CC for software

Hi Hazard-SJ, I came upon your HazardBot source code and noticed that it is licensed under a Creative Commons license. However, it is not reccomended to use such a license for software. Quoting the CC FAQ: Unlike software-specific licenses, CC licenses do not contain specific terms about the distribution of source code, which is often important to ensuring the free reuse and modifiability of software. Many software licenses also address patent rights, which are important to software but may not be applicable to other copyrightable works. Additionally, our licenses are currently not compatible with the major software licenses... I'll leave the choice of alternative license to your discretion. Thanks for open sourcing your tools by the way. :) Opencooper (talk) 16:23, 9 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Opencooper: Hi, thanks for the note! I had in fact realized that about CC, and I still have a note to myself from over a year ago to change the licensing, but just haven't gotten around to it as yet. Thanks again for the note, I'm planning to get those updated later this year.  Hazard SJ  21:01, 11 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Ahh okay, no worries then. Just thought I'd reach out in case you didn't know. Happy contributing! Opencooper (talk) 21:39, 11 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Hazard-SJ. Voting in the 2017 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23.59 on Sunday, 10 December.

Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

Adopt-a-user - please check your details

Hello, I have been doing a cleanup of the ‘Adopter’ information page for the Adopt-a-user Project, located here. During my cleanup, I've removed several long-inactive and retired users, leaving just the most recently active ones, whether they're currently available (14 users) or not currently available (24 users).

In order to provide potential adoptees with an easy location to find people, the Adopter's page needs to be up-to-date with the latest availability information. Thus:

  • If you are no longer interested in being an adopter, even in the future, please remove yourself from the list, and delete any {{adopting}} templates from your user pages.
  • If you are still interested, but not currently available, please check the list to see if your details needs to be updated - especially with regards availability. (A dummy edit would show me you’ve checked and are OK with what’s currently there.)
  • Feel free to add a line at the bottom of your entry to show how many adoptees you’ve previously helped. I’m sure that would be of interest to newcomers, especially when you do return.
  • I have also cleaned out nearly 100 inactive editors still flagged as seeking adoption. That leaves just 18 people currently interested in being adopted.

You are receiving this message because you are listed as an adopter here, but have made relatively few edits over the last year or so.

Finally, as an editor with previous experience of adoption (unlike myself!), you might wish to respond to the (admittedly long) comments I've made here about how I think the project could be improved and got working again. I've also 'been bold' and tweaked the project pages a wee bit. Regards from the UK, Nick Moyes (talk) 00:47, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

List of Common mistakes

It's been 3 months since the last data dump for the list of common mistakes. Would be great if the bot could trigger this. Thank you!  spintendo  05:43, 6 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Spintendo: Hi, thanks for bringing that to my attention! The issue seems to have been caused by a new (unexpected, though seemingly useful) directory being added that threw off some logic that I wrote to dynamically generate the path to the dump file (I previously had to do this to locate the latest completed dump). It should be fixed now and I've manually started the task, so the reports should be updated within the next day or two. Let me know if nothing happens.  Hazard SJ  18:06, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Adoption

Hello Hazard-SJ, I saw your post on the Wikipedia adoptee offer and I would like to ask if you're currently available to adopt me and teach me everything you know about Wikipedia. I'm a fast learner but I don't know how to code in general. Thanks, Yanjipy (talk) 22:13, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

On the other note if you're to busy please direct me to someone you also recommend. Yanjipy (talk) 22:23, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Adoption

I would like to be adopted and taught more about editing on wikipedia. Mostly wanting to fight vandalism and ensure pages are neutral and free of biases. I'm only a few hours old tho but spend lots of time learning new things on here. 90% of my browsing would be of automobiles. Dartman1313 (talk) 00:42, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
