Approval

Is this bot approved for use by the Bot Approvals Group? I just want to make sure that all of the required prerequisites have been met so that this account isn't blocked by someone else. :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 12:07, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Oshwah It isn't, I was testing out a few scripts that I had written to generate a report for all non-archived dead links in Featured articles (and another report for Good articles report that I'm currently running it seems like crawling those links will take approximately 14 years unfortunately, I should really parallelize that.). I'm not expecting the bot to start editing outside of it's userspace anytime soon, which should not require approval :) Sohom (talk) 13:14, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sohom Datta - Meh... *Shrugs*... See no crime here. ;-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 13:30, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for persistently making disruptive edits.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Bbb23 (talk) 13:57, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Noting that the bot was still operating in userspace under my supervision and did not to my knowledge make any disruptive edits (or was supposed to make any disruptive edits). Sohom (talk) 14:09, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah I see I guess a ping went through is that the issue here? Sohom (talk) 14:10, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, and based on what you said on my Talk page, I've unblocked your bot. Have fun.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:38, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Task 3 (FRS)

@Sohom Datta: When Yapperbot used to prune the userlists, it would remove any user subpage from the list as inactive user. For instance, I have separate supages for FRS notification, and don't want the bot to dump them in my main talk page. Since, botop was inactive, I made peace with it, and began manually archiving the FRS notifications from the main talk page to FRS subpage. Now that you are taking over, can you modify the pruner to correctly identify the user from subpage? Thanks! —CX Zoom[he/him] ^{(let's talk • {C•X})} 18:41, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Noted, I think fixed this case, next pruner will be the test! Sohom (talk) 04:17, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I have added my talk subpage to the list to test it: Special:Diff/1300032200. —CX Zoom[he/him] ^{(let's talk • {C•X})} 22:28, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Did another run of pruner today, it looks like the code change works! Sohom (talk) 05:44, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

trialing replacing Yapperbot

Since this bot was approved last month, shouldn't this text right before the signature be adjusted? Aaron Liu (talk) 22:05, 4 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
