as they could easily well be comments by different people - especially in Mboverload's case, the extra indentation appears as if somebody else added the comment in response to the original one. As for someone like TBC who writes a lot on one RfA, it's unlikely that they will accidentally vote again on the same one. (Yes yes, these are poor excuses ;)) An "unsure but possibility of duplicate vote" flag might be in order.

Thanks for all your comments. Srikeit, thank you for your continued interest in RfA Analysis :) I've fixed Admrboltz's signature handling issue. I'm well aware of the other two errors - they're caused by the user inserting a newline before their signature. I am not sure whether to deal with this

I had the same thought, but unfortunately I'm using PHP. I'm wondering whether it's possible for my bot to fill in the extra columns (Possible duplicate voters and Details) after your bot's done its work. In any case, the code for my RfA Analysis library (which the toolserver tool and the bot share)

I must say you have done a wonderful job creating this tool. There must be a bunch of relieved bureaucrats sitting now that they don't need to go over every RFA with a magnifying glass. Anyway there are still a few places the tools goes haywire, although I don't think there can be much you can do
198:
Anyway I hope you don't mind me nitpicking here, but I feel you have made a fine tool here & I really want to help you make it better. The bot is an excellent development. I've already added a link of that to my page. Although does the orignal tool also have a replication lag? Because I wall
510:
It sometimes helps to manually archive (if a topic is completely inactive, but someone might add something 5 days later that doesn't really contribute anything) or refactor (if several threads are talking about the same thing - move them to subheadings of a super-thread).
489:
Most of the handful of commenters said the bot would be fine, but a couple thought the archiving should be done manually; then a month passed and no one did any. I don't feel strongly either way but certainly bot archiving is better than no archiving.
538:
Just to make clear, I support the idea of having either one of those bots archiving this page. Does anyone have any objections to contacting Essjay again and asking him to set one of his Essjaybots to archive this page with a 7-day threshold? Thanks!
55:, or watchlisting by users interested in weeding out duplicate votes. I also hope it will be useful for bureaucrats. The bot isn't automatically triggered at the moment - may I have some feedback before embarking on that? Cheers, 115:
But if you do that, the bot that runs at the bottom of each hour and that at the top of the following hour will be way too close together (except for the top of the very first hour). I don't suppose we need so many updates..
413:
Reports are now being updated every 28 minutes past the hour. (Because Dragons flight's summary seems to be updated at 58 past). I'll also be working on some of the remaining kinks with the signature detection. Cheers,
123:
New RfAs (in their first day of listing) pick up votes very quickly, and one never knows just when one wants to check the current status of RfAs. So why not have frequent updates? It's not a big strain on the servers.
224:
So, this has all been a plot to fool us into thinking we don't need bureaucrats anymore. Aha! It won't work, a bot can never take over the job of a bureaucrat. This evil plot will never succeed ;-).
309:
As for the lag Srikeit cites, there is no replication lag with the toolserver tool. (it doesn't use the toolserver database) I'm not sure what caused the issue - if it happens again, please let me know.
51:. It doesn't make any edits elsewhere, and all the nominations are downloaded in a single export operation, so server load shouldn't be too high. I have two uses for the report in mind: transclusion in 497:
Threads can always be resurrected if the bot screws up; I say use it on a long-ish timespan (5-7 days without a comment in that thread), and we can archive more severely if needed. --
102:
If you don't merge, then run your bots at different times (one at the top of the hour, one at the bottom of the hour, for example) so we can always get up to date info :-).
314:
NoSeptember: A historical version of all RfAs sounds interesting. But, as you say, I'll need to fix up the signature handling before doing that. P.S. I've moved the source to
613:
7 or even 10 days feels right to me, and auto archiving is fine by me. Now if someone could write a bot that indexed the archives so we could find things again... :) ++

No reason not to have one of them do the archiving. What should the time-before-archiving be? I suggest 7 days as this isn't as busy a page as, say, the noticeboards.

Can we get Werdnabot or Essjaybot to archive this page? I've just cleared all the stuff from 2006, which has significantly reduced the size of this page. –

Depending on your code base, it might make sense to merge our two products and do everything at once? I am presently doing everything in Python.

Once you get the format perfect and all the bugs out, why not create a historical page of all past RfAs? You can get a list from
48: 288: 622: 21: 179:'s sig (12th Support) just doesn't register. I guess this is because of his sig having some formatting problems. 418: 401: 372: 321: 91: 59: 576:
Given this talk page is pretty slow in comparison with some others, 7 days (or even longer) is appropriate.
