Hello there.
Hi, wasn't sure how to message you but i figure you can delete this as soon as you read it. I just wanted to let you know that I originally started the 'Sentence Function' article (you can check this yourself) and was merely reverting my two interrogatives back to what they were originally as I need two separate examples: 'what do you want?' is an example of a question procurring previously unknown information, while 'is david gay?' is a question validation for a preconceived notion. This is not any form of tagging. Thank you.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Nimic86 ( talk • contribs) 00:00, 3 November 2009

Dear Tim, thanks for your offer of help with my article on D.G.E. Hall. I have to admit that I am completely new to writing and editing Wikipedia articles. I did try to study and follow all guidelines but it seems I am not getting it right. I believe the subject matter is of interest: D.G.E. Hall wrote the definitive history on SE Asia and was the leading authority on the region at the time when world focused on Vietnam, Cambodia, etc.
I realise I need a couple more references and will get them soon.
I have posted a photograph of D.G.E Hall to Wikimedia Commons, I now need to work out how to use this in the article.
Thanks very much for your offer of help. I greatly appreciate it. Chriseve ( talk) 00:05, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I am participating in an edit war, I admit, but bear in mind that not only I but also is the IP 69.125.77.106 which is also participating in the edit war. I knew something about this would happen, but tell me not only to me, Tell the IP, which is not only in this war, but also insists that placing a redirection is invalid.

Hello dear comrade. This same user has been creating multiple accounts and hasn't stopped hounding my edits or user page for the last 5 years. I don't know how to deal with this problem. His ip addresses are synonymous with 166.137.6.132, 166.137.8.158, 166.137.6.25, 166.137.9.58. All have a 166.137 denomination. He also uses other computers and runs around to annoy and instigate problems from different accounts. I've tried to avoid it entirely in the past, but what he does is put up afd (article for deletion) proposals on many of the articles I've worked on, or even deletes much of my information, or just plain vandalizes my user and talk page. I don't know why this person does this, but is there a way to block this person entirely from editing in a way that we can avoid this problem entirely. He instigates me to revert his vandalism and I've been blocked before for breaking the 3rr rule on numerous articles; where I've reverted his madness over 3 times; and that's resulted in my being blocked before. I seriously want to avoid that dilemma, so I'm hoping my asking for help doesn't fall on deaf ears. There has to be a way to stop this person from vandalizing and adding nonsense and gibberish on my user and talk pages. I appreciate any and all help I can receive. - Zarbon ( talk) 14:40, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

You may not know that there is currently a discussion at WT:CITE about whether replacing duplicate footnotes with "named" footnotes should be required. That discussion needs to conclude before anyone can discuss the order of footnotes, because the use of named footnotes is the only way to cause footnotes to appear out of numerical order in the first place. I do agree that, once the issue of named footnotes is resolved, the issue of numerical order should also be addressed. WP:CITE is the appropriate page to discuss requirements on formatting of references. — Carl ( CBM · talk) 13:12, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on File:Biosynthesis of nonproteinogenic amino acid (SVG).svg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}}
to the top of
the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on
the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

I know its nearly inevitable when using AWB or something similar that when one has altered many pages, not to look too carefully at what is being altered, but please be careful in the case of this edit you altered spellings within a {{ quotation}}.

That wasn't a vandalism edit; artificial sweeteners are proven to be worse for your health than sugar. Also, if you look at your revision, you restored the vandalism that I corrected a few days ago. Why? 98.216.203.117 ( talk) 02:53, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
. It is important to cite anything and everything that you change in the encyclopedia. I restored the vandalism by accident (removed again here) because when I hit "revert" it reverts to the last revision that wasn't yours. In other words, it was my screw up.

The way to process these is by scanning them which is actually pretty quick. The articles "only" dump takes between eight minutes and an hour, depending on what I am doing with it - probably it could be sped up more. I use perl, I can write a script in a few minutes from scratcch and if it is one I already have something similar, even quicker. For example I was trying to find a language stub I created, the following code listed all where I am the last editor. (Didn't actually find the stub, but that's another story.)
while(<>){ chomp; if(/<title>(.*)<\/title>/){$title=$1;} if(/<username>(.*)<\/username>/){ if($1 eq "Rich Farmbrough"){ $mine=1; } else {$mine=0;} } if ($mine ==1 && /lang-stub/){print "$title\n";} }

Hi Tim1357, and thanks for your interest in igloo. Before using the program, please read the following information carefully - failure to do so may result in your test access being revoked.
igloo is a JavaScript-powered, browser-based anti-vandalism tool, which means you do not have to download or install anything on your computer and it will work on multiple operating systems. However, it does mean that the performance relies on that of your browser and it may operate more slowly than downloaded programs. You must have either Mozilla Firefox 3+ or Google Chrome to use igloo, as it is currently incompatible with other browsers.
igloo relies on a system called iglooNet to assist you in finding and reverting vandalism. It is this system that transforms the program from a pretty version of recent changes to an actual anti-vandalism tool. Naturally, this is beyond the power of a client-side program, and igloo will regularly communicate with an external, non-Wikimedia server. Because of things like server logs, and the iglooNet abuse tracker, this may allow your IP address to be attached to your username - something which is otherwise impossible on Wikipedia. If you do not want this to happen, you MUST NOT USE IGLOO.
If you decide that you do want to test igloo, please keep in mind that it not wholly stable, and you may experience problems where it performs an invalid edit, or other unwanted action. If this happens, fix any mistakes you've made, apologise to anyone you've offended, and let me know. I don't take any responsibility for your use of the program - if you aren't willing to fix any errors, don't use it.
igloo is already quite powerful. The following is a simple guide to using the program:
If you have any questions, comments, suggestions or other feedback, I'd love to know. If you hate it, and won't be using it again, please let me know why - and I'll remove you from the test whitelist. If you now try and use igloo, you should find that it will allow you to use the program. Thanks, and good luck! Ale_Jrb talk 10:42, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

} It recently moved, as t will, a page with a - in the title to a page with a – in the title. That's fine, I expect. It is pedantic because someone decided to be pedantic with the hyphens. Go them! And your implementation helps them be pedantic. I happen to find that rather silly, but doubtless a consensus developed for the idea, and ordinary mortals now need to remember something else. But that is a rant that belongs somewhere else.
What it didn't spot/doesn't spot, perhaps cannot spot, is that there was a navigational template on the page that referred to the old article name.
I know a redirect will always handle this, but we have become used to those templates showing the current page in 'bold, and this will not happen with a redirect. So I edited the template and all is well. Not that it was not well before my edit, but it just wasn't 100% well.
In case you wonder which edit I'm talking about, it was to Navy League in Australia and the Sea Cadets - Early History, but many such edits will have nav templates

I received a notification from the bot about missing references. I am not aware how you programmed it, but it does fail to check the links that I provided along with a respective article about one or the other person. Maybe the bot needs to be checked or let me know how I can avoid him.

I stumbled on a bot message in my watchlist and thought it a great idea, but you might want to link to [[Category:All unreferenced BLPs]] somewhere in the message so people (like me) who might be willing to attack the backlog can find it easily.

Yo Tim, it seems from the above page that there have been a few false positives and otherwise off-key reports from DASHBot on the unsourced BLP task. While a certain number of these are unavoidable in an automated process, might I suggest you tone down the wording of the reports in order to avoid rubbing contributors the wrong way? Instead of "I am a bot alerting you that x of the articles that you created is an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person.", you might write "appear(s) to be an unsourced biography of a living person" or "has/have been tagged as an unsourced biography of a living person".

While dictionaries have been slowly allowing insure to mean ensure, the two words have drastically different meanings, and keeping them distinct in text is preferable (read: I feel pain whenever I read insure where ensure was the appropriate word). If you're not talking about insurance, you want ensure.

I'm not here to complain about getting a message considering the articles it notified me about are without references (there's external links however, but that's not the point). But I am here to ask if there's anyway for the bot to determine if the editor is new and doesn't need the "Thanks for contributions!" and the links to BLP policies considering I've been a regular contributor since Sep. 08 and don't need the newbie type welcome. If this is impossible then no worries. Cheers,-- Giants 27( Contribs| WP:CFL) 23:38, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

In theory, this looks like a good idea, unfortunately, notifying the article creator rather than those who add substantial content might not really be all that helpful in older articles. For example, I was notified about Ajay Jadeja. After I deleted it as a clear copyvio in 2005, I created a tiny stub since it seemed clear the person was notable. The article has obviously grown a great deal since then; as I hoped, someone with interest in the subject came along and fleshed things out. I'm very unlikely to return and do any work on the article; there are probably other articles out there that are similar due to my work with copyvios on Wikipedia. Anyways, thought it might be helpful to think about whether or not notifying folks about stubs or articles they worked on several years ago is really going to be useful; many editors don't stick around that long and it makes me wonder if a lot of these messages will just go unread.

Hi! I've been semi-following the debate regarding the relocation of album ratings, so it's no surprise to see your bot now implementing these changes. However, there's a couple of issues that you may or may not be aware of and I just wanted to bring them to your attention (sorry if this isn't the right place to do this). Firstly, when the bot creates a new "Reception" section and adds the "Professional ratings" box, if the article has no inline refs (and therefore no references tag), you get a red warning message at the bottom of the page. I know that articles should have inline refs and a ref section but in the real world, an awful lot of them don’t. Secondly, I thought that the bot was supposed to search to see if there was already a section heading with the word "Reception" in it, but in the Led Zeppelin article the bot seems to have stuck the ratings box in the "Recording and production" section - how come?
Thirdly, isn’t arbitrarily creating a Reception section going to cause a huge amount of work for Wikipedians where smaller, stub size articles are concerned? Chances are that these articles won’t have a dedicated section specifically dealing with the album’s reception and that means that someone’s got to then relocate the relevant few sentences or paragraph to the newly created section. I’ve just done this in the wake of a DASHBot edit over on the Simon and Garfunkel's Greatest Hits article and while it's not a big deal for one article, I can see this creating an awful lot of work for Wikipedians in the long run. Just my tupence on the matter though, you understand?
My last point is actually a request and is related to the issue of the bot locating a "Prefessional ratings" box if a Reception section if one already exists; I see from the discussion at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Albums#Bot-work that someone asked if the bot could be programmed to recognize phrases like "Release and reception", "Reviews", "Reception and aftermath", "Promotion and reception", and "Critical reception". I would also like to suggest titles with the word "Legacy" in them, like "Release and legacy". Many thanks! -- Kohoutek1138 ( talk) 03:49, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
Hi, Tim. I just got notified by the bot, which in general I think is useful (in my case, I'd written those articles many years ago and had entirely forgotten about them, though there was very little in them to be sourced). There is one thing, though, that I wanted to point out. The bot's talk page message currently says, "Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced." Now, many people have suggested that should be the case, but currently it is not part of policy. The policy is, "Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced—whether the material is negative, positive, or just questionable—should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion," which is rather different. Currently your bot might give the impression that it's enforcing a policy that doesn't exist, which seems drama-inducing--perhaps a more conservative wording would be a good idea? Just a suggestion. Chick Bowen 01:07, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
Ask any questions/express any more concerns that you have; I'm glad to hear them. Tim1357 ( talk) 02:27, 3 January 2010 (UTC)Material about living persons must be sourced very carefully. Without reliable third-party sources, it may include original research and unverifiable statements, and could lead to libel claims.
Thanks for your quick response to my earlier post. So now the issue for today... ; ) The bot doesn't recognize when the earliest edits in an article's history are completely unrelated to the BLP content. Regarding this BLP noticefor Capone (rapper), I never edited that article or even that title. In 2006, I moved the existing Capone to Capone (disambiguation), and then made Capone a redirect to Al Capone. Two years later, someone else changed that redirect into an article on the rapper Capone, which was then moved to Capone (rapper) recently (see history here). All rather convoluted. But perhaps you could program your bot to ignore edits that are only redirects, so that the "creator" is then the first non-redirect edit in the article's history? postdlf ( talk) 23:40, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Rather than telling me about BLPunreferenced pages, you'd be better off looking into who has been doing improper copy-and-paste moves which make it appear that the creation of a redirect is the first thing that was done in an article.
I'd guess that somewhere among the redirects to these articles, you will find one with a considerable history which will help you identify the creators of these articles:
Maybe some of those improper moves should be fixed too; do you know whose attention to call that to? Gene Nygaard ( talk) 18:54, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Hello dear comrade. This same user has been creating multiple accounts and hasn't stopped hounding my edits or user page for the last 5 years. I don't know how to deal with this problem. His ip addresses are synonymous with 166.137.6.132, 166.137.8.158, 166.137.6.25, 166.137.9.58. All have a 166.137 denomination. He also uses other computers and runs around to annoy and instigate problems from different accounts. I've tried to avoid it entirely in the past, but what he does is put up afd (article for deletion) proposals on many of the articles I've worked on, or even deletes much of my information, or just plain vandalizes my user and talk page. I don't know why this person does this, but is there a way to block this person entirely from editing in a way that we can avoid this problem entirely. He instigates me to revert his vandalism and I've been blocked before for breaking the 3rr rule on numerous articles; where I've reverted his madness over 3 times; and that's resulted in my being blocked before. I seriously want to avoid that dilemma, so I'm hoping my asking for help doesn't fall on deaf ears.

You may not know that there is currently a discussion at WT:CITE about whether replacing duplicate footnotes with "named" footnotes should be required. That discussion needs to conclude before anyone can discuss the order of footnotes, because the use of named footnotes is the only way to cause footnotes to appear out of numerical order in the first place. I do agree that, once the issue of named footnotes is resolved, the issue of numerical order should also be addressed.

to the top of
the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on
the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay.

OK, first you claim every point has to be NPOV but then it appears that's only if you don't like what's being said, you can't have both a NPOV and controversy, that's obvious, so the section needs to go period, also throughout the article non NPOV is stated as well which was removed as well as mere lies, non Col. developes this game a team of programmers does, get you heads out of your asses your waring period!—Preceding

The way to process these is by scanning them which is actually pretty quick. The articles "only" dump takes between eight minutes and an hour, depending on what I am doing with it - probably it could be sped up more. I use perl, I can write a script in a few minutes from scratcch and if it is one I already have something similar, even quicker. For example I was trying to find a language stub I created, the following code listed all where I am the last editor. (Didn't actually find the stub, but that's another story.)
while(<>){ chomp; if(/<title>(.*)<\/title>/){$title=$1;} if(/<username>(.*)<\/username>/){ if($1 eq "Rich Farmbrough"){ $mine=1; } else {$mine=0;} } if ($mine ==1 && /lang-stub/){print "$title\n";} }

Hi Tim1357, and thanks for your interest in igloo. Before using the program, please read the following information carefully - failure to do so may result in your test access being revoked.
igloo is a JavaScript-powered, browser-based anti-vandalism tool, which means you do not have to download or install anything on your computer and it will work on multiple operating systems. However, it does mean that the performance relies on that of your browser and it may operate more slowly than downloaded programs. You must have either Mozilla Firefox 3+ or Google Chrome to use igloo, as it is currently incompatible with other browsers.
igloo relies on a system called iglooNet to assist you in finding and reverting vandalism. It is this system that transforms the program from a pretty version of recent changes to an actual anti-vandalism tool. Naturally, this is beyond the power of a client-side program, and igloo will regularly communicate with an external, non-Wikimedia server. Because of things like server logs, and the iglooNet abuse tracker, this may allow your IP address to be attached to your username - something which is otherwise impossible on Wikipedia. If you do not want this to happen, you MUST NOT USE IGLOO.
If you decide that you do want to test igloo, please keep in mind that it not wholly stable, and you may experience problems where it performs an invalid edit, or other unwanted action. If this happens, fix any mistakes you've made, apologise to anyone you've offended, and let me know. I don't take any responsibility for your use of the program - if you aren't willing to fix any errors, don't use it.
igloo is already quite powerful. The following is a simple guide to using the program:
If you have any questions, comments, suggestions or other feedback, I'd love to know. If you hate it, and won't be using it again, please let me know why - and I'll remove you from the test whitelist. If you now try and use igloo, you should find that it will allow you to use the program. Thanks, and good luck! Ale_Jrb talk 10:42, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

} It recently moved, as t will, a page with a - in the title to a page with a – in the title. That's fine, I expect. It is pedantic because someone decided to be pedantic with the hyphens. Go them! And your implementation helps them be pedantic. I happen to find that rather silly, but doubtless a consensus developed for the idea, and ordinary mortals now need to remember something else. But that is a rant that belongs somewhere else.
What it didn't spot/doesn't spot, perhaps cannot spot, is that there was a navigational template on the page that referred to the old article name.
I know a redirect will always handle this, but we have become used to those templates showing the current page in 'bold, and this will not happen with a redirect. So I edited the template and all is well. Not that it was not well before my edit, but it just wasn't 100% well.
In case you wonder which edit I'm talking about, it was to Navy League in Australia and the Sea Cadets - Early History, but many such edits will have nav templates

Yo Tim, it seems from the above page that there have been a few false positives and otherwise off-key reports from DASHBot on the unsourced BLP task. While a certain number of these are unavoidable in an automated process, might I suggest you tone down the wording of the reports in order to avoid rubbing contributors the wrong way? Instead of "I am a bot alerting you that x of the articles that you created is an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person.", you might write "appear(s) to be an unsourced biography of a living person" or "has/have been tagged as an unsourced biography of a living person".

Would you, when you have a chance, please change the text of the warning to "to ensure verifiability" rather than "to insure verifiability"? While dictionaries have been slowly allowing insure to mean ensure, the two words have drastically different meanings, and keeping them distinct in text is preferable (read: I feel pain whenever I read insure where ensure was the appropriate word). If you're not talking about insurance, you want ensure.

In theory, this looks like a good idea, unfortunately, notifying the article creator rather than those who add substantial content might not really be all that helpful in older articles. For example, I was notified about Ajay Jadeja. After I deleted it as a clear copyvio in 2005, I created a tiny stub since it seemed clear the person was notable. The article has obviously grown a great deal since then; as I hoped, someone with interest in the subject came along and fleshed things out. I'm very unlikely to return and do any work on the article; there are probably other articles out there that are similar due to my work with copyvios on Wikipedia. Anyways, thought it might be helpful to think about whether or not notifying folks about stubs or articles they worked on several years ago is really going to be useful; many editors don't stick around that long and it makes me wonder if a lot of these messages will just go unread. Shell babelfish 10:16, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
Hi! I've been semi-following the debate regarding the relocation of album ratings, so it's no surprise to see your bot now implementing these changes. However, there's a couple of issues that you may or may not be aware of and I just wanted to bring them to your attention (sorry if this isn't the right place to do this). Firstly, when the bot creates a new "Reception" section and adds the "Professional ratings" box, if the article has no inline refs (and therefore no references tag), you get a red warning message at the bottom of the page. I know that articles should have inline refs and a ref section but in the real world, an awful lot of them don’t. Secondly, I thought that the bot was supposed to search to see if there was already a section heading with the word "Reception" in it, but in the Led Zeppelin article the bot seems to have stuck the ratings box in the "Recording and production" section - how come?
Thirdly, isn’t arbitrarily creating a Reception section going to cause a huge amount of work for Wikipedians where smaller, stub size articles are concerned? Chances are that these articles won’t have a dedicated section specifically dealing with the album’s reception and that means that someone’s got to then relocate the relevant few sentences or paragraph to the newly created section. I’ve just done this in the wake of a DASHBot edit over on the Simon and Garfunkel's Greatest Hits article and while it's not a big deal for one article, I can see this creating an awful lot of work for Wikipedians in the long run. Just my tupence on the matter though, you understand?
My last point is actually a request and is related to the issue of the bot locating a "Prefessional ratings" box if a Reception section if one already exists; I see from the discussion at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Albums#Bot-work that someone asked if the bot could be programmed to recognize phrases like "Release and reception", "Reviews", "Reception and aftermath", "Promotion and reception", and "Critical reception". I would also like to suggest titles with the word "Legacy" in them, like "Release and legacy". Many thanks! -- Kohoutek1138 ( talk) 03:49, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
Hi, Tim. I just got notified by the bot, which in general I think is useful (in my case, I'd written those articles many years ago and had entirely forgotten about them, though there was very little in them to be sourced). There is one thing, though, that I wanted to point out. The bot's talk page message currently says, "Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced." Now, many people have suggested that should be the case, but currently it is not part of policy. The policy is, "Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced—whether the material is negative, positive, or just questionable—should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion," which is rather different. Currently your bot might give the impression that it's enforcing a policy that doesn't exist, which seems drama-inducing--perhaps a more conservative wording would be a good idea? Just a suggestion. Chick Bowen 01:07, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
Ask any questions/express any more concerns that you have; I'm glad to hear them. Tim1357 ( talk) 02:27, 3 January 2010 (UTC)Material about living persons must be sourced very carefully. Without reliable third-party sources, it may include original research and unverifiable statements, and could lead to libel claims.
Thanks for your quick response to my earlier post. So now the issue for today... ; ) The bot doesn't recognize when the earliest edits in an article's history are completely unrelated to the BLP content. Regarding this BLP noticefor Capone (rapper), I never edited that article or even that title. In 2006, I moved the existing Capone to Capone (disambiguation), and then made Capone a redirect to Al Capone. Two years later, someone else changed that redirect into an article on the rapper Capone, which was then moved to Capone (rapper) recently (see history here). All rather convoluted. But perhaps you could program your bot to ignore edits that are only redirects, so that the "creator" is then the first non-redirect edit in the article's history? postdlf ( talk) 23:40, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Rather than telling me about BLPunreferenced pages, you'd be better off looking into who has been doing improper copy-and-paste moves which make it appear that the creation of a redirect is the first thing that was done in an article.
I'd guess that somewhere among the redirects to these articles, you will find one with a considerable history which will help you identify the creators of these articles:
