[edit] Stabby's talkpage stuff
It's very relevant. It's got moar graphs of the community and moar relevant discussion. FU22YC47P07470 (talk/stalk) 17:29, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
- Shit, wait, only the very last section is relevant. FU22YC47P07470 (talk/stalk) 17:31, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks for the welcome.
Cheers! I'm loving the wiki so far. My wiki edits have mostly involved cleaning up spelling and grammatical mistakes, so let me know if I can ever be of help on the editing front. Jwebb (talk) 10:19, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
[edit] Sandbox Move
Yes, that was supposed to be in my userspace. Thanks, and sorry about that. --Castaigne (talk) 19:42, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

[edit] Image policy
I don't know rationalwiki's image policy about stockphotos. I can't find it either. Could you link it for me? Thanks. ShabiDOO 14:29, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks
People take bots for granted. PiBot's drinking wasn't something to be ignored, but nobody even bothered looking. Nope. They exclude bot edits from logs by default! People didn't even notice it stumbling around archiving their pages when it managed to come to work. Even fewer noticed when it gave up on life to go live under a bridge with hobos, who at least pay attention to it when they want some of its booze. Thanks for creating ZooBot. I hope we can treat it better than PiBot. Nutty Roux (talk) 13:08, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
- :D Jokes aside, let me just clear up something: ZooBot is just my bot account, used whenever I have to use some software/script. It's not a specific piece of software that I've written from scratch. The current archiving script that I try to run daily is actually mw:Pywikibot, with a few fixes to deal with RationalWiki's idiosyncrasies.--ZooGuard (talk) 13:58, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
- I Know it's pyWikipediaBot. You'd have to be silly to duplicate its functionality. Thanks for helping is the message. Nutty Roux (talk) 15:22, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
[edit] If you've got time
Back in 2010 User:Lily deleted a bunch of pages from the RationalWiki:Annotated Qur'an project, though they had useful content. Since I'm not sysop, I can't recreate them. If you've got time, can you?
Thanks. Sir ℱ℧ℤℤϒℂᗩℑᑭƠℑᗩℑƠ (talk/stalk) 21:03, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

[edit] Pywikibot
Would your version of rationalwiki_family.py work if I used it? Narky Sawtooth

- I don't know. You can try. It's very brief. As far as I can remember, it's autogenerated. In core/pywikibot/families/rationalwiki_family.py:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
"""
This family file was auto-generated by $Id: <DELETED> $
Configuration parameters:
url = http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Main_Page
name = rationalwiki
Please do not commit this to the Git repository!
"""
from pywikibot import family
from pywikibot.tools import deprecated
class Family(family.Family):
def __init__(self):
family.Family.__init__(self)
self.name = 'rationalwiki'
self.langs = {
'en': 'rationalwiki.org',
}
def scriptpath(self, code):
return {
'en': '/w',
}[code]
@deprecated('APISite.version()')
def version(self, code):
return {
'en': u'1.19.12',
}[code]
I use core/ as a working directory and run all scripts through pwb.py (e.g. "python pwb.py login"). As far as I can understand, pwb.py allows using the bot without having to set up environment variables.--ZooGuard (talk) 19:50, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
- It works. Thank you! Narky Sawtooth

[edit] Mearth
You said you heard my name before. I'm not sure you meant my real name, Michael E. Arth, or my RationalWiki name, Mearth, which also happens to be the name of Jonathan Winters' character on Mork and Mindy. He played the "child." (Orkans age backwards). MEarth Project is also a USF-funded, robotic observatory (since it looks out into space, it looks backwards into the past).
Anyway, thanks for the welcome. I'll try to live up to my screen name and I will try to look forwards.
