Hi Certes
Please will you work with me to draft an RFC on the criteria for creating/deleting/retaining portals?
I have written a very rough first draft at User:BrownHairedGirl/Draft RFC on Portal criteria, just to kick things off.
At User talk:BrownHairedGirl/Draft RFC on Portal criteria#Can we draft a joint proposal I set out why I think it would be helpful if a small group of editors of differing views worked together to draft an RFC which could establish a broad community consensus on which portals should exist and which should not. This is one of 4 invites, through which I hope to establish group of 5 editors to collaborate on ths one task.
Please can you reply at User talk:BrownHairedGirl/Draft RFC on Portal criteria#Can we draft a joint proposal, so that others can see your response?

I've noticed your work disambiguating taxon authorities. I just came across List of taxonomic authorities named Smith, which has some incoming links, and I know I've seen some redirects along the lines of Smith (taxonomic authority) that have pointed to a particular person (perhaps not an ambiguous link, but a poor way to link).

@ Narky Blert (or any other experts stallking this thread): Most links I fixed in this exercise are from molluscs. I've gone through malacologists' surnames where an unrelated article lives at the base name and fixed links to bands, drinks, etc. I failed to resolve a few cases that might benefit from your expertise. Some are obviously not malacologists but happen to share a surname with one.
It may well be that these people are not notable and should simply be unlinked. Certes ( talk) 00:18, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for the edit to
ferrous. Actually there was not much contents copied from
ferrous to
iron(II) (and much of the contents in
ferrous was my contribution anyway).
Asfor the category fix--ugh! Why did people choose to use those obscure roman numeral Unicode characters, instead of simple ascii? Everywhere, absolutely everywhere -- including on Wikipedia articles and titles -- the "II" is two separate letter "I"s. Even the Ancient Romans would have typed them that way...
Yet another "nerdy" feature that only makes Wikipedia more complicated to edit. Could we convince the Keepers of Categories to create redirects from those names to plain ascii names, so that we can use the latter?

Good day!
May I ask your permission to change existing picture of Mr. Benjamin M. Bitanga. I have his latest picture, wearing tuxedo and in a corporate setup background.
Thanks for fixing my errors (among oh so many others) in linking to The Daily Telegraph rather than The Daily Telegraph (Sydney). I am hoping you may be able to help me fix a another issue or 2.
In my case the error arose from copy the wikipedia citation from Trove eg see details tab of this article - as you would know from the disambiguation page there are half a dozen or so different Australian papers with similar names, all of which Trove currently point to the British paper. I will see if we can get Trove to change the links. It does prompt me to consider another newspaper with similar issues: The Australian (disambiguation). Fortunately there is no overlap in publication years - the current paper has been published since 1964, while the colonial paper was published in 1824-1848. There were a couple of Western Australian newspapers from the early 1900s, but I would be surprised if anyone was referring to those.
Do you know if it is possible, whether using WP:JWB or something else, to easily disambiguate links to The Australian based on the date of publication ?
The second question arises from that thought bubble but is somewhat more obscure. There are 2240 wikipedia articles on members of the NSW parliament. The Parliament has published useful biographical details on all of them. In the usual way they have changed the url, causing link rot which may or may not be linked to an archive url. Fortunately the new url contains an ID number. I have created Template:cite NSW Parliament which is a simple CS1 specific-source template. The obvious advantage of the template is that if they change the url, it is easy enough to come up with a way to fix the links. While it seems to me to work well, manually going through all 2240 articles is a huge endeavour. What I am hoping is that you can point me in the direction of a way to automate the process of updating the urls to the template & what that would take.
Thanks again. Find bruce ( talk) 02:12, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
Joe Scribbler wrote for The Australian in 1826but should pick up most errors in references including Trove. From there it's an easy step to fix the links with JWB (or AWB, which has more functions but won't run on my PC).
but I think we have enough info in the citations to tell them apart, e.g.
shows the location is different for the two newspapers and clearly the Tasmania ones are the Hobart Tribune and the Victoria ones are the Melbourne Tribune. So we should be able to use the location to disambiguate between the citations, provided we don't have two newspapers of the same name in the same state. If there are two newspapers with the same title in the same state, most likely they did not co-exist and that we could disambiguate them by date. So I think if we know we have a newspaper that needs to be disambiguated, then we can probably seek out and fix them in AWB (famous last words). I'm doing some other AWB work at the moment, but shortly I will experiment. Kerry ( talk) 05:44, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
(\{\{cite news \|url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article[^}]*newspaper=)\[\[Tribune\]\]([^}]*location=Tasmania, Australia)
with this replacement :
$1[[Tribune (Hobart)]]$2
and the rule for the Melbourne Tribune follows the same pattern (apart from Tasmania/Victoria, Hobart/Melbourne)
So it's quite viable to develop a series of AWB scripts to disambiguate the Trove newspaper citations, given they do have a very regular (in both senses of that word) structure. Kerry ( talk) 07:15, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
@ Find bruce and Kerry Raymond: I've found a method for discovering and fixing more wrong links but it's labour intensive and may need help from someone with a knowledge of Australian newspaper history. I'm working through the list at https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/?q=# picking out by eye the titles which clash with Wikipedia articles on another topic, and searching for articles which may need attention. As an example, the hits beginning with A are:
plus several false alarms such as Alfred and Arrow which turned out not to have any bad links. As well as fixing existing links, this should produce a mapping of newspaper titles to Wikipedia articles which Trove might import in its next release.
Does that sound like a useful line to pursue? Certes ( talk) 20:16, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
Could the problem be that some Trove archives are simply not associated with a Wikipedia page, and in this case the Trove title is used as a Wikipedia title? For example, https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/title/10 is linked to The Mercury (Hobart) so that article gets linked correctly, but https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/title/1347 has no Wikipedia link so perhaps the title The Daily Telegraph is used for linking, and it happens to hit an article on a different topic. Certes ( talk) 10:39, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
@ Find bruce and Kerry Raymond: Do we want to take this further or shall I just tidy up the cases I've found? If we want to do more then I have two lists:
I think the next step would be to get Trove's opinion of which Trove IDs correspond to which Wikipedia article. I could write a simple program to screen-scrape the data but it would mean loading 1447 Trove pages. Even if done slowly, that might upset our friends at Trove (or even get my IP blocked). Trove may be able to supply the information in one simple file but I don't think that's online. Then we could correlate everything by Trove ID, sort out any discrepancies and fill some gaps. Alternatively, perhaps we just want to tidy up Wikipedia's bad links, which at a guess might be 500 bad links for 50 different papers, and call it a day. Any thoughts? Certes ( talk) 13:51, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
@ Find bruce and Kerry Raymond: I've worked through Trove's list of titles checking suspicous looking titles. For example, I looked at Advertiser but not Williamstown Advertiser which is unlikely to be an article on the wrong topic. I also skipped links to disambiguation pages, as we already have good procedures for finding and fixing these as they arise. (I did check The Telegraph, which subsequently changed from a SIA to a dab.) I've fixed the links which proved to be wrong. Here's a table of changes.
I think I've done all I can for now. Trove may be interested in adding the missing links above to their title pages. I would be happy to help reconcile the mapping from Trove to enwiki articles if we can get a list of Trove's links to Wikipedia or confirmation that it's ok to screen-scrape such a list from their website.

Thanks for you're fixing of incoming links, I see you just recently fixed quite a few Reading links for Berkshire among the many others you've fixed. How many bad links can you find for Kettering and Mansfield? I fixed 1 for Kettering last year but I only did that by going to the what links here and searching for "Ohio" in the title however presumably JWB allows you to find the links with other text too, that is to say links to Kettering that also have "Ohio" on the page somewhere. I think that the town in Northamptonshire is primary for the name since the place in Ohio is merely a suburb and the normal practices of including the state is probably enough. However I don't think that's the case with Mansfield since there are a number of other large places with that name. Crouch, Swale ( talk) 12:35, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

I do not think that Rivers should redirect to River. I believe that Rivers should redirect to Rivers (disambiguation) or simply replace it. Here are my reasons:
Hi, Certes. You recently turned three set index articles into disambiguation pages: Daily Journal, Daily Post, and Daily Record. SIAs tend to look like dabs, but they are quite different in the way they are treated; SIAs are actually articles, while dabs (as you know) are navigation guides. Their differences are elucidated at WP:SETNOTDAB. I will be reverting these three pages to their SIA version, and just wanted you to know why. Cheers! — Gorthian ( talk) 03:55, 30 June 2019 (UTC)
Daily Post is a popular name for newspapersor add a hatnote "For similarly named newspapers, see Daily Post, just as I could – adding
(disambiguation)– if it were a dab. But 99% of wikilinks aren't like that; they are saying that someone worked for a particular Daily Post or citing the Daily Record (Scotland) as a reference, like this one which appeared a few minutes ago. Certes ( talk) 12:49, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
