Hi CBM, as you are busy please don't feel obligated to respond. I contacted you previously about modifications to the bot, but decided that (as you) I don't have the time or energy to maintain a bot. Instead, I have made some changes to the peer review backend (redirected everything to one template, using parameters instead of a page name), as described here: Wikipedia:Peer_review/Tools. Thanks again from the Wiki community for creating the bot; the PR process is flourishing, and I hope my changes will help this process. Kind regards, -- LT910001 ( talk) 05:16, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
As one of the previous contributors to {{ Infobox film}} or as one of the commenters on it's talk page, I would like to inform you that there has been a RfC started on the talk page as to implementation of previously deprecated parameters. Your comments and thoughts on the matter would be welcomed. Happy editing!

Hi, I'am currently writing a thesis in mathematical logic. I think that the best definition of the Lightface hierarchy I could fine is the one on the Wikipedia page on Borel hierarchy. I could not find it in any book. Do you have references for this definition ?

Your PeerReviewBot made a mistake, and closed a peer review that I had just opened 30 minutes before. Here's the bot's edit: [link https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Wikipedia:Peer_review/Thirteen_%28Megadeth_album%29/archive2&oldid=625244061].

Hi CBM, I'm a newbie, please excuse my inexperience in Wikipedia environment. The use of the NPOV Template appears to have resulted in a lot of confusion on the Talk page of the article on MH17. Here is what I posted on that page just now. I checked through the template archive, and it appears that you added the wording which caused issues.

…until you are done, but clearly, WP does care if sources are verifiable, because in the limiting case, of all sources only available to select editors, the encyclopedia is only verifiable by those creating the text (so generally unverifiable, and in a practical sense, elitist).

Hi CBM, as you probably know I've been active on peer review for some time, including remodelling it, reworking the instructions, creating the 'tools' page as documentation for other users, and fielding answers to regular questions. Would it be possible to:
I am a regular user, have 19,000+ edits, and have developed several GAs. You probably have seen me contributing to the peer review process. I'm not exactly sure how to operate a bot, however in my experience it is down relatively often, and usually when I am online. So if that was the case I could investigate the cause and turn the bot on. This is a rather important bot as two processes (GA and PR) both depend on it. Please consider my request and I am happy to answer any questions. -- Tom (LT) ( talk) 23:39, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

As long as Betacommand is benefiting the encyclopedia, our core policy demands that we ignore rules that get in the way. Sockpuppetry or other rule-breaking of the sort pretty much always hurts the encyclopedia, if for no other reason than that we can't trust that the user will make problematic edits with yet other usernames. Here, Betacommand isn't causing problems (at least as far as I've heard) with this username, i.e. we either implement his suggestions or we say "no thanks", and I don't know of anything that's by itself problematic. If that were the case, i.e. he was wasting our time with frivolous stuff or making edits that were offensive in some way, we'd need to shut him down, but unless he's actively causing problems, the only users needing to be stopped are those who are trying to prevent improvements from being made. The goal is building an encyclopedic, not sticking it to the banned users. Nyttend ( talk) 21:43, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
Hi Carl,
The issue with banned users is that the process for getting unbanned is utterly insane -- e.g. the banned users get to apply annually, have to admit to and repent sins that were not committed; the actual guilty party who issued the ban is still probably an admin and will wake up and ban again. There is no recourse whatsoever, and no protection for the ordinary user. The system is stacked against the innocent, and encourages the misbehaving (miscreant) admin(s) to abuse their power. Its much better to not tangle with the powers-that-be, and instead, fly under the radar, use sock-puppet accounts, edit anonymously. You've known me for 10 years; for me, this is the #1 problem facing WP, in my opinion. Its broken, and the admins are out of control, and are mis-using their powers. 84.15.191.139 ( talk) 22:45, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi Carl,
I know you have a certain familiarity with the phil-of-math literature, so I was hoping you could help me find a source that gives a survey of various views on the meaningfulness of assigning truth values to axioms. I have supplied a citation at axiom, one of Maddy's early articles, but I haven't read it lately and I don't know how much she discusses other views (also it's sort of specific to set theory). I could pull in Peter Koellner and his paper on "absolutely undecidable", but again, very much about set theory. -- Trovatore ( talk) 00:07, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

The Arbitration Committee has resolved by motion that:
In a 2005 arbitration case, User:CarlHewitt - who is the noted computer scientist of that name - was banned from editing content about himself or his own work (Remedy 1) and was placed on probation (Remedy 2). Following the case, he was found to have engaged in repeated sockpuppetry in violation of those restrictions and was indefinitely blocked in 2009.
Remedy 2 of the Carl Hewitt case is rescinded and his indefinite block is lifted. Carl Hewitt is permitted to edit under the following conditions:
Violations of any of the above may be managed by blocks as arbitration enforcement actions. Disruptive or tendentious contributions by IP users to the articles or talk pages related to Prof. Hewitt may be managed by blocks and/or protection as needed, and editors are encouraged not to engage in conversation with such users.

Can you help me out here? Has Hewitt weakened PM + Peano arithmetic (P, i.e. Goedel's "system") so much that certain "critical" functions/constructions are disallowed? (via his "strongly parameterized types" whatever that means . . .; I've done some C-programming and a ton of machine- and assembly-language programming. But Hewitt's "strongly parameterized types" doesn't mean anything to me.) If so, is his severely restricted "system" -- call it "H" for Hewitt -- so weak that now "it's not the case that: 'everything that is computable in P can be computed in H'". To your knowledge is there any secondary, interpretive, written-for-guys-like-me literature available that I can consult? Thanks, Bill Wvbailey ( talk) 22:03, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

Logical step 2: without a populated |url=

Logical step 3: the |access-date=

Yes, providing any sort of valid url will suppress the error message and prevent the maintenance category from being populated. However, there are bots that migrate redundant urls, i.e. by migrating bibcodes-in-urls to |bibcode=

Replying here, because a) it's kind of redundant with much of what's already been said over there, and b) I want that thread to archive, so Tony1's proposal to reopen the discussion cleanly in a new thread, will proceed unhindered. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼ 01:08, 28 December 2016 (UTC)
SMcCandlish - the issue I see is that the new language that was added to the MOS might incorrectly suggest that "optional styles" only means "styles where the MOS lays out options", rather than its longstanding meaning of "all reasonable styles not prohibited by the MOS, regardless whether they are explicitly mentioned". The longstanding behavioral principle from MOSRETAIN, CITEVAR, ENGVAR, etc. is to encourage standardization on things required by guidelines and encourage stability on things not covered by them. In any case, it seems from the conversation that there's no positive consensus for the addition of the words "under the Manual of Style" without some additional qualification to continue encouraging stability in matters not mentioned by the MOS. What language would you propose? — Carl (
CBM ·
talk) 12:17, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
I don't have any issue with the idea of clarifying (without altering) the "acceptable"-related material in question, and already (in the same subsection, I think) specifically suggested moving the don't-editwar-over-style material (with its ArbCom footnote) to be in front of the "acceptable under MoS" material, and linking them with "In particular," then changing the end of the latter to say "without consensus" rather than "without good reason" (the "good reason" part actually pertains to what ArbCom said, not how style should be changed when it should). But that entire meta-thread has turned into a sprawling mess that will not achieve consensus on anything. I will re-raise, in Tony1's clean-slated discussion, my suggestion and will include exact draft language, if someone doesn't beat me to it. The rest of the material below is kind of supplementary.
Material added over a year and half ago, that has been stable the entire time without interpretational conflicts, and was only objected to by a party who has an long-standing anti-centralization mission against MoS itself (i.e., style should be determined at the article-by-article level), is not "new language that was added to MoS"; it's part of MoS, being deleted without consensus. Removing it and reverting its restoration pending a clear consensus for removal is against our status quo ante standard operating procedure when it comes to content disputes.
Moving on: How MoS actually works is that we don't have a rule about something unless people keep fighting about it. A rule is introduced to stop the fighting (ideally, it's one based on what academic style guides are doing, but they don't always agree, in which case something arbitrary is necessarily chosen, often based on which of the formal-English styles are most commonly found in RS). I agree that stability is encouraged with regard to style matters not covered in the guidelines; this is why ArbCom issued warnings against style-warring, and why MoS already has wording to the same effect.
What is not going to fly is someone editwarring into MoS some kind of "any style I personally think is acceptable can never be changed at my articles" loophole, which appears to be the intent of several parties involved. It's an attempt to migrate essentially the same rule from WP:CITEVAR, which was PoV-forked from ENGVAR and DATEVAR, to permit made-up bullshit. This terrible misinterpretation has been strongly defended by several parties at WT:CITE, and I fear the matter will not be resolved without taking it to ArbCom, who will surely not sustain this "I can fight forever to keep anyone from replacing my personal, wholly-invented citation 'style' no else can follow" misinterpretation. (It actually might be resolvable with a WP:VPP RfC.) In the interim, it would be disastrous to permit this territorial idiosyncrasy nonsense to spread to the other 'VAR guidelines. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼ 01:08, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

There are some CHECKWIKI fixes that I think nobody would be likely to complain about, such as this one.
On the other hand, some really do seem cosmetic, such as [8]. The description for that one even says "MediaWiki has no problem with this". I have written parsers many times, both using regular expressions and using more complicated algorithms, and removing/skipping/ignoring white space is one of the easiest issues to deal with. Moreover, a parser would have to skip spaces anyway, because it's unlikely the bot would have fixed all the instances. So this seems to be a fix in search of a problem, instead of a problem in search of a fix. It is based on a misunderstanding of what is hard about writing a parser.
I am sure it would be possible to go through the list of CHECKWIKI items, and rather than asking "can AWB do this", ask "does this actually cause problems", and only fix the ones that actually cause problems. — Carl ( CBM · talk) 12:52, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

The edit is done per WP:REFPUNCT i.e. the Holy Manual of Style that everyone has to follow. -- Magioladitis ( talk) 00:02, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
This is not a test. I am fixing stuff per the Manual of Style. The BOTTASK will, if approved, have more things caught and it will save me lots of hours per day. Since you have worked with AWB yourself. You know how this goes. I open a tab to reply I keep pressing Save on the AWB window and I return back to save the page here. Telling its not supervised when I replied to you within seconds it's a mistake. Today I am in in full frustration exactly because I spent all this time saving edits in AWB. If you found ANY mistake please report it. Just report that I edit it makes no real sense. Also note that I changed the edit summary immediately after you reported that the edit was unclear. But ofourse the edit was not unclear to you because you are an experienced editor and you also read very well the pages in your watchist. And this is the big question: You should be more than happy with the edits then. Because, at least in your case, no vandalism can hide behind any "trivial" or "non-trivial" edit because you actually check the pages in our watchlist (and I really like this). Why do you complain exactly then? -- Magioladitis ( talk) 00:07, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
Some tasks may be done manually but ofcourse it's easier to do by bot. The problem here is that you obviously disagree with the edit itself and not that it was t done by a future bot. It's clear because at the same time you oppose the bot tasks and you ante them to be done without general fixes i.e. in some cases they can't be done. -- Magioladitis ( talk) 00:10, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
On the redirects: See that I did a lot of effort to reduce them and I am underway to propose an alternative way to treat these templates. It's not my fault. I learned to leave with it because I can't deal with it right now. In the future there will be no redirect bypasssing because AWB will recognise all redirects. -- Magioladitis ( talk) 00:17, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
The only reason I want to run the bot with no general fixes is that in bot mode there is the chance that the actual fix is not done. I doubt I failed from my main account. I hear your reports about my skip checks and my edit summaries. You recognise the fact that many of the things you reported were eventually fixed.Recall that the ArbCom started 1 or days after 2 major problems were fixed (ref reoreding and whitespace between subheaders) and 1 or 2 days after I added more details to my edit summaries. -- Magioladitis ( talk) 00:20, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
I know that you are of the most hard-code "if it is not broken don't fix it" persons I ever met and I appreciate your reports even if sometimes I think you are little too hard with me. It's past my bed time. Sure I type fast and sometimes I also like to impress by having multiple tabs and pressing save at the same time. Not even with AWB sometimes. But working with Wikipedia should also be fun sometimes. We should be having good time whle contribuing. Anyway... -- Magioladitis ( talk) 00:26, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the information about chess. So is chess determined or not? Once we have a clear answer to that question, can we add that to Determinacy?

But if this branch of mathematics doesn't address games that can end in draws, it should say so in the introduction I think. Thanks LithiumFlash ( talk) 14:19, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi,
I noticed that you removed the proof of the halting problem from the uncomputability of kolmogorov complexity. The reason given in the edit message was:
The Kolmogorov complexity argument is somewhat circular; unprovability of complexity is usually shown by reducing the Halting problem to that problem
However this does not seem true to me - the kolmogorov complexity#Basic_results page's main proof of it doesn't use the halting problem at all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.208.172.118 ( talk) 22:15, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

I'd like a second opinion, given that you were the contributor that originally brought this up.
The maintainer of WPCleaner feels understandably that editors are expected to exercise common sense. However, I disagree and made some suggestions on the guithub issue linked which I felt were reasonable technical measures to prevent similar issues arising in the future, which were for the moment considered by the maintainer to be unworkable.
The issue of 'unapproved' bot-like behavior may be resolved, but the technical measures (or lack) that caused it to become an issue, have not to my post-incident satisfaction necessarily been resolved. Yes editors are expected to exercise common sense, and read warnings in tools, but how many other enthusiastic contributors really do that?
If the technical measures can't be implemented in the tool can they be implemented on Wikipedia? ShakespeareFan00 ( talk) 11:17, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

"Second-order logic also includes quantification over sets and functions" — really? I was under the impression that what it actually quantifies are predicates, and that those can be used to represent sets or functions, rather than allowing sets or functions themselves. See e.g. Monadic second-order logic, which talks (sloppily) about quantifying over sets in the lead, but later clarifies that this is really over unary predicates. — David Eppstein ( talk) 17:22, 3 November 2017 (UTC)

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

@ Sławomir Biały and CBM: How long do you two want to argue circularly about this? At some point it has to become clear that nothing, anywhere, is "banning" use of colons for indentation. All that's happening is that 3 MoS pages (including the main one) have long pointed out more accessible ways to indent, which people are free to use. Why on earth you're generating multi-page WP:DRAMA piles about this is unclear, but it badly needs to wind down. If you think it's going to win hearts and minds for you to go to WT:ACCESS and basically tell everyone who cares about accessibility that they can go soak their heads since [ta-daa!] you have a canvassed RfC full of off-topic commentary about maths markup, I really think you need to take a step back. This has no effect of any kind on math markup; and indentation methods and their accessibility are entirely outside the scope of both MOS:MATH (which is subordinate to WP:MOS) and WP:MATH.
Can you please find something more productive to do than territorially beat your chests over something that is of no concern to math presentation? No one is telling you what markup you can use. But you don't get to prevent everyone finding out that other markup is available that doesn't make blind people's experience here awful for no reason other than your personal convenience. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ >ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ< 18:22, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
PS: I realize we've all gotten a bit testy over this. I'd like to de-escalate, and I just retracted something I said over at WT:MOSMATH as unnecessarily hyperbolic. Please consider whether some of your own stance-taking is overly dramatized. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ >ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ< 23:14, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
I have seen the message "The article data analytics redirects to this article, so the term "data analytics" should appear in the lede in bold somewhere" in the talk page of the data analysis article, but there's no evidence that these terms are used interchangeably by the majority of the people. Some people claim that data analytics is a sub-field of data analysis, so they would not be synonyms. Unless you provided a citation, I would not include "data analytics" as a synonym of "data analysis".
Hello,
There will be some changes to the way wikitext is parsed during the next few weeks. It will affect all namespaces. You can see a list of pages that may display incorrectly at Special:LintErrors. Since most of the easy problems have already been solved at the English Wikipedia, I am specifically contacting tech-savvy editors such as yourself with this one-time message, in the hope that you will be able to investigate the remaining high-priority pages during the next month.
There are approximately 10,000 articles (and many more non-article pages) with high-priority errors. The most important ones are the articles with misnested tags and table problems. Some of these involve templates, such as infoboxes, or the way the template is used in the article. In some cases, the "error" is a minor, unimportant difference in the visual appearance. In other cases, the results are undesirable. You can see a before-and-after comparison of any article by adding ?action=parsermigration-edit to the end of a link, like this: /info/en/?search=Arthur_Foss?action=parsermigration-edit (which shows a difference in how {{ infobox ship}} is parsed).
If you are interested in helping with this project, please see Wikipedia:Linter. There are also some basic instructions (and links to even more information) at https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-ambassadors/2018-April/001836.html You can also leave a note at WT:Linter if you have questions.

Re the article, I want to point you to the fact that my "boldness" consisted in re-establishing a "longstanding" status before a chain of disputed edits, which lacked any form of consensus on the TP. This re-established status refers to line in a way (as explicitly stated!) that is not to my taste ("quantity along a line"). I am convinced that my edit doing this was according to the rules, and I just additionally expressed my knowledge of me being very bold, given the reputation of the contributors.
Re the TP, if you check my reply to Trovatore's claim of "... a real number ... can represent ... along the real line"
(in variants) not being circular, you will find that I have no problems with the intuitive meaning of "line", but ferociously oppose to "real line"
(twice emphasis of "real" mine). Simply looking up
real line confirms my position.
I did not want to deal at the TP of Real number with these circumstances, which I perceive as unfounded criticizing my behavior, especially since I can agree to the new development started by D.Lazard, but factually I would like to know, where you see my wrong doings and lack of understanding.

Hi CBM, as you are busy please don't feel obligated to respond. I contacted you previously about modifications to the bot, but decided that (as you) I don't have the time or energy to maintain a bot. Instead, I have made some changes to the peer review backend (redirected everything to one template, using parameters instead of a page name), as described here: Wikipedia:Peer_review/Tools. Thanks again from the Wiki community for creating the bot; the PR process is flourishing, and I hope my changes will help this process. Kind regards, -- LT910001 ( talk) 05:16, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

…until you are done, but clearly, WP does care if sources are verifiable, because in the limiting case, of all sources only available to select editors, the encyclopedia is only verifiable by those creating the text (so generally unverifiable, and in a practical sense, elitist).

Hi CBM, as you probably know I've been active on peer review for some time, including remodelling it, reworking the instructions, creating the 'tools' page as documentation for other users, and fielding answers to regular questions. Would it be possible to:
I am a regular user, have 19,000+ edits, and have developed several GAs. You probably have seen me contributing to the peer review process. I'm not exactly sure how to operate a bot, however in my experience it is down relatively often, and usually when I am online. So if that was the case I could investigate the cause and turn the bot on. This is a rather important bot as two processes (GA and PR) both depend on it. Please consider my request and I am happy to answer any questions. -- Tom (LT) ( talk) 23:39, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

As long as Betacommand is benefiting the encyclopedia, our core policy demands that we ignore rules that get in the way. Sockpuppetry or other rule-breaking of the sort pretty much always hurts the encyclopedia, if for no other reason than that we can't trust that the user will make problematic edits with yet other usernames. Here, Betacommand isn't causing problems (at least as far as I've heard) with this username, i.e. we either implement his suggestions or we say "no thanks", and I don't know of anything that's by itself problematic. If that were the case, i.e. he was wasting our time with frivolous stuff or making edits that were offensive in some way, we'd need to shut him down, but unless he's actively causing problems, the only users needing to be stopped are those who are trying to prevent improvements from being made. The goal is building an encyclopedic, not sticking it to the banned users. Nyttend ( talk) 21:43, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
Hi Carl,
The issue with banned users is that the process for getting unbanned is utterly insane -- e.g. the banned users get to apply annually, have to admit to and repent sins that were not committed; the actual guilty party who issued the ban is still probably an admin and will wake up and ban again. There is no recourse whatsoever, and no protection for the ordinary user. The system is stacked against the innocent, and encourages the misbehaving (miscreant) admin(s) to abuse their power. Its much better to not tangle with the powers-that-be, and instead, fly under the radar, use sock-puppet accounts, edit anonymously. You've known me for 10 years; for me, this is the #1 problem facing WP, in my opinion. Its broken, and the admins are out of control, and are mis-using their powers. 84.15.191.139 ( talk) 22:45, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi Carl,
I know you have a certain familiarity with the phil-of-math literature, so I was hoping you could help me find a source that gives a survey of various views on the meaningfulness of assigning truth values to axioms. I have supplied a citation at axiom, one of Maddy's early articles, but I haven't read it lately and I don't know how much she discusses other views (also it's sort of specific to set theory).

The Arbitration Committee has resolved by motion that:
In a 2005 arbitration case, User:CarlHewitt - who is the noted computer scientist of that name - was banned from editing content about himself or his own work (Remedy 1) and was placed on probation (Remedy 2). Following the case, he was found to have engaged in repeated sockpuppetry in violation of those restrictions and was indefinitely blocked in 2009.
Remedy 2 of the Carl Hewitt case is rescinded and his indefinite block is lifted. Carl Hewitt is permitted to edit under the following conditions:
Violations of any of the above may be managed by blocks as arbitration enforcement actions. Disruptive or tendentious contributions by IP users to the articles or talk pages related to Prof. Hewitt may be managed by blocks and/or protection as needed, and editors are encouraged not to engage in conversation with such users.

Can you help me out here? Has Hewitt weakened PM + Peano arithmetic (P, i.e. Goedel's "system") so much that certain "critical" functions/constructions are disallowed? (via his "strongly parameterized types" whatever that means . . .; I've done some C-programming and a ton of machine- and assembly-language programming. But Hewitt's "strongly parameterized types" doesn't mean anything to me.) If so, is his severely restricted "system" -- call it "H" for Hewitt -- so weak that now "it's not the case that: 'everything that is computable in P can be computed in H'". To your knowledge is there any secondary, interpretive, written-for-guys-like-me literature available that I can consult? Thanks, Bill Wvbailey ( talk) 22:03, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

Logical step 3: the |access-date=

Yes, providing any sort of valid url will suppress the error message and prevent the maintenance category from being populated. However, there are bots that migrate redundant urls, i.e. by migrating bibcodes-in-urls to |bibcode=

Replying here, because a) it's kind of redundant with much of what's already been said over there, and b) I want that thread to archive, so Tony1's proposal to reopen the discussion cleanly in a new thread, will proceed unhindered. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼ 01:08, 28 December 2016 (UTC)
SMcCandlish - the issue I see is that the new language that was added to the MOS might incorrectly suggest that "optional styles" only means "styles where the MOS lays out options", rather than its longstanding meaning of "all reasonable styles not prohibited by the MOS, regardless whether they are explicitly mentioned". The longstanding behavioral principle from MOSRETAIN, CITEVAR, ENGVAR, etc. is to encourage standardization on things required by guidelines and encourage stability on things not covered by them. In any case, it seems from the conversation that there's no positive consensus for the addition of the words "under the Manual of Style" without some additional qualification to continue encouraging stability in matters not mentioned by the MOS. What language would you propose? — Carl (
CBM ·
talk) 12:17, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
I don't have any issue with the idea of clarifying (without altering) the "acceptable"-related material in question, and already (in the same subsection, I think) specifically suggested moving the don't-editwar-over-style material (with its ArbCom footnote) to be in front of the "acceptable under MoS" material, and linking them with "In particular," then changing the end of the latter to say "without consensus" rather than "without good reason" (the "good reason" part actually pertains to what ArbCom said, not how style should be changed when it should). But that entire meta-thread has turned into a sprawling mess that will not achieve consensus on anything. I will re-raise, in Tony1's clean-slated discussion, my suggestion and will include exact draft language, if someone doesn't beat me to it. The rest of the material below is kind of supplementary.
Material added over a year and half ago, that has been stable the entire time without interpretational conflicts, and was only objected to by a party who has an long-standing anti-centralization mission against MoS itself (i.e., style should be determined at the article-by-article level), is not "new language that was added to MoS"; it's part of MoS, being deleted without consensus. Removing it and reverting its restoration pending a clear consensus for removal is against our status quo ante standard operating procedure when it comes to content disputes.
Moving on: How MoS actually works is that we don't have a rule about something unless people keep fighting about it. A rule is introduced to stop the fighting (ideally, it's one based on what academic style guides are doing, but they don't always agree, in which case something arbitrary is necessarily chosen, often based on which of the formal-English styles are most commonly found in RS). I agree that stability is encouraged with regard to style matters not covered in the guidelines; this is why ArbCom issued warnings against style-warring, and why MoS already has wording to the same effect.
What is not going to fly is someone editwarring into MoS some kind of "any style I personally think is acceptable can never be changed at my articles" loophole, which appears to be the intent of several parties involved. It's an attempt to migrate essentially the same rule from WP:CITEVAR, which was PoV-forked from ENGVAR and DATEVAR, to permit made-up bullshit. This terrible misinterpretation has been strongly defended by several parties at WT:CITE, and I fear the matter will not be resolved without taking it to ArbCom, who will surely not sustain this "I can fight forever to keep anyone from replacing my personal, wholly-invented citation 'style' no else can follow" misinterpretation. (It actually might be resolvable with a WP:VPP RfC.) In the interim, it would be disastrous to permit this territorial idiosyncrasy nonsense to spread to the other 'VAR guidelines. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼ 01:08, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

There are some CHECKWIKI fixes that I think nobody would be likely to complain about, such as this one.
On the other hand, some really do seem cosmetic, such as [8]. The description for that one even says "MediaWiki has no problem with this". I have written parsers many times, both using regular expressions and using more complicated algorithms, and removing/skipping/ignoring white space is one of the easiest issues to deal with. Moreover, a parser would have to skip spaces anyway, because it's unlikely the bot would have fixed all the instances. So this seems to be a fix in search of a problem, instead of a problem in search of a fix. It is based on a misunderstanding of what is hard about writing a parser.
I am sure it would be possible to go through the list of CHECKWIKI items, and rather than asking "can AWB do this", ask "does this actually cause problems", and only fix the ones that actually cause problems. — Carl ( CBM · talk) 12:52, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

The edit is done per WP:REFPUNCT i.e. the Holy Manual of Style that everyone has to follow. -- Magioladitis ( talk) 00:02, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
This is not a test. I am fixing stuff per the Manual of Style. The BOTTASK will, if approved, have more things caught and it will save me lots of hours per day. Since you have worked with AWB yourself. You know how this goes. I open a tab to reply I keep pressing Save on the AWB window and I return back to save the page here. Telling its not supervised when I replied to you within seconds it's a mistake. Today I am in in full frustration exactly because I spent all this time saving edits in AWB. If you found ANY mistake please report it. Just report that I edit it makes no real sense. Also note that I changed the edit summary immediately after you reported that the edit was unclear. But ofourse the edit was not unclear to you because you are an experienced editor and you also read very well the pages in your watchist. And this is the big question: You should be more than happy with the edits then. Because, at least in your case, no vandalism can hide behind any "trivial" or "non-trivial" edit because you actually check the pages in our watchlist (and I really like this). Why do you complain exactly then? -- Magioladitis ( talk) 00:07, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
Some tasks may be done manually but ofcourse it's easier to do by bot. The problem here is that you obviously disagree with the edit itself and not that it was t done by a future bot. It's clear because at the same time you oppose the bot tasks and you ante them to be done without general fixes i.e. in some cases they can't be done. -- Magioladitis ( talk) 00:10, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
On the redirects: See that I did a lot of effort to reduce them and I am underway to propose an alternative way to treat these templates. It's not my fault. I learned to leave with it because I can't deal with it right now. In the future there will be no redirect bypasssing because AWB will recognise all redirects. -- Magioladitis ( talk) 00:17, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
The only reason I want to run the bot with no general fixes is that in bot mode there is the chance that the actual fix is not done. I doubt I failed from my main account. I hear your reports about my skip checks and my edit summaries. You recognise the fact that many of the things you reported were eventually fixed.Recall that the ArbCom started 1 or days after 2 major problems were fixed (ref reoreding and whitespace between subheaders) and 1 or 2 days after I added more details to my edit summaries. -- Magioladitis ( talk) 00:20, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
I know that you are of the most hard-code "if it is not broken don't fix it" persons I ever met and I appreciate your reports even if sometimes I think you are little too hard with me. It's past my bed time. Sure I type fast and sometimes I also like to impress by having multiple tabs and pressing save at the same time. Not even with AWB sometimes. But working with Wikipedia should also be fun sometimes. We should be having good time whle contribuing. Anyway... -- Magioladitis ( talk) 00:26, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

Should we just undo all the other useless edits the other users had made in our area? We told them to make new accounts (if they wish) to prevent any more ludicrous actions like these. We're very sorry, by the way. We really hope this doesn't happen again in the future... 96.246.193.252 ( talk) 00:38, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for the information about chess. So is chess determined or not? Once we have a clear answer to that question, can we add that to Determinacy? The article talks about both Tic-Tac-Toe and chess. But it dances around the issue, never giving a clear answer as to whether those games are determined or not. But if this branch of mathematics doesn't address games that can end in draws, it should say so in the introduction I think. Thanks LithiumFlash ( talk) 14:19, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi,
I noticed that you removed the proof of the halting problem from the uncomputability of kolmogorov complexity. The reason given in the edit message was:
The Kolmogorov complexity argument is somewhat circular; unprovability of complexity is usually shown by reducing the Halting problem to that problem
However this does not seem true to me - the kolmogorov complexity#Basic_results page's main proof of it doesn't use the halting problem at all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.208.172.118 ( talk) 22:15, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

I'd like a second opinion, given that you were the contributor that originally brought this up.
The maintainer of WPCleaner feels understandably that editors are expected to exercise common sense. However, I disagree and made some suggestions on the guithub issue linked which I felt were reasonable technical measures to prevent similar issues arising in the future, which were for the moment considered by the maintainer to be unworkable.
The issue of 'unapproved' bot-like behavior may be resolved, but the technical measures (or lack) that caused it to become an issue, have not to my post-incident satisfaction necessarily been resolved. Yes editors are expected to exercise common sense, and read warnings in tools, but how many other enthusiastic contributors really do that?
If the technical measures can't be implemented in the tool can they be implemented on Wikipedia? ShakespeareFan00 ( talk) 11:17, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

"Second-order logic also includes quantification over sets and functions" — really? I was under the impression that what it actually quantifies are predicates, and that those can be used to represent sets or functions, rather than allowing sets or functions themselves. See e.g. Monadic second-order logic, which talks (sloppily) about quantifying over sets in the lead, but later clarifies that this is really over unary predicates. — David Eppstein ( talk) 17:22, 3 November 2017 (UTC)

Hello, CBM. Voting in the 2017 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23.59 on Sunday, 10 December. All users who registered an account before Saturday, 28 October 2017, made at least 150 mainspace edits before Wednesday, 1 November 2017 and are not currently blocked are eligible to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
If you wish to participate in the 2017 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 18:42, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
@ Sławomir Biały and CBM: How long do you two want to argue circularly about this? At some point it has to become clear that nothing, anywhere, is "banning" use of colons for indentation. All that's happening is that 3 MoS pages (including the main one) have long pointed out more accessible ways to indent, which people are free to use. Why on earth you're generating multi-page WP:DRAMA piles about this is unclear, but it badly needs to wind down. If you think it's going to win hearts and minds for you to go to WT:ACCESS and basically tell everyone who cares about accessibility that they can go soak their heads since [ta-daa!] you have a canvassed RfC full of off-topic commentary about maths markup, I really think you need to take a step back. This has no effect of any kind on math markup; and indentation methods and their accessibility are entirely outside the scope of both MOS:MATH (which is subordinate to WP:MOS) and WP:MATH.
Can you please find something more productive to do than territorially beat your chests over something that is of no concern to math presentation? No one is telling you what markup you can use. But you don't get to prevent everyone finding out that other markup is available that doesn't make blind people's experience here awful for no reason other than your personal convenience. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ >ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ< 18:22, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
PS: I realize we've all gotten a bit testy over this. I'd like to de-escalate, and I just retracted something I said over at WT:MOSMATH as unnecessarily hyperbolic. Please consider whether some of your own stance-taking is overly dramatized. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ >ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ< 23:14, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
I have seen the message "The article data analytics redirects to this article, so the term "data analytics" should appear in the lede in bold somewhere" in the talk page of the data analysis article, but there's no evidence that these terms are used interchangeably by the majority of the people. Some people claim that data analytics is a sub-field of data analysis, so they would not be synonyms. Unless you provided a citation, I would not include "data analytics" as a synonym of "data analysis".
Hello,
There will be some changes to the way wikitext is parsed during the next few weeks. It will affect all namespaces. You can see a list of pages that may display incorrectly at Special:LintErrors. Since most of the easy problems have already been solved at the English Wikipedia, I am specifically contacting tech-savvy editors such as yourself with this one-time message, in the hope that you will be able to investigate the remaining high-priority pages during the next month.
There are approximately 10,000 articles (and many more non-article pages) with high-priority errors. The most important ones are the articles with misnested tags and table problems. Some of these involve templates, such as infoboxes, or the way the template is used in the article. In some cases, the "error" is a minor, unimportant difference in the visual appearance. In other cases, the results are undesirable. You can see a before-and-after comparison of any article by adding ?action=parsermigration-edit to the end of a link, like this: /info/en/?search=Arthur_Foss?action=parsermigration-edit (which shows a difference in how {{ infobox ship}} is parsed).
If you are interested in helping with this project, please see Wikipedia:Linter. There are also some basic instructions (and links to even more information) at https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-ambassadors/2018-April/001836.html You can also leave a note at WT:Linter if you have questions.

Re the article, I want to point you to the fact that my "boldness" consisted in re-establishing a "longstanding" status before a chain of disputed edits, which lacked any form of consensus on the TP. This re-established status refers to line in a way (as explicitly stated!) that is not to my taste ("quantity along a line"). I am convinced that my edit doing this was according to the rules, and I just additionally expressed my knowledge of me being very bold, given the reputation of the contributors.
Re the TP, if you check my reply to Trovatore's claim of "... a real number ... can represent ... along the real line"
(in variants) not being circular, you will find that I have no problems with the intuitive meaning of "line", but ferociously oppose to "real line"
(twice emphasis of "real" mine). Simply looking up
real line confirms my position.
I did not want to deal at the TP of Real number with these circumstances, which I perceive as unfounded criticizing my behavior, especially since I can agree to the new development started by D.Lazard, but factually I would like to know, where you see my wrong doings and lack of understanding.

Can User:VeblenBot/Unreferenced2 and [[]User:VeblenBot/Unreferenced] be deleted? It looks like they haven't been updated in over 13 years. -- Beland ( talk) 00:36, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi CBM and talk page watchers,
Is https://veblenbot.toolforge.org/ still used by anyone for anything? I see the bot hasn't edited since 2016, so if it is unused, I'd like to archive the veblenbot tool on Toolforge (formerly Tool Labs). Hope you're doing well, thanks. Legoktm ( talk) 06:19, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
