User talk:Reedy/Archive 2008
UpdateI have some good news! Fnlayson and I were hard at work with the Boeing 747 which has been awarded featured article status. It wasn't easy. One of the editors opposing it was accused by someone else of bad faith. I was just trying to improve the article so I tried to work with everyone and not even consider whether or not the comments were in good faith. For diplomacy and experience in Wikipedia, I asked Fnlayson if he were interested in an RFA but he's not. Self noms are possible but being nominated (or asked if one was interested) is always better, which is why I asked him. Anyway, your helping hand to me 6 months ago helped spawn a FA! That's the update. Happy New Year! Archtransit (talk) 18:53, 2 January 2008 (UTC) I'll work with you on the 728 article. I'll work in a slow but steady mode. I tend to work from the bottom up but can skip around. I'll do one section at a time. Archtransit (talk) 20:32, 2 January 2008 (UTC) News, father!In a way, you're sort of my WP father with the nurturing you provided months ago. I've been nominated for administrator. Canvassing is when one spams others telling them about a RFA. However, pals don't keep secrets from pals! Wish me luck! Archtransit (talk) 17:09, 3 January 2008 (UTC) About AWB and reflistI discussed in AWB's talk page but maybe it got forgotten. <span class="small"><references/></span> should still be replaced by {{reflist}}. The problem is only for the unconditional <references/>. PLease remember to reactivate it before the new release. -- Magioladitis (talk) 18:35, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
conflicting information on photode:Bild:Fairchild dornier 728 rollout.JPG No attribution? Or there is one (green box)? Archtransit (talk) 23:07, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
sorryYou're user page looks so much like a user talk page. I also forgot to click "Boy", not "Reedy". Want to put a level 3 warning? Archtransit (talk) 00:23, 10 January 2008 (UTC) Don't bother, I'll put one warning myself! Archtransit (talk) 00:24, 10 January 2008 (UTC) adminsWill life be the same? Or will one's user page get blanked constantly by IP's and disgrunted editors? I've actually held back editing a bit to avoid an RFA "oppose – poor Fairchild Dornier 728 edits" Archtransit (talk) 00:11, 10 January 2008 (UTC) Minutes ago, I was given the mop.

Based on your areas of interest, we believe that you may be interested in participating in the peer review of Boeing 737. Comments from reviewers are needed over the next few weeks to assist editors in improving the article; we would be very grateful if you could spare some of your time to help out! If you would prefer not to receive such invitations in the future, please leave a message on this page, and we won't trouble you again. If you have any questions about the review process, you can ask them here. Thanks! Trevor MacInnis (Contribs) 18:48, 10 January 2008 (UTC) Signpost updated for January 2nd and 7th, 2008.

Ralbot (talk) 09:16, 11 January 2008 (UTC) Do we have a cabal?Should we protect our own against non-admins on the outside? Consider this. This incident could be cited in the future as evidence that WP does not have a cabal but does discipline its own administrators. A block on Jehochman has been set to 12 hours, which is less than half of the 31 hours normally given for vandalism. Archtransit (talk) 18:20, 14 January 2008 (UTC) This matter has been resolved because Jehochman has been unblocked. However, now it can be cited by critics as evidence that there is a cabal. A better course of action would have been discussion after which I would probably have shortened or lifted the block. Archtransit (talk) 18:32, 14 January 2008 (UTC) Possible images sourceI noticed your comment on the flickr airplane images thread on Archtransit's talk page. He's going through a lot right now but the main reason that I'm asking you is that he doesn't appear to be experienced with flickr like you are. Tom's interesting images would need to be marked and then uploaded. Would you be willing to do this? Let me know here on your talk page, I'll be watching. Tom understands how to change the licensing. I'd do it myself, but I don't understand much about airplanes. Check out the image of Air Force One during the Ford administration! I highly recommend Commons. The flickr experimental service on Commons is the way to go. It is easy to use, very fast, and takes care of the licensing for you. I have uploaded several hundred images with it.

Unprotection of User:MelonBot/Sandbox3Hi there. I noticed you unprotected and recreated User:MelonBot/Sandbox3, which had previously been salted. As you can see, this page was actually deleted and salted at my own request, to function as a test page to ensure that MelonBot does not produce unexpected behavior when it encounters salted pages. Could you restore the page to its salted state please? Happy‑melon 19:10, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Damn, I didn't think the manual was so screwed up. Just when I think I completed a section, I see another problem. Hence that is why I added the images, they help me make sure the manual corresponds with the program. Thanks for making the change in the Replace special, now I can edit a new section into the manual that explains what I think are the real guts of AWB. --Jeanenawhitney (talk) 23:46, 28 January 2008 (UTC) (Pete)
SorryReedy Boy (can I call you Sam instead? You can call me Pete, I use my mothers name as my account here (as my tribute to her in my mind)), I'm sorry if I made changes to the AWB manual that over wrote anything you guys added. I was not paying attention, and just assumed I was the only one editing that page (I just hit myself in the back of the head for being so f'n stupid). Anyways I do have a question that is bothering me. Do you guys write the regex code or is it MS net ver 2 that I had to install to run AWB? Really a novice here at this point, and just want to understand. I want to know cause the manual is so confusing where it points users too (and if I am confused then there are many others that do not understand also). I do look at the revisions you guys make, I can understand them, but to write it , fraid not. I will try and be more careful in my edits in the future.

Ralbot (talk) 04:12, 31 January 2008 (UTC) BAG ChangesHello. You may remember, some time ago, joining the BAG under the trial "open membership" system. Based on a lack of opposition to a reversion of this trial, I have now decided to be bold and perform it. The BAG has returned to a system under which users must go through a short period of discussion (like RfA, but less formal) before being added to the group by either a 'crat or an existing member. At the moment, I have said that discussions should last for 10 days and that community noticeboards should be spammed to encourage participation in each request – evidently this is to avoid the "cabal" impression. As you have already been a member for some time, you're likely to be an excellent candidate to apply to the group and I encourage you to do so. Alternatively, if you totally disagree with my changes and fail to see any merit in them at all, I'm hoping to take part in discussions on WT:BAG. Though I must ask now if I may – please don't revert me without a decent amount of discussion first. Thanks, and if you have any questions about what I've done, please leave me a message, send an email or chat on IRC. Martinp23 17:29, 1 February 2008 (UTC) Signpost updated for February 4th, 2008.

Any chance you could implement a feature that checked if the inputted category existed, and only insert it if it already exists, else give an option of either changing the category or creating the category with a description that the user types in? --Gary King (talk) 17:17, 7 February 2008 (UTC) Country stubs -> Project assessmentsHi. Am I right in thinking your little toy can scan for stub templates in the article and apply a |class=stub to Project templates on the Talk page? If so, I've a little job for you.... I notice that some of the Country Projects are in really bad shape on the assessment front – WikiProject Spain has 14,018 articles that are completely Unassessed, WikiProject France has 10,857 Unassessed (but 11610 Stub Class articles with no importance, so mebbe you or your colleagues have been there before?). I was feeling pretty intimidated by WikiProject Italy today, and that has 'only' 2786 Unassesseds – I once assessed >1000 articles for WikiProject Food and drink in a single "push" over a couple of weeks and that was bad enough. On the other hand, it achieved its aim – getting it down to zero means that others have been able to keep on top of any new Unassesseds. That also happened with the Wine Project, so it is worthwhile clearing the assessment backlog; I reckon that anything bots can do to help with the 'intimidating' backlogs has to be A Good Thing – being roughly right is far better than worrying about assessing things "perfectly". if (substr_count($articletext,"\n==") >=3 && (strlen($articletext)>5000 || strpos($articletext,".jpg") !==false) ) {$class="Start";} else {$class="Stub";}
I'm sure you've thought about this stuff much more deeply than I have, but the above would at least ensure that you classed as Starts things that had three headings and either a reasonable amount of text or a gathered material. Obviously it would make sense to adjust the Project banners to recognise auto=yes, and it would be helpful for human assessors if you add blank tags such as |importance= – anything to speed things up. ;-/ But some kind of auto classification of quality would be the biggest bonus, as missing quality forces you to download the article as well as the Talk (and often to get distracted thereby...), whereas a lot of the time you could assess the Importance just by the name of the Talk page. Even just translating stub templates to stub assessments would make a big difference. TIA FlagSteward (talk) 01:34, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Moving ClueBot V to trial section.I do not think it should be in the trial section because its trial was interrupted and it evidentially needs more discussion before there can be a trial.

I have seen that you use huggle by the fact that you have automatically updated the huggle white list(it does this when closing huggle). I was wondering if you would add the category [[Category:Wikipedians who use Huggle]] to your user page so that it fills out and we know who actually uses huggle. If you do not want to you do not have to. I am also sorry if i have already talked to you about this or you no longer use huggle but i sent it to everyone that has edited the page since mid January. I hope we can start to fill out this category. If you would like to reply to this message then please reply on my talk page as i will probably not check here again.

Hi again, well, the bug I see, it may as well be in my own wiki, but when it loads the settings of my own wiki, searches for the months of the year for filling up namespaces, finding no matches, there is an access violation that is caught and resorts to default behavior (english wikipedia), so I never get to log in. -Thanks jrocon AWB RequestReedy, Someone classified this AWB request to create articles from CSV databases under Possible Plugins.

Some categories are just so large that they time out. And some of the category hierarchies seem to leak out into the rest of Wikipedia, making them larger than they really are. For example, "Aftermath of World War II" leaks. One of its subcategories is the Cold War, which is distinct from World War II. Etc. The solutions I've found are to use recursion on subbranches of a category, and work around subcategories that appear to be leaks. Cheers. The Transhumanist 18:49, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

That is, search strings with carriage returns in them? For example, if I want to search for a pair of list items that always follow each other like this:
How do I do that? I'd like to replace the items with
I don't want to find them when they are alone like this:
And I want to do it automatically, rather than have to search for all the...

Mangostar (talk) 14:59, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
Your bot is tagging articles in the category [[Category:Indigenous peoples of Brazil]] for membership in the wp:biography project. This erroneous since that category holds indigenous ethnic groups, not individual persons – hence the plural of "peoples". Please rectify. ·Maunus· ·ƛ· 17:36, 23 May 2008 (UTC) AWB ModuleThanks for all the improvements [after all, you're the expert!], but I have rewritten the module to be more useful for general use. I have incorporated your improvements and modified the code so that it adds the |class= param to pre-existing templates [more widely useful, simple pybots can do mass-taggings]. The idea is that with this one, the ifs go in sequence so a higher class replaces a lower one in the tag. E.g. if a page is tagged as Start and B, and I was parsing the {{foo}} template, then the output would be {{foo|class=B|<otherstuff>}}.

Thanks!Thanks for fixing the AWB code. I'm new to C# programming so the info will be most useful. Also, I suppose I coded it ad-hoc for one job, not intending it to be used widely [although I don't mind!]. I can post it on the main AWB modules page if you want. I know KingboyK's plugin does a similar thing, but this would work for any template, not just standard ones. What do you think? Thanks again for the improvements.

Ive got it setup to tag a list of pages relatin to swimming with the wikiProject Swimming banner. I clicked the Auto-stub box and was hoping that this was going to assess all articles already with a stub template as 'stub class'. The problem is that it assesses all articles as stub class if i have the auto-stub box ticked, even if its not stub class. And yes the template has an auto parametre so it should work. (its for a bot so thats why i ticked the auto-stub box, and it didnt work, ive tried both the stub boxes, both with the bot, and without and just cant get it too work.) Am i doing somthing wrong, If you cant help me, thanks anyway, but since Kingboyk hasnt replied to me yet, i thought ill try you. Thanks. Printer222 (talk) 12:06, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

The bot seems to be on point with tagging the articles w/ Brazil; however, the bot has also been tagging fictional characters, albums, and population groups.

Infobox Software TemplateWe're wondering why you removed the "software" from Template:Infobox Software in your most recent edit. This causes a problem: when an editor clicks on the +/- to update the version, they instead mistakenly edit the redirect page instead of the page with the version information. I (and I'm sure others) then have to revert the change so we don't have two pages with inconsistent version information. Please leave an explanation on the talk page so we can fix this problem once and for all. Thanks. -- Schapel (talk) 14:35, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Autoassessment codeHi there,I use User:Richard0612's AWB module code for autoassessment and happened to see your code here. I checked it out, there is a bug when there is not class parameter already like this : I am doing it for WikiProject Computing : {{WikiProject Computing|importance=|something}} {{WikiProject Computing|importance=|something}} I doesnt update WikiProject Computing but WikiProject United States and that too wrongly. ( btw I reordered Start before GA; had it been directly as per ur code, it been otherwise "StartStart" instead of "GAStart" in the example). -- Tinu Cherian – 07:40, 3 November 2008 (UTC) RfA thanks
hiI'm curious why you removed the bizet article from dyk? Victuallers (talk) 13:29, 15 November 2008 (UTC) SwappingNot sure about this swapping, I think that chronologically the earlier DYK should appear previous. Also, in this edit, you forgot to swap the credits as well. Cirt (talk) 13:54, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
thx for the reply. Don't be deterred. The Aussie thing I think is a (possible) miscalculation. That set won't ap[pear tonight but I guess tomorrow some time. Its tricky to predict as there are other sets waiting in the queue in front of this one. Victuallers (talk) 16:44, 15 November 2008 (UTC) NSLU2- discontinued?

Ralbot (talk) 10:35, 23 November 2008 (UTC) Explanation, pleaseI will assume for the moment that you don't throw around block threats in a casual way. So, I would appreciate a reasonable and prompt explanation about how my posts on the AWB discussion page were "trolling" or "nuisance". I happen to care about the AWB rules of use, and I believe that Lightmouse is the poster child for abusing those rules. This has nothing to do with date delinking, other than the fact that I became aware of Lightmouse's edits because he and I are both interested in that issue. I also would appreciate your opinion about the purpose of the AWB rules of use, given your obvious belief that an editor with AWB rights, at least in some circumstances, can ignore those rules without consequence. Are the rules mere exhortations or recommendations? If not, in what situations are they enforceable? Tennis expert (talk) 23:13, 10 December 2008 (UTC) Lightmouse appears to not be using Lightbot for date delinking activities because of the outcome of these two ANIs involving that bot: (1), (2). Tennis expert (talk) 23:32, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
You said on the AWB discussion page, "If you've still got a problem, bring it up somewhere else, where greater opinion can be gauged." As I still have a problem with Lightmouse's AWB rules noncompliance, where do you recommend that this discussion be continued? At the administrators' noticeboard? Tennis expert (talk) 23:40, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
AWBI placed a comment here still trying to AWB working. I am hoping to figure out what the problem is. I have a lot of time-consuming mundane edits I need to take care of that was put on hold waiting for AWB to help sort it all out. 68.226.0.35 (talk) 17:41, 12 December 2008 (UTC) Its come already! ·Add§hore· Talk/Cont is wishing you a Merry Christmas!

Could probably have a go if no one at meta responds; we'll see. mattbr 09:41, 30 December 2008 (UTC) |
