Hello Ganesh, a few articles near the end of the new run of Trochidae stubs had 7 line spaces between the lede and the rest of the article. This oddity started at Sericominolia vernicosa and ran for the last 6 ones, but I already fixed the final 3 by hand. I left the first 3 unaltered so you could see it fresh.
Also, a few of the first species stubs, Omphalomargarites sagamiensis, Cantharidoscops clausus, and Cantharidoscops frigidus failed to get an italic title. There may be others without italic title because I did not yet check any stubs between Cantharidus sanguineus and Pseudominolia gradata.
Thanks, Invertzoo ( talk) 16:31, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
P.S. I see that Stomatella illusa also has the 7 line spaces after the lede. I don't know if this is true of others here and there, but I suppose it probably is. Invertzoo ( talk) 14:16, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
P.P.S. I also see that Pseudostomatella cycloradiata has no italic title, plus strangely the species name is written with the genus name twice, on two different lines in the taxobox. Invertzoo ( talk) 14:19, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
Hi Ganeshk,
Sorry to be a bit slow on this, but I still don't quite understand the difference between these licences. As a photographer I'm used to giving away my images for non-commercial purposes, but not sure what someone is allowed to do if I leave off the NC. Does this mean, for instance, that someone can take my image from Commons and incorporate it in his book app or ebook without my permission, then sell his product for a profit? Surely this is at odds with Wikipedia's ethos of being free? I understand that he is obliged to attribute and that derivatives may be made from my image.

Hi, can you have a look at the page. The transclusion is currently malfunctioning. -- Anbu121 ( talk me) 08:27, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
Gansehk, I found you on the bot request page. Can you have a look at Wikipedia:Bot requests#Infobox settlement - data analysis. Around 330 000 articles seem to use this template. It would be nice to analyse the data and detect inconsistency. The first field that comes to my mind is the field settlement_type. If the type contains a country specific link, one could also check whether subdivisions are filled correctly, for India, a taluka page should have a district listed. And the state should be the same for all talukas that have this district. NVanMinh ( talk) 07:30, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
Many thanks for the signpost! Sounds easy, but I'm sure it's not! I'll try and get my head round it in the next few days. If I fail, I'll take you up on your kind offer! Llywelyn2000 ( talk) 23:39, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
You alone responded to my Bot request, and in the last two days I've managed to set up a Bot and completed one of the three requests - thanks to you! Can I move on to my second request: how can I copy existing English langauge Infoboxes (e.g. Infobox UK place) from en to cy? Many thanks, Llywelyn2000 ( talk) 07:18, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi. I've left another message here. Thanks! Llywelyn2000 ( talk) 10:24, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
As part of this set of edits, you changed:
to the following, if I strip out the insertion of "Acacia":
However, these don't have the same behaviour. Since the first parameter to {{ Taxobox/taxon}} now always has a value, your code is equivalent to:
so (a) the invocation of {{ Taxobox/taxon}} is redundant (b) the anonymous first parameter to {{ Automatic taxobox}} can't be used, so {{Automatic taxobox|Acer}} doesn't work, whereas it used to. I don't believe that the form with an unnamed parameter is ever used (or desirable), so this change doesn't matter. BUT the insertion of {{PAGENAME}} here is wrong; {{ Taxobox/taxon}} checks whether the raw page name is correct and tries {{ PAGENAMEBASE}} if not, which will strip off bits of the page name like " (plant)" or " (genus)" put there to disambiguate. Can you please restore at least this part of the original logic? What's needed (ignoring Acacia) is:
Peter coxhead ( talk) 15:27, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
The recent change to remove PAGENAME from parameter "taxon" (in Template:Automatic_taxobox) seems to have re-broken the template:
| parent = {{Taxobox/taxon|{{{taxon|<noinclude>Acacia
</noinclude><includeonly>{{PAGENAME}}</includeonly>|}}}|{{{1|}}} }}<!--
was changed to this:
| parent = {{Taxobox/taxon|{{{taxon|<noinclude>Acacia</noinclude>}}}|{{{1|}}} }}<!--
That change has caused over 2,300 articles to exceed the expansion depth, and clutter the tracking category:
The resulting clutter causes the category to be almost unusable for other Wikipedians, who must wade past those 2,300 Automatic_taxobox articles to check for expansion-depth problems in other articles. The clutter is totally debilitating, as if an automobile dashboard lit up with 2,900 vehicle-failure lights, and the owner of the car must sift through all the clutter to determine which of those 2,900 warning lights indicate serious problems, and which are merely "normal errors" among those 2,900. Most people cannot work under such conditions. The choice is clear: Template:Automatic_taxobox must not ruin a tracking category, by adding massive clutter, to impact the other 9,500 Wikipedians who edit many articles each month for train routes, towns, historic sites, WikiProject banners, etc. If Template:Automatic_taxobox cannot be used within system limits, then it should not be used at all. Again, the choice is absolutely clear: this is not Wiki-Automatic_taxobox-pedia, and the integrity of the entire system must be preserved, rather than promote the use of broken templates which function beyond system limits, to the detriment of other users. We cannot have templates which clutter a vital error-tracking category with thousands of entries, and obscure critical problems lost in an ocean of errant template operations. Since this problem has persisted for years, then weeks of future analysis will be needed to find some better solutions. - Wikid77 ( talk) 13:42, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

Hello Ganesh, I have not yet really looked at the latest batch of new bot stubs, but I wanted to point out that for Acremodontina varicosa there are a whole bunch of spaces after the intro sentence and before the references section, plus the bot did not put the project template on the talk page.

Hi Ganesh. Can you take a look at the last two inputs I made on my Talk page please. The problem is with what follows the pipe. Any text following a pipe was not copied into the text box. This meant that e.g. "| unitary_england = Bedford" was changed / copied by AWB to the text file as: "| unitary_england = [[Bedford (borough)". See here. Any ideas, please?

Post mortem: the problem was with the references: a couple of the URLs had a tilde! So I changed the module so that I had no references; then it worked! Now I have another small problem: I'm trying to copy all Town Infoboxes from en to cy. The module worked fine and produced a textfile "Infodata" with around 200 Welsh towns (in English). I then spent 5 hours translating these towns into Welsh (eg Monmouth = Trefynwy). However I must have deleted or added a tilde somewhere along the line! AWB now tells me that the column header needs to match the number of columns. Can I force it to work on the correct towns only, and leave out the town I messed up? Or can CSV Loader not point out which field has actually been messed up so that I can Skip it? Sorry bothering you again with such trivial matters. Diolch.

Hi Ganesh. I'm looking at creating a very simple spellchecker in Welsh with more than just a handful of words. As a starter I have set up [Defnyddiwr:Llywelyn2000/Anthemau cenedlaethol this page] to try out, and would like to use the Find / Replace to translate from English to Welsh ie {{Flag|Argentina}} to {{Flag|Yr Ariannin}}. I have a CSV file with two fields: the English country names and the Welsh words. Is there a way of getting AWB to see and use this CSV file? Many thanks.

Hi Ganeshk. I would like to add a few sentences using variable data to produce that sentence. That has been done successfully but I can only apend or prepend this info into the article. Can I place the text after the first paragraph or let's say at the end of the existing article text? Or is this a question for AWB? Many thanks. Llywelyn2000 ( talk) 13:26, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi Ganesh. I just found out today that a couple of months ago the large superfamily Rissooidea has been split into the superfamily Rissooidea s.s. and the new superfamily Truncatelloidea, containing most of the families previously in Rissooidea.
This involves creating the article about the new superfamily and a lot of changing on the level of families, genera and species with changing in the taxobox (or speciesbox) and in the lead of "Rissooidea" into "Truncatelloidea". I suppose the Ganeshbot is best suited for this, because manually this would be a tedious work and involve a lot of my precious time. At the same time, all the missing articles could also be created.
I also draw your attention to my previous post on your talk page about the Seguenzioidea.
I hope you can find the time to do all this. Thanks. JoJan ( talk) 14:37, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
Hi, Ganesh. Checking the family Seguenziidae, I've noted that the genera Basilissa (gastropod) (and synonyms), Thelyssa and Rotellenzia have been overlooked by the Ganeshbot. Idem for a number of species in Ancistrobasis, Basilissopsis, Calliobasis, Fluxinella, Carenzia, Hadroconus, Halystina, Quinnia, Seguenzia and Seguenziopsis JoJan ( talk) 13:47, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

The template Template:Taxonomy/Nesta has a link to an disambiguation page with "Nesta". Due to the complex programming, I am unable to solve it. Can you take care of that soon? Thanks! The Banner talk 16:15, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi, Ganesh. Can you fix the taxobox of Scissurella mantelli ? Thanks. JoJan ( talk) 12:44, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
Could I have 2 mins of your time? As I’ll be working on some other projects for Wikimedia Germany as well from now on the time I can spend on Wikidata will be reduced. This means I’ll have to figure out what is useful to spend time on. If you’re reading this could you let me know for example on this discussion page? Also if you have ideas how to improve the weekly summaries please post them. -- Lydia Pintscher (WMDE) ( talk)

Hi Ganesh. I'm looking at creating a very simple spellchecker in Welsh with more than just a handful of words. As a starter I have set up [Defnyddiwr:Llywelyn2000/Anthemau cenedlaethol this page] to try out, and would like to use the Find / Replace to translate from English to Welsh ie {{Flag|Argentina}} to {{Flag|Yr Ariannin}}. I have a CSV file with two fields: the English country names and the Welsh words. Is there a way of getting AWB to see and use this CSV file? Many thanks.

Hi Ganeshk. I would like to add a few sentences using variable data to produce that sentence. That has been done successfully but I can only apend or prepend this info into the article. Can I place the text after the first paragraph or let's say at the end of the existing article text? Or is this a question for AWB? Many thanks. Llywelyn2000 ( talk) 13:26, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

So Ganesh, Did you mean that FoCuS already has a Commons account (?) or did you mean that he can use his Wikipedia account to work on Commons? I could not find a Commons account in his name, unless he used a different one there...? Invertzoo ( talk) 13:36, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
Hi Ganesh. I just found out today that a couple of months ago the large superfamily Rissooidea has been split into the superfamily Rissooidea s.s. and the new superfamily Truncatelloidea, containing most of the families previously in Rissooidea.
This involves creating the article about the new superfamily and a lot of changing on the level of families, genera and species with changing in the taxobox (or speciesbox) and in the lead of "Rissooidea" into "Truncatelloidea". I suppose the Ganeshbot is best suited for this, because manually this would be a tedious work and involve a lot of my precious time. At the same time, all the missing articles could also be created.
I also draw your attention to my previous post on your talk page about the Seguenzioidea.
I hope you can find the time to do all this. Thanks. JoJan ( talk) 14:37, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
Hi, Ganesh. Checking the family Seguenziidae, I've noted that the genera Basilissa (gastropod) (and synonyms), Thelyssa and Rotellenzia have been overlooked by the Ganeshbot. Idem for a number of species in Ancistrobasis, Basilissopsis, Calliobasis, Fluxinella, Carenzia, Hadroconus, Halystina, Quinnia, Seguenzia and Seguenziopsis JoJan ( talk) 13:47, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
Hi. I've just uploaded the picture on Wikimedia Commons. Thanks for the help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ajesh.ashok ( talk • contribs) 11:39, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
I've just finishing checking the new family Rissoinidae (upgraded from subfamily Rissoininae). The Ganeshbot can now add all the missing articles. Can you also change the Rissoidae-stub template into Rissoinidae-stub for all the articles ? Thanks. JoJan ( talk) 15:42, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
Thank you so much. Kind of you. :) Spread the music so that the album reaches more people. You know how the independent music scene is in South India. Only when we make people listen, they'll know :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ajesh.ashok ( talk • contribs) 07:11, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
