Hi Soxred. Sorry again for for not using the bug report, but I don't want a google account. I get an "maximum execution time" error, when I set an end date. However, I'e noticed that here (line130) it says "endn" instead of "end". Maybe that already fixes the problem. Thanks for the great tool! -- ACNiklas ( talk) 16:40, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
Could you expand this tool with a dropdown menue so that it can be used also in other wikipedias like the german one? -- FalconL ( talk) 19:30, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi, I asked you about this back in September.
At that time, I observed that:
You expressed a different point of view:
I have full and absolute confidence that you know what you're doing, but since September, I have still seen maybe 3 users besides me using the detailed breakdown feature.
Anecdotal evidence, true, but engineers are accustomed to making observations, and reporting same.
I am always surprised when someone has enabled it.
My actual point:
I like your feature. (Obviously.)
For the past few months, I have been doing most of my work in frwiki and svwiki to avoid crossing the dreaded enwiki 45K threshold and shutting down my favourite feature.
So, is the threshold still active?
And if it is, that is simply the way it's gotta be, eh?

Ah... now I re-read it, what it says at Wikipedia:Editcounter#MediaWiki_features_and_extensions doesn't conflict. Very confusing for simple minds like mine. Where is the documentation on your edit counter? I looked and couldn't find it. -- Dweller ( talk) 11:06, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
Why have several parties at the SAQ ArbCom case been allowed to exceed the 1000 word limit? I worked very hard to live within the rules. Others seem to have been given extra space. And one [1], has posted a link on the evidence page to his "statement" of over 1600 words? Is this fair?
A side question - is this flaunting of the rules taken into consideration by the arbitrators in terms of editorial behavior? Smatprt ( talk) 04:22, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi, could your bot clean the Wikipedia:Introduction as it does with the sandbox. This preferably has to be left editable so that users can see the edit button, to which the intro refers, but it's still edited quite often despite the editnotice which asks not to. If we use PC on it, we can prevent readers from seeing edits but editors still have to revert all those edits, so it would be great if a bot could 'reset' the intro. Cenarium ( talk) 21:18, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
I left this question for AGK, but since he is gone for a few days, I have been advised by Bishonen to approach Brad and an arbitrator.

Hi X! It looks like the tool at http://toolserver.org/~soxred93/rfap is no longer working. Every username I try returns "Invalid user!"

I have a request for your Soxbot. Please either:
I moved your comment, or copied it, to the RfA discussion page. As you've essentially said nothing, I don't think it belongs in the candidate's RfA. I responded as best as possible, which is not possible, because you've given no clue as to your confusion. While I don't think that the candidate is qualified for adminship based upon her answer to a particular question, she appears to be a solid editor in good standing with the community and does not deserve for her RfA to be sidetracked by off-topic commentaries directed to other editors. Please discuss there if necessary. -- Kleopatra ( talk) 01:09, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi,
With regard to this revert, the template has been criticized (externally and on the GLAM email list) for using a url that can be shortened. I understand the policy of direct links being preferable on Wikipedia, but in the case of QR codes the recommended design approach is to use as short a url a possible (often generating special short-cut links) so that the 2D image is as simple and readable as possible for printing on a label. I would be happy to add some explanation to the template documentation to this effect. See wm-outreach and WP:GLAM/DER. Thanks Fæ ( talk) 12:27, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi,
Thanks for being one of SuggestBot's users! I hope you have found the bot's suggestions useful.
We are in the process of switching from our previous list-based signup process to using templates and userboxes, and I have therefore added the appropriate template to your user talk page. You should receive the first set of suggestions within a day, and since we'll be automating SuggestBot you will from then on continue to receive them regularly at the desired frequency.
We now also have a userbox that you can use to let others know you're using SuggestBot, and if you don't want to clutter your user talk page the bot can post to a sub-page in your userspace. More information about the userbox and usage of the template is available on User:SuggestBot/Getting Recommendations Regularly.
If there are any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me on my user talk page. Thanks again, Nettrom ( talk) 16:12, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

This is a slightly eccentric way of doing it, but with a big advantage: One can use this as input in various templates, to quickly find out any sort of information you need to know. For instance, {{ReturnType|{{Wikipedia:Today's Featured Whatever/2011-04-10}}}} could check which type something is. This can be used to easily make an archive containing just the pictures, by using the code
{{#ifeq:{{ReturnType|{{Wikipedia:Today's Featured Whatever/2011-04-10}}}}|Sound|{{ShowTFW|{{Wikipedia:Today's Featured Whatever/2011-04-10}}}}| }}

The Featured Sound Main Page Proposal Voter Barnstar | |
I was truly humbled by the overwhelming community support for the recent proposal to place featured sounds on the main page. The proposal closed on Tuesday with 57 people in support and only 2 in opposition. It should take a few weeks for everything to get coded and tested, and once that is done the community will be presented with a mock up to assess on aesthetic appeal. Finally, I invite all of you to participate in the featured sounds process itself. Whether you're a performer, an uploader, or just come across a sound file you find top quality, and that meets the featured sound criteria, you can nominate it at Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates. Featured sounds is also looking for people to help assess candidates (also at Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates.)
Thanks again for such a strong showing of support, and I hope to see you at featured sounds in the future. |
I've mainly just sketched out the interaction of components, and what needs to be done today. Didn't have enough continuous computer time to start assembling the codes, so I'll do it tomorrow. If you want to make a start, the first thing to do is probably to set up a mock mainpage, and duplicate the Today's Featured Picture templates to "Today's Featured Whatever", fixing all the internal links.

Hi!
Your tool is very useful.
I just wanted to suggest an enhancement to pages like this where it is displayed the text "Revisions that added specified text:". I think it would be good idea to change it to "Revisions that added the text [the specified text goes here]: ", so that it is displayed in the page itself (instead of only in the URL, which is difficult to read because of the encoding).

At that time, I observed that:
You expressed a different point of view:

Anecdotal evidence, true, but engineers are accustomed to making observations, and reporting same.
I am always surprised when someone has enabled it.
My actual point:
I like your feature. (Obviously.)
For the past few months, I have been doing most of my work in frwiki and svwiki to avoid crossing the dreaded enwiki 45K threshold and shutting down my favourite feature.
So, is the threshold still active?

Can you poke me when you're on? I hit a snag in coding, and want to see if I can still use my original plan, or if I need to change it. If we can't do it the original wa, I have an alernative, but want to talk it through. Adam Cuerden ( talk) 10:36, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi!
Your tool is very useful.
I just wanted to suggest an enhancement to pages like this where it is displayed the text "Revisions that added specified text:". I think it would be good idea to change it to "Revisions that added the text [the specified text goes here]: ", so that it is displayed in the page itself (instead of only in the URL, which is difficult to read because of the encoding).

I am getting duplicated edit count data (on a black background) on your edit counter for User:Neelix. -- Highspeedrailguy ( talk) 17:20, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
I don't understand the meaning of the left-hand vertical axis in the graphs. Could you explain it (preferably on the graph's page). Wahrmund ( talk) 19:17, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
