Thanks for the BG19bot's 08:28 UTC August 26 edit of The Spirit of the Age. No complaints about the helpful fixes made. But I would like to call your attention to your bot's misleading edit summary. It includes the words, "Punctuation goes before References." Yet punctuation placed after references is not one of the four errors it fixed. Only one had anything to do with references. This had me puzzled for a while. Not really that big a deal. But I'm wondering if it might be better to have your bot be a little less specific in its edit summaries, unless you can be sure that it is being accurate. -- Alan W ( talk) 04:36, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

Hello Bgwhite, my name is Ana Radecic. I am a film producer from Croatia. At the moment me and my team are developing/doing research about a life of an American black boxer Jimmy Lyggett Sr. I saw you edited/updated wikipedia details about Jimmy and we need a help with research. We would like to know if you know anything more about Jimmy's life (beside the wikipedia text), can you help us with some sources that we could use to go forward with our research.
Thank you in advance Ana Radecic — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anaradecic ( talk • contribs) 15:29, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
Just correcting some reflist errors and noticed that this bot had caused them in this article rather than tidying them up. It appears to have added a curly bracket in this edit rather than removing one. Not sure whether this is something that you can fix programmatically but thought I should flag it to you to take a look as this may not be the only example. -- gsyhiap ( talk) 01:28, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Just wondering why this bot edit was described as "Punctuation goes before References". I do admit that putting punctuation after references is a bête noire of mine, but all I can see in the edit is text substitution for template variables. Am I missing something obvious, or is the bot just selecting a stock message? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 08:21, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

Hello,
regarding the “Clubs” section of the 1986 WAFL season article, I noticed that you had filled in the gaps in the list of coaches and captains.
I wonder if you would be of any help and assistance regarding the articles I have created on the WANFL/WAFL/Westar Rules seasons of 1977 to 1985 and 1994 to 1999? Even if you cannot, could you tell me the source of your information as it is tough to find on the web. I also have been seeking detailed information to improve the “Club honours” section of the East Perth Football Club article. luokehao, 22:13 (AEST), 1 September 2013
SPOILER ALERT!
On tonight's episode of Breaking Bad, we learned that Jesse's friend (I'm not sure if it was Badger or Skinny Pete) talked about nothing but Babylon 5 for three hours. And I just discovered that Bryan Cranston had a small role on an episode of Babylon 5. Have you seen any of this season of Breaking Bad (online or elsewhere) yet? Or do you just wait to see it all later on Netflix? The sad countdown to the end continues: tonight was episode four of eight. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 07:34, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

The immediate need is Sister Christine— only copyedit, nothing else. Thank you. -- Tito☸ Dutta 11:51, 8 September 2013 (UTC)
... the Sister Christine article is still bish bnao jole (trying to find shore). Sister once told—
Our love for India came to birth, I think, when we first heard him (Swami Vivekananda) say the word, "India", in that marvellous voice of his. It seems incredible that so much could have been put into one small word of five letters. There was love, passion, pride, longing, adoration, tragedy, chivalry, heimweh, and again love. Whole volumes could not have produced such a feeling in others. It had the magic power of creating love in those who heard it. Even after, India became the land of heart's desire. Everything concerning her became if interest— became living— her people, her history, architecture, her manners and customs, her rivers, mountains, plains, her culture, her great spiritual concepts, her scriptures. And so culture, her great spiritual concepts, her scriptures. And so began a new life, a life of study, of meditation. The centre of interest was shifted.
Now, I have prepared this ALT hookbr.
I feel I am missing the life of the quote, specially the part "There was love, passion, pride, longing, adoration, tragedy, chivalry, heimweh, and again love", Can you spend to minutes and suggest a rewrite of the hook making it more compact, more meaningful, more informative? -- Tito☸ Dutta 01:46, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
Details of my confusion
|
---|
a) Vivekananda not only asked Christine's permission, but he reportedly read her mind too. b) The suggested hook mentions "thought reading" which is a scientifically unacknowledged act. Vivekananda reported exhibited his supernatural activities several times such as—
But, Vivekananda himself always discouraged to highlight these supernatural activities (I am not comparing, but Gautama Buddha and and most probably Jesus also discouraged highlighting their supernatural abilities). For example, in an interview published in The Memphis Commercial on 15 January 1894, he told— "What have those things to do with religion?" he asked. "Do they make a man purer? The Satan of your Bible is powerful, but differs from God in not being pure." |
For the hook you listed above, I would just put some parts in quotation marks: ... that, according to Sister Christine (pictured), her "love for India came to birth" when she first heard Swami Vivekananda uttering the word "India" in his "marvellous voice"? As for incorporating another part of the quote.... The following, at about 194 characters excluding (pictured) which doesn't count, isn't exactly a "compact hook", but it's still under the limit: ... that Sister Christine (pictured) said that Swami Vivekananda's mere uttering of the word "India" stirred emotions of "love, passion, pride, longing, adoration, tragedy, chivalry, heimweh, and again love"?

Hi! i had problems with updating the infobox because the "university inbox"-template wouldn't let me edit. I was only updating the information so that the numbers would be more current and not old or misguiding.

I am leaving this message with you as you had previously edited List of refrigerants. I noticed that an edit 'scrambled' the column position of a significant amount of data. The scrambling would be tedious to remedy by hand. I reverted to this version by 5 July 2012 EmausBot which is previous to the problem edits. This may have undid one of your edits. Please consider reapplying your edit, if necessary. You may want to discuss changes on talk:List of refrigerants#Reverted to 5 July 2012 EmausBot edit.

Hi,
Thank you very much for taking the time to visit the Camille and Kennerly Kitt page and for cleaning up some of the links to other Wikipedia pages, especially the ones with Spanish accents, which worked the way I had done them, but were quite unsightly; however, oddly enough, you can see on the Emirates247 page that the "|" does apply to the article I mentioned. It's strange, but there's an Emirates 24/7 and an Emirates 24|7. I'm surprised and glad I was able to link the page including the "|" in it. Anyway, I was wondering if you could help with the references section since you offered assistance, but maybe not for that, so I'm just asking. An administrator told me today that both styles that you can see on the Harp Twins page are deficient. If you look at the page history, not long ago we had a format that I was very fond of and easy to use but she said it was poor, and now there's basically a different format (except for my brand new edits), and she says it's better but still not good enough.
Anyway, again, thanks for your kind help, and have a nice day. And if you don't have time for the references section, I fully understand. Dontreader ( talk) 07:45, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

I have chosen the article Arise, awake, and stop not till the goal is reached as our last article in this festival. The theme of the article perfectly matches with the theme of the DYK celebration.

In this edit your BG19bot identified the edit it was making as "WP:CHECKWIKI error fix for #59. Remove br tag at end of parameter." However, it didn't remove a BR tag.

I explained here several hours ago that you had misunderstood me to some degree, and I felt the need to clarify the situation, but I have deleted what I wrote.

This edit severely broke the formatting (of the last paragraph of the lead section) of Klein quartic. I don't entirely understand why, nor how to get the boldface to work correctly with wikiformatting instead of <b> tags. But perhaps previewing your changes, or at least postviewing them, would have been appropriate. — David Eppstein ( talk) 04:22, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
Just letting you know I won't be following your suggestion not to work on
their articles. Aside from there being no such thing I am not going to reward Dontreader's poor behaviour like that.
On the no personal attacks, yes it would be better if someone else left that sort of message but who is going to? You didn't, despite one of the attacks being on your own talk page, instead you enabled him. "very rude", "Never courteous or constructive", "just highly destructive". By itself fairly insignificant attack and ignored at that time. Who else, none of the other third parties he complained about me to, each of them in isolation fairly insignificant. Add them up, he's running around all over the other place defaming me.
What was my history with him at that point of his above post?
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Camille and Kennerly Kitt (the likely catalyst for his hatred of me),
[1] and my total of three edits to his shrine
[2],
[3],
[4]. That's what kicked of his campaign.

Hello,
regarding the “Clubs” section of the 1986 WAFL season article, I noticed that you had filled in the gaps in the list of coaches and captains.
I wonder if you would be of any help and assistance regarding the articles I have created on the WANFL/WAFL/Westar Rules seasons of 1977 to 1985 and 1994 to 1999? Even if you cannot, could you tell me the source of your information as it is tough to find on the web. I also have been seeking detailed information to improve the “Club honours” section of the East Perth Football Club article. luokehao, 22:13 (AEST), 1 September 2013
SPOILER ALERT!
On tonight's episode of Breaking Bad, we learned that Jesse's friend (I'm not sure if it was Badger or Skinny Pete) talked about nothing but Babylon 5 for three hours. And I just discovered that Bryan Cranston had a small role on an episode of Babylon 5. Have you seen any of this season of Breaking Bad (online or elsewhere) yet? Or do you just wait to see it all later on Netflix? The sad countdown to the end continues: tonight was episode four of eight. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 07:34, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

The immediate need is Sister Christine— only copyedit, nothing else. Thank you. -- Tito☸ Dutta 11:51, 8 September 2013 (UTC)
... the Sister Christine article is still bish bnao jole (trying to find shore). Sister once told—
Our love for India came to birth, I think, when we first heard him (Swami Vivekananda) say the word, "India", in that marvellous voice of his. It seems incredible that so much could have been put into one small word of five letters. There was love, passion, pride, longing, adoration, tragedy, chivalry, heimweh, and again love. Whole volumes could not have produced such a feeling in others. It had the magic power of creating love in those who heard it. Even after, India became the land of heart's desire. Everything concerning her became if interest— became living— her people, her history, architecture, her manners and customs, her rivers, mountains, plains, her culture, her great spiritual concepts, her scriptures. And so culture, her great spiritual concepts, her scriptures. And so began a new life, a life of study, of meditation. The centre of interest was shifted.
Now, I have prepared this ALT hookbr.
I feel I am missing the life of the quote, specially the part "There was love, passion, pride, longing, adoration, tragedy, chivalry, heimweh, and again love", Can you spend to minutes and suggest a rewrite of the hook making it more compact, more meaningful, more informative? -- Tito☸ Dutta 01:46, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
Details of my confusion
|
---|
a) Vivekananda not only asked Christine's permission, but he reportedly read her mind too. b) The suggested hook mentions "thought reading" which is a scientifically unacknowledged act. Vivekananda reported exhibited his supernatural activities several times such as—
But, Vivekananda himself always discouraged to highlight these supernatural activities (I am not comparing, but Gautama Buddha and and most probably Jesus also discouraged highlighting their supernatural abilities). For example, in an interview published in The Memphis Commercial on 15 January 1894, he told— "What have those things to do with religion?" he asked. "Do they make a man purer? The Satan of your Bible is powerful, but differs from God in not being pure." |
For the hook you listed above, I would just put some parts in quotation marks: ... that, according to Sister Christine (pictured), her "love for India came to birth" when she first heard Swami Vivekananda uttering the word "India" in his "marvellous voice"? As for incorporating another part of the quote.... The following, at about 194 characters excluding (pictured) which doesn't count, isn't exactly a "compact hook", but it's still under the limit: ... that Sister Christine (pictured) said that Swami Vivekananda's mere uttering of the word "India" stirred emotions of "love, passion, pride, longing, adoration, tragedy, chivalry, heimweh, and again love"?

Hi! i had problems with updating the infobox because the "university inbox"-template wouldn't let me edit. I was only updating the information so that the numbers would be more current and not old or misguiding. But now since you "restored" the infobox to its old out-of-date state, i have to ask why you couldnt have let the numbers remain updated at least?

I am leaving this message with you as you had previously edited List of refrigerants. I noticed that an edit 'scrambled' the column position of a significant amount of data. The scrambling would be tedious to remedy by hand. I reverted to this version by 5 July 2012 EmausBot which is previous to the problem edits. This may have undid one of your edits. Please consider reapplying your edit, if necessary. You may want to discuss changes on talk:List of refrigerants#Reverted to 5 July 2012 EmausBot edit.

Hi,
Thank you very much for taking the time to visit the Camille and Kennerly Kitt page and for cleaning up some of the links to other Wikipedia pages, especially the ones with Spanish accents, which worked the way I had done them, but were quite unsightly; however, oddly enough, you can see on the Emirates247 page that the "|" does apply to the article I mentioned. It's strange, but there's an Emirates 24/7 and an Emirates 24|7. I'm surprised and glad I was able to link the page including the "|" in it. Anyway, I was wondering if you could help with the references section since you offered assistance, but maybe not for that, so I'm just asking. An administrator told me today that both styles that you can see on the Harp Twins page are deficient. If you look at the page history, not long ago we had a format that I was very fond of and easy to use but she said it was poor, and now there's basically a different format (except for my brand new edits), and she says it's better but still not good enough.
Anyway, again, thanks for your kind help, and have a nice day. And if you don't have time for the references section, I fully understand. Dontreader ( talk) 07:45, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

I have chosen the article Arise, awake, and stop not till the goal is reached as our last article in this festival. The theme of the article perfectly matches with the theme of the DYK celebration. The DYK nomination has already been passed. But, would please spend few minutes to revise the article and fix wording/grammar etc errors if you find any? -- Tito☸ Dutta 16:22, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
In this edit your BG19bot identified the edit it was making as "WP:CHECKWIKI error fix for #59. Remove br tag at end of parameter." However, it didn't remove a BR tag. Instead it changed the template name to remove a redirection. So, the edit seems to have been OK, it was just the description of what it was doing that appears to have been erroneous. — RP88 ( talk) 08:14, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

This edit severely broke the formatting (of the last paragraph of the lead section) of Klein quartic.

But perhaps previewing your changes, or at least postviewing them, would have been appropriate. — David Eppstein ( talk) 04:22, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
Just letting you know I won't be following your suggestion not to work on
their articles. Aside from there being no such thing I am not going to reward Dontreader's poor behaviour like that.
On the no personal attacks, yes it would be better if someone else left that sort of message but who is going to? You didn't, despite one of the attacks being on your own talk page, instead you enabled him. "very rude", "Never courteous or constructive", "just highly destructive". By itself fairly insignificant attack and ignored at that time. Who else, none of the other third parties he complained about me to, each of them in isolation fairly insignificant. Add them up, he's running around all over the other place defaming me.
What was my history with him at that point of his above post?
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Camille and Kennerly Kitt (the likely catalyst for his hatred of me),
[1] and my total of three edits to his shrine
[2],
[3],
[4]. That's what kicked of his campaign.
