Love that new monthly archive! You do a fantastic job around DYK. Thanks once again for all your contributions! Gatoclass (talk) 00:18, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Thank you :) I'm glad someone notices; I'm not around as much as I used to be, but I try to make myself useful occasionally (and for all you talk page stalkers, that doesn't mean I'm close to retiring...far from it). Shubinator (talk) 05:24, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

DYKcheck is gone!

... from my toolbox since the new wikipedia look was installed. What do I need to do to get it relisted? Gatoclass (talk) 06:36, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) You have to add importScript('User:Shubinator/DYKcheck.js'); //DYKcheck tool to your vector.js page. LittleMountain5 14:35, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Yep, thanks LittleMountain. None of your scripts will show up in the new skin (called 'vector') unless you edit your vector.js (before it was a monobook.js, but since the default skin changed from monobook to vector, the scripts must also go in the new file). So to get all your scripts to work, you have two options: 1) copy and paste Special:MyPage/monobook.js into Special:MyPage/vector.js, or 2) create your vector.js with the line importScript('Special:MyPage/monobook.js');. Shubinator (talk) 23:16, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

I did the latter, it looks to be working fine now. Thanks for the quick response :) Gatoclass (talk) 09:24, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Excellent :) Shubinator (talk) 19:58, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for your template help! Neutrality^talk 00:53, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

No problem :) Shubinator (talk) 02:33, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Your excellency...

In hono[u]r of your superior talkpage stalking skills, and your quality contributions, I hereby present you this medal. Live long and prosper! WordyGirl90 14:16, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

Haha, thanks! My talkpage stalking skills are better than my contributions ;) See you around, Shubinator (talk) 18:58, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Bot didn't notify me?

My article on the Mount Tabor Methodist Episcopal Church (West Liberty, Ohio) is currently at DYK, but I've not been told of it by the bot. Any idea why not? I've seen that it notified other people with hooks in the same queue, and it's notified me about three other DYKs less than a week ago, so I'm not sure why this one is different. Nyttend (talk) 00:33, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

It is not a bot error, but human error: credits were absent in the Queue. Fixed. Materialscientist (talk) 00:40, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for finding this mistake. Did I forget to claim myself as the author and nominator? Nyttend (talk) 00:43, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

No. This happens. Materialscientist (talk) 00:46, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

(ecx3) The credit was accidentally erased before it hit the main page in this edit. Shubinator (talk) 00:47, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

This is one of the few features of WP which really disappoint me sometimes: getting constant edit conflicts on your own talk page :-) Materialscientist (talk) 00:53, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

If only we all did like I normally do, and reply at the other person's talk page, we wouldn't get conflicts on our own talk pages :-) Thanks much for the explanation; I didn't know that it ever happened this way. Nyttend (talk) 02:36, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

Zymne Monastery

Hello,

Please modify the name of the nunnery, because the monastery is the place for male monks, and nunnery is for females. Zynme nunnery is the religious place for nuns, not for monks. Kind regards,

Olga —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.180.237.44 (talk) 16:57, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

I assume you're talking about Zymne Monastery. It was a monastery in the past, so the name is valid. I'll create a redirect from Zymne Nunnery though. Shubinator (talk) 00:22, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Recent additions/2007/April

Hello Shubinator,

I see you reverted my edit at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2007/April ([1]). I understand the archive should be preserved. On the other hand, the hook I edited is untrue, and I feel uncomfortable to let it as it is; maybe we should add a note to inform the reader. Do you know of other precedents like this? Thanks, Korg (talk) 16:29, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

You can edit the {{dyktalk}} on the talk page of the article. Preferably the talk page would still have the original hook, but a note below saying it's not exactly true. This has happened before; see Wikipedia talk:Did you know/Archive 44#DYK Robert K. Crane Correction?. You might also be able to add a footnote to the hook in the DYK archives, but you should ask at WT:DYK first. Shubinator (talk) 16:41, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Also, are you sure it's not true? You commented out the hook saying it's unverifiable, but unfortunately that's not uncommon for DYKs that old. Shubinator (talk) 16:44, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Re: DYK for Mariusz AdamskiDYK for Mariusz Adamski correction

Thanks for updating my talkpage with this DYK credit. I am very happy with how this article turned out. ----moreno oso (talk) 05:00, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

No problem. Keep up the good work! Shubinator (talk) 05:44, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

DYK update bot

is doing great job in detecting main-page DYK-image protection. Does the bot detect current status only? It would be ideal if he could estimate whether the image will be protected all through the main page time. Materialscientist (talk) 22:18, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

I'm glad the code came in handy :) Yes, it only checks if the file is currently protected. I could have it do a check for the whole main page time, but I don't have much free time at all...I should be able to get to it by the end of the month though. Shubinator (talk) 07:01, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Such check would be handy, but it is a low-priority tweak. Materialscientist (talk) 07:10, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Done. Shubinator (talk) 05:37, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Updater broken

Re Template:Did_you_know/Queue#Current_number_of_hooks_on_the_suggestions_page. Long overdue for updating. ?? — Rlevse • Talk • 10:09, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Hmmm, I think so. IIRC it usually updates every fifteen minutes. We get this occasionally, sometimes it's a problem with the toolserver as I recall, but you might want to drop a note to Shubinator, he's our resident toolfixer. Gatoclass (talk) 10:12, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

OK — Rlevse • Talk • 10:14, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

((above copied from Gatoclass' page) — Rlevse • Talk • 10:15, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

WikiStatsBOT is run by User:ThaddeusB from his own computers I think. I left a note on his talk page. Shubinator (talk) 15:12, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

He hasn't edited since May 23. — Rlevse • Talk • 18:02, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

He often takes wikibreaks. I can't do much more since it's his bot. Shubinator (talk) 05:43, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

DYKcheck

[2] Gatoclass (talk) 11:48, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Never mind - resolved. Gatoclass (talk) 13:24, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

DYKcheck sidebar?

Hi, I help out on DYK occasionally. I'm having an issue with the scrolling sidebar recently (not just with Vector, it's newer than that). It doesn't scroll, and it's shifted down from the top of the page. Ideas? ErinM (talk) 18:56, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

That's odd. Have you tried clearing your browser's cache? What browser and operating system are you using? Shubinator (talk) 05:40, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

I've cleared the cache (I know it's cleared because I changed one of the settings, and that change appeared). I'm running Firefox 3.6.3, and it happens at home on Windows 7 and at work on Mac OS X. I've just checked Safari on OS X and same thing. It didn't happen immediately with the Vector change, it worked fine for a while. This has been happening for around a weekish. ErinM (talk) 16:04, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

I'm having the same problem on Firefox 3.6.3 and Windows XP. :/ LittleMountain5 21:37, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Bug reproduced; looking into it. Will fix this weekend at the latest. Shubinator (talk) 06:24, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Scrolling sidebar disabled for now. Still looking into it. Shubinator (talk) 07:02, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Fixed. Let me know if you still see issues. Shubinator (talk) 16:19, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Works great! Thanks, LittleMountain5 16:46, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Yep, it's working again for me. Thank you! ErinM (talk) 22:41, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Excellent :) Thanks for the bug report! Shubinator (talk) 00:01, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

WikiStatsBOT

It's busted again. Left a note with ThaddeusB but he hasn't edited in three weeks. Is there any way it can be set up so you or others can also work on it? It's been broke a whole day now. — Rlevse • Talk • 10:31, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Looks like it's running again. If he moves it to the Toolserver it'll be more stable and it'll be easier for us to access the bot if it's down. Shubinator (talk) 05:26, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
