Hi The Earwig,
I would like to request that talk pages for articles within the scope of WP:WBB be tagged with both
Basketball: Women's NA‑class | ||||||||||
|
Women's sport: Basketball NA‑class | ||||||||||
|
Do you need additional information and/or should I post this request somewhere else?

For about the last three days, lowercase sigmabot III has only been archiving the Administrator's noticeboards and nothing else. Somebody mentioned that you gave it a good kick the last time it went on the fritz, so I will go ahead and notify you. Safiel ( talk) 16:37, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
Hello Ben, hope you are well. I just thought I'd let you know that the Copyvio Detector is not functioning all that well thae last couple of days, timing out on just about every comparison. ("The URL https://www.dvfu.ru/en/about/ timed out before any data could be retrieved", for example.) Even times out on simple, short webpages of the type that it's usually able to access easily. Any assistance appreciated. Thanks, — Diannaa ( talk) 13:34, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi, @ The Earwig! You seem to be the most active operator for one of the Category:WikiProject tagging bots so I hope this isn't a bother. I'm overseeing the newly created WP:WikiProject AfroCreatives now and would like to disseminate {{ WikiProject AfroCreatives}} through our targeted articles in the AfroCreatives categories with all subcategories included. We are willing to make use of auto assessment and to inherit it from existing WP banners too. The template already accommodates this. I would very much appreciate your help.

Hi,
(Sorry if this is the wrong forum for asking, but if so, perhaps you could point me in the right direction?)
I use the Copyvio Detector (great tool, BTW!) in checking new AfC drafts, at least a dozen times most days. I sometimes get an error message saying that the detector has exceeded its maximum allowed Google searches. This issue has always been there, occasionally, but in the last week or two it has occurred daily. When I start reviewing, around 6am or so UK time, the first few reviews always hit this problem. Then, maybe 8am (?) the daily quota probably gets reset, or something else happens, because from then onwards everything is fine until the next morning.
So I was thinking, I don't suppose there's much we can do to increase the quota (?), but would it be possible to add another search engine as a fallback option? Either so that when the user gets that error message, they could manually tick a box to use Bing (say) instead; or maybe the Detector could automatically switch to using the alternative if Google has failed.
I realise this may not be possible, either for technical or policy reasons, but thought I'd ask at least. Cheers, -- DoubleGrazing ( talk) 09:35, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
