Addbot seems to be taking the opportunity while dealing with Wikidata links to remove the blank line after subheadings. Not sure it should be doing this, I see it at as a matter of editor choice.

You want to tell me that all these links were invalid? Debresser ( talk) 19:46, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

To the first question: Those are links which are not exact duplicates of links on Wikidata. That may be because the Wikidata pages don't have a link for that language for that topic, or it may be because Wikidata does have a link but it doesn't match the 'leftover' link.
The second question: The leftover links were being logged by the bot to a single public wiki page, but with the number of edits it is making, one page just doesn't work (and people can't keep up). I don't think there are many people who would like to have hundreds or thousands of pages created just to document the move. One of the ideas that was proposed above was to use a database report to check after the fact for all the leftover links, which I think is a pretty solid idea. -- Izno ( talk) 04:28, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

Kindly stop removing "(German: Strassburg)" from Louis XVI. The city's name is derived from German (Strasse = road/street, Burg = fort/castle), and the French spelling is a later adaptation of the German name.
It may interest you to know that according to the British historian Geoffrey Barraclough, "the unprovoked French occupation of Strassburg in 1681 aroused — for almost the last time in the history of the old empire — a wave of resentment and [German] national feeling." (Barraclough, Geoffrey: The Origins of Modern Germany, Capricorn Books edition, 1963, p. 386.) Please note that Barraclough refers to the city, c. 1681, by its German name.

Thanks for the note linked above. Looking at the log, that's referring to here, which was the removal of an interwiki link that wasn't in WikiData because the article it referred to had been deleted [1], so my removal was valid. Might want to include a test for that? Probably not a very common case. Additionally, it might be helpful to include in the user talk notes a note about which article was involved, or at least a link to addbot's log.

After Addbot removed the interwikilinks from Friedmann equations, I checked the page to which the links were moved d:q467736. It has been named "Critical density" which is different from the names used in most of the wikis. Also Critical density (in the English Wikipedia) is a disambiguation page. Thus this choice of a name for d:q467736 seems inappropriate to me. JRSpriggs ( talk) 08:54, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

Little update to say that I have now split the log into multiple pages, the bot will only update the first one meaning less edit conflicts on the others. When the first one is filled (175,000 chars) it can be copied and pasted into a subpage for easier editing. I have reduced the cleaning of Done sections to every 15 mins also. ·Add§hore· Talk To Me! 16:39, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

Looks like I'm late to the "party" since it is a relatively old edit by now, but in this edit the bot removed extra newlines from the middle of the article. In doing so it messed up the alignments in the table the text and newlines were a part of. In my opinion, where or how spaces and newlines are added in edit-mode should really be up to the editors and not be dictated by a bot trying to follow some style guide written somewhere. Looking through the edit history it looks like WP:AWB is seriously messing up stuff too. Anyway, not sure if this bot behaviour of yours is fixed already. If it is, then please excuse my meddling, but if it isn't I hope it can be changed. Hekseuret ( talk) 16:41, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

See [5]. French Interwiki link is left behind? http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q753623 I like to saw logs! ( talk) 08:10, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
I know I am in for it, but how did the page at Wikidata get generated? Okay, if Addbot got the info from the Wikidata Q753623 page, its only edit was its creation by User:MerlIwBot on December 11, 2012. So it appears that your bot is using data from December 11, 2012, in this case. But anyway, the English page listed the French link back on December 11. Something is strange. I like to saw logs!

Addbot only removes links which are duplicated at Wikidata. Links which are not duplicated, whether they are not present at Wikidata or whether they are present but are not the same links, are not. I believe Addbot has a task request open for the former case. The latter must be dealt with by human editors, though.
In your specific case, the remnant of those sites indicates (experientially) that the links are not present on Wikidata. Someone or thing should move them! -- Izno ( talk) 23:17, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
Hi. I had to delete a bunch of rules from snitch this evening because you seemingly overloaded the bot. My suspicion is that there's some restriction on irc.wikimedia.org where the bot can't join a certain number of channels. Or perhaps it was simply joining the channels too quickly. In either case, while the bot's use isn't really restricted, the way in which you were using the bot was a bit excessive, particularly as you hadn't given its owner (me) any heads-up. I kept a copy of the rules if you'd like them, but I think you'll need to either investigate and fix snitch ( code's on GitHub) and/or set up your own instance. I personally use snitch regularly, so I can't have it getting flooded off irc.wikimedia.org and not being able to join #en.wikipedia. -- MZMcBride ( talk) 03:27, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi guys! A bit weird I know requestion you to come here to discuss this but it seems the easiest way to do this! I found your names on the log edit history! Addbot is now generating a crosswiki database of where it is leaving links! I want your help to think of what we want the webpage to look like displaying the information! The database holds the following columns of information 'article'(article name), 'lang'(language of project eg. 'en'), 'links'(number of links left after last check), 'lastcheck'(timestamp of last check).
Any input would be great and if you feel like you have 5 mins spare you could even work on a web page html design ;p.

I Ask for semi-protection for this article, Largest cities in Europe.
A unregistered user continous to vandalism this article claiming "Turkish propaganda" and without links to a source. he also claims That Istanbul (Turkey) And Armenia - Georgia - Azerbaijan in the Caucasus region are not a part of Europe. These countries are all recognized states As European by the European Union and they are all members of the Council of Europe, "The Council of Europe is an international organization promoting co-operation between all countries of Europe in the areas of legal standards, human rights, democratic development, the rule of law and cultural co-operation".
Furthermore Turkey are a candidate country to join the EU, see Accession of Turkey to the European Union. So there are no reason not to in include these countries to Europe, these countries are also on all other articles recarding Europe on wikipedia.
I hope you as a Aministrator can se the need for the protection against this continous vandalism. Lactasamir ( talk) 12:17, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
Thank you for the answer:) The article Largest cities in Europe are still under vandalism, the unregistered user 46.254.75.1 are claiming "Turkish propaganda" and he is posting incorrect info without links to a source.

Have a look at what your "multiple issues" bot did here: [4] - it deleted a whole chunk of article text about halfway down (search for "shackles and"). Please keep a closer eye on it. 31.124.124.243 ( talk) 10:11, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
After Addbot removed the interwikilinks from Friedmann equations, I checked the page to which the links were moved d:q467736. It has been named "Critical density" which is different from the names used in most of the wikis. Also Critical density (in the English Wikipedia) is a disambiguation page. Thus this choice of a name for d:q467736 seems inappropriate to me. JRSpriggs ( talk) 08:54, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

Little update to say that I have now split the log into multiple pages, the bot will only update the first one meaning less edit conflicts on the others. When the first one is filled (175,000 chars) it can be copied and pasted into a subpage for easier editing. I have reduced the cleaning of Done sections to every 15 mins also. ·Add§hore· Talk To Me! 16:39, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
Sorry to keep bothering you! The bot seems to be having trouble removing links with forward slashes in them such as here. All of those links are already on Wikidata but for some reason were skipped. Cheers! Del♉sion23 (talk) 14:08, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

In the article List of Fringe episodes, Addbot removed several links, but not all. I'm a little confused as to why some links were left. Were they broken or incorrect, or was it a mistake?

Just to let you know that all of the times you listed me on User:Addbot/log/wikidata are from when I was solving an interwiki conflict. The Micronesia example was me removing 2 links that were pointing to the country rather than the region. In the Northern Premier League one I was removing ones that pointed to the league structure rather than the individual league. I did not incorrectly remove any of these interwiki links.

that this current run will end pretty soon because it is making my watchlist pretty much unusable. Getting 20 or 30 hits in a row makes it tough for me to focus on my work.

Looks like I'm late to the "party" since it is a relatively old edit by now, but in this edit the bot removed extra newlines from the middle of the article. In doing so it messed up the alignments in the table the text and newlines were a part of. In my opinion, where or how spaces and newlines are added in edit-mode should really be up to the editors and not be dictated by a bot trying to follow some style guide written somewhere. Looking through the edit history it looks like WP:AWB is seriously messing up stuff too. Anyway, not sure if this bot behaviour of yours is fixed already. If it is, then please excuse my meddling, but if it isn't I hope it can be changed. Hekseuret ( talk) 16:41, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

See [5]. French Interwiki link is left behind? http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q753623 I like to saw logs! ( talk) 08:10, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
I know I am in for it, but how did the page at Wikidata get generated? Okay, if Addbot got the info from the Wikidata Q753623 page, its only edit was its creation by User:MerlIwBot on December 11, 2012. So it appears that your bot is using data from December 11, 2012, in this case. But anyway, the English page listed the French link back on December 11. Something is strange. I like to saw logs!

Let me be clear: I don't mind this personally at all, but it might cause confusion for others. Addbot reports me as having removed a "fa" link at "Depot" here: [6], but in actuality, a bot did that removal before I got there: [7]. Again, completely benign (Better a false positive than a missing report), but FYI in any case. I've seen this particular pattern (same bot, even) twice.

Addbot only removes links which are duplicated at Wikidata. Links which are not duplicated, whether they are not present at Wikidata or whether they are present but are not the same links, are not. I believe Addbot has a task request open for the former case. The latter must be dealt with by human editors, though.
In your specific case, the remnant of those sites indicates (experientially) that the links are not present on Wikidata. Someone or thing should move them! -- Izno ( talk) 23:17, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
Hi. I had to delete a bunch of rules from snitch this evening because you seemingly overloaded the bot. My suspicion is that there's some restriction on irc.wikimedia.org where the bot can't join a certain number of channels. Or perhaps it was simply joining the channels too quickly. In either case, while the bot's use isn't really restricted, the way in which you were using the bot was a bit excessive, particularly as you hadn't given its owner (me) any heads-up. I kept a copy of the rules if you'd like them, but I think you'll need to either investigate and fix snitch ( code's on GitHub) and/or set up your own instance. I personally use snitch regularly, so I can't have it getting flooded off irc.wikimedia.org and not being able to join #en.wikipedia. -- MZMcBride ( talk) 03:27, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi guys! A bit weird I know requestion you to come here to discuss this but it seems the easiest way to do this! I found your names on the log edit history! Addbot is now generating a crosswiki database of where it is leaving links! I want your help to think of what we want the webpage to look like displaying the information! The database holds the following columns of information 'article'(article name), 'lang'(language of project eg. 'en'), 'links'(number of links left after last check), 'lastcheck'(timestamp of last check).
Any input would be great and if you feel like you have 5 mins spare you could even work on a web page html design ;p.

Dear Addshore!
You previously deleted an article about Instapp on 05:56, 2 February 2013. You said that, the article's aim was to advertise. Actually, the article's aim was to write a description about the framework. It was also formally correct. The article was accepted in other languages. For example in Spanish or in Hungarian. You can se the articles below: http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/InstApp http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/InstApp
I would like to recreate the page. Please, send me your comments what should I change or do something differently in order to publish the article!
I am waiting for your answer!

I Ask for semi-protection for this article, Largest cities in Europe.
A unregistered user continous to vandalism this article claiming "Turkish propaganda" and without links to a source. he also claims That Istanbul (Turkey) And Armenia - Georgia - Azerbaijan in the Caucasus region are not a part of Europe. These countries are all recognized states As European by the European Union and they are all members of the Council of Europe, "The Council of Europe is an international organization promoting co-operation between all countries of Europe in the areas of legal standards, human rights, democratic development, the rule of law and cultural co-operation".
Furthermore Turkey are a candidate country to join the EU, see Accession of Turkey to the European Union. So there are no reason not to in include these countries to Europe, these countries are also on all other articles recarding Europe on wikipedia.
I hope you as a Aministrator can se the need for the protection against this continous vandalism. Lactasamir ( talk) 12:17, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
Thank you for the answer:) The article Largest cities in Europe are still under vandalism, the unregistered user 46.254.75.1 are claiming "Turkish propaganda" and he is posting incorrect info without links to a source.
He will not engage discussion on the talk page, i have been giving the user several warning messages but no reply. So now i would like to report disruption and ask administrators to consider blocking this disruptive IP. Lactasamir ( talk) 23:26, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
