vandalism is a problem, and that automated solutions (bots) have been, and are continuing to be created to address the problem. Unfortunately, sometimes those solutions get in the way of new users trying to genuinely learn how to contribute to Wikipedia. So, I'm really interested in learning all I can about what problems and solutions you have, and how the needs of anti-vandalism and new users can be perhaps balanced a little better.
I do have a number of users who've weighed in with comments and support, one of whom is actually directly involved in the software development of the underling software that runs Wikipedia. Your comments and feedback, I believe, would mesh well with the other feedback I'm getting. My goal is to get a better understanding of what's going on from all angles, and all groups that support or manage new users, the new user experience, and who clean up the mess that new users tend to leave behind, so that we can develop a balanced approach to problems that meets all party's needs.
Of course, being a newbie myself, I'd also like to learn more general Wikipedia stuff ... the markup, the policies, the nuts and bones of things to become a productive editor, myself.
Comments and feedback are most welcome. I'd be happy to work with you in whatever capacity you feel is most productive and comfortable. Thanks for your time and consideration.

Howdy, your bot carried out a task for me last month and I was wondering whether I should request the same task with a slightly different message here or at WP:BOTREQ? Which would be more appropriate? Olegkagan (talk) 23:09, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi, following up on my earlier request for the sandbox to replace the text with Template:Template sandbox reset. It seems user:AvicBot2 no longer edits, so could you do it now ? The same should probably be done for the sandbox itself and tutorial sandboxes with Template:Sandbox reset, but user:Lowercase sigmabot II is active there too, so I'll ask Σ. Thanks, Cenarium (talk) 23:36, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
Hi, is there any reason Hazard-Bot isn't tagging orphaned non-free files anymore? If it's because Wikipedia:Database reports/Unused non-free files isn't being updated, I pinged MZMcBride about it. Would be good to get this task up and running again. --Closedmouth (talk) 07:38, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi Hazard-SJ. In case you don't read your user talk on nlwp, I left a request for you there: nl:Overleg gebruiker:Hazard-SJ. Regards, Trijnsteltalk 14:32, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
The link to the relevant request for approval does in fact link to an old, withdrawn request. ;) AddWittyNameHere (talk) 21:04, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Is Hazard-Bot still up for this task? If not, I could try asking someone else. Thanks. --Paul_012 (talk) 19:53, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
Your bot is broken. →Σσς. (Sigma) 07:08, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
I have a question about the cleaning of Template:Template sandbox and others like Template:X1. It says in the documentation "the template sandboxes are automatically cleaned every 12 hours". However it seems to me that the "Hazard-Bot" does clean the template sandbox with a wait time of sometimes only a couple of minutes after an edit, which can result in much more frequent cleaning. (I would suspect that people trying to experiment with creating templates would find this quite irritating, to say the least.) On the other hand some of the other template-sandboxes that are referenced in the documentation (e.g. Template:X10) are however never cleaned. Maybe I misunderstood something here, but to me it seems the behaviour of Hazard-Bot is not correct. Kindest regards, Tony Mach (talk) 11:52, 7 December 2013 (UTC)
Hello Hazard-SJ, I saw that you are currently accepting new adoptees for the Wikipedia Adopt-a-user program. After reading the descriptions of many adopters, I found you to be the best mentor for me. I was wondering if you would please adopt me and teach me about the many different aspects of Wikipedia, especially anti-vandalism. Thank you!--ObiWanKenobi11 (talk) 19:39, 8 December 2013 (UTC)

Your bot seems to have stopped creating new daily categories. The latest few categories (since 16 January) have been created manually by me because I noticed that they were missing and contained files. --Stefan2 (talk) 12:07, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
Do you know what may have prompted this edit? Thanks! Kevin Rutherford (talk) 22:39, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
Hi,
Your bot is creating an error on the dutch Sandbox. Can you please keep your bot away from nl:Wikipedia:Zandbak until it is fixed?
Thanks. --RenéV (talk) 14:38, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
Howdy! Looks like your sandbox bot is conflicting slightly with other bots and scripts. Please see this diff and remove the tags from your bots header! ·addshore· talk to me! 15:03, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
Have you had a chance to work on User:Hazard-Bot/Requests#Puerto Rico? —Ahnoneemoos (talk) 00:59, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
Hazard-Bot has been cleaning the template sandbox Template:X9 every hour, rather than the every 12 that the sandbox documentation lists. That is too frequent. Would you reschedule so that material stays up for the longer period? Dhtwiki (talk) 03:52, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi, and who is "Hazard-SJ" and your bot account "Hazard-Bot" on Wikipedia? You maybe a hazard user or something? --Allen talk 13:57, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
So, In see that you are listed as an adopter on the page, and I saw you teach some of the things I have been trying to learn, would you be able to teach me? InfernusIsHiding-Talk 18:48, 30 September 2014 (UTC)
I would appreciate if this bot would clear the sandbox every 30 seconds or so, to prevent any sort of spam from manifesting there. 104.207.136.27 (talk) 14:47, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
