VoxelBot
Hi. I wanted to touch base regarding your new bot task for FL and FA closing. I posted a link there to some documentation I wrote up for the FA-related closes. Please let me know if you need me to elaborate on anything. In the meantime, I will continue to manually close FACs and FARs; drop me a line when you're ready for a test run, so I can leave you something to work with. Thanks.

- I'm a bit coded out for now; I worked on the bot for a whole day and it's turning out to be more complicated than I thought. I'm taking a bit of a break and will get back to it when I can. Thank you though, that will help. I'll let you know when I have something to test. Vacation9 22:31, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
- I understand; it's a fairly complex task. The manual work is a nuisance but I've covered for the bot several times before, so I suppose it won't be the death of me anytime soon :) Let me know if any step proves particularly difficult; I might be able to suggest a different approach. Maralia (talk) 19:52, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
- Alright, thanks. I have a question: is it possible for delists not to be covered by the bot? I completely forgot about them when writing it and so my current code is modeled around listings. It would be quite a bit of work to modify for delists, especially considering all the stuff that needs to be done and all the codes for ArticleHistory delistings. It would be possible, but it would take a while. Are delists relatively rare? Vacation9 20:28, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
- Everything is finished (delists not implemented) and I'm ready for a test over at FAC. Already tested at FLC. When you can, just let me know when you have an FAC that's closed. Vacation9 21:42, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
- To make sure I'm understanding you: the current code is ready to test for FAC promotions and archivals, and FAR keeps, but not FAR delistings, yes? That's manageable for the short term, since these days we only have maybe 5 FAR delistings per month on average. It can be the next step after you've had a chance to iron out any issues with the current code.
- I would expect there to be more closings tonight or tomorrow night; I'll drop you a note if I see them happen. Maralia (talk) 23:37, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, that is correct. The bot code runs every day, so it should catch it fine. It is possible I can implement delistings in the future, yes. Vacation9 23:38, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Good luck surviving the trolls
I've been noticing how much your Talk page has been vandalized by immature trolls with too much time on their hands. Just wanted to wish you good luck with it, and hope you continue to do good work on Misplaced Pages despite those difficulties.

- Heh... not to mention an autoconfirmed userpage vandal

New Article Feedback version available for testing
Hey all.
As promised, we've built a set of improvements to the Article Feedback Tool, which can be tested through the links here. Please do take the opportunity to play around with it, let me know of any bugs, and see what you think :).
A final reminder that the Request for Comment on whether AFT5 should be turned on on Misplaced Pages (and how) is soon to close; for those of you who have not submitted an opinion or !voted, it can be found here.

WV county list?????
Hey there- What is happening to this list? I see it getting a FL status then then, lots of code errors on the page. Is it OK??Coal town guy (talk) 21:20, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, it was promoted. Along with Hahc21, I'm testing VoxelBot. We're trying to get the bot working. It should be good now. Vacation9 21:24, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
- COOL, I see no Gold Star on the actual page, but I do see a Featured list template in red, can you correct that?Coal town guy (talk) 21:26, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

WP:UAA
Hi! Please note that it's not necessary to report usernames to UAA if they've not edited in the past month or so. It worsens the backlog and pushes the more time-critical requests to the bottom. Thanks for your understanding and keep up the good work! Tyrol5 21:51, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
- Alright, got it. Sorry about that! Vacation9 21:52, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
- No problem at all. It's a pretty obscure guideline, so don't sweat it. Take care and keep up the good work! Tyrol5 21:59, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
