Exactly what I said in the section heading. :-). See my comments that I will post soon at Wikipedia talk:Bots/Requests for approval#Concerns about Jogersbot. —Mets501 (talk) 22:40, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Please take a few moments and fill in the data for your bot on Wikipedia:Bots/Status Thank you Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 19:36, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
As a result of discussion on the village pump and mailing list, bots are now allowed to edit up to 15 times per minute. The following is the new text regarding bot edit rates from Wikipedia:Bot Policy:
Until new bots are accepted they should wait 30-60 seconds between edits, so as to not clog the recent changes list and user watchlists. After being accepted and a bureaucrat has marked them as a bot, they can edit at a much faster pace. Bots doing non-urgent tasks should edit approximately once every ten seconds, while bots who would benefit from faster editing may edit approximately once every every four seconds.
Also, to eliminate the need to spam the bot talk pages, please add Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard to your watchlist. Future messages which affect bot owners will be posted there. Thank you. --Mets501 03:08, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
Hello! I noticed Jogersbot here and here tagged these articles as needing infoboxes, when in fact they have them (albeit very short ones). I have removed those tags, and I hope you can make that minor fix to the bot without too much trouble. Cheers, Dar-Ape 03:59, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
Well done with the album template bot-tagging. Do you wonder, as I, how many articles need tagging since you did your last round of tagging on March 22? With the results of the new article bot, it seems there are many each day. If you could run that bot a little each day it would save us time as we get new album articles up to speed. Thoughts? --Fisherjs 14:13, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
While you're at it, is there a reason you don't look for the presence of an infobox and if it's not there, add that needsinfobox=yes parameter to the album template on the talk page? I was just looking at Shiawase Tambourine. --Fisherjs 22:48, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
This article is about a band. It doesn't seem to contain a suitable category or infobox. Do you know why Jogersbot keeps adding to its talk page putting it in WikiProject albums? (If it matters, there is also Hawkwind (album), properly tagged). Notinasnaid 12:28, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
Thank you. Notinasnaid 14:26, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
like your additions on New York State of Mind - album Millm0w 13:12, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
I agree with MOST of the changes suggested here, but this particular one I don't as in some cases there are multiple track listings, such as for muliple CDs or multiple albums places on the one page, it's grammatically correct to note it as "track listings." One in particular that I've worked on is As/Is by John Mayer. Otherwise converting track list and changing from tracklisting is fine by me. My other suggestion is to simply change anything from track lists or tracklistings to Track listings, in accordance with the reason I've already mentioned. --lincalinca 11:17, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
Any idea why this edit was made on the talk page of Sucker Punch (Album) at 13:18 when I moved that page to Sucker Punch (album) at 12:34? This is how we end up needing this list, which maybe we should do a refresh on.--Fisherjs 12:28, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi, can i translate your page The Devil Knows My Name for wikipedia france? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 213.169.168.213 (talk • contribs).
Would you be interested in setting up your bot to take care of WT:ALBUM#Unorthodox extra chronologies? Here's a regexp if so:
\{\{Extra chronology 2\s*\|\s*Artist\s*=\s*\[\[SST Records\]\][^}]+\}\}
(Thanks for fixing my typo BTW.) --PEJL 21:39, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
Perhaps your bot could tweak the formatting of genres in album infoboxes. I mean convert "\s*(<[Bb][Rr][ /\\]*>|/|[\r\n]+)\s*" to ", " and lowercase most genres. We'd need a list of genres to capitalize, which could probably be constructed from List of music genres, for example "African .+|Afro-.*|Alb-.+|..." and so on. What do you think? I could help construct a list of genres to capitalize if you're interested. BTW, is there a problem with the bot, it doesn't seem to be running? --PEJL 13:36, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
At WP:ALBUM#Template:Extra album cover 2 it now says that the upper caption should be "Alternate cover" for alternate covers. Perhaps you could have your bot replace "(Upper caption\s*=\s*)Alternat(iv)?e [Cc]over
" with "\1Alternate cover
"? (That should also handle plurals like "Alternate covers" and other variants like "Alternate cover #2" correctly.) --PEJL 09:47, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
((?:^|\|) *Next album *=) *(?:\. \. \.|\.\.\.) *([\r\n|}])
→ \1 \2
(^\{\{Infobox Album[^\r\n<]*)([\r\n])
→ \1 <!-- See Wikipedia:WikiProject_Albums -->\2
--PEJL 04:17, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
If it's all the same to you, can you alphabetize the regex in User:Jogers/List5? It would make it quicker to lookup a word to see if it is listed (for those of us who have not committed the list to memory).--Fisherjs 11:58, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
Can you add a section header for Numbers and special characters to List3? I would do it manually, but I thought maybe you need to have the bot do it. Great job on all the lists and AWB work! --Fisherjs 19:00, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
I don't know if Jogersbot has time or interest but let me float this idea by you. I was looking at the list of Top Priority articles here thinking that we should have all of the Top articles assessed. It led me to Talk:Tommy_(rock_opera) which has a missing class on the album template but a "B" in another template. I don't know how many similar cases there are among the 33000 unassessed, but maybe it's possible to look into and automate the assessment. --Fisherjs 11:37, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
If it's not too much trouble, could you sort User:Jogers/Album articles without infobox by the date the article was created. There's no real advantage to having it sorted alphabetically (as far as I can tell), but sorted by date we can see which article have been around longest (and therefore have had ample opportunity for deletion). Makes sense to keep the larger split of Album articles / With Infobox Single. Probably makes sense to sort User:Jogers/Long album stubs the same way. Thoughts? ---- Fisherjs (talk) 22:09, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
I need help renaming about 200 articles. Doing this by hand would take me all day.
Can your bot rename articles, or be adapted to do so?
If so, please contact me.
Thank you.

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Talk:The Knee Plays, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Talk:The Knee Plays is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Talk:The Knee Plays, please affix the template ((hangon)) to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability 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.
