==Single character changes==

Please use AWB to fix more typos per edit. Everytime you change 1 character, the database saves the entire file again, resulting in a large waste of space for how little you're changing. AWB's creator is also opposed to such minor changes, and plans to fix this in later versions. &mdash; <small>_{[[User_talk:Brian0918|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#444444;">0918</fontspan>]]}^{<span style="position: relative; left:-24px; margin-right:-24px;">[[User:Brian0918|<b><fontspan colorstyle="color:#222222;">BRIAN</fontspan></b>]]</span>} &bull; 2006-04-5 22:16</small>

*He's opposed to numerous minor edits. It would be better if you could catch multiple spelling errors in each article. After all, the articles are likely to have more than 1 typo. I used to put featured articles into MS Word to catch all the spelling errors, although that takes longer. &mdash; <small>_{[[User_talk:Brian0918|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#444444;">0918</fontspan>]]}^{<span style="position: relative; left:-24px; margin-right:-24px;">[[User:Brian0918|<b><fontspan colorstyle="color:#222222;">BRIAN</fontspan></b>]]</span>} &bull; 2006-04-5 22:23</small>

:''irk! pulled an arm hair for letting that one slip by me! those words ending double 'ss' are gonna be the death of me. hardest for my poor human eye to catch i guess. there is a little quirk in my bot settings that catch the regular word even though it has a morpheme at the end, and make inappropriate changes. seems specifically with words ending in double 'ss'. like process. i should have fixed embarrassing from ever happening again. thanks for keeping me on my toes, good catch. :) JoeBot 16:09, 28 May 2006 (UTC)''

::You've also changed the non-existent (but correctly spelt) "referings" to the non-existent (and incorrectly spelt) "referrings".

Sorry &mdash; I assumed that U.S. English was consistent (hah!) and didn't double the consonant; checking, I see that you're right. --[[User:Mel Etitis|Mel Etitis]] ([[User talk:Mel Etitis|<fontspan colorstyle="color:green;">Μελ Ετητης</fontspan>]]) 19:58, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

== Spellchecking direct quotes ==

== hey ==

Hi, over at [[Linux kernel oops]] you and your bot corrected the spelling of two direct quotes - should we really be "correcting" what other people have said, or just quoting it verbatim? I think the latter personally... is there any way to inform AWB or other bots that they shouldn't spellcheck inside certain fields? Thanks. [[User:GeorgeBills|GeorgeBills]] 05:44, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

:''unfortunately it is often difficult to tell if the editor mistakenly misspelled a quote or the author did and it should be preserved. if the later is the case, then a [sic] tage should be added either in commenting or directly in the article. i've inserted one so this won't happen with me or others again. really this is a misdoing on my end though, and so i do appologize. one arm hair pulled as punishment, as is my policy. yowzah! JoeSmack Talk 09:00, 25 June 2006 (UTC)''

== Could the bot please correct 'refered'? ==

There are about 300 Google hits for 'refered' instead of referred in the main articles section of wikipedia. Could the bot run through them and correct the misspelling? Thanks. [[User:Rjwilmsi|Rjwilmsi]] 17:13, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

:''sure I can get that. i'll make it my next run. 'refered' is one of the top most common ones, along with 'prefered', 'occured' and 'offical'. those double r's get people. i haven't run it for refered though in about a month so it must be piling up! JoeBot 14:44, 28 June 2006 (UTC)''

:: 'succeded' too please. [[User:Rjwilmsi|Rjwilmsi]] 16:29, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

:::'' 'succeded' and 'precceded' shall be next! :) JoeBot 17:06, 28 June 2006 (UTC)''

== The Bot wasn't right ==

Your bot changed a mispelling in this page:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCO-Linux_controversies

He was right in a way, "existance" is false, but since the word was in a citation, it cannot be changed. I didn't make the changes because I didn't want your bot to change this again.

Greetings from Switzerland and sorry for my poor english.

:''Hi! Good catch, don't know why that slipped by me, but because it has a <nowiki>[sic]</nowiki> i shouldn't have changed it. As penance, as is my custom, i shall pull an armhair and will fix my mistake. Thanks for letting me know! :) [[User:JoeBot|JoeBot]] 15:52, 2 July 2006 (UTC)''

:''and your english sounds great by the way. [[User:JoeBot|JoeBot]] 15:54, 2 July 2006 (UTC)''

== [[Libya]] ==

I am just about to put Libya on the list of featured article candidates. Looking at the history of the page, I see you've done a little 'house cleaning', as you call it, using AutoWikiBrowser before. Could you please do it again, checking typo errors, and doing anything which does not have a detremental effect on the page, before I submit it. Thanks very much. --[[User:Jaw101ie|Jaw101ie]] 18:34, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

:I was browsing and saw this request, so I thought I'd take the opportunity to try out my [[User:GurchBot|new bot]]. I found [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Libya&diff=prev&oldid=64171034 these] (there may be others) – [[User:Gurch|Gurch]] 21:06, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Would you run a fix of 'commerical' --> commercial (and maybe the derivatives) please? [[User:Rjwilmsi|Rjwilmsi]] 14:51, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

:''Done! There is a bank and a couple other industries in Mexico/South America it appears that use the spanish spelled 'Comericial'; thus there may be hits via a Google inquery. Cheers! [[User:JoeBot|JoeBot]] 18:17, 30 September 2006 (UTC) ''

== What am I doing wrong? ==

Hi Justin,

I'm new to Wikipedia and I don't really understand why you are not allowing my contribution to the B'nai Mitzvah article - my book and a link to my site, as I am a legitimate author/expert on this subject with a great deal to offer and I don't charge anyone to give them guidance, access to tons of resources, etc. I routinely work with synagogues, educators; I give them free books. I'm happy to phrase it however you want. I see my competitors already listed - commercial enterprises. Why are they allowed and I'm not? This is not a challenge - I just really don't understand what the rules are. Thank you. [[User:JuliaGirl|JuliaGirl]] 02:48, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Hello,

I love and use this site everyday.

I recently added a link of AdvisorsDirectory.com to the term Financial Advisors and was told not to do this by yourself.

Trust me... I am not trying to be a pain, however in the "rules" it states "Adding external links can be a service to our readers, but they should be kept to a minimum of those that are meritable, accessible and appropriate to the article."

I would think that a link of a service that allows readers to go find licensed financial advisors for free with no strings attatched would be appropriate? Am I wrong?

Thanks,

MileHighHarris

P.S. Keep up the great work!

==Can You Change "Accumlated" to "Accumulated" ==

I just noticed a screw-up of my own making in a bunch of articles in the "Indy 500 drivers" category. I wrote "accumlated" when I meant "accumulated" (see [[Mauri Rose]]). Can you add this typo to the lists driving JoeBot and save me from further humiliation? Thanks in advance! --[[User:Mycroft.Holmes|Mycroft.Holmes]] 02:47, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

==Automated message to bot owners==

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]]:

<blockquote>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 [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats|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.</blockquote>

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. --[[User:Mets501|Mets501]] 03:08, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

=="penninsular" -> "peninsular"==

Howdy. We apparently have some instances of "penninsular" instead of "peninsular". [http://www.bartleby.com/61/45/P0164500.html]

It appears in some proper names, in which for all I know the "misspelling" is actually correct, but also in some usages where it probably should be corrected. (Ditto for "penninsula", I see.) Thanks. -- [[User:201.19.77.39|201.19.77.39]] 17:48, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
