Recently, I saw an edit by you or your system to something that, although it says my name, I DID NOT PUT IT IN. I refer to the Richard fitz Gilbert article that changes Richard to eo Rickardo - which you then change back. Perhaps I am misunderstanding this - I am fairly new, but is someone valdalizing an article using my name? Mugginsx (talk) 09:29, 10 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Pannier, again.

edit

Why do these robots keep doing this? [1][2][3][4]. Please fix your robot. It is adding links to Alforja, Spain to the article Pannier. --Dbratland (talk) 18:50, 29 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

I think, the problem is not in robots: there is a wrong interwiki link in some article in one of wikipedia projects - so all interwiki robots, that are working with using standart algorithm, add wrong interwikis in other articles. Someone should correct this mistake manually. Dinamik (talk) 20:56, 29 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Your bot is unapproved. Bots must be approved to operate on wiki. See WP:BAG.RlevseTalk 01:50, 4 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

This was a misunderstanding; the bot is flagged globally and seems to be operating within the framework of our local global bot policy (i.e. interwiki linking only). –xenotalk 20:18, 4 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Military disc-shaped aircraft

edit

This appears to have been incorrectly linked to it:Disco volante (aeronautica), and ru:Дискообразные летательные аппараты, which Google translate renders as 'Flying saucer (aviation)', and 'Discoidal aircraft' respectively. Neither is correct, in that it omits the 'Military' qualification, and 'Flying saucer', at least in English, implies something very different. This confusion in terms seems to have been endemic in the English Wikipedia's article history, and it doesn't seem sensible to spread it elsewhere.

Playing the violin

edit

See this diff, and the associated talk page. I believe Strichart is not a completely accurate correspondence to Playing the violin, since it only covers bowing, and omits Griffe und Klangvariation. __ Just plain Bill (talk) 13:14, 28 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Incorrect linking

edit

I don't know what is going wrong but both this bot and User:ChuispastonBot are incorrectly linking the German article de:Röntgensatellit (X-ray satellites, a generic article on the concept) with International X-ray Observatory (a specific X-ray satellite mission) in a number of different language wikis (see for example here). Won't let me fix it... ChiZeroOne (talk) 21:58, 1 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Ligurian language

edit

Hello! Can I ask you to solve the disambiguation problem with interwikis to Ligurian language and respective subarticles (the ancient and the modern Ligurian languages)? The existing situation with interwikis is a mess; I tried to fix it manually, but it has gone too far. Regards, Dmitri Lytov (talk) 03:50, 16 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

Здравствуйте! Не могли бы Вы указать, какие двусторонние интервики являются неверными? Для работы в автоматическом режиме нужно, чтобы не было неверных интервик. Если, например, в xy:A стоит интервика на kl:A, в kl:A стоит интервика на mn:A, в mn:A стоит интервика на xy:A, то бот может пройти и проставить недостающие интервики (с xy:A на mn:A, с kl:A на xy:A, с mn:A на kl:A), но если с xy:A будет стоять интервика на kl:B, с kl:B на mn:C, с mn:C на xy:D, с xy:D на kl:E и mn:F, а оттуда куда-нибудь ещё, бот, насколько я понимаю, такие статьи просто пропустит. Если, положим, Вы в en-wiki проставите все нужные интервики, а во всех остальных оставите только интервику на en-wiki, то я смогу запустить бота и он проставит недостающие взаимные интервики. Но при беглом изучении неверных интервик я пока не заметил (возможно, не сумел идентифицировать). Dinamik (talk) 09:46, 16 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
Я постараюсь в течение суток-двух (я работаю на выходных, так что не всегда времени хватает) составить таблицу соответствия между статьями Ligurian, Ligurian language, Ligurian language (Romance), Ligurian language (ancient) и их иноязычными аналогами. С уважением, --Dmitri Lytov (talk) 12:10, 16 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
К сожалению, пока ещё занят, но вот первый замеченный глюк: чувашская статья cv:Лигур чĕлхи (хальхи) о современном лигурском языке, (ru:лигурский язык (современный)) почему-то во всех интервиках привязана к статьям о древнем лигурском языке, Ligurian language (ancient), ru:лигурский язык (древний). Другие случаи - более тонкие, но это - самый явный ляп. С уважением, --Dmitri Lytov (talk) 03:27, 17 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
Я составил XLS-файл с интервики-соответствиями, куда его слать? Можете написать мне письмо на socion собака rambler.ru, я в ответ пришлю файл. Dmitri Lytov (talk) 19:30, 17 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
Please, check the result: Ligurian, Ligurian language, Ligurian language (ancient), Ligurian (Romance language) and interwikis. Dinamik (talk) 21:09, 18 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

Question

edit

I have a question about User:Dinamik-bot (and other Wikipedia bots that add interwiki links, but since that one is your bot I'll ask mainly about it): I've noticed that there's a frequent phenomenon where some anonymous user or other vandal blanks part of an article, typically including the interwiki links and the categories; the interwiki bots then come along and readd the interwikis, but the page is still left uncategorized until somebody from the categorization project catches the issue and manually reverts back to an edit prior to the initial blanking — see, for example, what recently happened at Gary, Indiana.

So my question is, is there any way to revise the bot's programming to check the edit history to determine whether the lack of interwikis results from a bout of vandalism, and if so, then revert to a prior version rather than just readding the interwikis? I realize that it may be unrealistically difficult, but thought I'd ask anyway as it really would help simplify some things for the uncategorized articles project if indeed it is possible. Thanks.

Elater

You are adding incorrect interwiki links. The Dutch article is about a kind of animal, not about a plant structure. --EncycloPetey (talk) 19:54, 19 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Your bot is still adding the same incorrect links without any reply. The bot has been shut down for 72 hours so that you can correct the problem. --EncycloPetey (talk) 04:09, 1 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Pedro Barbosa

edit

Hi there DINAMIK, AL from Portugal here,

i leave your trusted bot with the following message: please don't re-add the Spanish version of this footballer's article, it leads to a Portuguese jurist from the 16th century, thus wrong. I have browsed the Spanish wiki in search of the Barbosa footballer's article, they do not have it (yet).

Keep up the good work, happy weekend --AL (talk) 23:53, 15 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

WHS

edit

I've reverted your bot's changes to the Western Europe World Heritage Sites. None of the articles match the English article's topic; for example, your bot is connecting the German list of WHS in Austria with this. Please fix. EricLeb01 (Page | Talk) 03:44, 20 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

Your bot continues to re-insert the changes into the article. If I have to revert again I'm shutting it down. EricLeb01 (Page | Talk) 04:25, 20 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
