Help needed for changing the title of the topic "Chola Dynasty" to 'Chola Empire"Hello Sir, greetings from N.Srinivasan user srirangam99. To come straight to the point.. I have this book by Prof. K.A.Nilakanta Sastri which is called 'A History of South India : from Pre-historic Times to the Fall of Vijayanagar', it is printed by the Oxford University Press and its ISBN No. 'seems to be' 019 560686-8 (followed by another number below the ISBN lines which is 9 780195606867. The book is in paper back. and the original print is probably 1875 with the current edition being the Twenty first (with Introduction) 2003. In this book on page on page xxiii - the following text appears which I am repeating to you verbatim: """To a large extent, however, the Chola state far more out weighted all other South Indian kingdoms both in territorial and maritime control and stable political structures, and lasted much longer as a regional power (four hundred years) than any of them, except that of Vijayanagar and its description as an empire is more justifiable and valid from several points of view.""" On the basis of the above text, I want to request concerned Administrators that they may like to change the title of this article from CHOLA DYNASTY to "CHOLA EMPIRE". Let me know your response. Sir can you help me with this please? Srirangam99 (talk) 13:25, 1 June 2009 (UTC) Collateral efects of es:usuario:DumZiBoTPlease,stop the bot.

— Dispenser 00:43, 2 June 2008 (UTC) Your botAbsolutely wonderful idea! A small improvement I'd suggest, though: I've read in your talk page archive that you don't want to use citation templates in general, and I understand your reasons for this. However, if an article already uses citation templates in some or most of its references, wouldn't it be more sensible to have your bot convert bare references to a simple citation template reference instead of the non-template format? —Nightstallion 11:34, 1 June 2008 (UTC) noreferences.py bug# Is there an existing section where we can add the references tag?
for section in wikipedia.translate(self.site, referencesSections):
sectionR = re.compile(r'\r\n=+ *%s *=+\r\n' % section)
[ ... ]
# Create a new section for the references tag
for section in wikipedia.translate(self.site, placeBeforeSections):
# Find out where to place the new section
sectionR = re.compile(r'\r\n(?P<ident>=+) *%s *=+\r\n' % section)
It should be sectionR = re.compile(r'\r\n=+ *%s *=+ *\r\n' % section) and sectionR = re.compile(r'\r\n(?P<ident>=+) *%s *(?P=ident) *\r\n' % section) since headers can trailing white space on the end. This might explain some of the weird things I've seen the script do. Following up on the previous discussion I've tried to reduce the confusion in the documentation about the two scripts being the same. The official release of reflinks.py is running under the reflinks-svn and is almost identical to the svn version. The sources for the online tools are available at http://toolserver.org/~dispenser/resources/sources/. I've also integrated the script with link checker. I would like to eventually merge the scripts in the future. Could there be an iterator function for generating links? I would like to match unlabeled bullet links or give people the option of converting to citation templates. The method that options are passed to the internals is "bulky" if 10 or more options are defined. Additionally, would it be possible with {{dead link}} to include the date parameter, I use non-language portable A passing thought would the pywikipedia community object to AWB like general fixes? — Dispenser 00:53, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

<HTML

CONTENT="Modular DocBook HTML Stylesheet Version 1.7"><LINK
I have also seen <head><title id="pagetitle">Title of page</title>
I have redone the method used to match titles in my version. I have a function which look for tags (title, h1, h2, h3, h4). If the first one is not found it then tried to use the second one till h2 before giving up. Also, if you could implement transform function as a string cleanup function so I could run the function to clean the extra data (like authors, publisher, etc.).

Duplicate references: IMDbCan you teach this bot about the IMDb any better? I see you've flagged some that have links to different subsections of the IMDb page about the same title, like the Trivia page and the Awards page. I think this will be done quite often and they will all quite often be labelled as just "IMDb". The main page for any title takes the form http://www.imdb.com/title/tt### (and for a person it takes the form http://www.imdb.com/title/nm###) but they can have various subsections after that in the URL like /trivia, /quotes, /plotsummary etc. There are also the various URLs that access the same system or shadow systems. The host name could be www.imdb.com, or just imdb.com, or us.imdb.com, or uk.imdb.com, or various others all listed on the page about the IMDb -- SteveCrook (talk) 10:13, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Bizzare mistakeThis bot is doing useful work, but I noticed a strange edit it made when it added a title for a reference to here: http://bridlewoodes.ocdsb.ca/NewsLetters/April2008.pdf from this article. The title it added was "I have started an intermediate drama club", a phrase which I can't find at all in the article or the document referenced. I normally wouldn't bother you with a simple error but this one made me curious. LK (t|c) 02:26, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for your efforts. Unfortunately, there is something seriously wrong with the form of the changes you made in the references, and the "Notes" section is now a mess. If you could help, that would be appreciated. Thanks. 7&6=thirteen (talk) 15:19, 13 August 2008 (UTC) Stan
New feature suggestion - remove duplicate references in same locationLooking at this edit [2] by the bot, I noticed that there are two references to the same source right next to each-other. Having the bot merge references helps highlight this, but it made me wonder if the bot could automatically identify such cases (where two copies of the same reference occur not separated by any article text) and remove the duplicate reference entirely, or flag it somehow to encourage human editors to fix it. Don't know how common this sort of error on wikipedia pages is (may be too rare to be worth bothering with), or how hard it would be to implement (and whether it would require further approval), but thought it worth at least tossing the idea out there. Thanks. Zodon (talk) 18:25, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
Concerns about DumZiBoTPlease see here. Thanks. --Kleinzach 01:26, 14 August 2008 (UTC) Dumzibot = silly : see 42nd (East Lancashire) Division change 07:40 14th August 2008This bot is wrecking links. e.g. it converted <ref>http://www.army.mod.uk/42bde/history.htm</ref> to <ref>[http://www.army.mod.uk/42bde/history.htm Welcome to the new British Army Website - British Army Website<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> : who wants a link announcing "Welcome to the new British Army Website - British Army Website" ? The people who created the linked external website used a stupid generic page heading and dumzibot has just copied this stupid generic page heading into Wikipedia article. The link was better as it was before. Creation of links that display meaningful text requires human skill and thought and should not be automated. So I will just revert this bot's edits where they wreck articles I maintain. There are too many of these stupid mass-damage bots. Rcbutcher (talk) 03:40, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
Check browser settingsOn this edit to Sharoe Green, your bot added a title of "Check browser settings". Is there any way your bot can detect an error of this sort and avoid it? --Dr Greg (talk) 17:18, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
DumZiBoT bare referencesHi, I had a few thoughts on your bot. When DumZiBoT converts simply url links into references, I think it would be much more useful to to use something like {{cite web}} instead of the current approach. For example:
currently becomes
but, it should be something like
While we do not want to show absurdly long urls in full, showing at least the domain, is good, in fact critical. Perhaps, you could truncate url text after some arbitrary point (maybe use ellipses). Since all this appears in the references section, and not the body of the article, it's ok to have a bit of detail in citations. Wikipedia needs to show where content came from, and web page titles often don't show that. Sometimes they are blatantly misleading. If all the references used in an article are from a particular domain of dubious reliability (like myspace), it's nice for the reader to be able to see that quickly, without having to read the Wiki markup, or hovering over each link. Also, newbies who see a {{cite web}} tag are likely to fix and improve them, filling in other fields (we could use field names as place holders, so people are aware of them, such as the "date" field), that a bot could never fill-in. --Rob (talk) 23:02, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
DumZiBoT BPL Page revisionDear DumZi, please accept this expression of my most distinguished sentiments, but your bot ran wild and free on the Barton Paul Levenson page and scattered or deleted some important references. While the effort was noble, and I hold you in the highest regard, I had to roll back to even understand where we started. Your humble servant: Botendaddy (talk) 07:57, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
Bot [ looooooooooooooong paaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuse] generated titleI keep finding the phrase "Bot generated title". Is it impossible for this bot to write "Bot-generated title" with a proper hyphen? Michael Hardy (talk) 14:38, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
Reflinks.py problem with autogenerated names for refsDear NicDumZ! I find your recent improvement of reflinks.py to combine identical citations quite useful, but a bit buggy. It seems to rename named refs for no reason (instead of using the user-given name for them at all occurrences), somehow messing up citations in the form of <ref name="a">Text</ref><ref name="a">_</ref> which works correctly, but after a rename it does not: [3][4]. An other problem is that for some reason the rendering of refs doesn't really work on long pages after an edit with reflinks.py: [5][6]. I hope these can be fixed, otherwise it will get quite tiresome to hand-check every single edit of the bot on the actual wiki to check for rendering errors of MediaWiki. --Dami (talk) 16:24, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
shhhquiet down —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.182.209.206 (talk) 08:16, 19 August 2008 (UTC) Markup tags included in bot-generated titleI noticed that this edit (at line 58) made by the bot included a lot of meta keywords in the title, which were then added as clear text in the footnote. I've reverted that particular portion of the edit. You might want to update the bot to strip out such mark-up from a title before adding it. Keep up the otherwise good work.

As you can see, the references were already broken beforehand, and the bot left them broken in a slightly different (and as it happens uglier, but that's neither here nor there) way. Would it be possible for the bot to pick up on this sort of thing, and drop a warning somewhere or add a cleanup template? I don't know what kind of programming that would require, but it would a big difference (and, from your point of view, avoid a situation where someone might wrongly think the bot has screwed up).

MauritsBot on nl.wikion nl.wikipedia there have been several cases in which a bot called MauritsBot, referring to en:User:DumZiBoT/refLinks in the Edit summary, added <references /> when a similar thing was already present. The bot added == Voetnoten == <references />. And case is that {{referenties}} and {{appendix}} are templates that have the heading already included, together with some other features. Problem is that the bot added == Voetnoten == <references /> still, even though one of those templates was already used. Ofcourse, it's not strange, since because of the template <references /> is no longer literally present in the article. If it doesn't stop quick it may or may not get the bot blocked on nl.wikipedia.org .... These are the templates that are most common:

Wrong portuguese interwikiYour bot is doing wrong edits on the page Generation Z putting interwiki not related to this article. For example, the version in Portuguese is related to the article of a brazilian ISP. Viniciustlc (talk) 09:47, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Battle of Bir-el Harmat An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Battle of Bir-el Harmat. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Battle of Bir-el Harmat. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:12, 28 July 2009 (UTC) BugfixHi! Can you apply this bugfix? I've a question. How can I have the commit access? I fixed some bugs in past. I could help you in development. --Mauro742 (Talk) 09:57, 18 September 2009 (UTC) Your BotHi, I saw that your bot hasn't been making any edits for some time now.

Wrong interwiki spanish-german Reelección presidencialHello, In spanish Reelección presidencial does not correspond with Amtszeit in german. Consider to correct it, Thank you.es:Ildefonk. --Ildefonk (talk) 11:57, 10 November 2009 (UTC) BOT generates foreign language referencesAre you aware that your BOT generates references in what would be foreign language text for the English Wikipedia? I am sure this is a global repercussion of your BOT, but the example that I am referring to is the Virgin of Candelaria article. Those references are essentially unusable to those users on the English Wikipedia that are not multi-lingual. I don't oft-hand know if Wikipedia's rules are to delete foreign language references or not, however they give a false impression to article writers and readers that there are actual references supporting the article information, as no one (or a tiny subset) of people can read the cited reference. In fact, the references used may not be referring to the specific topic at hand at all, but no one can tell to verify or dispute this. Hence, the information may be true, or then again it may not be true. Isn't that misappropriating the concept of information democracy that Wikipedia was purportedly created for?

Getting archive urls with a botHi NicDumZ, I left a question/request at Wikipedia:Bot requests/Archive 32#Getting links from web.archive.org and, since you seem to use reflinks.py with your bot, I thought you might have some idea about how to retrieve information from external sites like this. If you have some time, would you be able to take a look and let me know if you would be able to offer pointers? Thanks, rʨanaɢ talk/contribs 01:44, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
try: urllib2.urlopen(url).read() except urllib2.HTTPError, e: if e.code == 410 or (e.code == 404 and url in textfilewithdeadlinks) which would give the link two trys before assuming that it is dead. Tim1357 (talk) 23:04, 7 December 2009 (UTC) running a bot from the toolserverA while back, when you helped me write this bot, you also very kindly volunteered to run it periodically from the toolserver. Are you still willing to do so? How would you do so: by reading the bot code each time or by using the current code unless notified to change? And would the edits to wikt:Wiktionary:Entries needing topical attention be attributed to your enwikt account?

Alexander McQueenCan you please kindly run the bot to fix the Alexander McQueen (brand) page's 100+ refernece links? I've attempted to do so with the bot but was unsucessful. Thank you.Reqluce (talk) 18:56, 4 November 2010 (UTC) reflinksi managed to get the automatic version working, but i was wondering if you could get the bot to remove anything before a colon (:)? In some sourced the name of the source shows up before the title, which distracts from the source itself. In Al Jazeera sources, for example, the name comes up after which is good, but otherswise we have something like "PressTV : ..." which reflect that as being part of the title.Lihaas (talk) 22:35, 20 November 2010 (UTC) Love this optionHave one concern ....have been using this for years and recently when i use it i get logged out of /secure.wikimedia.org, anything we can do to help this.Moxy (talk) 16:16, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
reflinkscan the basic version be programmed to add a "dead" link tag? i cant figure otu hwo to use the manual version.(Lihaas (talk) 18:50, 30 December 2010 (UTC)).
cite tag, againI've read the discussion on why the bot does not use the Cite tag and tend to agree with the others in the thread that point to it promoting good citation habits and laying the groundwork for further expansion. I also understand that this is your bot and it's your call on how it is implemented. With all that in mind, would you be willing to share your code for a spinoff version that does use the cite tag?--RadioFan (talk) 13:53, 19 June 2011 (UTC) EsperantoHi, I'd like to run this script on Esperanto Wikipedia.

Its annoying enough when editors put puff items in for products; having a bot running around doing it is bad news. The bot has over 200, 000 edits to trawl through; is it likely to have made a habit of this? How do you propose the problem be fixed? Moonraker12 (talk) 14:14, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
