Hello, Tedder. May I ask if TedderBot can keep User:AlexNewArtBot/GoodSearchResult refreshed, please? The bot is active, but has somehow ignored this page lately. Please have a look. Thank you. -- PFHLai ( talk) 20:24, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

It removed the template http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=David_Rath&diff=494890094&oldid=494788978 why? The template is supposed to stay there, the bot removed it within few hours when I inserted it in article, is that task even approved? What's the point of doing that. I would understand if it removed the template after several days, not hours. Petrb ( talk) 12:06, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
Hi Tedder,

I don't know if this is important, except for people who are doing a new listing on this page and using an existing listing as an example. The individual links to "log" go to the old Alex log links that haven't been updated in a year. I corrected Texas and Hawaii to point to the TedderBot/NewPageSearch/*errors. The rest of them are pointing to the old Alex pages. Perhaps a bot can correct those? Maile66 ( talk) 13:52, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

User:AlexNewArtBot/TexasSearchResult On June 7, the bot picked up an additional 250 articles for the Texas project. And about 130 for the next. The hundreds of one-line articles being created by Thine Antique Pen and by Dipankan001 have absolutely nothing to do with Texas. The phenomenon is happening because they use Texas A & M as a source. It defeats the purpose of having that list if these kinds of edits are crowding the rest out. Is there a tweak you can do to the rules to cut down on this? Can you do something so the bot doesn't pick up the citation sourcing? Your help is appreciated. Maile66 ( talk) 17:46, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

Tbanks. It was a lens replacement. I've also had two laser surgeries in the other eye, both to repair a retinal tear. The lasered eye works quite well, and I think this one will be fine too. What doctors can do is truly amazing. With no treatment for either problem, I'd probably be close to blind in the first eye and heading that way in the second. With new glasses, I hope to be close to 20/20 again by August (knock on wood). I hope your transplants have solved the problem. Finetooth ( talk) 21:06, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
I tried to add some additional information on the two alumni you removed (without making them mini-bios). A high MLB draft pick and major award finalist (who's currently playing in the College WS) and a multi-time national gymnastics champion who was on the national team for six years both seem notable to me (so I made those things explicit). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.84.97.221 ( talk) 02:41, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I see you undid my changes on Pulte Homes for sources not being reliable. Although I do follow you fully for that on Freerepublic.com I do have my doubts on the Youtube video (without any other comments made by 3rd parties that include this video embedded on their own website: didn't use those for that reason). Also their (small) fine and consent-agreement in South Carolina seems sound to me.(reference to that was already made inline in the article; just re-used it)
And as I'm not knowing the ins-and-outs I do want your opinion on the report http://poorlybuiltbypulte.info/20090309_PBBP.pdf which I wanted to add but then had a edit-conflict with you.
As I really don't want to start an edit-war with you, or anyone else, would like your opinion on this PDF report from Building Justitce/Poorly Built by Pulte. The website itself is not "neutral": that's what I can see; but the report seems quite sound.
Your reaction is very welcome and I don't intend to edit the page before hearing from you, Thanks, Tonkie ( talk) 20:00, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

If you looked closer, whoever wrote 14 miles is clearly the one who is incorrect. The original editor cited source number 3 which states 4.1 miles. I simply fixed the typo.

Is Jonah Mowry ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) salted? I guess that's the reason the option to create the page isn't available. Seeing that this person remains a steady focus of mainstream media attention I would like you to open this title up for editing.

I accidentally added information and considered it to be a minor edit. However, I included a link and added information of which is considered a standard edit.

I included the original sources in the rewrite. They were incorporated in to the rewrite. The original article was very dated and originally poorly constructed. I did attempt to follow wiki guidelines for NPOV, but just added new copy, updated info on the park and a few new sources. If the article needs more improvement, please advise.

Minor, but ironic. Connecticut Women's Hall of Fame, created on July 5 and which could not be more blatantly about Connecticut, never shows up on Tedderbot's runs under Connecticut. It has showed up elsewhere, the bot's run on Women's History and Good articles, for instance. I realize this is about the User:AlexNewArtBot/Connecticut that was written years ago. But isn't this the irony of ironies? Maile66 ( talk) 11:41, 6 July 2012 (UTC).
Hi Tedder, I was working on improving new Cambro Manufacturing article that another editor had started, but it looks like you just deleted it.

Thanks, Tedder. I have zero interest in self-promoting at Culver High. A bunch of Culver High alumni were with me and wondered why "their" Olympian was not listed on the page; I was with some wiki editing experience; they wanted me to advance the page with "their" Olympian. So, would you please perhaps review the matter and perhaps improve the article with Culver High's Olympian, as you see fit. Joefaust ( talk) 04:29, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
I am not disagreeing with your action of removing a recent death tag from the Sister Boom Boom page, but since he only died Monday, two days ago - how can it be "stale?" I did read the instructions and since I placed the tag within hours of his death and the obituaries are only being published in major papers today, I still don't see how the tag got outdated. I'm not attacking you, please don't get upset, just I am curious what part of "recent" I missed out on when the event is within the same week? Ellin Beltz ( talk) 18:57, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
I don't mean to be a pain, but how is it that someone who runs a world-renowned program at an Ivy League institution "not notable"? Tim Vasen is very well-known, not only for his work at Princeton but also as a director in theatre. My understanding is that outright deletions of material are a violation of WP policy.

Hello. I appreciate the value of bots but it's kind of hard to discuss their edits with them. Could your bot be configured to not revisit pages (or at least for a long time) or to use a whitelist, where other editors can list pages to be skipped? Otherwise it edit wars without comment or discussion, and without respecting any guidelines (e.g., 3RR). I know the bot only has the best of intentions, but it's just not very good at collaborating. Thanks! guanxi ( talk) 16:32, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
I apologize by responding here to your edit of my edit of the Meritage Homes page. I'm a novice and for the life of me, I can't figure out how to respond to you on my own talk page. It's probably an age/early onset thing. :-)
First, thanks for your welcome and guidance. I have a couple of comments/questions.
It's not clear to me why The Ripoff Report and ConsumeAffairs.com are not legitimate sources while newspapers are. These independent websites contain many complaints about Meritage's building quality and business practices, and they form a pattern. Of course, newspapers will never cover one-off complaints of this type since they're spread across multiple newspaper-markets and are not considered "newsworthy". You seem to have more faith in the accuracy of newspaper coverage than I do. Nevertheless, I will follow your advice and look for newspaper articles, but I'd appreciate it if you would reconsider your decision that the web sites I've cited are not legitimate sources.
Second, I want to bring to your attention that, without an addition like mine, the Meritage Homes page is nothing more than an advertisement. The only citation in the text is to its own web page, and that link is out-of-date. All other links are either to web pages that "document" that and there is such a thing as "real estate development" and there is a city called "Scottsdale, AZ". Other links describe what the Forbes 1000 and the S&P SmallCap Index are without documenting Meritage's claim that they are included in either. Trust them.
The link to the "All-Star Miracle Homes" Wikipedia page is just another advertisement for Meritage. None of the links on this page document that there is, in fact, such an entity, though I agree these Miracle Homes probably exist. The links on the Miracle Homes page, in turn, either go to touts of Meritage's local-market All-Star Miracle Homes or various institutions' and organizations' web pages that do not document Meritage's claims about the All-Star Miracle Homes. Note that this page cites no independent websites that verify Meritage's claims, much less any newspaper articles, apparently your gold standard of verification.
Finally, among the External Links, two are to Meritage's web and Twitter pages, hardly independent verification of anything; HousingNewsNetwork.com, simply a search engine which didn't turn up anything on Meritage when I tired it today; and financial information on Google and Yahoo.
Meritage has done nothing more than pile link on to link to make it APPEAR they've provided independent verification supporting their page. In fact, there's nothing there.
What can be done about this ?
Best,
BMO — Preceding unsigned comment added by BellaMontagniaHomeowner ( talk • contribs) 15:09, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
I agree that I must come up with sources that meet Wikipedia standards in order to get my edit approved. No Issue there.
My question is this: Do articles that are purely promotional in nature with no verification other than sources that are self-generated meet Wikipedia standards? If so, wow. If not, are they removed, and shouldn't this one be removed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by BellaMontagniaHomeowner ( talk • contribs) 00:08, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
I have no problem with seeing the article deleted and then Meritage coming back with a new one that cites verifiable sources, is less flagrantly promotional, and removes the links that on the surface appear to provide support for their claims but in fact do not. Cheers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BellaMontagniaHomeowner ( talk • contribs) 04:42, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
I remember inquiring a while back about whether or not the bot could leave the front or back of each line alone so that I could mark items as unrelated.

Hello. I am not sure if I should post here or over at User:AlexNewArtBot. In any case, I notice that " Blinking colloidal nanocrystals" was not picked up and posted by the User:AlexNewArtBot/PhysicsSearchResult for artcle alerts. FYI this article did start out as " Colloidal nanocrystals" but was moved to its present title. Would it be possible to post Blinking colloidal nanocrystals to the relevant search bot? In this case it would be physics and engineering. I also notice there are no links to this article from any project. Do you know what this is about? ---- Steve Quinn ( talk) 04:56, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi Tedder. First, thanks for comments and helping me understand the wiki-verse. I think the atheist group label for FFRF is incorrect. The group has two purposes A) to keep church and state separate (B) to "educate the public on matters of nontheism." I understand that Wikipedia should not just accept any group's self-identification, but atheist is a pretty narrow term. It also suggests that the members and employees are all atheists which is not true. The rejection of religion and religious dogma as a way of thinking is simply not atheism. Atheism is a lack of belief in god. Freethought on the other hand is a positive (as in standing for something and not the absence of something) definition that encompasses atheism, agnosticism, nontheism, and even state/church separation. "Freethought group" is a broader term that encompasses all of FFRF's stated goals and purposes whereas "atheist group" doesn't really encompass any. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Hi Tedder,
I noted you deleted an attempt to setup a "Satellite Direct" article in March of 2011, and I commend you for that. Since I'm not an administrator, I haven't been able to see whatever "ad" was attempted by them back then, but I have no doubt that this "somewhat scuzzy" company was attempting to use Wikipedia as one of their advertising platforms for what I see as their very heavily "hyped up" and somewhat misleading advertising campaign.
Having said that, I have recently become a subscriber of theirs, and I do believe that their company isn't "total scuz". There is a certain element of value in their product, even though the value of their product is not very well represented by their hyped-up ad campaign. They've now been around for a couple of years, and a Google search on their name now yields nearly 2 million hits. Also, there is currently much confusion on the internet where their name gets mixed up with a magazine that goes by that same name, as well as the dish satellite company "DirecTV". Therefor, I think that it may be time to restart an article about them, to be vigilant to prevent any of their minions from commandeering their article for their own advert. purposes (as I'm sure they will attempt at least once or twice), and to set up a good disambiguation page to clarify which company is what.
What do you think?
Thanks,

Ahoy there! Since your bot has superseded the AlexNewArtBot, I'm directing this question to you. I notice that in the current rules for AlexNewArtBot/Chile, the ruleset does not flag new Chile articles that have a Chile project template on their talk pages (unless I missed something), and the bot should probably do that. Since the bot creator is banned but the bot appears to still be working, do you know to whom this query should be directed, or can/would you fix it?

Hi-I was looking at the new articles at WikiProject Wisconsin and there are two articles entries that are scramble, not complete. Would you please look at this. The bot lists new articles about Wisconsin and Milwaukee there. Thank you- RFD ( talk) 19:55, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
I notice that the Cheshire search archive stopped displaying new items properly in November last year, but on investigation it looks as if the problem might just be a limit to the number of entries per page that the la & user templates will expand. Would it be ok to move old entries to a subpage, to get around this problem? Cheers, Espresso Addict ( talk) 17:00, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

User:AlexNewArtBot/EducationSearchResult contains many articles that are only indirectly related to education. This list would be more useful to me if all the articles related to sports were listed separately, perhaps in

Hello, Tedder,
About the following webpage: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Allen_radiation_belt
The last part of the first paragraph reads: "There are three distinct belts, with energetic electrons forming the outer belt and a combination of protons and electrons forming the inner belt. In addition, the radiation belts contain lesser amounts of other nuclei, such as alpha particles. The belts pose a hazard to satellites, which must protect their sensitive components with adequate shielding if their orbit spends significant time in the radiation belts."
Well, it seems to me that there are two belts. If you read carefully the last part of the first paragraph, and then see the draw in the right side of the webpage...
A part of the Spanish section of the Wikipedia
http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinturones_de_Van_Allen
reads: "Hay dos cinturones de Van Allen:...". (There are two Van Allen belts:...").
Frankly, I do not know who is right and who is wrong.

I recently reviewed User:TedderBot/NewPageSearch/Good/errors and noticed that the entry for National colours of Canada received a score of -50 for containing the pattern "\{\{or". Perhaps the pattern should be amended, as it catches {{ or}} (rightfully so) but also {{ orphan}} (perhaps unintentionally). I don't think the latter affects page quality to the same extent as the former, so should be re-weighted or eliminated. The bot also mistakenly catches the pattern "\Wlist" within the URL of a ref ("/list" in this case). Mind matrix 13:32, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

I don't know if it is viable for Tedderbot to tag the talkpages of the NewArticles with appropriate Wikiprojects, as in most cases it return perfect results. I guess using the same dataset and codes (I am not from a computer background) after some modifications, it will be able to add those tags very easily.

Dear Mr. Tedder,
I am writing to you this letter, as there is a major problem and I believe that you are the best person to talk to about it.
First of all I would like to make a few comments on the profile that you have in wikipedia, telling you that I find it very smart.
In fact I chose to write to you out of a large number of administrators, as it seems that we have a lot of things in common. Unfortunately you are not mentioning anything about your motorcycles, but I would like you to know, that I am a great fun of them too, that's why I have an old collective BMW and a Honda of 1988 (both of them are in absolutely perfect condition).
The reason that I am communicating you, is because someone that was using the name : "Panagiotis Xenos-Kokoletsis" appears in a number of pages in wikipedia and this is a major problem for me, as it is creating a confusion that turned out whenever I have applied for a job, because all of the employers are asking me whether this person is me.
I would like to tell you, that this name is extremely rare, as we are only four people in the whole planet with this name (me and three cousins of mine) .
The problem though, is that I am keep on loosing job positions, as the employers can not know whether this person is me, or not. As you can understand this has as a consequence that I can not cope with the financial obligations that I have towards my family.
I will kindly ask you to delete these pages from wikipedia, as can not do it myself.
The links for two of them, that I found just now are the following :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:AlexNewArtBot/GreeceSearchResult/archive15 http://wpedia.goo.ne.jp/enwiki/User_talk:Panagiotis_Xenos-Kokoletsis

Hi,
You salted The Stunners, after it was repeatedly deleted. Another editor has created a new article at The Stunners (group), and there's a request to move it to The Stunners.
I've not checked thoroughly, but from my quick glance, I think the new article is suitable for Wikipedia (or at least none of the previous reasons for deletion apply now). I've gone into a little more detail at Talk:The Stunners (group)#Requested move.
I wanted to point this discussion out to you, as you're the person who salted the article, and performed two of the deletions.

Dear Tedder:
I'm writing with regard to the "Alex new art bot". I've noticed that for many of the articles I've written, clicking on the "What links here" utility yields a large number pages created by your bot. Obviously, these cannot serve to provide readers with any further information about the topics of the articles. Also, after a certain point the articles are no longer "new".
It occurred to me that the "What links here" utility, which I use a great deal, could be made more useful if, after some decent interval, you removed the pages created by your bot. (I'm fully aware that I could alter my Preferences to keep these pages from popping up, but I suspect that the average Wikipedia reader does not know this.)
So, what would you think of taking the older pages down?
Yours sincerely, Opus33 ( talk) 19:03, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
Tedder, I'm seeing here you're having trouble with the bot. Just want to confirm. It looks to me like Women's History Project and Wikiproject Texas have not been updated since March, and WikiProject Hawaii has not been updated since early April. It's OK if they haven't because of the issues you've had with the bot. But I just want to confirm if those time periods seem about right to you. Thanks for your time. — Maile ( talk) 00:05, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi, tedder. I've been reading the previous posts here (and your replies) over the past month, and more than once I decided there was no need for me to leave a message about tedderbot, because it appeared that if I just remained patient, eventually the bot would get back to updating the following WikiProject Oregon page: Wikipedia:WikiProject Oregon/Admin — which is the page that logs all new or renamed articles to enable them to appear in the various "recent changes" lists for the project. However, from the most recent posts here, I'm starting to wonder if that page got overlooked; it was last updated on April 28. If the bot isn't ready to get back to automatic (daily) updates, at least a manual update once every week or two would be welcome, if practical. As everyone else here often says (but it's true), the bot is very useful. Thanks. SJ Morg ( talk) 11:12, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

Hello, Great to see these listings running again. Thank you! Regarding the 'Forestry' new articles search, I note that the listings have not been particularly useful. Looking at the search terms, I think it might, in part, be because of the inclusion of the term 'wood' in the search terms. It simply turns up too many things! E.g. 'Woodlawn' 'wood structure' etc. Could you please remove that particular search term from future 'Forestry' new article searches? Then perhaps we'll see if there are any other problematic search terms, too. Thanks, DA Sonnenfeld ( talk) 18:31, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

FYI, Willamette Week used your photo of Central Catholic High School, and not only in its web edition of the article but also in the print edition. The latter occurred a week later, which is where I discovered it, reading the paper yesterday. I left details and links on the image's talk page at Commons. For the print version, the photo was cropped to approximately square. Both were credited – to "Tedder / CC" – and I don't know whether anyone at WW read the note you left at your Commons user page. Because the headline and date of the print edition's use differed from the online use, I placed some of the details (such as page number) in a hidden note, viewable only in edit mode.

And oh, hey, look at that, his IP resolves to the very same area of New York as that of User:Vegavairbob and his many socks, who was busted and blocked (repeatedly and finally permanently by you) for exactly that behavior on exactly that article.

Hello, Tedder. May I ask if TedderBot can keep User:AlexNewArtBot/GoodSearchResult refreshed, please? The bot is active, but has somehow ignored this page lately. Please have a look. Thank you. -- PFHLai ( talk) 20:24, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

It removed the template http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=David_Rath&diff=494890094&oldid=494788978 why? The template is supposed to stay there, the bot removed it within few hours when I inserted it in article, is that task even approved? What's the point of doing that. I would understand if it removed the template after several days, not hours. Petrb ( talk) 12:06, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
Hi Tedder,

I don't know if this is important, except for people who are doing a new listing on this page and using an existing listing as an example. The individual links to "log" go to the old Alex log links that haven't been updated in a year. I corrected Texas and Hawaii to point to the TedderBot/NewPageSearch/*errors. The rest of them are pointing to the old Alex pages. Perhaps a bot can correct those? Maile66 ( talk) 13:52, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

User:AlexNewArtBot/TexasSearchResult On June 7, the bot picked up an additional 250 articles for the Texas project. And about 130 for the next. The hundreds of one-line articles being created by Thine Antique Pen and by Dipankan001 have absolutely nothing to do with Texas. The phenomenon is happening because they use Texas A & M as a source. It defeats the purpose of having that list if these kinds of edits are crowding the rest out. Is there a tweak you can do to the rules to cut down on this? Can you do something so the bot doesn't pick up the citation sourcing? Your help is appreciated. Maile66 ( talk) 17:46, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

Tbanks. It was a lens replacement. I've also had two laser surgeries in the other eye, both to repair a retinal tear. The lasered eye works quite well, and I think this one will be fine too. What doctors can do is truly amazing. With no treatment for either problem, I'd probably be close to blind in the first eye and heading that way in the second. With new glasses, I hope to be close to 20/20 again by August (knock on wood). I hope your transplants have solved the problem. Finetooth ( talk) 21:06, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
I tried to add some additional information on the two alumni you removed (without making them mini-bios). A high MLB draft pick and major award finalist (who's currently playing in the College WS) and a multi-time national gymnastics champion who was on the national team for six years both seem notable to me (so I made those things explicit). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.84.97.221 ( talk) 02:41, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I see you undid my changes on Pulte Homes for sources not being reliable. Although I do follow you fully for that on Freerepublic.com I do have my doubts on the Youtube video (without any other comments made by 3rd parties that include this video embedded on their own website: didn't use those for that reason). Also their (small) fine and consent-agreement in South Carolina seems sound to me.(reference to that was already made inline in the article; just re-used it)
And as I'm not knowing the ins-and-outs I do want your opinion on the report http://poorlybuiltbypulte.info/20090309_PBBP.pdf which I wanted to add but then had a edit-conflict with you.
As I really don't want to start an edit-war with you, or anyone else, would like your opinion on this PDF report from Building Justitce/Poorly Built by Pulte. The website itself is not "neutral": that's what I can see; but the report seems quite sound.
Your reaction is very welcome and I don't intend to edit the page before hearing from you, Thanks, Tonkie ( talk) 20:00, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

If you looked closer, whoever wrote 14 miles is clearly the one who is incorrect. The original editor cited source number 3 which states 4.1 miles. I simply fixed the typo.

Is Jonah Mowry ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) salted? I guess that's the reason the option to create the page isn't available. Seeing that this person remains a steady focus of mainstream media attention I would like you to open this title up for editing.

I accidentally added information and considered it to be a minor edit. However, I included a link and added information of which is considered a standard edit.

I included the original sources in the rewrite. They were incorporated in to the rewrite. The original article was very dated and originally poorly constructed. I did attempt to follow wiki guidelines for NPOV, but just added new copy, updated info on the park and a few new sources. If the article needs more improvement, please advise.

Minor, but ironic. Connecticut Women's Hall of Fame, created on July 5 and which could not be more blatantly about Connecticut, never shows up on Tedderbot's runs under Connecticut. It has showed up elsewhere, the bot's run on Women's History and Good articles, for instance. I realize this is about the User:AlexNewArtBot/Connecticut that was written years ago. But isn't this the irony of ironies? Maile66 ( talk) 11:41, 6 July 2012 (UTC).
Hi Tedder, I was working on improving new Cambro Manufacturing article that another editor had started, but it looks like you just deleted it.

Thanks, Tedder. I have zero interest in self-promoting at Culver High. A bunch of Culver High alumni were with me and wondered why "their" Olympian was not listed on the page; I was with some wiki editing experience; they wanted me to advance the page with "their" Olympian. So, would you please perhaps review the matter and perhaps improve the article with Culver High's Olympian, as you see fit. Joefaust ( talk) 04:29, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
I am not disagreeing with your action of removing a recent death tag from the Sister Boom Boom page, but since he only died Monday, two days ago - how can it be "stale?" I did read the instructions and since I placed the tag within hours of his death and the obituaries are only being published in major papers today, I still don't see how the tag got outdated. I'm not attacking you, please don't get upset, just I am curious what part of "recent" I missed out on when the event is within the same week? Ellin Beltz ( talk) 18:57, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
I don't mean to be a pain, but how is it that someone who runs a world-renowned program at an Ivy League institution "not notable"? Tim Vasen is very well-known, not only for his work at Princeton but also as a director in theatre. My understanding is that outright deletions of material are a violation of WP policy.

Hello. I appreciate the value of bots but it's kind of hard to discuss their edits with them. Could your bot be configured to not revisit pages (or at least for a long time) or to use a whitelist, where other editors can list pages to be skipped? Otherwise it edit wars without comment or discussion, and without respecting any guidelines (e.g., 3RR). I know the bot only has the best of intentions, but it's just not very good at collaborating. Thanks! guanxi ( talk) 16:32, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
I apologize by responding here to your edit of my edit of the Meritage Homes page. I'm a novice and for the life of me, I can't figure out how to respond to you on my own talk page. It's probably an age/early onset thing. :-)
First, thanks for your welcome and guidance. I have a couple of comments/questions.
It's not clear to me why The Ripoff Report and ConsumeAffairs.com are not legitimate sources while newspapers are. These independent websites contain many complaints about Meritage's building quality and business practices, and they form a pattern. Of course, newspapers will never cover one-off complaints of this type since they're spread across multiple newspaper-markets and are not considered "newsworthy". You seem to have more faith in the accuracy of newspaper coverage than I do. Nevertheless, I will follow your advice and look for newspaper articles, but I'd appreciate it if you would reconsider your decision that the web sites I've cited are not legitimate sources.
Second, I want to bring to your attention that, without an addition like mine, the Meritage Homes page is nothing more than an advertisement. The only citation in the text is to its own web page, and that link is out-of-date. All other links are either to web pages that "document" that and there is such a thing as "real estate development" and there is a city called "Scottsdale, AZ". Other links describe what the Forbes 1000 and the S&P SmallCap Index are without documenting Meritage's claim that they are included in either. Trust them.
The link to the "All-Star Miracle Homes" Wikipedia page is just another advertisement for Meritage. None of the links on this page document that there is, in fact, such an entity, though I agree these Miracle Homes probably exist. The links on the Miracle Homes page, in turn, either go to touts of Meritage's local-market All-Star Miracle Homes or various institutions' and organizations' web pages that do not document Meritage's claims about the All-Star Miracle Homes. Note that this page cites no independent websites that verify Meritage's claims, much less any newspaper articles, apparently your gold standard of verification.
Finally, among the External Links, two are to Meritage's web and Twitter pages, hardly independent verification of anything; HousingNewsNetwork.com, simply a search engine which didn't turn up anything on Meritage when I tired it today; and financial information on Google and Yahoo.
Meritage has done nothing more than pile link on to link to make it APPEAR they've provided independent verification supporting their page. In fact, there's nothing there.
What can be done about this ?
Best,
BMO — Preceding unsigned comment added by BellaMontagniaHomeowner ( talk • contribs) 15:09, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
I agree that I must come up with sources that meet Wikipedia standards in order to get my edit approved. No Issue there.
My question is this: Do articles that are purely promotional in nature with no verification other than sources that are self-generated meet Wikipedia standards? If so, wow. If not, are they removed, and shouldn't this one be removed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by BellaMontagniaHomeowner ( talk • contribs) 00:08, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
I have no problem with seeing the article deleted and then Meritage coming back with a new one that cites verifiable sources, is less flagrantly promotional, and removes the links that on the surface appear to provide support for their claims but in fact do not. Cheers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BellaMontagniaHomeowner ( talk • contribs) 04:42, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
I remember inquiring a while back about whether or not the bot could leave the front or back of each line alone so that I could mark items as unrelated.

Hello. I am not sure if I should post here or over at User:AlexNewArtBot. In any case, I notice that " Blinking colloidal nanocrystals" was not picked up and posted by the User:AlexNewArtBot/PhysicsSearchResult for artcle alerts. FYI this article did start out as " Colloidal nanocrystals" but was moved to its present title. Would it be possible to post Blinking colloidal nanocrystals to the relevant search bot? In this case it would be physics and engineering. I also notice there are no links to this article from any project. Do you know what this is about? ---- Steve Quinn ( talk) 04:56, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi Tedder. First, thanks for comments and helping me understand the wiki-verse. I think the atheist group label for FFRF is incorrect. The group has two purposes A) to keep church and state separate (B) to "educate the public on matters of nontheism." I understand that Wikipedia should not just accept any group's self-identification, but atheist is a pretty narrow term. It also suggests that the members and employees are all atheists which is not true. The rejection of religion and religious dogma as a way of thinking is simply not atheism. Atheism is a lack of belief in god. Freethought on the other hand is a positive (as in standing for something and not the absence of something) definition that encompasses atheism, agnosticism, nontheism, and even state/church separation. "Freethought group" is a broader term that encompasses all of FFRF's stated goals and purposes whereas "atheist group" doesn't really encompass any. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Hi Tedder,
I noted you deleted an attempt to setup a "Satellite Direct" article in March of 2011, and I commend you for that. Since I'm not an administrator, I haven't been able to see whatever "ad" was attempted by them back then, but I have no doubt that this "somewhat scuzzy" company was attempting to use Wikipedia as one of their advertising platforms for what I see as their very heavily "hyped up" and somewhat misleading advertising campaign.
Having said that, I have recently become a subscriber of theirs, and I do believe that their company isn't "total scuz". There is a certain element of value in their product, even though the value of their product is not very well represented by their hyped-up ad campaign. They've now been around for a couple of years, and a Google search on their name now yields nearly 2 million hits. Also, there is currently much confusion on the internet where their name gets mixed up with a magazine that goes by that same name, as well as the dish satellite company "DirecTV". Therefor, I think that it may be time to restart an article about them, to be vigilant to prevent any of their minions from commandeering their article for their own advert. purposes (as I'm sure they will attempt at least once or twice), and to set up a good disambiguation page to clarify which company is what.
What do you think?
Thanks,

Ahoy there! Since your bot has superseded the AlexNewArtBot, I'm directing this question to you. I notice that in the current rules for AlexNewArtBot/Chile, the ruleset does not flag new Chile articles that have a Chile project template on their talk pages (unless I missed something), and the bot should probably do that. Since the bot creator is banned but the bot appears to still be working, do you know to whom this query should be directed, or can/would you fix it?

Hi-I was looking at the new articles at WikiProject Wisconsin and there are two articles entries that are scramble, not complete. Would you please look at this. The bot lists new articles about Wisconsin and Milwaukee there. Thank you- RFD ( talk) 19:55, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
I notice that the Cheshire search archive stopped displaying new items properly in November last year, but on investigation it looks as if the problem might just be a limit to the number of entries per page that the la & user templates will expand. Would it be ok to move old entries to a subpage, to get around this problem? Cheers, Espresso Addict ( talk) 17:00, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

User:AlexNewArtBot/EducationSearchResult contains many articles that are only indirectly related to education. This list would be more useful to me if all the articles related to sports were listed separately, perhaps in

Hello, Tedder,
About the following webpage: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Allen_radiation_belt
The last part of the first paragraph reads: "There are three distinct belts, with energetic electrons forming the outer belt and a combination of protons and electrons forming the inner belt. In addition, the radiation belts contain lesser amounts of other nuclei, such as alpha particles. The belts pose a hazard to satellites, which must protect their sensitive components with adequate shielding if their orbit spends significant time in the radiation belts."
Well, it seems to me that there are two belts. If you read carefully the last part of the first paragraph, and then see the draw in the right side of the webpage...
A part of the Spanish section of the Wikipedia
http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinturones_de_Van_Allen
reads: "Hay dos cinturones de Van Allen:...". (There are two Van Allen belts:...").
Frankly, I do not know who is right and who is wrong.

I recently reviewed User:TedderBot/NewPageSearch/Good/errors and noticed that the entry for National colours of Canada received a score of -50 for containing the pattern "\{\{or". Perhaps the pattern should be amended, as it catches {{ or}} (rightfully so) but also {{ orphan}} (perhaps unintentionally). I don't think the latter affects page quality to the same extent as the former, so should be re-weighted or eliminated. The bot also mistakenly catches the pattern "\Wlist" within the URL of a ref ("/list" in this case). Mind matrix 13:32, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

I don't know if it is viable for Tedderbot to tag the talkpages of the NewArticles with appropriate Wikiprojects, as in most cases it return perfect results. I guess using the same dataset and codes (I am not from a computer background) after some modifications, it will be able to add those tags very easily.

Dear Mr. Tedder,
I am writing to you this letter, as there is a major problem and I believe that you are the best person to talk to about it.
First of all I would like to make a few comments on the profile that you have in wikipedia, telling you that I find it very smart.
In fact I chose to write to you out of a large number of administrators, as it seems that we have a lot of things in common. Unfortunately you are not mentioning anything about your motorcycles, but I would like you to know, that I am a great fun of them too, that's why I have an old collective BMW and a Honda of 1988 (both of them are in absolutely perfect condition).
The reason that I am communicating you, is because someone that was using the name : "Panagiotis Xenos-Kokoletsis" appears in a number of pages in wikipedia and this is a major problem for me, as it is creating a confusion that turned out whenever I have applied for a job, because all of the employers are asking me whether this person is me.
I would like to tell you, that this name is extremely rare, as we are only four people in the whole planet with this name (me and three cousins of mine) .
The problem though, is that I am keep on loosing job positions, as the employers can not know whether this person is me, or not. As you can understand this has as a consequence that I can not cope with the financial obligations that I have towards my family.
I will kindly ask you to delete these pages from wikipedia, as can not do it myself.
The links for two of them, that I found just now are the following :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:AlexNewArtBot/GreeceSearchResult/archive15 http://wpedia.goo.ne.jp/enwiki/User_talk:Panagiotis_Xenos-Kokoletsis

Hi,
You salted The Stunners, after it was repeatedly deleted. Another editor has created a new article at The Stunners (group), and there's a request to move it to The Stunners.
I've not checked thoroughly, but from my quick glance, I think the new article is suitable for Wikipedia (or at least none of the previous reasons for deletion apply now). I've gone into a little more detail at Talk:The Stunners (group)#Requested move.
I wanted to point this discussion out to you, as you're the person who salted the article, and performed two of the deletions.

Dear Tedder:
I'm writing with regard to the "Alex new art bot". I've noticed that for many of the articles I've written, clicking on the "What links here" utility yields a large number pages created by your bot. Obviously, these cannot serve to provide readers with any further information about the topics of the articles. Also, after a certain point the articles are no longer "new".
It occurred to me that the "What links here" utility, which I use a great deal, could be made more useful if, after some decent interval, you removed the pages created by your bot. (I'm fully aware that I could alter my Preferences to keep these pages from popping up, but I suspect that the average Wikipedia reader does not know this.)
So, what would you think of taking the older pages down?
Yours sincerely, Opus33 ( talk) 19:03, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
Tedder, I'm seeing here you're having trouble with the bot. Just want to confirm. It looks to me like Women's History Project and Wikiproject Texas have not been updated since March, and WikiProject Hawaii has not been updated since early April. It's OK if they haven't because of the issues you've had with the bot. But I just want to confirm if those time periods seem about right to you. Thanks for your time. — Maile ( talk) 00:05, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi, tedder. I've been reading the previous posts here (and your replies) over the past month, and more than once I decided there was no need for me to leave a message about tedderbot, because it appeared that if I just remained patient, eventually the bot would get back to updating the following WikiProject Oregon page: Wikipedia:WikiProject Oregon/Admin — which is the page that logs all new or renamed articles to enable them to appear in the various "recent changes" lists for the project. However, from the most recent posts here, I'm starting to wonder if that page got overlooked; it was last updated on April 28. If the bot isn't ready to get back to automatic (daily) updates, at least a manual update once every week or two would be welcome, if practical. As everyone else here often says (but it's true), the bot is very useful. Thanks. SJ Morg ( talk) 11:12, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

Hello, Great to see these listings running again. Thank you! Regarding the 'Forestry' new articles search, I note that the listings have not been particularly useful. Looking at the search terms, I think it might, in part, be because of the inclusion of the term 'wood' in the search terms. It simply turns up too many things! E.g. 'Woodlawn' 'wood structure' etc. Could you please remove that particular search term from future 'Forestry' new article searches? Then perhaps we'll see if there are any other problematic search terms, too. Thanks, DA Sonnenfeld ( talk) 18:31, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

FYI, Willamette Week used your photo of Central Catholic High School, and not only in its web edition of the article but also in the print edition. The latter occurred a week later, which is where I discovered it, reading the paper yesterday. I left details and links on the image's talk page at Commons. For the print version, the photo was cropped to approximately square. Both were credited – to "Tedder / CC" – and I don't know whether anyone at WW read the note you left at your Commons user page. Because the headline and date of the print edition's use differed from the online use, I placed some of the details (such as page number) in a hidden note, viewable only in edit mode.
