I've undone the change you made to the link that you changed in the
In The Nightside Eclipse page.
The problem is that, the link, as you had changed it:
/info/en/?search=Gustave_Dor%C3%A9#mediaviewer.2FFile:Gustave_Dore_-_Death_on_the_Pale_Horse_resized.png
it opens Gustave Doré's page,
instead of the "Death on a Pale Horse (Revelation)" image.
I think that the only way for the link to work is to keep it as an external link (as I had it)
/info/en/?search=Gustave_Dor%C3%A9#mediaviewer/File:Gustave_Dore_-_Death_on_the_Pale_Horse_resized.png
PS. Together with this page I had also added that link to the Emperor (EP) page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BlueSpiderMan ( talk • contribs) 12:38, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

Magioladitis You've changed the link into
/info/en/?search=File:Gustave_Dore_-_Death_on_the_Pale_Horse_resized.png
This way the pic is opened covering only a part of the screen,
while my link was opening filling all the page, and you could even navigate to the other images of the gallery too.
I still prefer my link, but if it's not by Wikipedia's rules to use a wikipedia link as external, then so be it. --

Hi. You might want to review this edit, in which you tried to change an external link to the wiki into an internal wikilink, but left it a redlink by including an extraneous comma, and seem to have overlooked that it was a Wikipedia article being used as a reference, so it should have been deleted altogether.

Hi Magioladitis. I would like to ask you for help. There is an Shi'i Iranian user, name BoogaLouie who has done many editing with bad intentions and tendentious for a prolonged period and structured manner on articles relating to Sunni and Saudi arabia.

Magioladitis: Thanks for stopping by on the family support page, though the Association for Retarded Citizens-US was renamed the Arc almost two decades ago!! While I study organizations in family support and associations, family support is a concept, policy and practice which is broader than the family groups (known in other fields as targeted secondary clients); families originated services such as non-professional respite (family group funding), and are often reluctant to even move to professional child care (public administration funding), and often are unfamiliar with family support as a long term service for deinstitutionalized populations (with original family support groups in Syracuse, New York). Current is "family-directed" services which still has not clarified who in the family yet from the 1980s (e.g., mother usually), and also requests "behaviorism" versus functional community (jobs,education).

Isn't All Souls' Day a Christian holy day? Why then did Yobot remove from the article about it the indication that it belongs under Category:Christian festivals and holy days ?

Yobot has made the same change on All Saints' Day and, for all I know, many more articles on Christian festivals and holy days.

Hello, Magioladitis! I'm wondering if you could help resolve an issue at Talk:Azerbaijan#Language and the subsequent section. My interest in editing is to correct errors in English syntax, verb tenses, verb forms, word usage, spelling, capitalization, and punctuation. I also notice when something is not clear or not worded well, and I try to fix it. If I can't, I ask other editors for help. I was simply trying to improve the language section of Azerbaijan#Language, so I posted a comment. Then an editor named Mursel suggested an alternate wording. In the meantime, a new editor named "Cyber-Policeman" (strange user name) made a change to the article, kind of relating to the issue being discussed on the talk page. Then Alessandro57 reverted, urging him to join the discussion. C-P put the info back in. I left a note with a link to WP:3RR on C-P's talk page. Then I saw C-P had left a note in a separate section regarding a map, but responding to Mursel. I am getting the feeling that this is getting all tied up with politics and nationalist feelings, and my original concern has gone by the wayside somewhat. I don't want to get involved in the argument. Can you help resolve this? CorinneSD ( talk) 01:00, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
Hi Magioladitis,
I sent a comment to CorinneSD who communicated with me and you regarding some edits on Azerbaijan (country, not Iran's province) site.
I'm restating the issue here with small changes. The problem is very simple – it is about Azerbaijan map. The very strange thing is that all other countries with uncontrolled regions are shown in dark green/light green colors (see Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine). Azerbaijan had the same type of map until this July 14. Then it was changed to one color. What is the reason for this exception? Wiki administrators should have reverted the map change on July 14 back to dark green/light green colors as it used to be for some time, and the problem would have been avoided altogether.
Regards,

I just finished reading the article on Thessaly and made a number of minor edits to correct errors in syntax and word usage, and to improve the flow of sentences and make the sentences more concise. I have a few questions about the article that I thought you might be able to answer. Several are regarding the section Thessaly#Avar invasion of the Byzantine Empire.
1) In the first paragraph, the events are presented in an order that seems a little confusing. I don't know the history that well, so I thought perhaps someone else could work on it.
2) Also, in the first sentence of that paragraph, "Byzantine" is in quotation marks. That suggests that it wasn't really "Byzantine". I'm wondering whether those quotation marks are necessary.
3) In the middle of the second paragraph is a sentence that is really unclear:
4) In the middle of the first paragraph in the section Thessaly#Late Medieval and Ottoman Thessaly is the following sentence:

If you want send notification through the ping, you have to sign your post at the same time. If you have entered wrong template for the ping and later you would correct it, still it won't send any notification because you hadn't signed at the time you added the ping. So you will need to sign again. Neither linking to other's comment will send any ping. As for dougweller, I notified him [15] I really avoid pinging people on my messages, even if I want to I won't because next one will deem it as canvassing. If I have pinged I will specifically mention or I would notify them that why I have pinged.

Hi! I saw on one of the pages I watch that you're doing a lot of NBSP-elimination as part of a cleanup, following WP:NBSP. That's cool, but in some of those situations I think it's good (and in accordance with the Manual of Style) for there to be a non-break there, it just shouldn't be done with a hard-to-edit normal character. Would you mind taking extra care to see whether you aren't undoing a useful nbsp, and instead of replacing it with a soft space convert it to one of the alternatives like or {{ nbsp}} or something? Metadox ( talk) 19:30, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
or {{nbsp}}
, so that editors can check on the condition while editing. If you insert the non-breaking-space character code itself, it is indistinguishable from a normal space for editors (that is, without special tools). --
Matthiaspaul (

20:59, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
Why are you replacing hard spaces with normal spaces like you did here? I don't know why WP:NBSP says not to use directly typed hard spaces, but it doesn't say to replace them with normal spaces either. These non-breaking spaces all serve a proper purpose. Whatever problem you are fixing, you are creating a bigger one in the process. Spinning Spark 00:03, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
Spinningspark I asked for approval in WP:BOTREQ. This series of edits is to spot any problems. It is done semi-manually and it's also a call for feedback. Till now, in the vast majority of places the nbsp was completely useless. In some cases it was needed and replaced by its "visible" equivalent. Any feedback is welcome. -- Magioladitis ( talk) 11:41, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
Spinningspark Mozilla bug prevents from copy nbsp characters to perform tests :( -- Magioladitis ( talk) 12:57, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
Spinningspark rev 10325 only replaces exisinting "invisible nbsp" with their visible version. It treats hard spaces exactly as soft spaces. If you are familiar, which I believe you are, with regular expressions, please comment. -- Magioladitis ( talk) 13:58, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
So you restored a normal space between "mod" and "q" right after I had reverted you and explained here that if anything that was the most important place in the expression where it should not break. (I have not looked at your regex yet, this was edit conflicted, but it sounds like a good approach). Spinning Spark 14:03, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

First of all: thanks, AWB is awesome! I am not a native speaker, so please forgive me if I make mistakes.
With AWB you can make a list based on the source "Wiki search (text)" for a single search term. What I would like is a new option that allows you to have more than one search term. If you chose this new option then you should get a commondialog control asking you which file to use (similar to when you set the source to be a textfile). The search terms should be stored in a textfile, separated by newlines. Maybe that requires two separate options, one for UTF-8 and one for ANSI/Windows-1252.
I would really appreciate it if it is possible to add this functionality because I am currently trying to write some software that could be helpful for some AWB users (don't expect much, I am a noob). It is a basic typo generator with a twist, it will get the number of searchresults from the Wikipedia API and if that is >0 it exports the fixes to the FindAndReplace section in default.xml in \appdata\local\autowikibrowser.
Of course I can write an ugly hack by making a separate application that feeds all the search terms into AWB, but it would be much more awesome if AWB would support this functionality.
I hope I explained everything correctly. Thanks again, Poveglia ( talk) 18:21, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
re this edit. I don't know what a "hard space" is, not even when compared to a "normal space", and then invoking an NBSP (that I know) rule in the es.

22:27, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
Metadox, Matthiaspaul, Redrose64, DePiep thank for your comments. My idea was/is the following: Replacing invisible nbsp with normal space enables AWB to add visible nbsp where it is needed. We can expand the cases where visible nbsp is added. I did a limited number of edits to catch attention and get some feedback. Don't hesitate to send me more. It's a work in progress which I did not directly add to AWB's code yet: rev 10323. Thanks! -- Magioladitis ( talk) 23:06, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

Parsers.FixUnicode
) and then add them back as MOS-compliant entities later (in Article.PerformGeneralFixes
) if they are detected as "good" uses of nbsp? In that case I fear that the proper use of nbsp is an editorial judgment call that probably can't be reliably matched by any automated tool. In particular think about this item from
WP:NBSP: "in other places where breaking across lines might be disruptive to the reader, such as…". There's just no set of regexes that can do more good than harm on those cases. In my opinion AWB should implement this feature as a two-sided classifier instead of a one-sided one. In other words, rather than just trying to come up with a bundle of regexes that matches all the "good" uses of nbsp, also create a set that match many of the "bad" uses. Then code AWB to convert known-bad uses of nbsp into normal space characters, known-good uses into entities, and leave can't-reliably-classify uses alone—possibly flagging them for the user to pass judgment, or collecting a dataset of hard cases that you can then use to design better regexes. --

Sorry for misunderstanding re Astrological symbols. I thought you were applying the PUA template to characters that were not PUA characters. In fact they were PUA characters, so you were correct to apply the template, *but* they were originally not PUA characters, and had been corrupted from assigned Unicode characters (e.g. U+1F71A was changed to U+F71A) by this edit. Obviously AWB should not corrupt Unicode characters. Do you have the latest version of AWB? If so, then this should be reported as a serious AWB bug. BabelStone ( talk) 17:29, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi, I recently submitted a page about the "Τροχαδι" which was in Greek and I would like to translate it and put it back up on the website. The instructions said to message you before doing so. Is there anything I should be aware of? Or can I just re-write the text in English and then post it?
P.S Do the references need to be in English? Most of the primary sources are academic books from the late 19th early 20th century that were written in Greek and are not available online so naturally all of the information is in Greek, should I translate these? Or just keep it in the original Greek?

Magioladitis, these edits to FGM ( 22 February; 22 February; and 17 February) violate WP:CITEVAR by unbundling citations and moving references out of sequence. They seem provocative given that I asked you on 15 February to stop changing cite formats elsewhere.
FGM is a featured article. It has gone through a GAN review, an informal peer review, a formal peer review, an FAC review, and two external specialist reviews, so if you want to make changes, including changes to the citation formats, please gain consensus on the talk page first. Thank you, Sarah (SV) (talk) 01:01, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
<p>
tags are not to be used in references like that. It causes accessibility problems with those using screen readers. This is not changing cite formats, this is allowing the blind to actually read the article. Accessibility trumps CITEVAR. Accessibility trumps however you want a page to look. Either remove the <p>
tags or use something like {{
Paragraph break}}.

How to pick up more women... |
Hi Magioladitis! Victuallers and I have developed a proposal for a talk to be presented at Wikimania 2015. It's titled, How to pick up more women... -- as in more women editors and more women's biographies. Examples include the Edit-a-thon blitz during WikiWomen's History Month and the "new articles" work underway by WikiProject Women Writers. The Wikimania talk proposal review process has begun and there's no guarantee that our proposal will be accepted. That's where you come in. Please review it and, if you wish, give us feedback on the submission's talkpage or my talkpage (vs. your talkpage). Ultimately, we hope you add your name to the signup at the bottom of the proposal which signifies you'd be interested in the talk if you were attending it (it does not commit you to attending Wikimania). Thank you! Rosiestep ( talk) 04:09, 25 February 2015 (UTC) |

I take exception to the first sentence. ANOVAs are not models. They are tools used to analyze a variety of models by partitioning sums of squares.

Hi Magioladitis,
I would like to inform you of an issue that is ensuing with a page in the main article namespace. As it becomes more controversial and triggers larger discussion, it should be brought to the attention of administrators and higher-ranked individuals on Wikipedia.
In November 2014, the article "Transhumanist Party" was nominated for deletion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Transhumanist Party. A long discussion about its notability can be viewed at that page, resulting in the decision to replace the page with a redirect to a section of Zoltan Istvan's page, the founder and chairman of the party. The stated reason was that the article was too dependent on primary sources, and they couldn't confirm that it was "real".
After over 3 months of the party's publicity and media coverage, as well as work being done to Draft:Transhumanist Party to add those references and new information being made publicly available, the page was restored. Within hours, the user Dsprc, who was in favor of removing the page the first time, came and removed it again, even though the reference situation had been ameliorated and the party's website was also functional and provided more information and news stories.
Zoltan Istvan is now planning on writing a series of articles that will be published on national news media challenging Wikipedia and the users involved in keeping down the Transhumanist Party article. Among the subjects of these articles are users Dsprc, Stalwart111, Philosopher, their actions, and Wikipedia executive staff. Wikipedia's failure to support an article on this notable political party will not go unnoticed. In the meantime, the page will be properly restored so it can be seen by and improved by users and the public, as there is no doubt that it deserves its page on The Free Encyclopedia for people to see. Nobody is against making the page better, and there will be new additions and references all the time; the party's news coverage is consistently growing, and maybe its Wikipedia page's will soon too.
I hope you can be of help to Wikipedia and the Transhumanist Party by appropriately keeping up this article for the public so conflict does not become more severe.

In a quick scan of the Yobot page, I don't see an item associated with flattening sections as in the edit above. The diff is hard to read, but in addition to reducing the level of some sections, the Yobot edit also seemed to add a section titled "Early life and education". If this is a proper edit, can you explain the guideline (my talk page, if you don't mind)? — MaxEnt 07:07, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
Congratulations on Yobot's recent milestone! How are you tracking Yobot's edits in comparison to other bots? Wikipedia:List of bots by number of edits/1–1000 hasn't been updated since June. Thanks! GoingBatty ( talk) 00:07, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
In this edit [21] Yobot replaced a "<ref>text</ref>:" with ":<ref>text</ref>" per the style rules on references coming after punctuation. However, the colon here is not English punctuation but is instead wiki markup, part of a ";label:more text" construction. The reference is meant to be attached to the label, and thus must absolutely come before the colon.
Whether you want to make the obvious program fix that fails less often (don't correct the first colon after a new-line-starting semicolon) or just add At Freddie's to some exclusion list (but then leaving future flubs to human notice) is up to you.

Hello, Magioladitis,
The Editing team is asking for your help with VisualEditor. I am contacting you because you posted to a feedback page for VisualEditor. Please tell them what they need to change to make VisualEditor work well for you. The team has a list of top-priority problems, but they also want to hear about small problems. These problems may make editing less fun, take too much of your time, or be as annoying as a paper cut. The Editing team wants to hear about and try to fix these small things, too.
You can share your thoughts by clicking this link. You may respond to this quick, simple, anonymous survey in your own language. If you take the survey, then you agree your responses may be used in accordance with these terms.

Hi Magioladitis,
I've been editing the Theo Travis page and you've made an edit in the last 24 hours with Yobot which, as I understand it (and I don't really, yet) is not as a direct user as such but rather with some sort of automated editing bot for doing long, boring editing tasks. I don't really understand what your edit achieved. (It may well have achieved something very useful - as I say, I don't really understand what. I wouldn't object to a simple explanation.)
Anyway, the reason for messaging you is, what I've been doing on this page is editing its discography which I subdivided into several sections for ease of managing it. For editing purposes, each section then had (and now has) its own edit facility. Since your Yobot edit, sections 2.2 and 2.3 (which is a particularly long section) no longer have this edit facility. Does this sound like your Yobot edit could have made this change? - and if I undo that change would that put those two facilities back? Also, what else would undo undo?
I'm at the low end of the learning curve here, so your comments would be much appreciated.
Also, it might be that some sort of bot would be very useful to me for sub-editing Discographies on Wikipedia. (Most of the editing I've done has been music and musicians related.) Advice welcome
Thanks in advance,

A quotation is not a facsimile, and in most cases it is not desirable to duplicate the original formatting. Formatting and other purely typographical elements of quoted text should be adapted to English Wikipedia's conventions without comment provided that doing so will not change or obscure the meaning of the text; this practice is universal among publishers. ... Styling of apostrophes and quotation marks – These should all be straight, not curly or slanted. See § Quotation marks, below. When quoting a quotation that itself contains a quotation, single quotes may be replaced with double quotes, and vice versa. See § Quotations within quotations, below." — BarrelProof ( talk) 00:00, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Magioladitis. In regards to your information about the way {{ nobots}} works, I conducted an analysis of how the template is used. User:B/Analysis of uses of nobots contains my data. I found the following:
All of this I think is worth noting, possibly with an eye towards improving the documentation at {{ bots}}. Most interesting to me was the third item on my list, which I had not even considered and none of the example code segments at {{ bots}} seem to consider - we aren't looking to see if the template is indirectly transcluded. It's probably impractical to look for the templates on all transcluded templates, but it may be worth modifying the recommended practice to look for {{ deceased Wikipedian}} directly on the page and treat that as {{ nobots}}.
Also worth noting is that if someone has a conversation about the template and they use <nowiki>{{nobots}}</nowiki>, etc, in a conversation, the regex examples are going to mistake that template for the real thing because they are not looking for whether or not it is enclosed in nowiki tags. -- B ( talk) 20:36, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

Say, Magioladitis,
is there any reason why you prefer the "See also" template over the "Also"?
Personally, given that they seem to have the same effect, I prefer the shorter "also" version, but this may just be a personal preference. And I'd rather avoid souring what pleasant and civil collaborations there are on wikipedia.

Why does it remove <small>
markup (such as
here)? I think, if there is a more appropriate wiki-markup for small caps ({{
smallcaps}}
would not work, since the text will be copied wrongly), the bot should convert such uses to that, but otherwise it should not break the formatting. —

{{

, "D-something" will be copied as "d-something", which has a different meaning. I can understand why <small>
could be removed when it encloses the whole caption, but why the bot should mess with such complicated formatting? By the way, could you please explain the "goes against MOS" statement? The only thing I found (
WP:CAPFRAG) says: "The text of captions should not be specially formatted (with italics, for example), except in ways that would apply if it occurred in the main text." — which is exactly the case here. —

's documentation, it simply scales the font to 85%, regardless of the
x-height of the actual font. In principle, <small>
is not better in this respect, so I'm wondering whether we have a good mechanism to render small caps at the correct size. But, in any case, Yobot could at least replace <small>
with {{
small}}
instead of completely removing it. (And, in general, how to stop Yobot from messing with manual markup when it is required?) —
Mikhail Ryazanov (

<small>

<ref>
), which is already below those 85% even in the article text and reduces further in other cases (for example, to 9.85px in infoboxes). However, in my opinion, this is not an accessibility issue, since people with accessibility problems either use a screen reader (which does not care about the font size) or apply their own styles with font sizes as large as they want; the only problem for them (and everyone else who uses non-standard styles) is when hardcoded absolute sizes are used. —

The bot job we are talking about has made changes to at least half a dozen pages I watch in the last 24 hours. Most of the chages are minor, and do not affect visual output. However I question if a bot should be doing that if it is not making a substancial change.
That aside, I undestood that a bot should keep a log of its changes and be able to unwind edits, so I do not see this as running another bot job but a bot cleanup up mistakes it has made. -- PBS ( talk) 10:28, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

I follow Frescobot's change and I have not seen this fix last month. I have noticed the change 11 hours ago when I watched this edit.

Magioladitis,
I'm yet again to bother you for a suggestion.
It's been a number of months that people add "Peace Talks" as the next title of Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files, on the basis of this highly unreliable and utterly non-notable reference. I've always reverted the edit, littering the relevant pages with a hidden request not to add it until there is something better.
This editor is just the last of the line, with a different enough slant to the wording to make me wonder whether I did well in reverting it yet again - (s)he did not state that Peace Talks will be published, but that there is a reference who says that the book will. We can't therefore point out that unreliability of the reference (whichever policy/guideline is that), but we can affirm the non-notability of it (I believe). I'm unsure about the policy about future predictions (crystal ball, or however it is named).
I wonder whether we can keep this announcement the way Momofpeanut wrote it, or change the frasing, or keep it out altogether as non-notable. I can do, if you've got the time to spare, with a different opinion.

Hi! Since
I have no choice, I analyzed the articles I should revert in order to find out the best approach and I wish to know your opinion about the results:
User:FrescoBot/revert of 's outside the link. As you can see, about 80% of the pages had a 's
positioning style not consistent before the FrescoBot fix. It is exceedingly difficult to revert just the changed 's and at the same time "preserve" the inconsistency within each article. Moreover since the style inconsistency inside one article according to the mos is not a good thing, I'm planning to revert the bot edit just on the pages where all the 's were inside the link. It is feasible and much more reasonable than a full revert. What do you think? --

Hi: thanks for your message. I had noticed something about Wikidata, but am not certain how to use it. When I see a VIAF link without an LC link, I usually like to add the LC link since it generates a link to WorldCat (which shows major publications; holdings, a word cloud, etc.). I think it's useful for people who are interested. Is there an easy way to add that info to Wikidata rather than the way I'm doing it now? (which is going into the Authority control template and adding the links manually). Thanks in advance. FeanorStar7 23:38, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
Show Wikidata links under page title. Copy this one line code to your .js file. This will add a link in any article to the corresponding Wikidata page.

The order was enforced 61 times in October 2014, and 52 times in December of that year. The reason given is that the call to prayer bothers Jewish settlers in the city."

User:Bgwhite/Sandbox1 contains "empty" span tags. I've removed any that contains <span id= >
. It also contains cases of just <span />
. Should I filter out cases that have ? Any other thoughts?

<span id=foo />
should probably be replaced by {{anchor|foo}}
. I would replace any which are being used as a color box with {{
color box}} or {{
legend}} or {{
legend2}} (
example). another common pattern is probably
this one, which is definitely fine to replace if it's used with the {{
navboxes}} template. if it's being used to introduce a newline before a list, you just need to check the result after removal to make sure it doesn't screw up the bullets (
example).

and similar incarnations that I'm going to "fix" those first before doing another scan. Getting those out of the way, maybe we can see better where we stand on <div>

<div style="clear: xxxx;">
that have been fixed. 2,400 articles of <div>
remain. I see alot of <div id=>
cases. There are odd cases of clear that I need to fix, for example it uses apostrophe instead of quotes.@
Frietjes,
Magioladitis, and
NicoV: I used the new regex on <gallery>
tags. It found an additional 76 articles on enwiki and they have all been fixed. I also checked <center>
tags. There were 100 articles, but they were all cases of <center />
. They were also all fixed. I'll be adding the regex for gallery tags to CheckWiki #85. I'll add cases of <center />
to #2.

I've undone the change you made to the link that you changed in the
In The Nightside Eclipse page.
The problem is that, the link, as you had changed it:
/info/en/?search=Gustave_Dor%C3%A9#mediaviewer.2FFile:Gustave_Dore_-_Death_on_the_Pale_Horse_resized.png
it opens Gustave Doré's page,
instead of the "Death on a Pale Horse (Revelation)" image.
I think that the only way for the link to work is to keep it as an external link (as I had it)
/info/en/?search=Gustave_Dor%C3%A9#mediaviewer/File:Gustave_Dore_-_Death_on_the_Pale_Horse_resized.png

Magioladitis: Thanks for stopping by on the family support page, though the Association for Retarded Citizens-US was renamed the Arc almost two decades ago!! While I study organizations in family support and associations, family support is a concept, policy and practice which is broader than the family groups (known in other fields as targeted secondary clients); families originated services such as non-professional respite (family group funding), and are often reluctant to even move to professional child care (public administration funding), and often are unfamiliar with family support as a long term service for deinstitutionalized populations (with original family support groups in Syracuse, New York). Current is "family-directed" services which still has not clarified who in the family yet from the 1980s (e.g., mother usually), and also requests "behaviorism" versus functional community (jobs,education).

Hello, Magioladitis! I'm wondering if you could help resolve an issue at Talk:Azerbaijan#Language and the subsequent section. My interest in editing is to correct errors in English syntax, verb tenses, verb forms, word usage, spelling, capitalization, and punctuation. I also notice when something is not clear or not worded well, and I try to fix it. If I can't, I ask other editors for help. I was simply trying to improve the language section of Azerbaijan#Language, so I posted a comment. Then an editor named Mursel suggested an alternate wording. In the meantime, a new editor named "Cyber-Policeman" (strange user name) made a change to the article, kind of relating to the issue being discussed on the talk page. Then Alessandro57 reverted, urging him to join the discussion. C-P put the info back in. I left a note with a link to WP:3RR on C-P's talk page. Then I saw C-P had left a note in a separate section regarding a map, but responding to Mursel. I am getting the feeling that this is getting all tied up with politics and nationalist feelings, and my original concern has gone by the wayside somewhat. I don't want to get involved in the argument. Can you help resolve this? CorinneSD ( talk) 01:00, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
Hi Magioladitis,
I sent a comment to CorinneSD who communicated with me and you regarding some edits on Azerbaijan (country, not Iran's province) site.
I'm restating the issue here with small changes. The problem is very simple – it is about Azerbaijan map. The very strange thing is that all other countries with uncontrolled regions are shown in dark green/light green colors (see Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine). Azerbaijan had the same type of map until this July 14. Then it was changed to one color. What is the reason for this exception? Wiki administrators should have reverted the map change on July 14 back to dark green/light green colors as it used to be for some time, and the problem would have been avoided altogether.

I just finished reading the article on Thessaly and made a number of minor edits to correct errors in syntax and word usage, and to improve the flow of sentences and make the sentences more concise. I have a few questions about the article that I thought you might be able to answer. Several are regarding the section Thessaly#Avar invasion of the Byzantine Empire.
1) In the first paragraph, the events are presented in an order that seems a little confusing. I don't know the history that well, so I thought perhaps someone else could work on it.
2) Also, in the first sentence of that paragraph, "Byzantine" is in quotation marks. That suggests that it wasn't really "Byzantine". I'm wondering whether those quotation marks are necessary.
3) In the middle of the second paragraph is a sentence that is really unclear:

Hi! I saw on one of the pages I watch that you're doing a lot of NBSP-elimination as part of a cleanup, following WP:NBSP. That's cool, but in some of those situations I think it's good (and in accordance with the Manual of Style) for there to be a non-break there, it just shouldn't be done with a hard-to-edit normal character. Would you mind taking extra care to see whether you aren't undoing a useful nbsp, and instead of replacing it with a soft space convert it to one of the alternatives like or {{ nbsp}} or something? Metadox ( talk) 19:30, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
or {{nbsp}}
, so that editors can check on the condition while editing. If you insert the non-breaking-space character code itself, it is indistinguishable from a normal space for editors (that is, without special tools). --
Matthiaspaul (

20:59, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
Why are you replacing hard spaces with normal spaces like you did here? I don't know why WP:NBSP says not to use directly typed hard spaces, but it doesn't say to replace them with normal spaces either. These non-breaking spaces all serve a proper purpose. Whatever problem you are fixing, you are creating a bigger one in the process. Spinning Spark 00:03, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
Spinningspark I asked for approval in WP:BOTREQ. This series of edits is to spot any problems. It is done semi-manually and it's also a call for feedback.

So you restored a normal space between "mod" and "q" right after I had reverted you and explained here that if anything that was the most important place in the expression where it should not break.

First of all: thanks, AWB is awesome! I am not a native speaker, so please forgive me if I make mistakes.
With AWB you can make a list based on the source "Wiki search (text)" for a single search term. What I would like is a new option that allows you to have more than one search term. If you chose this new option then you should get a commondialog control asking you which file to use (similar to when you set the source to be a textfile). The search terms should be stored in a textfile, separated by newlines. Maybe that requires two separate options, one for UTF-8 and one for ANSI/Windows-1252.
I would really appreciate it if it is possible to add this functionality because I am currently trying to write some software that could be helpful for some AWB users (don't expect much, I am a noob). It is a basic typo generator with a twist, it will get the number of searchresults from the Wikipedia API and if that is >0 it exports the fixes to the FindAndReplace section in default.xml in \appdata\local\autowikibrowser.
Of course I can write an ugly hack by making a separate application that feeds all the search terms into AWB, but it would be much more awesome if AWB would support this functionality.
I hope I explained everything correctly. Thanks again, Poveglia ( talk) 18:21, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

Metadox, Matthiaspaul, Redrose64, DePiep thank for your comments. My idea was/is the following: Replacing invisible nbsp with normal space enables AWB to add visible nbsp where it is needed. We can expand the cases where visible nbsp is added. I did a limited number of edits to catch attention and get some feedback. Don't hesitate to send me more.

Parsers.FixUnicode
) and then add them back as MOS-compliant entities later (in Article.PerformGeneralFixes
) if they are detected as "good" uses of nbsp? In that case I fear that the proper use of nbsp is an editorial judgment call that probably can't be reliably matched by any automated tool. In particular think about this item from
WP:NBSP: "in other places where breaking across lines might be disruptive to the reader, such as…". There's just no set of regexes that can do more good than harm on those cases. In my opinion AWB should implement this feature as a two-sided classifier instead of a one-sided one. In other words, rather than just trying to come up with a bundle of regexes that matches all the "good" uses of nbsp, also create a set that match many of the "bad" uses. Then code AWB to convert known-bad uses of nbsp into normal space characters, known-good uses into entities, and leave can't-reliably-classify uses alone—possibly flagging them for the user to pass judgment, or collecting a dataset of hard cases that you can then use to design better regexes. --

Sorry for misunderstanding re Astrological symbols. I thought you were applying the PUA template to characters that were not PUA characters. In fact they were PUA characters, so you were correct to apply the template, *but* they were originally not PUA characters, and had been corrupted from assigned Unicode characters (e.g. U+1F71A was changed to U+F71A) by this edit. Obviously AWB should not corrupt Unicode characters. Do you have the latest version of AWB? If so, then this should be reported as a serious AWB bug. BabelStone ( talk) 17:29, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
You have been deleting and moving around your talk page archives. It looks at first glance as if in the process, hundreds of user talk page edits have been permanently deleted. This is not allowed and a misuse of admin tools. Can you please either indicate where the hundreds of deleted edits in the history of e.g. User talk:Magioladitis/Archive 7 (and the other archive pages) can be accessed by non-admins, or correct your error and make sure that no talk page edits are inaccessible any longer?

Hi, I recently submitted a page about the "Τροχαδι" which was in Greek and I would like to translate it and put it back up on the website. The instructions said to message you before doing so. Is there anything I should be aware of? Or can I just re-write the text in English and then post it?
P.S Do the references need to be in English? Most of the primary sources are academic books from the late 19th early 20th century that were written in Greek and are not available online so naturally all of the information is in Greek, should I translate these? Or just keep it in the original Greek?

Magioladitis, these edits to FGM ( 22 February; 22 February; and 17 February) violate WP:CITEVAR by unbundling citations and moving references out of sequence. They seem provocative given that I asked you on 15 February to stop changing cite formats elsewhere.
FGM is a featured article. It has gone through a GAN review, an informal peer review, a formal peer review, an FAC review, and two external specialist reviews, so if you want to make changes, including changes to the citation formats, please gain consensus on the talk page first. Thank you, Sarah (SV) (talk) 01:01, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
<p>
tags are not to be used in references like that. It causes accessibility problems with those using screen readers. This is not changing cite formats, this is allowing the blind to actually read the article. Accessibility trumps CITEVAR. Accessibility trumps however you want a page to look. Either remove the <p>

How to pick up more women... |
Hi Magioladitis! Victuallers and I have developed a proposal for a talk to be presented at Wikimania 2015. It's titled, How to pick up more women... -- as in more women editors and more women's biographies. Examples include the Edit-a-thon blitz during WikiWomen's History Month and the "new articles" work underway by WikiProject Women Writers. The Wikimania talk proposal review process has begun and there's no guarantee that our proposal will be accepted. That's where you come in. Please review it and, if you wish, give us feedback on the submission's talkpage or my talkpage (vs. your talkpage). Ultimately, we hope you add your name to the signup at the bottom of the proposal which signifies you'd be interested in the talk if you were attending it (it does not commit you to attending Wikimania).

Hi Magioladitis,
I would like to inform you of an issue that is ensuing with a page in the main article namespace. As it becomes more controversial and triggers larger discussion, it should be brought to the attention of administrators and higher-ranked individuals on Wikipedia.
In November 2014, the article "Transhumanist Party" was nominated for deletion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Transhumanist Party. A long discussion about its notability can be viewed at that page, resulting in the decision to replace the page with a redirect to a section of Zoltan Istvan's page, the founder and chairman of the party. The stated reason was that the article was too dependent on primary sources, and they couldn't confirm that it was "real".
After over 3 months of the party's publicity and media coverage, as well as work being done to Draft:Transhumanist Party to add those references and new information being made publicly available, the page was restored. Within hours, the user Dsprc, who was in favor of removing the page the first time, came and removed it again, even though the reference situation had been ameliorated and the party's website was also functional and provided more information and news stories.
Zoltan Istvan is now planning on writing a series of articles that will be published on national news media challenging Wikipedia and the users involved in keeping down the Transhumanist Party article. Among the subjects of these articles are users Dsprc, Stalwart111, Philosopher, their actions, and Wikipedia executive staff. Wikipedia's failure to support an article on this notable political party will not go unnoticed. In the meantime, the page will be properly restored so it can be seen by and improved by users and the public, as there is no doubt that it deserves its page on The Free Encyclopedia for people to see. Nobody is against making the page better, and there will be new additions and references all the time; the party's news coverage is consistently growing, and maybe its Wikipedia page's will soon too.
I hope you can be of help to Wikipedia and the Transhumanist Party by appropriately keeping up this article for the public so conflict does not become more severe.

In a quick scan of the Yobot page, I don't see an item associated with flattening sections as in the edit above. The diff is hard to read, but in addition to reducing the level of some sections, the Yobot edit also seemed to add a section titled "Early life and education". If this is a proper edit, can you explain the guideline (my talk page, if you don't mind)? — MaxEnt 07:07, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
Congratulations on Yobot's recent milestone! How are you tracking Yobot's edits in comparison to other bots? Wikipedia:List of bots by number of edits/1–1000 hasn't been updated since June. Thanks! GoingBatty ( talk) 00:07, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
In this edit [21] Yobot replaced a "<ref>text</ref>:" with ":<ref>text</ref>" per the style rules on references coming after punctuation. However, the colon here is not English punctuation but is instead wiki markup, part of a ";label:more text" construction. The reference is meant to be attached to the label, and thus must absolutely come before the colon.
Whether you want to make the obvious program fix that fails less often (don't correct the first colon after a new-line-starting semicolon) or just add At Freddie's to some exclusion list (but then leaving future flubs to human notice) is up to you.

Please tell them what they need to change to make VisualEditor work well for you. The team has a list of top-priority problems, but they also want to hear about small problems. These problems may make editing less fun, take too much of your time, or be as annoying as a paper cut. The Editing team wants to hear about and try to fix these small things, too.

Hi Magioladitis,
I've been editing the Theo Travis page and you've made an edit in the last 24 hours with Yobot which, as I understand it (and I don't really, yet) is not as a direct user as such but rather with some sort of automated editing bot for doing long, boring editing tasks. I don't really understand what your edit achieved. (It may well have achieved something very useful - as I say, I don't really understand what. I wouldn't object to a simple explanation.)
Anyway, the reason for messaging you is, what I've been doing on this page is editing its discography which I subdivided into several sections for ease of managing it. For editing purposes, each section then had (and now has) its own edit facility. Since your Yobot edit, sections 2.2 and 2.3 (which is a particularly long section) no longer have this edit facility. Does this sound like your Yobot edit could have made this change? - and if I undo that change would that put those two facilities back? Also, what else would undo undo?
I'm at the low end of the learning curve here, so your comments would be much appreciated.
Also, it might be that some sort of bot would be very useful to me for sub-editing Discographies on Wikipedia. (Most of the editing I've done has been music and musicians related.) Advice welcome
Thanks in advance,

A quotation is not a facsimile, and in most cases it is not desirable to duplicate the original formatting. Formatting and other purely typographical elements of quoted text should be adapted to English Wikipedia's conventions without comment provided that doing so will not change or obscure the meaning of the text; this practice is universal among publishers. ... Styling of apostrophes and quotation marks – These should all be straight, not curly or slanted. See § Quotation marks, below.

Hi Magioladitis, I was hoping I could get a review of my proposal at Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/B-bot. The purpose of the bot is to tag orphaned fair use images with {{ subst:orfud}}. I have completed my code and tested it. And there is a backlog of orphaned fair use images that continues to grow and requires the tedium of manual (or semi-automated with AWB) tagging currently.

Hi Magioladitis. In regards to your information about the way {{ nobots}} works, I conducted an analysis of how the template is used. User:B/Analysis of uses of nobots contains my data. I found the following:
All of this I think is worth noting, possibly with an eye towards improving the documentation at {{ bots}}. Most interesting to me was the third item on my list, which I had not even considered and none of the example code segments at {{ bots}} seem to consider - we aren't looking to see if the template is indirectly transcluded. It's probably impractical to look for the templates on all transcluded templates, but it may be worth modifying the recommended practice to look for {{ deceased Wikipedian}} directly on the page and treat that as {{ nobots}}.
Also worth noting is that if someone has a conversation about the template and they use <nowiki>{{nobots}}</nowiki>, etc, in a conversation, the regex examples are going to mistake that template for the real thing because they are not looking for whether or not it is enclosed in nowiki tags. -- B ( talk) 20:36, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

Say, Magioladitis,
is there any reason why you prefer the "See also" template over the "Also"?
Personally, given that they seem to have the same effect, I prefer the shorter "also" version, but this may just be a personal preference. And I'd rather avoid souring what pleasant and civil collaborations there are on wikipedia.

Why does it remove <small>
markup (such as
here)? I think, if there is a more appropriate wiki-markup for small caps ({{
smallcaps}}
would not work, since the text will be copied wrongly), the bot should convert such uses to that, but otherwise it should not break the formatting. —

{{

, "D-something" will be copied as "d-something", which has a different meaning. I can understand why <small>
could be removed when it encloses the whole caption, but why the bot should mess with such complicated formatting? By the way, could you please explain the "goes against MOS" statement? The only thing I found (
WP:CAPFRAG) says: "The text of captions should not be specially formatted (with italics, for example), except in ways that would apply if it occurred in the main text." — which is exactly the case here. —

's documentation, it simply scales the font to 85%, regardless of the
x-height of the actual font. In principle, <small>
is not better in this respect, so I'm wondering whether we have a good mechanism to render small caps at the correct size. But, in any case, Yobot could at least replace <small>
with {{
small}}
instead of completely removing it. (And, in general, how to stop Yobot from messing with manual markup when it is required?) —
Mikhail Ryazanov (

20:54, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
<small>

still violates MOS. Majority of cases I've seen do not have all the caption in small tags, but a large chunk. For some reason, people do an explanation in regular size, but the legend in small size.{{

), which is already below those 85% even in the article text and reduces further in other cases (for example, to 9.85px in infoboxes). However, in my opinion, this is not an accessibility issue, since people with accessibility problems either use a screen reader (which does not care about the font size) or apply their own styles with font sizes as large as they want; the only problem for them (and everyone else who uses non-standard styles) is when hardcoded absolute sizes are used. —

Magioladitis,
I'm yet again to bother you for a suggestion.
It's been a number of months that people add "Peace Talks" as the next title of Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files, on the basis of this highly unreliable and utterly non-notable reference. I've always reverted the edit, littering the relevant pages with a hidden request not to add it until there is something better.
This editor is just the last of the line, with a different enough slant to the wording to make me wonder whether I did well in reverting it yet again - (s)he did not state that Peace Talks will be published, but that there is a reference who says that the book will. We can't therefore point out that unreliability of the reference (whichever policy/guideline is that), but we can affirm the non-notability of it (I believe). I'm unsure about the policy about future predictions (crystal ball, or however it is named).
I wonder whether we can keep this announcement the way Momofpeanut wrote it, or change the frasing, or keep it out altogether as non-notable. I can do, if you've got the time to spare, with a different opinion.

Hi! Since
I have no choice, I analyzed the articles I should revert in order to find out the best approach and I wish to know your opinion about the results:
User:FrescoBot/revert of 's outside the link. As you can see, about 80% of the pages had a 's
positioning style not consistent before the FrescoBot fix. It is exceedingly difficult to revert just the changed 's and at the same time "preserve" the inconsistency within each article. Moreover since the style inconsistency inside one article according to the mos is not a good thing, I'm planning to revert the bot edit just on the pages where all the 's were inside the link. It is feasible and much more reasonable than a full revert. What do you think? --

Hi: thanks for your message. I had noticed something about Wikidata, but am not certain how to use it. When I see a VIAF link without an LC link, I usually like to add the LC link since it generates a link to WorldCat (which shows major publications; holdings, a word cloud, etc.). I think it's useful for people who are interested. Is there an easy way to add that info to Wikidata rather than the way I'm doing it now? (which is going into the Authority control template and adding the links manually). Thanks in advance. FeanorStar7 23:38, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
Show Wikidata links under page title. Copy this one line code to your .js file. This will add a link in any article to the corresponding Wikidata page.

The order was enforced 61 times in October 2014, and 52 times in December of that year. The reason given is that the call to prayer bothers Jewish settlers in the city."

Hi Magioladitis, where can I ask for admin help, report or someone to join in the discussion in an article's talk page? Thanks. ( N0n3up ( talk) 20:13, 6 September 2015 (UTC))
Hello, I have no idea about bots but have come across a new alternate account User:ReflinkerMS which to me looks like an unauthorised bot, opnion and way forward would be appreciated, thanks. MilborneOne ( talk) 10:32, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
@ MilborneOne: I stumbled across this page, note that this is not a bot. It is just another bot-like account operated by me. RMS52 Talk to me
But later, I may abandon the account and make a proper bot. RMS52 Talk to me 12:15, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
could you delete "Module:Extract template parameter" for me? thank you. Frietjes ( talk) 13:24, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
Frietjes One of the parameters causing an article to be in this category is |coordinates=
. Currently, any article in that category that starts with C or D has |coordinates=
. It was rendered deprecated in 2010 it looks like. Is this a parameter that should still be deleted/converted?

| lat_d = | lat_m = | lat_s = | lat_NS = | long_d = | long_m = | long_s = | long_EW =
. any additional junk after the {{
coord}} template can be pushed into |coordinates_ref=
. If you aren't sure, you can ask on the talk page for Infobox dam, which is where the deprecation process was originally started.

|coordinates_ref=
is also deprecated, we can deal with that later.

|coordinates_ref=
is depreciated. I've been removing that. In articles starting with A or B, I converted to |lat_d=
, |lat_m=
, etc. I've been putting the additional junk into |coordinates_type=
and |coordinates_display=
.|closed=
, |coordinates=
, |coordinates_format=
and |coordinates_ref=
.

|coordinates_type=
and title goes in |cooordinates_display=
. the stuff outside of the {{
coord}} template is what I was referring to.

23:34, 15 September 2015 (UTC)Bgwhite, we should probably remove this extraneous markup (found many more with this search)? Frietjes ( talk) 14:42, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
<sup><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span></sup>
in
Mass–energy equivalence at all? Just above that, there is <sup> </sup>
inside and before a ref. Wouldn't a regular space or work just as well?

@
Frietjes and
Magioladitis:
User:Bgwhite/Sandbox1 contains "empty" span tags. I've removed any that contains <span id= >
. It also contains cases of just <span />
. Should I filter out cases that have ? Any other thoughts?

<span id=foo />
should probably be replaced by {{anchor|foo}}
. I would replace any which are being used as a color box with {{
color box}} or {{
legend}} or {{
legend2}} (
example). another common pattern is probably
this one, which is definitely fine to replace if it's used with the {{
navboxes}} template. if it's being used to introduce a newline before a list, you just need to check the result after removal to make sure it doesn't screw up the bullets (
example).

12:02, 16 September 2015 (UTC)@
Frietjes and
Magioladitis: I started a search for <div>
tags, just like I did for <span>
tags. There were so many <div style="clear: both;">
and similar incarnations that I'm going to "fix" those first before doing another scan. Getting those out of the way, maybe we can see better where we stand on <div>
tags
Bgwhite (

<div style="clear: xxxx;">
that have been fixed. 2,400 articles of <div>
remain. I see alot of <div id=>
cases. There are odd cases of clear that I need to fix, for example it uses apostrophe instead of quotes.@
Frietjes,
Magioladitis, and
NicoV: I used the new regex on <gallery>
tags. It found an additional 76 articles on enwiki and they have all been fixed. I also checked <center>
tags. There were 100 articles, but they were all cases of <center />
. They were also all fixed. I'll be adding the regex for gallery tags to CheckWiki #85. I'll add cases of <center />
to #2.

Why was the image removed? It must have been a couple of years ago I went through all kinds of grief to get it put on.
