Tagging and Fixing

Hi, the bot just keeps adding this as an edit description. Can something be done to give an edit description as to what it has done to the article. In some cases there is no tagging at all. A description of what has been fixed or tagged would help in scanning watchlists. Many thanks Keith D (talk) 16:35, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

I am afraid in AWB there is no way to add an edit summary for each type of edit. One thing it does do is if ti adds a tag it will say which tag. I am hopping that a feature like you described will be added soon but it will take time and alot of hard work from the developers. ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 16:45, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. Keith D (talk) 17:49, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Addbot removing stub template?

Addbot recently removed a math-stub template and made no other changes to the page: [1]. I'm guessing this is not the intended behavior, so I'm bringing it to your attention. Ozob (talk) 00:22, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

The bot is actually meant to do this in its tagging routine and it knows what to unmark from stub by how many characters there are on the page. If it is above X ammount it will remove the tag. ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 19:45, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

The only reason I do this is as I am trying to add answers to the article and if people update the tally without me knowing I keep on getting edit conflicts. If I do it then I know that no one else has to do it but I see where you are coming from. ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 16:46, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Workaround for status bot update interval

I noticed your comments at Soxred93's talk page about status bot's interval time. I just thought I'd let you know I hacked up a workaround, feel free to modify to taste:

  {{ #switch: {{User:StatusBot/Status/Xenocidic}}
   | online=<font color=green>'''Online'''</font>
   | offline={{ #ifexpr:  ({{#time:U}}-{{#time:U|{{User:StatusBot/Status/Xenocidic/LastEdit}}}}) 
     > 7200 | <font color=red>'''Offline'''</font> | <font color=orange>'''Somewhat Online'''</font> }}
  }}

Presently it will show me "Somewhat online" if my last edit was less than 2 hours ago (7200 seconds). cheers, xenocidic ( talk ¿ review ) 15:40, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for this find! ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 15:42, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Re: TBGS copyright issue

(copied over from my talk page:) Hi, Addshore. There's really not too much reason to take it over to OTRS now, because in any case the content you added wasn't really relevant to the article, which is why I deleted it in the first place; it was only subsequently that I realized that there was a problem with plagiarism / copyvio.

I should say that I feel somewhat bad if something I pointed out were to mean that your RfA failed. But it is a serious issue, and I thought it important that I mention it. And then your initial response rather compounded the problem. You obviously have lots of supporters, and do good work in other ways on the encyclopedia (though here's a bit of vandalism that you missed!). I feel sure that, if you attempt fails this time, you will have more success in the future.

In the meantime, if you want help working on an article--and I think it's useful that you gain some experience there, simply so you know how Wikipedia articles are written, and the issues involved--I'd be happy to help out. We would work on improving TBGS, for instance.

All the best. --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 23:07, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

WP:HAU has a new format

Due to popular demand, HAU has a new look. Since the changes are so dramatic, I may have made some mistakes when translating the data. Please take a look at WP:HAU/EU and make sure your checkmarks are in the right place and feel free to add or remove some. There is a new feature, SoxBot V, a recently approved bot, automatically updates your online/offline status based on the length of time since your last edit. To allow SoxBot V to do this, you'll need to copy [[Category:Wikipedians who use StatusBot]] to your userpage. Obviously you are not required to add this to your userpage, however, without this, your status will always be "offline" at HAU. Thanks. Useight (talk) 17:12, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Hey, when a bot-flagged account makes a minor edit to a user talk page, it does not trigger the new messages bar. When running the bot to deliver messages, could you make sure that the edits aren't marked as minor? Thanks! WODUP 21:45, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Has anyone got any bright ideas with deciding on the correct Creative Commons License?

Hello there, I have been working on a project now for 29 years, and have finally come to the point of releasing some material to the Community, but now face the delema of making the right choice.

Hi there. Personally I would pick one of the CC licenses and I would also read up on their website about them.

Orphan tagging bot

Hey, I know that Addbot goes through Special:Lonelypages to identify and tag orphans. Does it also go the rest of mainspace looking for them? Is there another bot that does this? WikiProject Orphanage is looking for a bot that can do that, either working off a database dump or through article creation patrolling.--Aervanath's signature is boring 19:19, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes my bot could do this. It could work from a database dump but getting the list from Special:NewPages is currently not working but I would defiantly like to help out with this. I dont know if it can go through the patrol logs and will check this soon. ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 08:31, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Cool! Glad to have your help. I don't know much about bots, but anything I can do help, just let me know!--Aervanath's signature is boring 17:33, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Don't forget, my bot is also doing it. Soxred 93 12:07, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Two bots both patrolling Special:Lonelypages seems like a little overkill, and also a little limited, since that page only holds 1000 articles. I think it would be great if we could have at least one bot trying to process articles that aren't on Lonelypages.--Aervanath's signature is boring 15:28, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

AIV

[2] There is no point in giving warnings to the umpteenth sockpuppet of the Avril Lavigne/RefDesk vandal. Dragons flight (talk) 09:59, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

On that report I was stating the obvious but he, and the people he was warring with, had just been blocked for edit waring therefor he should have been removed anyway. If it was a sock the AIV is not the place to go to put you should go to WP:SSP.·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 10:03, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

No, SSP is slow and intended for cases that are possibly debatable. The RD vandal is nothing but recurrent pattern vandalism and simply needs to be blocked. And no, no one he was warring with was blocked because Xcamberx (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) and Thiagara (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) are simple vandals not edit warriors. Dragons flight (talk) 10:09, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Firstly they had an edit war on WP:AIV also on the ref desk as you can see in his contribs and both of these users were blocked for edit waring by Luna-San as someone reported it. Once I knew they were being blocked I removed the report as it was resolved. The users were acctually really warring over who got blocked, exchanging one user on AIV for another. In my opinion it doesn't really matter if they got blocked for vandalism, edit waring or socking. ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 10:24, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

You're not reading the log right, the "edit war" on AIV consisted on the vandal using misleading edit summary to remove the report of his own vandalism. He never actually reported anyone else. The "edit war" on the RefDesk was pure vandalism. Dragons flight (talk) 10:32, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Addbot tagging

Hello,

Addbot has tagged several pdf-images/documents with the following {{BadFormat}} tag:

• File:Application-501-CSI.pdf
• File:Analysis-Financial-Flows-RTC.pdf
• File:Amendement-Incorporation-IGN.pdf
• File:Amended Articles of Incorporation SMI.pdf
• File:Amended Articles of Incorporation RTC.pdf
• File:Amended Articles of Incorporation CST.pdf

Please be aware that I use the files as references for Scientology-related articles, such as Church of Scientology International or Religious Technology Center. The original format of the documents are tiff-files and were then converted into pdf, which is the appropriate format for these documents.

I think that these documents are wrongly tagged by Addbot.

Cheers, Martin Ottmann (talk) 16:03, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

The tag just states that the file was uploaded in a non-image format. Also that the information it contains could be stored more efficiently in the PNG format, the SVG format, or as plain text in an article. Which it could be. IT goes onto say if the information is encyclopedic, please integrate its text and information into an article, or consider copying it to Wikisource. As you are using them as references then they are being integrated into articles "kind of" and if it is free use then wikisource is the place for it. This is more of an information tag that means no offense. The bot is being discussed here currently and if you would like to comment more then please do so there. There has already been a discussion there and also on WT:CSD providing consensus for this bot request which is here I hope this clears things up. ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 16:32, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

TP Page

We were using the talk page. The editor in question not only refused editor consensus, but general editing guidelines, and was reverting all edits by all other editors.

WP:HAU

Hello yet again. I regretfully inform you that the bot we were using to update the user status at Wikipedia:Highly Active Users, SoxBot V, was blocked for its constant updating. With this bot out of operation, a patch is in the works. Until that patch is reviewed and accepted by the developers, some options have been presented to use as workarounds: 1) Qui monobook (not available in Internet Explorer); 2) User:Hersfold/StatusTemplate; 3) Manually updating User:StatusBot/Status/USERNAME; or 4) Not worry about it and wait for the patch to go through, which hopefully won't take long.

Please fix {uncat} tags from Addbot to "year in baseball" articles"

The first hundred or so entries currently in uncategorized pages are 1877 in baseball, 1888 in baseball and so forth. All of these articles were categorized into Category:1877 in baseball, Category:1888 in baseball and so forth, as appropriate. Yet Addbot tagged all these pages as uncategorized, and I undid five of the taggings before I realized what happened. If you could rollback the bot edits to the "year in baseball" articles, that would save me (or someone else) a lot of time. Thank you. Shalom (Hello • Peace) 23:29, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi there. I know know the reason why the bot tagged these, It is as to it (looking at what appears in the edit windows) there appears to be no category's. I will notify the devs for AWB about this and I will also go through and revert all of the bots changes. Thanks for telling me about this error. ·Ãḍď§ђɸŗЄ· ^Talk 06:17, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Just to let you know I have gone through all of the edits and have reverted the edits by the bot that added the uncat tag if they had not already been reverted.

I will not re run the bot until this is fixed or I have found a way to fix it. ·Ãḍď§ђɸŗЄ· ^Talk 06:37, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Hiya - you either missed one or the dreaded bot struck again :-) See 1987 in baseball - I've fixed it (initially by adding a category, but now by reverting it to the version prior to the bot). CultureDrone (talk) 06:49, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi again - a quick update - Rjwilmsi has been tidying some of the baseball articles using AWB - apparently one of AWB's 'general fixes' is marking these pages as uncategorised again. I've told him about the issues with templates/categories and I think he's going to stop for the moment, and I've gone through the articles and cleared the uncat tag, but the problem may occur if other people edit using these utilities.....what's wrong with typing everything in longhand anyway ?! It's never done me any harm...flibble... :-) CultureDrone (talk) 21:13, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes currently anyone that tags the pages using AWB will tag them with uncat. I guess we will just have to revert them and tell them not to do it until it is fixed :> The problem with doing it by had is the fact that my bot is meant to be checking about 100,000 pages or something ^^ ·Ãḍď§ђɸŗЄ· ^Talk 21:16, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

I do not think that you should have removed the template as everything that it says is true. It is not asking for the pdf to be deleted but only informing that it could be stored in a better format. The pdf is likely to be re tagged next time the bot gets run as there is still consensus to do so.

Thats acctually not a bad idea! Maybe we should all make a template to welcome users hat have not yet contributed. Ill get onto this soon. Thanks for the idea! ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 16:54, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Let me know when you have it and I will use that instead. Be well. Ecoleetage (talk) 16:55, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Welcome users

Hi there. Don't you think that it is a bit weired that you welcome users before they have made any contributions with a template that says thanks for you contributions (see User talk:ElonBrennan)? Maybe you could wait until they have made some contributions before you welcome them? This is only my opinion and I do not mean to jump on you. ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 16:52, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes I do see what you are saying maybe I should look at which template I am putting on their talkpage before I put it on. Thanks for bringing that up I didnt think about that but the one on that users page is a welcome doesnt say anything about contributions jsut says about heading down to the new contributors page. Thanks again. Chemistrygeek (talk) 16:57, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

I am currently discussing about making a new template for welcomming users that have no contributions. Ill let you know when more happens on this. ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 16:59, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

If you want any help in developing the template then I am sure that I can help you out if you want me to. Chemistrygeek (talk) 17:00, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

I think I will more than likely just take one of the other templates and change it slightly. I will remove the bit that says thanks for contributions and add something else. ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 17:01, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

I will give it a go now see what happens. Chemistrygeek (talk) 17:03, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Ok go for it :> Give me a link once you have! ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 17:04, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

User:Entertainmentsource go onto their talkpage and then read that welcome and then compare it in the history to the original. Chemistrygeek (talk) 17:09, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

There seems to be nothing there for me at the moment... Are you sure you have saved it ? :D ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 17:13, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes I saved it you have to read it I removed the contributions bit and also added in thanks for joining. Chemistrygeek (talk) 17:15, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

sorry im blind (I was looking at the user page not the talk page). Yep that looks very good. Ill try to implement some new templates soon ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 17:17, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Where do you think that I should take the template to? Should I take it to the Village Pump? I dont know who would be interested in it. Chemistrygeek (talk) 17:18, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

I can deal with that. I will make the templates for you and I will message you once I have done them. (Could be a day or 2 as there are many welcome templates to create / change) ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 17:20, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Ok thanks I will have a little look into it aswell. Maybe we can look into it together? Chemistrygeek (talk) 17:37, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

To get yourself into the accountcreator group you have to ask an admin if you can have it (like rollback). They will look at your contribs e.t.c and then either give you the group or not. I hope this helps. ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 06:38, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned disambiguation pages

Hi Addshore, is there any way you could prevent your bot from tagging disambiguation pages as orphans? There's really no point in tagging those, since those really SHOULDN'T be linked to from articles.--Aervanath lives in the Orphanage 13:17, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi there. Currently the bot skips all pages with the word "disambig" meaning it should skip all pages that as disambiguations. If there are any which the bot has tagged please show me the diff so I can try to fix this but it shouldnt happen again. ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 13:36, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

New user looking to be adopted.

Hello. My user name: Crimson Red Fox and I am looking to be adopted. I am NOT a tech savvy person and do not understand some aspects to editing Wikipedia.

I clicked on the edit button to add information on how to create a slipknot for Crochet & Knitting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip_knot

My entry does not look right when I compare it to other pages despite my trying out the sandbox.

Questions:

When should a table be added to a page? Ie: Just after a subject is introduced a table breaking down the different subjects with links to that particular part of the page.

I am hoping you can tell me where I am supposed to include “verifiable” information? In the case of making a slipknot I know how to make a slip knot but I originally learned it from my mother. So, I am thinking mom is not exactly a verifiable source.

What cases do I use an external web site? I don’t want others to think that I am endorsing a particular site but sometimes examples from external links are helpful. So, when does it become spam versus just information for others?

I do NOT understand how to use markup language to link to sites or how to link to Wikipedia pages without the http etc...

I hope this is not too much to ask. If so, please let me know. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Crimson Red Fox (talk • contribs) 01:36, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Hey. User:Steve_Crossin has offered to addopt you. Please get in touch with him and ask him these questions. I am sure he can help you! Have a great time in the adoption program. ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 07:00, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Addbot task request

So is that it for the task request? Where can we go from here?--Aervanath lives in the Orphanage 19:23, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Well I don't think that the task will go through. It will probably end up the same a Cluebot V which was going to do a similar task. I can still tag lists of articles with my current bot though. Also the creator of the Cluebots is doing more work on his similar task so that might be up in the future. If you have any lists of articles you would like me to go through them feel free to send them to me. ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 22:08, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Well, the problem is that the list of articles I wanted the bot to go through was the entire database.  :) However, I guess what could be done was a sort of analysis like was done to produce Wikipedia:WikiProject Orphanage/Articles orphaned without redirects (from a 2003 database dump) and Wikipedia:WikiProject Orphanage/Orphaned Articles (2004 database dump). Would it be possible to run through the most recent database dump, find articles which meet the criteria, and make lists of them, excepting those that already have orphan, do-attempt, geo-orphan, or do-attempt-geo tags? De-orphaners could then run through those lists manually, tagging and de-orphaning as necessary. Is that doable?--Aervanath lives in the Orphanage 19:15, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes I think that could be do able. The problem that they had was they dont like bots going through and tagging new pages as they get created :> p.s. sorry for my late reply ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 06:40, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Teacher learning academy

A tag has been placed on Teacher learning academy, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of Teacher learning academy and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Goodvac (talk) 18:50, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

I am now a bit confused about the past history of this article, but I will make the following points:

• all edits are currently at User:Addshore/notepad/Teacher learning academy
• the tone needs to be changed into that of an encyclopedia article instead of a government hand out
• if you install it in the article namespace, you must move it. Copy&paste throws away the edit history
• the new title should of course be Teacher Learning Academy.

— RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 19:22, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Firstly thanks for your comment. I don't actually why I did a cut and paste move instead of just moving. I normally just move the stubs that I create into the article space but for some reason today I did not. When I reinstate the article after making more changes to it, hopefully removing the government handout tone from it I will rename it to Teacher Learning Academy. I will also add some redirects from other pages to here. Again thanks for your comments. ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 06:25, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
