User talk:Yurik/Archive December 14, 2005YurikBot and {{copyvio}}YurikBot recently added cy:Ynys Seiriol (correctly) to Puffin Island. The only problem is that Puffin Island was marked (by me) as a {{copyvio}}, which includes the statement "Please do not edit this page for the moment". Shouldn't YurikBot take account of that? --Stemonitis 07:53, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
AfrikaansHi Yurik, Apparently the remark about bots on af. came from you. Your name got lost in the shuffle and I was a little worried about yet another outsider making a mess of the year pages there (That is what happened to us a couple of times and that's why it is the mess it is..) Alias added your name back on and please allow me to respond and apologize if my reaction sounded a little frustrated. YES! It would be wonderful if someone could help us clean up the mess by bot. If you like I can give you a few things that need to change:
The suffix is usually ..de 6de, 10de etc. Exceptions:
Latin Name of CologneYurik, noticed that your bot changes the Latin name of Cologne... good thing... but the name you specify is wrong! The original Latin name of Cologne is: Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensis. Thanks for considering and changing this. --User:Teutsch
JoineryI note that you have put a number of foreign language equivalents of this page name on the Joinery page. I don't know how much it matters but the French one for example is Ébéniste. I would have used this word to mean cabinetmaker. In England at least, joinery is things like stairs, window frames and so on. A joiner might make a simple piece of furniture as a panel beater might raise a bowl but it is not really his trade. The French for joinery is (la) menuiserie.

Greek formatsHi, I've checked the formats, made some additions, everything seems to be OK. --geraki 23:06, 24 September 2005 (UTC) Sicilian formatsHi Yurik. The sicilian formats you have look fine, but I changed the BC years to, for example, seculu II a.C. and 50 a.C.. There was originally a space between the a. and C. but we have since fixed that in scn.wiki. The other thing is that we generally use the small letter for the months, e.g. 3 di marzu, etc. the other change I made to reflect where we are heading in scn.wiki is to use the accent on the last four months of the year: sittèmmiru, uttùviru, nuvèmmiru, dicèmmiru. Thanks. --pippudoz - (waarom? jus'b'coz!) 00:01, 25 September 2005 (UTC) Thank for the botThank for this bot. I also changed the number format for Thai wiki. But so far there are only from 0 to 9 so far.--manop 00:10, 25 September 2005 (UTC) Link removalWhy is it a good idea to remove interwiki links to articles that have not yet been writtten?

International templatesDear Yurik, it seems, adding and managing of interwiki's can be considerably simplified by using international templates. Could you please look at my proposal at Wikipedia:Feature request? What do you think about it? Regards. --AndriyK 08:22, 25 September 2005 (UTC) FormatsI´m FAR from es:wikipedia. I have a problem with numbers: we use don´t use de numbre. The list it is:
... In English you must say One, two, three, into the title year format in ko:Your table is correct. But it should be noted that years page in BC could be redirected to century pages in ko:. And in many wikipedias years pages are redirected to decade/century/millenium pages. If you are plan to upgrade year/date bots, please consider it.

Gene Nygaard 14:10, 25 September 2005 (UTC) Your robot is doing a bad jobHi, I'm sorry to tell you that you robot is doing rather strange things. It removed the lt: and pl: interwikis from Czech language ([1]), although both versions exist, and removed the it: interwiki from Slavic languages ([2]), although the Italian version exists, too. It has most probably done other wrong things as well which didn't appear on my watchlist. – Please stop your robot's destructive work and revert its erroneous changes.

STATUS: BOT IS ACTIVE AGAIN WITH NEW SETTINGSPlease let me know of any problems you found. I am running a stock bot (latest version from pywikipediabot). At the moment it appears that a large number of page requests gave "there is no such page" answers, so the problem might be related to the wiki outage last night, or the bot incorrectly interpreting some new and unusual responses. Please be patient, and very sorry for the trouble. Thanks! --Yurik 20:14, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

bot status on zh-min-nanHello, Yurik, My apology for the late reply and thanks for the interwiki work. Re "bot status on zh-min-nan": I'd gladly apply for bot status for Yurikbot, unless there's a rule somewhere that says bot operator should apply directly. I've also put in some date formatting rules but there's some uncertainty with certain categories that do not yet exist. Would you prefer "guesstimate" or simply blank?

Could you do the necessary to "hide" it? Thank you, lb:user:Zinneke Yurik Bot erraneously created new articleOn the Esperanto wikipedia, Yuri Bot erraneously creted the new article Aldous HUXxley. This is due to an automatic substitution used in the Esperanto Wikipedia: ux becomes ŭ. In order to view ux, one needs to type in uxx. It would be good if you could change YuriBot in such a way that in future it doesn't erraneously create articles like this. YuirkBot on it.wikipediaPleasa ask for authorization here. Thanks. --Snowdog 10:25, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

YurikBot on zh country pagesHi, Yurik, I think your YurikBot may have removed some links to some country pages in zh this afternoon. Each link was to the respective country's www.xzqh.org page. XZQH has excellent lists of political divisions and subdivisions with statistics. I also added three links to the University of Indonesia, on 印尼,爪哇 and 达卡塔;that is, Indonesia, Java and Djakarta. I left a message on zh: User:Shizao's page, too; I couldn't read his Chinese exactly; his edit comments mentioned the YurikBot. Some of the links are still there; some are not. zh User 中欧/ --McDogm 20:45, 28 October 2005 (UTC) Query by ExampleHi there, in the English Wikipedia, someone made QBE a redirect to Microsoft Query by Example, which is wrong, since QBE is an historical database query language in its own right. Anyway, this redirecting lead to the changing of the en:QBE link in the German Wikipedia for Query by Example to the microsoftish article, which may lead to the wrong impression that MS invented QBE. I repaired en:-link in the german article, deleted the redirect from the english wikipedia and started a new QBE article. You might want to check other languages the bot changed. Regards, Fragment update the botPlease update interwiki.py to the newest CVS version; right now your bot keeps adding wrong interwiki links to disambiguation pages - this has been fixed in the newest version. This is quite important. Thanks, tsca ✉ 23:11, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
Needle != Knitting needleI just rved a bunch of links added by your bot to Knitting needle---it was linking to all the "Needle" pages in other languages, most of which had just a bullet point mention of a knitting needle, if indeed they mention it at all. If your bot is running according to the specs you claim above, it seems like it shouldn't be doing that---you should probably investigate. /blahedo (t) 05:01, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
Your botDear Yurik, the interwiking efforts of your is much appreciated at wiki.pt, but there are some irregularities which you have to correct, namely the interwiking of articles marked with templates {lixo}, {impróprio} and {vda} (garbages and copyvios). By placing interwikis in these articles (example), you are allowing them to count for the bulk article number of wiki.pt and we dont wnat that. Please take the necessary arrangements so your bot bypasses these articles. Cheers, muriel@pt 09:17, 15 November 2005 (UTC) Your Bot changed de interwiki from Luftwaffe to Luftwaffe (Wehrmacht) but that's wrong. Luffwaffe here in en wiki covers WW1 to current Luftwaffe but german articles were splitted by timeline. Luftwaffe in de wiki works as disambiguation page, please keep linking to this page. --Denniss 01:08, 16 November 2005 (UTC) YurikBot on lb-wikiOur sysop blocked your bot on the lb-wiki for having infringed rule 1.1.1.5 of our bot policy. If it possible for you to fix this problem, we might unblock your bot immediately. --Otets 11:10, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
Please find here lb-wiki's bot policy. Your bot may be marked as such only after having gone through some tests, in order to make sure that it works properly. Lb-wiki indeed requires special interwiki handling, but I still need to codify the present usage (hope to get this done by this evening or tomorrow - please revisit the bot policy page once it's done). We certainly acknowledge the need for an interwiki bot updating the links from time to time - we only feel concerned about server speed and the respect of what is the current usage at lb-wiki in handling interwiki matters. But I am sure that a proper update of your bot will make it comply with all requirements. --Otets 20:40, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
The special link handling requirements at the lb-wiki have finally been codified (cf. our bot policy). --Otets 01:14, 28 November 2005 (UTC) BabelI copied your Babel-template to your german Bot-userpage on the german Wikipedia and added, that you don't speek german.

Now, there is only one comment tag before the interwiki section: <!-- interwiki (no,sv,da first; then other languages alphabetically by name) --> There is no separate skanwiki comment tag, and the languages no(nb), sv and da are not required to be doubled anymore. So if you want to start letting your bot run on NNWP again, it will be much easier than it was before. :-) All the best, Olve 18:20, 28 November 2005 (UTC) Bot helpHi!

Small problem with YurikbotHello, just a small problem with Yurikbot: in the french wikipedia, there was already a manually placed interwiki to :en on the article fr:Aéroport international Jean-Lesage de Québec. Yurikbot added the same link a second time on the page. The problem, I think, was that the manually added interwiki was En:... (with a capital E) and that the one added by Yurikbot was en:... (with a small case e). The first link was already working. Maybe Yurikbot should check for links with capital letters and just change them to links with lower case letters, instead of adding a link. Cordially, fr:Utilisateur:Boréal - 2005-12-05 - 10:30.
Problem with yurikbotHi. The article Anatomical terms of location incorrectly links to a spanish article that talks about one specific bone (es:Occipital). A user had already erased the interwiki and your bot replaced it. Can we ask your bot to erase the link in all other wikipedias? Thanks. Ronaldo16 (✉) 23:14, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
