[edit]Hello! Are you able to fix File:Dialogo (sculpture) by Virginio Ferrari, Chicago, Illinois, 2026.jpg, which was rotated? ---Another Believer (Talk) 00:27, 6 October 2026 (UTC)
- Darn, I updated the dependencies in case something was causing User_talk:DatBot#File:Lion-Heart-Poster.jpg, and it seems like it messed with the metadata adjustment. I stopped the bot mid-run and believe I've fixed and tested the issue. I also uploaded a new version of your image with the Orientation tag stripped out. I'll keep an eye out on the next run (do you have any images with the tag the bot didn't reach?). Thanks for letting me know. DatGuyTalkContribs 01:32, 6 October 2026 (UTC)
Thank you
[edit]Thank you for your sound and rational assessment at the admin noticeboard about me and about the deletion debate. I feel badly for my part in that, and I'm sorry. I can see it makes it harder for people reading the discussion to come to their own conclusions. You are absolutely correct about that. Princessa Unicorn (talk) 12:15, 6 October 2026 (UTC)
- Note: I have chosen to back off from that particular ongoing debate page. To your issue you raised, I saw you mentioned there were others involved in such behavior. I'll respectfully leave it to you to determine what to be done there. I have chosen to stop replying there. I defer to your wise judgment. Princessa Unicorn (talk) 13:36, 6 October 2026 (UTC)
Boo!

Zahrazamedahmedi has given you some caramel and a candy apple! Caramel and candy-coated apples are fun Halloween treats, and promote WikiLove on Halloween. Hopefully these have made your Halloween (and the preceding days) much sweeter. Happy Halloween!
'"On Psych, A USA Network TV series Episode 8, The Tao of Gus, Season 6, Shawn refers to pumpkins as "Halloween Apples" because he thinks all round fruits are a type of apple.
If Trick-or-treaters come your way, add {{subst:Halloween apples}} to their talkpage with a spoooooky message! |
