Your bot is no longer reporting problematic user names

The last user name report your bot made at Wikipedia:Usernames for administrator attention/Bot was on October 14th (over 2 weeks ago). It seems to me that in that period of time, there must have been lots of user names which the bot should have reported. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 20:29, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Your bot and the rfa table

Howdy. Your bot may have messed up.--Rockfang (talk) 04:15, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

SoxBot

Dear Soxbot,

I think you are preventing me from displaying the OLD WAEATHER logo on my new article on Old Weather.

I have the permission from the man I believe to be in charge of it to use that logo.

So why I am being denied the use of it, as I have submitted it twice, once with explicit permissionfrom DR CHRIS LINTOTT.

Your sort of autobot is what is wrong with Wikipedia,

UAA Reporting by SoxBot

Hey, just wanted to drop you a note that SoxBot no longer appears to be reporting problematic usernames. Thanks! TN X Man 15:32, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Just curious

I have a question, the Soxbot hasn`t been working at UAA lately, is it turned off in that area? Thanks --Addi hockey 10^e-mail 19:48, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Can you help me? Thank you! Perseus!Talk to me 17:22, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Rich Farmbrough has close to a million edits due to running bots on his account, so the edit counter just doesn't have enough memory to parse them all. This is a known bug that happens with users with incredibly high edit counts. (X! · talk) · @869 · 19:51, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Broken {{ffdc}} by SoxBot

SoxBot is generating {{ffdc}} with the log parameter as "01 January 1970", which is both the wrong date and the wrong format (the template requires dates formatted as "2010 October 23").[1][2] Anomie ⚔ 14:38, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Just wanted to point out that SoxBot is still doing the thing Anomie described above. The consequence is a redlink in the deletable-image caption. [3] Cheers. AtticusX (talk) 13:51, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Translating Translator Tool in X!'s tools

http://toolserver.org/~soxred93/translate/index.php?action=step1&uselang=&toolname=Translator&lang=eo Submitting my translations after translation of Translator Tool in X!'s tools I get this message : "Ilo is not a valid tool" or "Tool is not a valid tool", anyway "$1 is not a valid tool" with $1= toolname. I finally successed giving value "Translator" to 'toolname'. Is that correct ? Arno Lagrange ✉ 13:52, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
