Thank you for the work you did on the article. I wonder why I do not see any change on the page ratings? It is also strange I do not get an answer on simple questions or a remark, as for instance I was glad to have found useful reverences, like a list of the Musée Jenisch, where a click is enough to consult the list of artists printmakers. Heijermans figures there. I asked whether it was sufficient material, as the warnings on top of the article remain. Hope you will help, if you can help.

Hello, many thanks you for your additions. I saw yesterday, that the Musée Jenisch in the town of Vevey has become by vote of a Swiss Organ responsible for regrouping museums of the country, that it has become a National museum. Unfortunately this triggered off the need to restore the building itself, so they closed in 2009 and will be closed until 2012. It makes a difference in this sense, that Musée Jenisch is no longer Cantonal or just of local interest. Regards, Kalaharih-- Kalaharih ( talk) 13:56, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi!
Thanks for the
![]() | The examples and perspective in this article may not represent a
worldwide view of the subject. |
message left by your User:Helpful Pixie Bot. The bot writes of 'first world'. This is a concept I am unfamiliar with. Is the bot referring to fairly recent time near the present geologically, a United States point of reference, or something else. The List of tephra layers is a relatively recent article creation that I will be expanding to go further into the past where there are radioactivity dates available and more around the world for extensive coverage, also where radioactivity dates exist. Is this what the bot is asking for, or is there something else?
I clicked on the Wikipedia:WikiProject Countering systemic bias link, but did not find it helpful. A first impression is that the worldwide view being asked for is arealistic or unrealistic, but I may not be understanding. Marshallsumter ( talk) 22:44, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
Please comment again at Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style_(article_message_boxes)#Categories. I have updated my answer considerably. It is unfortunate that discussion in that whole large section which discussed so many important additions to the template was restricted to two people mainly. Debresser ( talk) 13:28, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
So I took to adding a date to tags to stop the smackbot from adding more edits and mucking up "(top)" markings in edit histories. So you brought in a "helpful pixie bot" that is clearly entirely helpful and undeniable relevant by... adding edits to ensure capitalisation of the date tag.
I'm impressed. In fact I'm so impressed that I will no longer add any date or other tags and let the bleeding bots sort out the mess. What, no quad-tilde-sig? No, some bot will do it for me. Might as well use that "service" since if I do it myself some hitherto unbeknownst to me other bot will find fault with what I do anyway.

Reverted vandalism after 2 years. -- Magioladitis ( talk) 22:37, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
Hi,
When your bot adds a date to tags such as {{fact}}, it breaks some of MediaWiki's binary mechanisms for indicating when a page has been modified. MediaWiki has these mechanisms so that editors can review subsequent changes. Obviously, no one will want to review the addition of a date to a meta tag, but your edit triggers MediaWiki's notifications all the same. Your bot thus causes editors to be notified about a dud edit of no interest, and since the notification mechanism is binary (page subsequently edited: 1|0), the editor then doesn't get any notification when a real edit is made to the page.
Given the job of your bot, there's no necessity for those edits to be made immediately. If your bot checked edits from 7 days ago, instead of edits made today, then it could do it's job equally well and wouldn't be interfering with Wikipedia's contributors. Or your bot could check edits as they happen, but instead of editing immediately, it could build a log of articles to revisit after seven days for whatever tweaks are necessary.
I hope I've explained the problem well. Gronky ( talk) 22:24, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I've got a maintenance template {{ dablinks}} that adds articles to the category Category:Pages with excessive dablinks. It has a date parameter, and I'd also like to have categories such as Category:Pages with excessive dablinks from July 2011 - but don't want to have to manage the categories manually. If I did alter the template to add it to dated categories (using {{ DMCA}}, probably), would it be possible to have your bot create/delete the necessary dated categories?

Yeah I know what you mean. Nobody thanks you for all of the good work you do and the moment you do something which they see as "controversial" or causing a minor problem they blow it into something massive, spout off negative comments at you as if you are some sort of annoying little vandal and then try to strictly control your freedom to edit and in doing so violate one of the core principles of wikipedia. You can think "well ignore the bastards" but then they start trying to threaten you with blocking or whatever if you don't listen and in doing so can cause an even bigger hash of the situation than any problem you had ever caused. I'm sure I saw you "reported" somewhere, an arb report or something or other, perhaps that's what's really bugging you. Not sure what its about but I personally think that people trying to impose bureacratic control over editors is one of the biggest issues on wikipedia at the moment. We need editors to have freedom and to work in good faith.♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:05, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
Well, sometimes WP:BOLD should be taken more seriously. Unfortunately the most prolific editors seem to come across opposition from time to time, I mean I was being bold and acting in good faith with my Australian template merger proposals a while back and I got a major grilling over it. Editing Djibouti roads for instance is unlikely to attract any moaning minnies but if say I mass removed nav boxes from places in some American city or Aussie county or something it would likely kick up a storm. I think its maybe because you've covered more articles on wikipedia that anybody in its history so from time to time you are undoubtedly going to to attract some unwanted attention I think by people who disagree with the edits.. Above all though its the lack of good faith and branding you as a vandal which is the most hurtful and zapping your motivation to edit. The bureacrat owes you an apology as his failure to recognise good faith edits is seriously concerning.

Well I was thinking of some sub pages of WP:Geography or something in which I can list all of the city maps we have on wikipedia, kind of like User:Nilfanion has in the commons keeping track of what he's uploaded.

About National papers in Switzerland, I confirm that the following on the official website are the papers considered Cantonal, in french, the German part has its own. A National newspaper does not exist. Bankrupcy or change of names mean a big change of a newspaper and it becoming smaller or more local. l'Est Vaudois and the 24 Heures in the 1970s-1990s were the biggest Swiss Cantonal newspapers. On the website 4 are not local: the article of a well-known journalist and artcritic Dominique Vollichard ( D.V.) Qui expose s'expose (24 Heures) in 1973, the one in the Delftsche Courant Galerie De Fiets, 1970. This paper was merged with the The Hague newspaper, a National Dutch paper. The Swiss Cantonal Est-Vaudois, 1994, De Saint-Triphon à Singapour. The Singapore Straits Times in 1994 about the Nancy Roach Gallery. In SIKART Zürich (ref.) I found under exhibits under exhibits search, on the name Heijermans-Tellander the last exhibit in Aubonne (near Lausanne) in 2004. Kalaharih-- Kalaharih ( talk) 22:25, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

Hello Rich Farmbrough,
I hope you did read what has happened lately. But in case you did not I tell you now. At the moment I do my best to explain an unfortunate complication about the article we so much worked on. In fact I was more or less obliged to continue the work done by Paldopaldino, because of the schedules in his work as a steward. He asked me to do the last part myself. But as I always wrote as Kalaharih it was hard for me, as it started to look like an autobiography. But in reality, the main reason was that FRANCE eliminated the french article by Paldopaldino, and created a void. As I am Dutch I tried a small article in Dutch, but where I live people speak french. A few do master english, and my teachers were all Americans. Anyway, it is clear now that I am the same person as Kalaharih. And I did not know that the young man that helped me and for instance created the official website, made wikipedia mistakes with the copyrights, as he send messages saying the source was his own. That is why nobody believes, I am not 2 persons. I am old, and the website was a gesture of thanks for all my life's work from the Commune Ollon. One can find on Internet Ollon the same site they offered me. I have not the money to create a beautiful site like that. I just write this that it all was due to circumstances, that made that this young man, who has the job of flying in airplanes, was all the time absent and could not cope with the work since end of april, and he was afraid I would have problems if I wrote about myself. Therefore I had little choice, I would only like to do my best to reassure people like you that the article was done in an honest way. And I hope the work was not done for nothing as there is no intention of me nor Paldopaldino of publicity. The french article was already in short what the content was of a book written and edited by Mr. Pierre Alain Genillard in 2009, which he interviewed me for during 2008. This book is in fact at the origine of the official website (in french and in english). With greetings Kalaharih-- Kalaharih ( talk) 12:27, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
Hi Rich. Rosie recently created Category:Country houses in the United Kingdom and Category:Country houses in England and Category:Manor houses in the United Kingdom. What I need is to merge manor houses into country houses category and then for you to go through the sub cats in Category:Houses in England, Wales , Scotland and N. Ireland by county and add this country house category. You'll find the vast majority will indeed be country houses so you can simply categorize them all. What I want is this category eventually to hold all country houses in England, and then the same with Wales, Scotland etc. Some time I will create a List of country houses in England which will attempt to list all country houses, manors, halls, stately homes etc and can route out the missing articles. But if you could fill this new category with anything which ends in Hall , Manor or House this would be of great help.♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:23, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
Which template adds Category:Wikipedia maintenance categories with missing months? Debresser ( talk) 10:25, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

Debresser (
talk)
12:37, 25 July 2011 (UTC)At the moment {{ Monthly maintenance category}} is, as you call it, a near-synonym to {{ Monthly clean-up category}}. I found 15 monthly categories using it. All these 15 categories were "Use" categories (like Use dmy dates, or Use Indian English). I agree that these are maintenance categories, rather than clean-up categories. Nevertheless I think that when the time comes to use {{ Monthly maintenance category}}, that should be done uniformly to all monthly categories of a parent category and in all relevant parent categories. Since the 15 I found are clearly a very tiny minority, and even in their own parent categories the usage of {{ Monthly maintenance category}} wasn't uniformly, I have replaced these instances by {{ Monthly clean-up category}}.
With an eye on the future, I'd like to point out that when this time comes, I could image that there might be some parent categories of arguable status, I mean, whether they are just general maintenance categories, or specifically clean-up categories. In any case I'd appreciate it if you'd inform me of such a decision.
I have rephrased your "near-synonym" phrase in a way which I think is more correct. I hope you don't mind. Debresser ( talk) 12:36, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
Rich, either you or your bot placed an Inline Citation and an NPOV tag on this page. The page has citations for most everything there. The NPOV issues were from 2007. But the page has been heavily edited, especially since the subject's death, and it's arrived at a consensus that there are no longer any NPOV issues to it. The recent mention of NPOV in the talk page was concerning a user's comment, not the page itself. I left a note there asking if anyone saw reason for the tags to remain and there have been no responses. If you have a specific reasoning, let me know and we'll try to address it. Otherwise I'll remove the tags soon. If it was the bot's misreading, then please disregard. MichaelNetzer ( talk) 11:09, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

Just a question about the maintenance categories that FemtoBot automatically creates each month: I've noticed that the bot is frequently forced to recreate old, long-deleted monthly categories in the ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Category needed queue, because an article got reverted to an old version for one reason or another and resulted in the old category being temporarily repopulated again. I'm just putting this forward as an idea for discussion, and am certainly not wedded to it — but just to keep things simpler for everyone, I wonder what you would think about the feasibility and/or desirability of recoding the bot so that when it encounters a repopulated old maintenance category, it would retag the article to the current month instead of recreating the old one?

Thank you for the work you did on the article. I wonder why I do not see any change on the page ratings? It is also strange I do not get an answer on simple questions or a remark, as for instance I was glad to have found useful reverences, like a list of the Musée Jenisch, where a click is enough to consult the list of artists printmakers. Heijermans figures there. I asked whether it was sufficient material, as the warnings on top of the article remain. Hope you will help, if you can help.

Hello, many thanks you for your additions. I saw yesterday, that the Musée Jenisch in the town of Vevey has become by vote of a Swiss Organ responsible for regrouping museums of the country, that it has become a National museum. Unfortunately this triggered off the need to restore the building itself, so they closed in 2009 and will be closed until 2012. It makes a difference in this sense, that Musée Jenisch is no longer Cantonal or just of local interest. Regards, Kalaharih-- Kalaharih ( talk) 13:56, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi!
Thanks for the
![]() | The examples and perspective in this article may not represent a
worldwide view of the subject. |
message left by your User:Helpful Pixie Bot. The bot writes of 'first world'. This is a concept I am unfamiliar with. Is the bot referring to fairly recent time near the present geologically, a United States point of reference, or something else. The List of tephra layers is a relatively recent article creation that I will be expanding to go further into the past where there are radioactivity dates available and more around the world for extensive coverage, also where radioactivity dates exist. Is this what the bot is asking for, or is there something else?
I clicked on the Wikipedia:WikiProject Countering systemic bias link, but did not find it helpful. A first impression is that the worldwide view being asked for is arealistic or unrealistic, but I may not be understanding. Marshallsumter ( talk) 22:44, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
Please comment again at Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style_(article_message_boxes)#Categories. I have updated my answer considerably. It is unfortunate that discussion in that whole large section which discussed so many important additions to the template was restricted to two people mainly. Debresser ( talk) 13:28, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
So I took to adding a date to tags to stop the smackbot from adding more edits and mucking up "(top)" markings in edit histories. So you brought in a "helpful pixie bot" that is clearly entirely helpful and undeniable relevant by... adding edits to ensure capitalisation of the date tag.
I'm impressed. In fact I'm so impressed that I will no longer add any date or other tags and let the bleeding bots sort out the mess. What, no quad-tilde-sig? No, some bot will do it for me. Might as well use that "service" since if I do it myself some hitherto unbeknownst to me other bot will find fault with what I do anyway.

Reverted vandalism after 2 years. -- Magioladitis ( talk) 22:37, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
Hi,
When your bot adds a date to tags such as {{fact}}, it breaks some of MediaWiki's binary mechanisms for indicating when a page has been modified. MediaWiki has these mechanisms so that editors can review subsequent changes. Obviously, no one will want to review the addition of a date to a meta tag, but your edit triggers MediaWiki's notifications all the same. Your bot thus causes editors to be notified about a dud edit of no interest, and since the notification mechanism is binary (page subsequently edited: 1|0), the editor then doesn't get any notification when a real edit is made to the page.
Given the job of your bot, there's no necessity for those edits to be made immediately. If your bot checked edits from 7 days ago, instead of edits made today, then it could do it's job equally well and wouldn't be interfering with Wikipedia's contributors. Or your bot could check edits as they happen, but instead of editing immediately, it could build a log of articles to revisit after seven days for whatever tweaks are necessary.
I hope I've explained the problem well. Gronky ( talk) 22:24, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I've got a maintenance template {{ dablinks}} that adds articles to the category Category:Pages with excessive dablinks. It has a date parameter, and I'd also like to have categories such as Category:Pages with excessive dablinks from July 2011 - but don't want to have to manage the categories manually.

Yeah I know what you mean. Nobody thanks you for all of the good work you do and the moment you do something which they see as "controversial" or causing a minor problem they blow it into something massive, spout off negative comments at you as if you are some sort of annoying little vandal and then try to strictly control your freedom to edit and in doing so violate one of the core principles of wikipedia. You can think "well ignore the bastards" but then they start trying to threaten you with blocking or whatever if you don't listen and in doing so can cause an even bigger hash of the situation than any problem you had ever caused. I'm sure I saw you "reported" somewhere, an arb report or something or other, perhaps that's what's really bugging you. Not sure what its about but I personally think that people trying to impose bureacratic control over editors is one of the biggest issues on wikipedia at the moment. We need editors to have freedom and to work in good faith.♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:05, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
Well, sometimes WP:BOLD should be taken more seriously. Unfortunately the most prolific editors seem to come across opposition from time to time, I mean I was being bold and acting in good faith with my Australian template merger proposals a while back and I got a major grilling over it. Editing Djibouti roads for instance is unlikely to attract any moaning minnies but if say I mass removed nav boxes from places in some American city or Aussie county or something it would likely kick up a storm. I think its maybe because you've covered more articles on wikipedia that anybody in its history so from time to time you are undoubtedly going to to attract some unwanted attention I think by people who disagree with the edits.. Above all though its the lack of good faith and branding you as a vandal which is the most hurtful and zapping your motivation to edit. The bureacrat owes you an apology as his failure to recognise good faith edits is seriously concerning.

Well I was thinking of some sub pages of WP:Geography or something in which I can list all of the city maps we have on wikipedia, kind of like User:Nilfanion has in the commons keeping track of what he's uploaded.

About National papers in Switzerland, I confirm that the following on the official website are the papers considered Cantonal, in french, the German part has its own. A National newspaper does not exist. Bankrupcy or change of names mean a big change of a newspaper and it becoming smaller or more local. l'Est Vaudois and the 24 Heures in the 1970s-1990s were the biggest Swiss Cantonal newspapers. On the website 4 are not local: the article of a well-known journalist and artcritic Dominique Vollichard ( D.V.) Qui expose s'expose (24 Heures) in 1973, the one in the Delftsche Courant Galerie De Fiets, 1970. This paper was merged with the The Hague newspaper, a National Dutch paper. The Swiss Cantonal Est-Vaudois, 1994, De Saint-Triphon à Singapour. The Singapore Straits Times in 1994 about the Nancy Roach Gallery. In SIKART Zürich (ref.) I found under exhibits under exhibits search, on the name Heijermans-Tellander the last exhibit in Aubonne (near Lausanne) in 2004. Kalaharih-- Kalaharih ( talk) 22:25, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

Hello Rich Farmbrough,
I hope you did read what has happened lately. But in case you did not I tell you now. At the moment I do my best to explain an unfortunate complication about the article we so much worked on. In fact I was more or less obliged to continue the work done by Paldopaldino, because of the schedules in his work as a steward. He asked me to do the last part myself. But as I always wrote as Kalaharih it was hard for me, as it started to look like an autobiography. But in reality, the main reason was that FRANCE eliminated the french article by Paldopaldino, and created a void. As I am Dutch I tried a small article in Dutch, but where I live people speak french. A few do master english, and my teachers were all Americans. Anyway, it is clear now that I am the same person as Kalaharih. And I did not know that the young man that helped me and for instance created the official website, made wikipedia mistakes with the copyrights, as he send messages saying the source was his own. That is why nobody believes, I am not 2 persons. I am old, and the website was a gesture of thanks for all my life's work from the Commune Ollon. One can find on Internet Ollon the same site they offered me. I have not the money to create a beautiful site like that. I just write this that it all was due to circumstances, that made that this young man, who has the job of flying in airplanes, was all the time absent and could not cope with the work since end of april, and he was afraid I would have problems if I wrote about myself. Therefore I had little choice, I would only like to do my best to reassure people like you that the article was done in an honest way. And I hope the work was not done for nothing as there is no intention of me nor Paldopaldino of publicity. The french article was already in short what the content was of a book written and edited by Mr. Pierre Alain Genillard in 2009, which he interviewed me for during 2008. This book is in fact at the origine of the official website (in french and in english). With greetings Kalaharih-- Kalaharih ( talk) 12:27, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
Hi Rich. Rosie recently created Category:Country houses in the United Kingdom and Category:Country houses in England and Category:Manor houses in the United Kingdom. What I need is to merge manor houses into country houses category and then for you to go through the sub cats in Category:Houses in England, Wales , Scotland and N. Ireland by county and add this country house category. You'll find the vast majority will indeed be country houses so you can simply categorize them all. What I want is this category eventually to hold all country houses in England, and then the same with Wales, Scotland etc. Some time I will create a List of country houses in England which will attempt to list all country houses, manors, halls, stately homes etc and can route out the missing articles. But if you could fill this new category with anything which ends in Hall , Manor or House this would be of great help.♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:23, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
Which template adds Category:Wikipedia maintenance categories with missing months? Debresser ( talk) 10:25, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

Debresser (
talk)
12:37, 25 July 2011 (UTC)At the moment {{ Monthly maintenance category}} is, as you call it, a near-synonym to {{ Monthly clean-up category}}. I found 15 monthly categories using it. All these 15 categories were "Use" categories (like Use dmy dates, or Use Indian English). I agree that these are maintenance categories, rather than clean-up categories. Nevertheless I think that when the time comes to use {{ Monthly maintenance category}}, that should be done uniformly to all monthly categories of a parent category and in all relevant parent categories. Since the 15 I found are clearly a very tiny minority, and even in their own parent categories the usage of {{ Monthly maintenance category}} wasn't uniformly, I have replaced these instances by {{ Monthly clean-up category}}.
With an eye on the future, I'd like to point out that when this time comes, I could image that there might be some parent categories of arguable status, I mean, whether they are just general maintenance categories, or specifically clean-up categories. In any case I'd appreciate it if you'd inform me of such a decision.
I have rephrased your "near-synonym" phrase in a way which I think is more correct. I hope you don't mind. Debresser ( talk) 12:36, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
Rich, either you or your bot placed an Inline Citation and an NPOV tag on this page. The page has citations for most everything there. The NPOV issues were from 2007. But the page has been heavily edited, especially since the subject's death, and it's arrived at a consensus that there are no longer any NPOV issues to it. The recent mention of NPOV in the talk page was concerning a user's comment, not the page itself. I left a note there asking if anyone saw reason for the tags to remain and there have been no responses. If you have a specific reasoning, let me know and we'll try to address it. Otherwise I'll remove the tags soon. If it was the bot's misreading, then please disregard. MichaelNetzer ( talk) 11:09, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

Just a question about the maintenance categories that FemtoBot automatically creates each month: I've noticed that the bot is frequently forced to recreate old, long-deleted monthly categories in the ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Category needed queue, because an article got reverted to an old version for one reason or another and resulted in the old category being temporarily repopulated again. I'm just putting this forward as an idea for discussion, and am certainly not wedded to it — but just to keep things simpler for everyone, I wonder what you would think about the feasibility and/or desirability of recoding the bot so that when it encounters a repopulated old maintenance category, it would retag the article to the current month instead of recreating the old one?
