I have been doing a lot of WP:AWB-driven list-making, to feed Citation bot with articles with bare URLs. (It makes useful progress, with about 20% of articles wholly cleared of bare URLs on first pass, and more on subsequent passes).
This morning's lists were of biographies.
I then intersected the two:
So 49.28% of our biogs which specify a date of birth in the last 6 decades of the 20th century are of sportspeople. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 11:03, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
@ JohnBod, Ipigott, and PamD:: some fresh numbers, if they is of interest.
Thanks to some kind help from @ MarioGom, I have advanced a little in my use of Wikidata (roughly from idiot grade to newbie), and now have a better count of the number of en.wp articles on women. This data is from a list of sportspeople using categories, and a list of women using Wikidata:
All women | 309,187 | |
Sportswomen | 82,996 | 26.8% |
Non-sports women | 226,191 | 73.2% |

I have looked at a few articles (basically they were later additions to articles I had improved to GA and watchlisted, but not kept on top of) and fixed up some of the references. I agree that refFill (and IABot) would improve the encyclopedia better, as it would allow readers to more easily verify the text given, where as a note saying "this is a bare URL" doesn't indicate how it might be fixed.
I appreciate The Rambling Man is not everyone's cup of tea, but if we can't discuss it quietly here, it might have to go to a noticeboard, which I don't think any of us want. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 15:40, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
as a note saying "this is a bare URL" doesn't indicate how it might be fixed. See e.g. my edit [2] to Birmingham Boys; the tag generates a linked note after the ref of the form '[bare url]', which links to Wikipedia:Bare URLs. The explanations are there. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 16:02, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
WP:Link rot: tag bare link references with {{ Bare URL inline}}is very informative, but of course I am open to suggestions. Do you want to suggest ways of improving these edit summaries? -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 16:14, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
High-volume tagging of bare links needs to have consensus because there are millions of such cases. In fact there is already a bot that does the tagging : Template:Cleanup_bare_URLs#On-demand_search_and_tag - which anyone can run, and for which I got consensus to deploy. It's designed so you can't add too many before fixing them first. Precisely for this reason, adding tons of these tags creates unmanageable large tracking categories. This is a special case due to the sheer volume and commonality of bare links. It is controversial high-volume auto-tagging vs. fixing. -- Green C 18:29, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
Spree??? Sheesh, TRM, try a little AGF. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 18:46, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
there are millions of such cases. My scans before tagging have been finding that about 10% of the articles scanned have bare URLs. It varies from set to set, but 10% seems to be about average, and that's about the same rate as the categories I mentioned above. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 18:44, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
the tag making it more difficult to fix the bare url problem. In my usage, I find that reFill very rarely produces a result that needs no further tweaking, so manual editing is needed. Since the wikicode has to be edited anyway, it's trivial issue to remove the tag.
Just another data point, I don't understand why Ian Pattison was tagged as having bare URLs. Unless I'm missing something obvious (always possible), I don't think the article has any. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 11:31, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

Greetings BrownHairedGirl,
I've opened a discussion on
Category talk:Establishments about the suitability of having a country's TV series debuts categorised under that country's esablishments. I was told by the helpdesk (see
here) to do that. I was also told that you were the editor who set up the relevant categories and templates, and I should let you know about this. If it's true you set this up I'd love to hear your opinion on this. And, assuming both you and the talkpage discussion agree with me, I would also love it if you could fix it because this goes way beyond my wiki-editing skills. Regards, --

What is a container category? Is it a category that only has other categories in it? If so, containerizing the category of political prisoners makes the question of Bobby Sands become Someone Else's Problem, which renders it almost invisible. I had been about to refer to containerizing political prisoners, but they are already in containers, and there is always controversy about whether to de-containerize them. A category for persons on lists of political prisoners is a different matter, but that isn't the question at DRV. I personally would like to make the question of whether someone is a political prisoner orthogonal from whether they should be imprisoned, but that isn't the question at DRV. Also, a category with some sort of fuzzy logic would be useful, but that isn't the question at DRV. Robert McClenon ( talk) 05:44, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

Hello, again, BHG,
Another category question. I was going through some maintenance categories and came across Category:Dibba Al-Fujairah Club which is a category redirect to an article. I didn't think this was supposed to happen, at least I've never seen it before. But when I went into the recent page history, it looks like the page has existed like this for a while. Should I leave it be, nominate it for CFD or do something else with it? Thank you! Liz Read! Talk! 04:18, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

BrownHairedGirl/Archive ( block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser ( log))
Request reason:
GeneralNotability, you made it explicitly clear at ANI
[10] that you were planning to block me because of my description of the vindictive conduct of an editor who has been waging a long-term vendetta against me and others, and has done so for years. In this case, that editor broke an IBAN against me on at least half-a-dozen occasions within 24 hours, and stoked two other editors to give me grief. My account of that editor's conduct was endorsed
[11] in the same ANI section by another of the victims of the vendetta-man.
I have spent most of the last 24 hours dealing with the fallout from Chris.sherlock's decision to reactivate his vendetta, and I am exhausted. Your decision to punish me for describing what has been done is pure
victimisation, and a de facto vindication of Chris.sherlock's strategy. Shame on you. --

@ GeneralNotability: I have a lot of respect for your work here, but I think you got this one wrong. HighInBC Need help? Just ask. 23:26, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
Major breaches of WP:CIV and WP:NPA toward many editors, and reading through the various diffs on ANI again, hardly any of them relate to CS/AAW. I would be interested in your response to your attacks on the other users who have spoken in that ANI thread, and specifically whether you have any plans to adjust in your future interactions with them. Otherwise I fear we will be back here again in a few weeks. ST47 ( talk) 01:01, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
You are involved in a recently filed request for arbitration. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case#BrownHairedGirl and, if you wish to do so, enter your statement and any other material you wish to submit to the Arbitration Committee. As threaded discussion is not permitted on most arbitration pages, please ensure that you make all comments in your own section only. Additionally, the guide to arbitration and the Arbitration Committee's procedures may be of use.
Thanks,
I want to emphasise that although I perfectly appreciate this feels like I'm throwing you under a bus for no good reason, I am doing this because I can't think of what else to do, and I believe all our interactions to this point have been civil and in good faith. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 14:26, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
The deliberate insult/pointy behavior from CS on your RFA2 was inexcusable and deliberate; I consider this a violent assault by an editor with whom you disagreed, an editor who held a grudge. Their RFA2 edit was mean spirited and against all civility norms and processes we all agree to as followers of rough consensus on Wikipedia. The edit seemed intended both to violate directly the interaction ban and to poison your potential RFA well (simultaneously sacrificing the account(s)). Any discussion of other recent matters (in context or meta) must be prefaced with an acknowledgement of this way out-of-line personal attack on you intended to do long term damage to the user rights of the User:BrownHairedGirl account, and thereby the person using that account.
With this in mind, I urge the following:
User:BrownHairedGirl, we have disagreed in good faith before, but I will never dispute your energy, diligence, or dedication to the project. I urge you to step back a bit here and allow the process to work. Your stridency, detail and work ethic can come across as combative.
It is appropriate for an editor under stress to make themself less stressed. As a friend of mind used to say: "if you find yourself on fire, get off the fire." A very wise person can do this by themselves; I usually need help from my friends to see the blaze.
There are many others who support you. I support you. Call on me personally or on other editors who know and love you. Please take a day or two and just take care of yourself. BusterD ( talk) 18:52, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

Following this I remain unimpressed with your hesitation to take responsibility for what that spiraled into and generally, your rather gross incivility regardless of if or not you were deliberately baited, goaded, and triggered. Name calling is simply unacceptable, calling someone a “thug” is violation of NPA. This is an unsolicited advice but I want you to see every ANI as a learning curve. If you feel an editor here is deliberately trying to trigger you, please avoid as much as possible any personal commentary, rather just report the incident. Following the concluded ANI, what I can see is that you are being handed a rope and I believe now more than ever you would be antagonized deliberately, please avoid this pitfall. It would be a great blow losing one of our most productive editors over trifling issues such as hesitation to say “I’m sorry” or incivility. Honestly I’d expect a higher conduct from one who has been a sysop in the past and ought to know better. Celestina007 ( talk) 21:17, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Category:MEPs for England 2018–2019 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:
This is a navigational aid cat created before {{ Navseasoncats}} was able to find & follow irregular seasons. It's now interfering with & preventing better navigation (see Category:MEPs for England 2014–2019 vs. Category:MEPs for England 2019–2020).
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, pages that meet certain criteria may be deleted at any time.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. ~ Tom.Reding ( talk ⋅ dgaf) 23:27, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
An editor has added Sir Robert Charles McLean of Alford OBE BT, 5th Baronet of Breda as a Chieftain of
Clan Maclean. I have removed this twice, but suspect that the editor might re-enter it.
There is no Maclean (or McLean) of Alford branch of the clan. There is no McLean (or Maclean) of Breda barony.

Hi. I've reverted
your recent edit to Battle of the Bulge, where you changed a couple of citations from the {{citation}} template to {{cite encyclopedia}}
. There is no "fix" there, because {{citation|encyclopedia=...}}
is a documented correct usage of the template (see the template documentation section
Template:Citation § Parts of books, including encyclopedia articles).
Also, changing from {{citation}}
to {{cite xxx}}
changes that citation's style from CS2 to CS1 (unless you specify mode=cs2
). But the article consistently uses CS2, so I don't see a need to change the CS in those two cases. —

|encyclopedia=
. It looks like only the {{cite book|last=Clodfelter...}}
ref was broken (because |encyclopedia=
isn't a valid parameter to {{cite book}}
). The {{citation|last=Axelrod|encyclopedia=...}}
reference wasn't broken, because |encyclopedia=
is a valid parameter to {{citation}}
.{{citation}}
to {{cite book}}
(thus causing the CS1 error). I caught that when I reverted your edit (I actually undid both, not just yours). I scanned the references in the current version (post 2-revert), I don't see any CS1 errors in them now. —

Hi, too late for the party because I stay away from Wikipedia as much as possible these days. I'm really sorry to see you constantly being the target for abuse, and every iteration of Arbcom is as corrupt as every other (with the exception of one or two really fine upstanding members, who unfortunately are often outnumbered by their colleagues). If no one else is aware of that miscreant's full history, well, I am. Exposing it, and the vile witchcraft of one or two other editors is what got me desysoped by a committee who refused to understand what was going on. I can't deny that I'm not sad to see him get his comeuppance. Three times ban is not enough, four would be better, and throw away the key, but that obsessive sock master (and would you believe it, former admin of all things) will be back again.

I got a bit too carried away adding {{ Navseasoncats}} (with its new variable-gap-finding functionality of up to 3 years) to the UK MPs 2017–2019 series before fully appreciating the nuances within it. Namely, 0-length terms such as
I've encountered elsewhere, and handled them via {{ Succeeding category}}, {{ Category pair}}, {{ Preceding category}}, respectively, but they didn't contain a hardcoded template like your {{ United Kingdom MPs by Parliament header}}, so 1974 doesn't show in the navbar now with {{ Navseasoncats}}, but immediately below it, and only on immediately-adjacent cats. I've seen a decent number of these that I'm pondering whether or not to add this functionality, but no idea how I'd go about doing it. And
which I haven't encountered yet, but I was anticipating adding support for this eventually.

On the talk page of User:Citation bot, you stated that you have discovered 75,000 to 300,000 or even 450k articles with bare urls that need attention. If fed through Citation bot, this would take roughly one year to run through. Considering that Citation bot attempts to make a wide variety of fixes to citations, and it is particularly weak on bare urls, doesn't using Citation bot for this purpose seem inefficient, especially given that the bot doesn't fix some of the articles at all, and makes unrelated fixes to about 40% of the articles without fixing the bare urls? Wouldn't it be better to have a dedicated bot that automatically finds and fixes just bare urls? Abductive ( reasoning) 01:23, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

Noteiced you've done quite a few runs of IABot on Ireland articles to add archives, e.g. [15] That can increase the amount of cite text around the prose making it harder to edit (I prefer to use Harvard when the cites get this long). Will you be continuing this? (I'm a little tired and I've probably phrased this more bluntly than I intended - Apologies). Thankyou. Djm-leighpark ( talk) 15:47, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
Hi BrownHairedGirl! While reviewing Category:CS1 errors: redundant parameter, I see that IABot is adding duplicate parameters when you run it - see this edit, this edit, and this edit for example. Could you please help clean up these edits and temporarily stop running IABot until the issue is resolved? Thanks! GoingBatty ( talk) 16:08, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
while we discuss this. That pledge was predicated on the assumption you would act collaboratively and engage in discussion, which you have refused to do. So I may resume use of the "save all links" option, but I will desist if you start a discussion somewhere (and notify me about it), or if other editors ask me to stop.
paid by Internet Archive, so instead of unilateral actions you should be exercising great restraint in using admin power in this area. If there really is a problem here, please let some other admin deal with it: there are plenty of other competent admins who do not have a COI and who are willing and able to discuss issues before blocking and before taking apparently-irrevocable actions. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 19:22, 25 September 2021 (UTC)

As a workaround until the IAbot bug phab:T291704 is fixed, I have written a wee script to add dashes to cite parameters: User:BrownHairedGirl/CiteParamDashes.js.

I have been doing a lot of WP:AWB-driven list-making, to feed Citation bot with articles with bare URLs. (It makes useful progress, with about 20% of articles wholly cleared of bare URLs on first pass, and more on subsequent passes).
This morning's lists were of biographies.
I then intersected the two:
So 49.28% of our biogs which specify a date of birth in the last 6 decades of the 20th century are of sportspeople. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 11:03, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
@ JohnBod, Ipigott, and PamD:: some fresh numbers, if they is of interest.
Thanks to some kind help from @ MarioGom, I have advanced a little in my use of Wikidata (roughly from idiot grade to newbie), and now have a better count of the number of en.wp articles on women. This data is from a list of sportspeople using categories, and a list of women using Wikidata:

Sportswomen | 82,996 | 26.8% |
Non-sports women | 226,191 | 73.2% |

I have looked at a few articles (basically they were later additions to articles I had improved to GA and watchlisted, but not kept on top of) and fixed up some of the references. I agree that refFill (and IABot) would improve the encyclopedia better, as it would allow readers to more easily verify the text given, where as a note saying "this is a bare URL" doesn't indicate how it might be fixed.
I appreciate The Rambling Man is not everyone's cup of tea, but if we can't discuss it quietly here, it might have to go to a noticeboard, which I don't think any of us want. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 15:40, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
as a note saying "this is a bare URL" doesn't indicate how it might be fixed. See e.g. my edit [2] to Birmingham Boys; the tag generates a linked note after the ref of the form '[bare url]', which links to Wikipedia:Bare URLs. The explanations are there. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 16:02, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
WP:Link rot: tag bare link references with {{ Bare URL inline}}is very informative, but of course I am open to suggestions. Do you want to suggest ways of improving these edit summaries? -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 16:14, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
High-volume tagging of bare links needs to have consensus because there are millions of such cases. In fact there is already a bot that does the tagging : Template:Cleanup_bare_URLs#On-demand_search_and_tag - which anyone can run, and for which I got consensus to deploy. It's designed so you can't add too many before fixing them first. Precisely for this reason, adding tons of these tags creates unmanageable large tracking categories. This is a special case due to the sheer volume and commonality of bare links. It is controversial high-volume auto-tagging vs. fixing. -- Green C 18:29, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
Spree??? Sheesh, TRM, try a little AGF. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 18:46, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
there are millions of such cases. My scans before tagging have been finding that about 10% of the articles scanned have bare URLs. It varies from set to set, but 10% seems to be about average, and that's about the same rate as the categories I mentioned above. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 18:44, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
the tag making it more difficult to fix the bare url problem. In my usage, I find that reFill very rarely produces a result that needs no further tweaking, so manual editing is needed. Since the wikicode has to be edited anyway, it's trivial issue to remove the tag.
Just another data point, I don't understand why Ian Pattison was tagged as having bare URLs. Unless I'm missing something obvious (always possible), I don't think the article has any. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 11:31, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

Greetings BrownHairedGirl,
I've opened a discussion on
Category talk:Establishments about the suitability of having a country's TV series debuts categorised under that country's esablishments. I was told by the helpdesk (see
here) to do that. I was also told that you were the editor who set up the relevant categories and templates, and I should let you know about this. If it's true you set this up I'd love to hear your opinion on this. And, assuming both you and the talkpage discussion agree with me, I would also love it if you could fix it because this goes way beyond my wiki-editing skills. Regards, --

What is a container category? Is it a category that only has other categories in it? If so, containerizing the category of political prisoners makes the question of Bobby Sands become Someone Else's Problem, which renders it almost invisible. I had been about to refer to containerizing political prisoners, but they are already in containers, and there is always controversy about whether to de-containerize them. A category for persons on lists of political prisoners is a different matter, but that isn't the question at DRV. I personally would like to make the question of whether someone is a political prisoner orthogonal from whether they should be imprisoned, but that isn't the question at DRV. Also, a category with some sort of fuzzy logic would be useful, but that isn't the question at DRV. Robert McClenon ( talk) 05:44, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

Hello, again, BHG,
Another category question. I was going through some maintenance categories and came across Category:Dibba Al-Fujairah Club which is a category redirect to an article. I didn't think this was supposed to happen, at least I've never seen it before. But when I went into the recent page history, it looks like the page has existed like this for a while.

Request reason:
GeneralNotability, you made it explicitly clear at ANI
[10] that you were planning to block me because of my description of the vindictive conduct of an editor who has been waging a long-term vendetta against me and others, and has done so for years. In this case, that editor broke an IBAN against me on at least half-a-dozen occasions within 24 hours, and stoked two other editors to give me grief. My account of that editor's conduct was endorsed
[11] in the same ANI section by another of the victims of the vendetta-man.
I have spent most of the last 24 hours dealing with the fallout from Chris.sherlock's decision to reactivate his vendetta, and I am exhausted. Your decision to punish me for describing what has been done is pure
victimisation, and a de facto vindication of Chris.sherlock's strategy. Shame on you. --

You are involved in a recently filed request for arbitration. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case#BrownHairedGirl and, if you wish to do so, enter your statement and any other material you wish to submit to the Arbitration Committee. As threaded discussion is not permitted on most arbitration pages, please ensure that you make all comments in your own section only. Additionally, the guide to arbitration and the Arbitration Committee's procedures may be of use.
Thanks,
I want to emphasise that although I perfectly appreciate this feels like I'm throwing you under a bus for no good reason, I am doing this because I can't think of what else to do, and I believe all our interactions to this point have been civil and in good faith. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 14:26, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
The deliberate insult/pointy behavior from CS on your RFA2 was inexcusable and deliberate; I consider this a violent assault by an editor with whom you disagreed, an editor who held a grudge. Their RFA2 edit was mean spirited and against all civility norms and processes we all agree to as followers of rough consensus on Wikipedia. The edit seemed intended both to violate directly the interaction ban and to poison your potential RFA well (simultaneously sacrificing the account(s)). Any discussion of other recent matters (in context or meta) must be prefaced with an acknowledgement of this way out-of-line personal attack on you intended to do long term damage to the user rights of the User:BrownHairedGirl account, and thereby the person using that account.
With this in mind, I urge the following:
User:BrownHairedGirl, we have disagreed in good faith before, but I will never dispute your energy, diligence, or dedication to the project. I urge you to step back a bit here and allow the process to work. Your stridency, detail and work ethic can come across as combative.
It is appropriate for an editor under stress to make themself less stressed. As a friend of mind used to say: "if you find yourself on fire, get off the fire." A very wise person can do this by themselves; I usually need help from my friends to see the blaze.
There are many others who support you. I support you. Call on me personally or on other editors who know and love you. Please take a day or two and just take care of yourself. BusterD ( talk) 18:52, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

Following this I remain unimpressed with your hesitation to take responsibility for what that spiraled into and generally, your rather gross incivility regardless of if or not you were deliberately baited, goaded, and triggered. Name calling is simply unacceptable, calling someone a “thug” is violation of NPA. This is an unsolicited advice but I want you to see every ANI as a learning curve. If you feel an editor here is deliberately trying to trigger you, please avoid as much as possible any personal commentary, rather just report the incident. Following the concluded ANI, what I can see is that you are being handed a rope and I believe now more than ever you would be antagonized deliberately, please avoid this pitfall. It would be a great blow losing one of our most productive editors over trifling issues such as hesitation to say “I’m sorry” or incivility.

Hi. I've reverted
your recent edit to Battle of the Bulge, where you changed a couple of citations from the {{citation}} template to {{cite encyclopedia}}
. There is no "fix" there, because {{citation|encyclopedia=...}}
is a documented correct usage of the template (see the template documentation section
Template:Citation § Parts of books, including encyclopedia articles).
Also, changing from {{citation}}
to {{cite xxx}}
changes that citation's style from CS2 to CS1 (unless you specify mode=cs2
). But the article consistently uses CS2, so I don't see a need to change the CS in those two cases. —

). The {{citation|last=Axelrod|encyclopedia=...}}
reference wasn't broken, because |encyclopedia=

.{{citation}}
to {{cite book}}

Hi, too late for the party because I stay away from Wikipedia as much as possible these days. I'm really sorry to see you constantly being the target for abuse, and every iteration of Arbcom is as corrupt as every other (with the exception of one or two really fine upstanding members, who unfortunately are often outnumbered by their colleagues). If no one else is aware of that miscreant's full history, well, I am. Exposing it, and the vile witchcraft of one or two other editors is what got me desysoped by a committee who refused to understand what was going on. I can't deny that I'm not sad to see him get his comeuppance. Three times ban is not enough, four would be better, and throw away the key, but that obsessive sock master (and would you believe it, former admin of all things) will be back again.

I got a bit too carried away adding {{ Navseasoncats}} (with its new variable-gap-finding functionality of up to 3 years) to the UK MPs 2017–2019 series before fully appreciating the nuances within it. Namely, 0-length terms such as
I've encountered elsewhere, and handled them via {{ Succeeding category}}, {{ Category pair}}, {{ Preceding category}}, respectively, but they didn't contain a hardcoded template like your {{ United Kingdom MPs by Parliament header}}, so 1974 doesn't show in the navbar now with {{ Navseasoncats}}, but immediately below it, and only on immediately-adjacent cats. I've seen a decent number of these that I'm pondering whether or not to add this functionality, but no idea how I'd go about doing it. And

On the talk page of User:Citation bot, you stated that you have discovered 75,000 to 300,000 or even 450k articles with bare urls that need attention. If fed through Citation bot, this would take roughly one year to run through. Considering that Citation bot attempts to make a wide variety of fixes to citations, and it is particularly weak on bare urls, doesn't using Citation bot for this purpose seem inefficient, especially given that the bot doesn't fix some of the articles at all, and makes unrelated fixes to about 40% of the articles without fixing the bare urls? Wouldn't it be better to have a dedicated bot that automatically finds and fixes just bare urls? Abductive ( reasoning) 01:23, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

We request you to participate in the assessment drive. Learn more about the event here, learn assessment process and rewards details. Please add your name as a participant here.
Feel free to discuss this on the event talk page or at WikiProject India noticeboard.

For hanging in there and just heads down getting the work done with the best can-do spirit, I award you this distinctly (somewhere on the spectrum between indigo and violet) barnstar. Your dedication and precision inspire tea-drinking wikipedians to a high quality of performance. BusterD ( talk) 19:44, 4 September 2021 (UTC) |

Would you call this excessive/disruptive categorization? I don't delve into the topic of categories often, but my impression was that we apply the most specific category and not additionally apply supercategories of the specific ones. (I've already warned the user re: overlinking). OhNoitsJamie Talk 15:40, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
I'm Swagat Dash Mohapatra from India. We the students of Indian institute of science education and research Berhampur have started a science communication platform in odia and english. I have already made a Wikipedia page on our platform. And wanted to make one in English named "Jigyansa: A Bilingual Science Communication platform". I have made a draft as I have no access to make a new page in English Wikipedia. Please make a new page on our platform ( we will edit rest of things). Link to my draft : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:%E0%AC%B2%E0%AD%87%E0%AC%96%E0%AC%95/Jigyansa:_A_Bilingual_Science_Communication_platform
Link to our website: https://jigyansaiiserbpr.github.io/website/ For your reference
You can check us on FB, instagram, twitter and linkedin. Please help us in creating a page. You can do it by translating the page in odia ( link is given below) or create a new page linking it to odia page.

I saw your note about the bare URL in the article on the Seward Johnson sculpture "The Awakening." Although I didn't set it up to begin with, I decided to follow the URL and fill out the citation. I tried to ping you when I did it, but got that all wrong. Uporządnicki ( talk) 13:04, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

Noteiced you've done quite a few runs of IABot on Ireland articles to add archives, e.g. [15] That can increase the amount of cite text around the prose making it harder to edit (I prefer to use Harvard when the cites get this long). Will you be continuing this? (I'm a little tired and I've probably phrased this more bluntly than I intended - Apologies). Thankyou. Djm-leighpark ( talk) 15:47, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
Hi BrownHairedGirl! While reviewing Category:CS1 errors: redundant parameter, I see that IABot is adding duplicate parameters when you run it - see this edit, this edit, and this edit for example. Could you please help clean up these edits and temporarily stop running IABot until the issue is resolved? Thanks! GoingBatty ( talk) 16:08, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
while we discuss this. That pledge was predicated on the assumption you would act collaboratively and engage in discussion, which you have refused to do. So I may resume use of the "save all links" option, but I will desist if you start a discussion somewhere (and notify me about it), or if other editors ask me to stop.
paid by Internet Archive, so instead of unilateral actions you should be exercising great restraint in using admin power in this area. If there really is a problem here, please let some other admin deal with it: there are plenty of other competent admins who do not have a COI and who are willing and able to discuss issues before blocking and before taking apparently-irrevocable actions. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 19:22, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
( talk page stalker) Seems peremptory. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 17:51, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
( talk page stalker) Extremely peremptory, unless there is a conversation elsewhere. Oculi ( talk) 19:54, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
@ Oculi, Deepfriedokra, Djm-leighpark, and GoingBatty: could you clarify in definitive terms if you want BrownHairedGirl to stop until there has been a conversation somewhere? Oculi's comment looks certain. There have also been previous discussions where mass adding of links was controversial and no consensus for it was established. -- Green C 21:05, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
As a workaround until the IAbot bug phab:T291704 is fixed, I have written a wee script to add dashes to cite parameters: User:BrownHairedGirl/CiteParamDashes.js.
Using the script before invoking IAbot will avoid the parameter duplication caused by this bug. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 22:21, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
