MtC drive subpage

As the page is getting very long (330,842 bytes), and it's hard to write in different sections even for some users, I will be moving your logs to Wikipedia:WikiProject Images and Media/Commons/Drives/Jan 2012/Logs/Multichill. You're doing well and keep it up! ~~Ebe123~~ → report on my contribs. 01:32, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Or just link to http://toolserver.org/~multichill/temp/queries/uploads/my_jan_2012_transfers.txt . Multichill (talk) 01:33, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure how you're doing the transfers, but all of the ones I randomly spotchecked still have the bright yellow template indicating that they need to be manually reviewed, and some of the ones I checked were categorized. Please make sure that you find some time to go through all of the transfers and make sure that they're complete. Sven Manguard Wha? 17:07, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm using a bot optimized to efficiently and correctly transfer files which are own work to Commons. Every transfer is tagged to know what image still needs some categorization attention. Multichill (talk) 20:40, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lots more files needs the template removed and categorized. I checked a lot of the files. When awarding comes, we might have to dis-count all of them. ~~Ebe123~~ → report on my contribs. 23:42, 19 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The goal of the drive is to properly move as many files as possible. That's exactly what I'm doing. You should wonder why one person on it's own moved more files than all other people combined instead of leaving discouraging notes like you did. Multichill (talk) 15:45, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Quantity is no substitute for quality. You should not be comparing yourself to others either. The reason why you're moving more images is with mass-transfer scripts and one of your bots. ~~Ebe123~~ → report on my contribs. 01:59, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free files in your user space

Hey there Multichill, thank you for your contributions! I am a bot, alerting you that non-free files are not allowed in user or talk space. I removed some files I found on User:Multichill/Kladblok.

See a log of files removed today here.
Shut off the bot here.
Report errors here.
If you have any questions, place a {{helpme}} template, along with your question, beneath this message.

Thank you, -- DASHBot (talk) 05:07, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your bot

It seems your bot is removing "do not move to Commons" tags, making itself free to proceed to then move them to Commons. --Sable232 (talk) 17:25, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That's correct. I was moving the files at User:Multichill/top self uploaders/Sable232 to Commons. Multichill (talk) 17:41, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

So... why is "please do not move this image to Commons" ignored? --Sable232 (talk) 17:47, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

{{Do not move to Commons}} says that the file can not be moved to Commons because it is unfree in some way. Your files was not unfree so the template was incorrect. Now that the files are on Commons they can be used in other Wikipedias. --MGA73 (talk) 18:41, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oh... The addition made the part about the unfree disappear. Anyway when the file is on Commons it can be used on other Wikipedias so it is better to have free files there. --MGA73 (talk) 21:17, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Request for Interview Regarding Wikipedia Bots

Greetings Multichill-

My name is Randall Livingstone, and I am a graduate student at the University of Oregon, currently collecting data for my dissertation on Wikipedia editors who create and use bots and assisted editing tools, as well as editors involved in the initial and/or ongoing creation of bot policies on Wikipedia. As a member of the bot community and bot operator, I would very much like to interview you for the project at a time and in a method that is most convenient for you (Gchat, another IM client, Skype, email, telephone, etc.). I am completely flexible and can work with your schedule. The interview will take approximately 30-45 minutes.

My dissertation project has been approved both by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) at the University of Oregon, and by the Research Committee at the Wikimedia Foundation. You can find more information on the project on my meta page.

Please let me know if you have any questions, and I look forward to hearing from you to set up a time to chat. Thank you very much.

Randall Livingstone, School of Journalism & Communication, University of Oregon

Sure. Next couple days during the evening (Amsterdam time) using Skype would be nice. I'll send you an email for details. Multichill (talk) 18:14, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That would be great. I'll look for your email. Thanks! Randall UOJComm (talk) 21:39, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Re:User:Multichill/top_self_uploaders

This file report is very useful! Thanks for it! Bulwersator (talk) 16:27, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. I'm glad you like it :-) Multichill (talk) 21:25, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Question on deleting files.

I came across Marc Swadel. There is some obvious problems with the photos... how can the uploader be in the photo and take the photo? I've always wondered what to do in this situation. On commons, it usually takes several minutes of puttering around till I find the answer, but I don't know what to do on Wikipedia's side. Bgwhite (talk) 07:12, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Uploading
