Info created by Eatcha - uploaded by Eatcha - nominated by Eatcha -- Eatcha (Talk-Page) 13:39, 17 May 2019 (UTC)- Info Asiatic lions are extremely rare (only 650, as of 2017). Asian lions used to range from Turkey, across Asia, to eastern India, but now they are near-extinction.
Support -- Eatcha (Talk-Page) 13:39, 17 May 2019 (UTC)- Support Not something we see too often here.--Peulle (talk) 15:49, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
- Support. Vulphere 16:04, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
- Support Not exactly a very pleasant photograph to say the least, but a good one. Cmao20 (talk) 16:04, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
- Support -- Johann Jaritz (talk) 16:12, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
Oppose Certainly a photo of high educational value but not really very sharp. But the most disturbing thing is the narrow crop at the top.--Ermell (talk) 19:32, 17 May 2019 (UTC)- Oppose Qua Ermell. C-M (talk) 20:09, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose - On the whole, I agree with Ermell. This is a really useful VI but not an FP to my eyes. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:56, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose Not FP for me--BoothSift 22:32, 17 May 2019 (UTC)

test image - -- Eatcha (Talk-Page) 13:04, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
- Sorry, since you did withdraw it, it is archived manually and not by the Bot (It is ignoring 'withdraw' templates and will let this run for the full nine days before it picks it up). You have to do your test some other way. Trust me, we are very tired of this malfunctioning Bot and that no one will fix it, I can't do that I'm sorry to say --Cart (talk) 13:11, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
I withdraw my nomination Thanks for you votes/reviews Eatcha (Talk-Page) 12:42, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
- Cart, could you please tell me when it stated to malfunction ? Around April 2019 ? -- Eatcha (Talk-Page) 13:25, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
- I don't know exactly. It has been ignoring some of its tasks (not closing/removing FPX, FPD, withdraw, reading any additional file as an Alt, not responding to templates like 'weak support', etc.) as long as I have been active on FPC. So at least since June 2016. I have asked the BotPeople several times to get it fixed, without success. If you know how to fix it (or know someone who can), that would be WONDERFUL! I have sort of given up by now. --Cart (talk) 13:39, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
- Cart, I need read, write and execute permission in that repository, to edit the source. Any Idea how to contact the Admin(s) ? -- Eatcha (Talk-Page) 13:46, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
- You can simply ask on the talk page of one of the admins. (BTW, do you have the Preferences → Gadgets → Interface: Other → MarkAdmins box checked to keep track of what users are admins?) I think the right admin for this would be Yann since they have also worked a lot with keeping the FPC list clean when the Bot is not working properly. Or they may know who to contact. --Cart (talk) 13:53, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
- Eatcha, sorry, I forgot to ping, but I guess you are watching this anyway. --Cart (talk) 13:59, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
- Cart,Sorry for my vague reply, Actually Wikimedia Admins aren't the admin of a particular tool hosted on the tools server. I mean the person who created the tool (The FPCBot)? Or any other person with that level of privilege who can add me to the maintainers list ? I know that the creator is inactive now -- Eatcha (Talk-Page) 14:03, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
- Comment The FPCBot maintainer said that he won't do any bug fix, but he welcomes any patch. This bot obviously needs a new maintainer. Regards, Yann (talk) 14:10, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
- Eatcha, I actually don't know. Perhaps KTC (who is also involved with this) knows who to contact for the permission. Otherwise you should ask at Commons:Village pump/Technical. So I take it that Yann don't know who to contact then either for the permission to do the patch work. --Cart (talk) 14:16, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
- Daniel78 has not edited Commons since 13 February 2017, but he is still officially the maintainer. Probably some people with advanced permissions on the Toolserver can help. @Steinsplitter: Any idea? Regards, Yann (talk) 14:21, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
- Sorry, I don't have time and no access to FPCBot. The source code seems to be here. --Steinsplitter (talk) 14:27, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
- I know that the source is on GitHub but I need full access to the repo on tool server. Thanks -- Eatcha (Talk-Page) 14:31, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
- @Eatcha: The source code for the bot is updated with any changes from github daily. If you submit patches to the GitHub project, Daniel had said previously that he will review/commit it. He is still active on GitHub. If you want to formally take over, you'll need to ask him. -- KTC (talk) 15:46, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
- I guess we can pull the source code from somewhere else instead as well, but I don't think direct changes to the code on Cloud with no version control somewhere accssible would be a good idea. -- KTC (talk) 15:50, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
- KTC, I emailed him about the issue and if he has no problem in stepping down. If I say that I would stay here for years that would be a lie but I would at least fix the issues once in a 6 months if I takeover and then left commons and please note that as of now I am not used to the Wikimedia tool-forge , I joined it just 4 days ago but I can fix this python script + add new features in the BOT. -- Eatcha (Talk-Page) 18:10, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
Eatcha, do not feel any pressure! If you can fix it for now, that would be fantastic. You can stay as long, or short, as you like. Someone else will take over after you, at least we would get the code updated and the Bot fixed for now. 
And don't think you have to answer any posts right away, we all have normal lives too. --Cart (talk) 18:16, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
- There's really nothing about Cloud that need to be understood unless you want to do more. At the moment, all it's being used for here is a server that's up all the time running two cron job, one git pull'ing daily from the GitHub repo, and the other calling the bot script 3 times a day. -- KTC (talk) 09:00, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Eatcha and KTC. I just read the mail and replied to it, and now noticed this thread. Just want to say that it's correct that I am not active here anymore but as mentioned I will be able to review incoming fixes to the github repository. And I think it's a good idea to replace me as the main contact person for the bot. (I have also updated my talk page and the FPCBot page to be more clear about this)./Daniel78 (talk) 11:06, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
- Bug fixing will be discussed on cart's talk page. Want to know why ? because she was the reporter and this page is not a talk-page after all. Thanks, --Eatcha (Talk-Page) 18:09, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
