License tagging for File:Michelleobama23.PNGThanks for uploading File:Michelleobama23.PNG. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

As per your request, I'm contacting you on behalf of the "automatic protection" for images used in the "Did you know" section (and possibly other sections) on the enWP mainpage. Now, for clarification: How often is the "did you know" section updated, and how 'precise' is the timing? Reason I'm asking: The bot does not have admin rights on commons, and protects the images of the german Wikipedia by putting them into a template file that gets included by a cascade-protected 'main page' at a predefined time (midnight german time). I am currently tring to get the german 'Did you know' section to use multiple templates and update slightly ahead of time, so the images are "there" before the but runs - once the time has passed, the bot can no longer edit the 'current' page and thus cannot protect the images. (I might've asked for an "admin-bot" doing real protection for a day, but I don't believe in bots having that much power, especially where the bot owner does not). Therefore: Is there a 'fixed schedule' for those updates on the enWP? If not, the bot as it currently is cannot help you.... If there is though, I would just need to know what schedule to watch for. (Just reply here, I'm watching you page now - let's try keeping the discussion at one place, shall we?) --Guandalug (talk) 22:58, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Sorry for the delayed response :-). Simplevote actually already has an (undocumented) option to get rid of these icons. Just add this underneath wherever you imported the script: SimplevoteConfig = {

Have a look here. I'll get back to you once you've addressed various aspects. I think that much more work is still needed here, read the review for the issues that need to addressed. I know you asked me to take a look at Avatar: The Last Airbender but I feel that the main article will be more manageable once issues on the sub-articles are fixed, plus I'll have a greater idea of what is going on with the Avatar series and games etc. Besides, reviewers might not be keen to see another Avatar article after the forthright failure of the Sozin article at FAC so recently. Coming back with a bigger and better article undermines any possible criticism of writers of the Avatar articles. PS I agree with keeping the plot concise, as you have. "Plot" should be an overview/summary of key events, not the minutiae of the whole series. Speak to you soon anyway at the PR. Cheers.

Your FA comment on Kitzmiller article got me thinking...I've been here for about a year now, and up to now I've mainly worked defense (vandal fighting etc.) instead of offense (content building). I've been wanting to expand my horizons and do more to improve Wikipedia, but I honestly don't know where to start. Most say, "just create a new article" but to me that's jumping in the deep end of the pool. I've been wondering if assisting in an FA would be a start, I don't know... I've seen mentorship for those who don't grok the concept of WP, and schools for prospective admins, but I've yet to hear of any program for those gnomes who wish to grow.

Demographics workAs a Juliancolton-talk page stalker, I have seen you around a lot, asking Julian to do some Demographics work. I looked around, and some of the bot work you are doing seems somewhat interesting. Is there any way that I could help? NuclearWarfare (Talk) 05:28, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
ReplyWell, can you remember the password to your bot account?!!!
A macro program lets you record keystroke sequences (what you type in on your keyboard) and play them back by assigning them to a "hot key" that you press to activate the macro. Using macros, you can automate just about any repetitive task on your computer. The best macros are programmable, allowing you to use variables, input breaks (like "Y/N?"), and lots of other powerful features. The macro program I'm experienced with allows me to execute repetitive tasks across Windows (multi-window operations in which the macro switches windows to do something in each, like grab some data from one, and insert it in another). Used in combination with Linky, macro programs are exceedingly powerful - you can use them to process all the pages you've loaded into tabs, save each page, and close out each tab before moving on to the next one. Note that repetitive macros are by definition bots, and so they fall under Wikipedia's bot guidelines. But you can easily make macros that are interactive. However, note that at the bot department it was stated that we don't need bot approval to use bots on the country outlines. See Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Worldbot for details. My guess is that macro proficiency would increase your productivity by at least a factor of 3 on this and similar projects. See if you can understand AutoHotKey - I never bothered with it because Macro Express does just about everything I can think of for it to do. By the way, welcome to the team. The Transhumanist 23:08, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
Your first assignment: add headings and lead sections to "Demographics of" country articlesThis task has two parts for each page you edit:
The first thing you need to do is familiarize yourself with the CIA demographics statistics set so you can recognize the complete set when you see it. Here's the list of the country demographics articles: User:The Transhumanist/Country demographics articles. Using Linky, from that page you can load 99 of them at a time into tabs to make them easy to inspect. (Highlight an area of the screen and then right-click - select Linky from the pop-up menu and follow the instructions / select from the options provided). When you are done looking at one article, press Ctrl-W, and that tab will be closed and the contents of the next tab will be displayed almost instantly on you screen. We've already formatted many of them (like about half of them). You'll notice when you get to the ones with crappy formatting. Most of those need the new standard heading. After you've gotten good at spotting the stat set, I need you to add the standard section heading and section lead to each article that presents the stat set. You also need to make sure that the stats are included under the same heading. Some editors have divided it up into separate sections, without a heading for the stat set as a whole! You need to consolidate the various sections as subheadings under the standard heading. Set the heading level of the stat set to whatever works for each specific article. On most pages, the stat sets fits well at the end as under a level 2 heading. On other pages it needs to be a subheading of an existing over-arching demographics statistics section (the CIA isn't the only source for this kind of information after all). If the stat set has been heavily modified with material from additional sources, you should skip those, unless the alternate sources have been provided as citations. Don't worry about reformatting all the statistics. Once the heading is in place, we'll be able to automate much of the format fixing using AWB-bots, targetting just those pages that include the heading. What to doMissing lead sectionWhen you come across a "Demographics of" article that has no lead section, place this at the top of the page (after any hat notes - you know, wherever the lead paragraph should be): {{subst:User:The Transhumanist/Sandbox23|country name}}
Missing standard headingWhen you come across the CIA demographics statistics set that doesn't yet have the standard heading, replace its current heading with this: {{subst:User:The Transhumanist/Sandbox26}} The standard heading and section lead is in that sandbox. Make sure all the CIA stats fall under that section, adjusting the levels of any other headings used for it, accordingly. If you have any questions, please ask. Good luckGood luck. Have fun. The Transhumanist 23:08, 21 February 2009 (UTC) A lot statistics in that article are not from the CIA. They are from UK sources. It seems strange to state that they are from the CIA unless stated otherwise and then you find that most of are stated otherwise. Jolly Ω Janner 23:49, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

The project may be catching on. Take a look at this!Someone not on the team has come along and moved one of the country outline drafts to article space. This is a great sign, as it means the set of pages is attracting attention. It's Topic outline of Romania. Please help complete it ASAP. Here's why: It's got some awkward stuff in there, including blank links, redlinks (that need to be bluelinked by creating redirects), and apparently irrelevant entries (kept for comparison purposes, that need to be filled in with "none"), etc. Many editors tend to remove awkward stuff instead of complete it. We should finish up Topic outline of Romania before they remove anything. Thank you. Good luck. Have fun.

Next taskOn the pages listed at User:The Transhumanist/Country outlines: In the reference section, there's this entry:
(I've used "Australia" as an example only. The country name matches the outline.) I need you to complete or replace the link on each outline. For example in the example above, it would be Commonwealth of Australia. But "Replace"? Yes, some official country names use a different form than "____ of". Like "French Republic". Some countries might have more than one official name. If so, include a link for each. If all countries only have one official name, then let me know. You can usually find the official name in the lead of the outline or in the lead of the article on the country. If it's not there, check to see if there is a Name of x article for the country's name. That might state what the current official name is. Failing that, see what the country uses on its own official website (that might be the best place to look in the first place).

Delievered by SoxBot II (talk) at 08:29, 2 March 2009 (UTC) Comment on FAC for United States Academic DecathlonIf you're going to go through with a FAC for this article, there are a couple things that need to be done. The middle paragraph of the 1968&mbsp;2000 section needs fixing. The dates I have there are wrong. Also, it's confusing how it's worded... it's often hard to follow exactly what season is being talked about. Going along with that, the Topics, past and present table needs to be changed / fixed. It really should be its own article entirely. I started working on this a while ago but became too exhausted and burnt out with Wikipedia to finish it (can be found here - was hoping to make this a FL at some point). That sandbox accurately depicts the divide between when themes were instituted, so you can use that to go off of. Other than that, I think it's relatively solid (I wrote it with the intent of taking it to FAC, but never got around to the finishing touches). The Controversies section is probably the weakest though. It could probably be changed to Controversies and criticisms; the article would then have to include the various criticisms USAD has received over the years - most notably those from California coaches, and Coach Hatem from North Hollywood High School in particular. Anyway, if you are in fact serious about taking this to fact, let me know. I'll work on it with you. - Yohhans talk 10:24, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Therefore, I've moved them to article space. All of them. It's time to finish them up! The only accuracy problem they have are the government branches sections. Those need to be completed right away. I've been working on them and will continue to do so... But, this task needs nuke power!

Country outlines project update - 2009/03/08Things have been slowing down again, so it's time for a big push... We've gone liveThis project needed a shot in the arm. Also, its draft pages have been littering Wikipedia's categories for months. The time seemed right to move all the country outline drafts to article space. WHAT??? Well, the drafts had been sitting in Wikipedia space for a year. WHAT??? Development has been moving at a snail's pace and we could use the help of the Wikipedia community at large (who are more likely to find these if they are in article space). WHAT??? Yes, we've gone live. :) This puts pressure on us to get the blatantly incomplete elements of these outlines done. The only glaring problem is the government branches sections. These need to be corrected ASAP. I've mentioned THE GOVERNMENT BRANCHES SECTIONS many times to many people over the past year, but the problem just doesn't seem to have been taken seriously. So let me put it another way: HELP!!! I need your help on this now. Almost all the countries have a government with an executive branch, a legislative branch, and a judicial branch. The links for these branches need to be completed for each country outline:
If you spot any standardization in links, and ways we can automate parts of this process, or for groups of countries that have links in common, please let me know! Administrative support for outlinesThere has been growing pressure on me to write up the administrative pages for outlines - their instructions, guidelines, etc. Therefore, I'm now in the process of composing these. Fortunately, it is mostly a matter of gathering material from messages I've written to you guys over the past year. Still, this is taking up most of my time, and I will be buried in these for the foreseeable future. Traffic controlThe next big task after the government branches sections are cleaned up is link support for the outlines. There's quite a list of links and notices that need to be put in place around Wikipedia, providing access to them to readers, and alerting editors to the need to develop and maintain these pages. This will keep our bot people very busy (and happy). But the most important thing right now is to get the government branches sections completed. So please, put your bots aside, roll up your shirt sleeves, and start typing. Thank you. |
