Hi there. Can you help me understand what has led to the AfC accept of Gelato (cannabis) please? I would almost certainly have declined this - sources are routine content from 'daily' articles, listicles, or commercial websites.

Hello. Recently, I added

I am so sorry! I did not mean it that way what I meant was that I am the only person working on the article. I have no relation to any of the companies involved in creating or producing World End Syndrome. That was entirely my fault for wording it that way and I will try to be more careful with how type things from now on.

Hello,
Your bot recently made changes to talk:Sintir that concern me. I have been updating tags for Wikipedia:WikiProject Musical Instruments as I find them. Your bot made a problematic change: for some reason if the project's full name is used in the tag {{WikiProject Musical Instruments|... it causes the article statistics table to (often) not record information for that article. To function correctly, the tag needs to be {{WPMusInst|.... It would be better if the bot converted {{WikiProject Musical Instruments|... to {{WPMusInst |....
Since your bot is updating these tags, there is another change it could make that would really help. When it encountered the WikiProject's tag, the tag read {{WPMusInst |quality=stub |auto=yes |importance=... Someone tagged a bunch of these with "quality" when they should have typed "class". The articles come up "unassessed" when tagged like that, and it is causing me to have to find them (mostly by accident) and change them as I find them. An ideal tag would read {{WPMusInst |class= |importance=...
If it can correct that, it would be very helpful, indeed. Thank you for creating such a useful tool, Jacqke ( talk) 11:46, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
|quality=
is an alias of |class=
. I see that
Talk:Electric instrument has <code>{{WPMusInst |quality=stub |auto=yes |importance=}}</code> but is correctly categorized in
Category:Stub-Class musical instruments articles. Could you please show me an example of where the categorization isn't correct when the |quality=
field is used? Thanks!

I went to the manual of style as you suggested, and posted there. Do you think it was the right place? Anywhere else I should try? Here is a copy of what I posted on the talk page there: "I think photos, videos, animations, drawings, paintings, or virtual reality or other images in 3D or 2D, that, like most maps, face due north and are labelled accordingly are best. This way, the orientation of things in the picture is made known to the reader.I think photos should by default face due north. Astronomy images, photos or whatever, likewise should come with indication of orientation, so right ascension and declination of a single point are not enough, there needs to be some indication of which way up the image is, which is best provided by indicating which way it is to the celestial north pole. This is especially urgent with images of galaxies and planets which are frequently upside down (not necessarily in Wikipedia) if I can say that (because of how telescopes work, I think). I think astronomy images by default should have celestial north up." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arctic Gazelle ( talk • contribs) 18:41, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

If you are going to use your bot to make edits
like this it should also remove |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/<oclc>
when <oclc>
matches the value in |oclc=<oclc>
. The extra text in |edition=
is very commonly associated with WorldCat cites written by that abomination that is ve. Alas, it has proven difficult to get MediaWiki to stop including WorldCat urls in citations written by ve because 'other wikis' don't support |oclc=
. Here, cs1|2 |title=
should only link to sources that can be read; WorldCat does not provide any access to the source (there used to be a sometimes-working link to google previews – this particular example claims that – but since google changed their book preview mechanism, this facility hasn't worked) so the |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/<oclc>
is also extraneous.
Another common thing that ve does in these WorldCat cites is to write, for an example:
|edition=1st Wiley ed
when |publisher=Wiley
. Sort of pointless, that, so you might want to have the bot attempt to match whatever is between the edition enumerator and the 'extra' text in |edition=
with the content of |publisher=
. Yeah, I know, this can be difficult to do.
Most difficult of all is the complete hash that ve makes of author names. To be somewhat fair, this is not wholly the fault of ve because it relies on what it gets from the poorly curated records at WorldCat. Quite a few author names contain surname, initials, parenthetical given names:
|last=Surname, I. I. (Initial Initial)
Author names will also contain parenthetical birth and sometimes death dates – there are a variety of forms (because poorly curated WorldCat data).
Removing |url=
is easy; I mention these latter items in case you are feeling the need for a challenge.

I looked through the text and corrected the language. Can you please check if this article is now ready for submission? I really do appreciate the help. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TBoavida ( talk • contribs) 08:04, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
Hello. My reference 43 Les dinosaures, stars du Salon du collectionneur, Le Parisien mentions Eric Mickeler « Ils sont pourtant tout à fait à leur place », souligne Eric Mickeler, l'expert en histoire naturelle qui a monté cette exposition avec des pièces prêtées par des collectionneurs privés. « Regardez, c'est très beau. Un fossile peut même devenir une oeuvre d'art moderne », affirme le spécialiste des fossiles en montrant le squelette d'un rhinocéros laineux (vieux de dix mille ans) que son propriétaire a doté de cornes doréesâ?¦ « en hommage à Salvador Dali ». — Preceding unsigned comment added by TBoavida ( talk • contribs) 13:15, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

There must be some funky formatting further up in the thread that's causing this, like an unclosed nowiki tag. I'll see what I can find. TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 15:32, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
I Hosbot introduce you, the expert to me.
I like to propose posting a section in "Mosquito Control" article:
Section name: Visual Control. Text: Currently yellow light bulbs were marketed as insect, mosquito repelling devices. From the study in Florida woodland, among other color light traps, the yellow emitting light attracted the least, thus, it was translated as a repelling method(1) . On the other hand, when God creates the animal He creates them with eyes, which means for them to "see". They indeed rely on vision to find a clear path to navigate and to identify predators to flee from. This opens the door for possible optical mosquito control methods. If one can somehow simulate an obstruction they will not pass or if they were 'fooled' to believe the places were flooded with presents of other insects; predators perhaps; they will stay away. A combination of multi color light pulsing system was proposed as an alternative, It claims to work on the perceiving of the insects they translate the fast space of color changing events as appearances of some to disappear in order to be replaced by another.(2). In any case, visual control methods can not do them any harm, but to keep them away at best.

Hi GoingBatty, since I'm quite unexperienced in writing Wikipedia articles I would appreciate your help and guidance. I have been making small corrections to Sami Tallberg site here but cannot get my image through.
ALso I noticed that you have been making some small corrections but to a version, that is five years old. The new version, made by myself, was still visible last week but now it was gone because of your corrections, I think.

Hello! BattyBot recently made this edit, rearranging talk page banners. I have one note: {{ WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors}} represents a review process and belongs with the article history banners rather than with the WikiProject banners. I know the name makes this confusing; I usually use the alias {{ GOCE}}) for the banner. Alternatively, if an article has a lot of history, the data from the GOCE banner can be entered into {{ Article history}}, which accepts GOCE in its parameters.
Oh, I was once GOCE lead coordinator but am not presently on that team. I can probably answer any questions but if you need to talk with the present leadership, their forum is at WT:GOCE/COORD. Thanks for your attention on this, and good work with the bot! – Reidgreg ( talk) 11:40, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
Hi GoingBatty. I noticed you had made comments on Dispenser's talk page to the effect that his tools were up and running again. I was very happy to see that, and I had a good run using the Dabfix tool ( http://69.142.160.183/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dabfix.py). However it has now stopped working again, with a different error than before, something starting with <class 'oursql.CollatedWarningsError'>. I won't post the full traceback but you should see it with this http://69.142.160.183/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dabfix.py?page=Mark_Savage. Of course all the other tools seem to be still working, just my bad luck for it to be Dabfix. I don't know whether you had a hand in fixing the previous issues, so I thought I'd mention it, and keep my fingers-crossed. Thanks Tassedethe ( talk) 16:39, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

The bot is removing authors from citation templates, I believe because they are duplicate names with different author numbers. This causes at least two sorts of problem.
In this edit there actually are two authors with the same name and initial (see [6]). I believe the template was correct before the bot edit, although possibly there is some special author formatting that should be performed in this special case. The template is definitely wrong after the bot edit, showing only one author where there should be two.
In this change, a single author was indeed duplicated but now there is no author2 and so we end up with a CS1 tracking category for a missing name.
I haven't actually stopped the bot since the first type of error is likely to be very rare and the second possibly an improvement albeit still with mistakes in the template. Lithopsian ( talk) 13:58, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

@ GoingBatty:, the BattyBot has been going around changing every instance of "Mike Fleming Jr" to "Mike Jr. Fleming". On every page where he's cited (he's a Deadline editor so that's a lot of actors and films, etc.) - any way to get it to mass undo this, of course without undoing all the other fixes in the same edits? It seems to be that there's a backend issue and while Deadline shows Fleming's name correctly in visuals, the code thinks the "Jr." is part of his first name... or something. But since it's the only name being changed in these recent edits, I hope it's an easy enough specific command to implement. Kingsif ( talk) 19:21, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

My apology, I had to delete your edit to revert a lengthy edit just before yours. Thanks for your understanding. Magnolia677 ( talk) 21:54, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
Listen, I do not know what both of your problems are, but you keep reverting my edits to the Demopolis, Alabama page although all of my edits are properly cited. If you are going to keep being petty and doing that, the least you can do is update the page with current (as of 2021) information. The Demopolis Wikipedia page is so outdated and so inaccurate is laughable. For example, the current article has that the University of West Alabama is the managing partner of the city's higher education center when they haven't been since 2014... the managing partner is now Wallace State out of Selma. It shouldn't matter how lengthy the edits are, if they are factual and are properly cited, who are you to reverse them because you feel like you can? The page is inaccurate, but you wouldn't know that because you don't live here and refuse to let me, someone who does live here and know what's going on, update the page. What's going to end up happening is I'm going to have the mayor and town government (the people who asked me to "clean up and update their city's Wiki page") to request that the city's Wiki page be locked to where only they and the Demopolis Historical Society can access it. That way I will end up having access anyway and you won't have to worry about accessing the page and reverting edits again. Surely you don't think you can override the city government of the town that is the subject of the page in question/conflict. If you want to continue to have access to the page I suggest you stop this petty nonsense now.
Just responded on your talk page. Sorry if I came across as rude, but it's frustrating when you spend hours compiling sources to make sure your edits are up to par so they won't be reverted... and they get reverted anyway. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tristanmullen1999 ( talk • contribs) 22:56, 26 June 2021 (UTC)

They just asked me on a whim because they know this is where my interest lies and they were taken aback by how outdated their town's information was on the page. I'm just interested in my town having an accurate and up to date Wikipedia page. That is all. I still don't see why I have to suggest edits to you all instead of just edit it myself since I live here. I am a Senior History major in college and will be a law student next fall, so I am familiar with how to research and cite information. No one has still given me an answer to why all of my edits were reversed when everything was cited correctly. If it's not a case of vandalism, why reverse someone else's work? In fact, I think my edits made the town's page look more polished and included (cited) information that wasn't previously there. I still think pride and ego are contributing factors in all of this. Even if I go and redo my edits and double check and make sure I cite everything correctly, y'all (or they since you say you didn't revert my info) are still probably going to just undo my edits.

Hello GoingBatty. I see that you removed categories which I added to George Kuwayama. I am trying to understand when it is appropriate to add categories and find the matter confusing. Reading the various wp:category related articles does not help as I am mostly overwhelmed with what they state. I once inquired of someone who added categories to an article which I created and he said he really did not know either--he simply looked at similar articles and mimicked them. So that I may correctly edit withing the category realm, I am wondering what you saw that determined the removal of the categories on 20 August 2021. I desire to not make those errors again, and perhaps you can help. Most kind regards, Hu Nhu ( talk) 16:05, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

Hey, sorry but didn't know who else to ask. We'd like to make sure that the article in question is correct and up to date but none of us understand the minutiae of how to navigate the bureaucracy of this website. I thought I'd reach out to you to ask if you could look at the situation on the talk page and tell us if there's anything we can do about it.
We seem to be in an argument with some guy who says that posting factual information is "going to the dogs" because he doesn't like how good our reference is, when the reference is someone who scrapes the Google API for change on a regular basis and reports the information when there are large scale updates. From our point of view these things are pretty objectively correct because the article itself is on the topic of what you can see on a website, and our sources are just compiling the data that anyone can check themselves. He keeps going on about how it's "self-published" and therefore it is bad, but again, the actual content is so easily verifiable to literally anyone with a computer, since the article itself is about the content of a public website that anyone can look at, why even have the article in the first place if it won't be updated?
Do you think it would stay up if we just made a lot of Google Maps links and used those as references, since they directly refer to Google?
If you could give me/Seb some guidance on how we would be able to get the factually correct information up to stay up, I'd appreciate it. Thanks for reading. -- 30 ( talk) 23:00, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi there...I am looking for advice on moving forward with one of the experts for simple easily verifiable changes. The Stan Shaffer book I referred to was JUST pictures and that is in the credits. Not even his book publisher, world renown TeNeues was allowed to see what he had written. Certainly not me. There are so many other easily sourced and second partied items that I have mentioned and many are in public domain on the internet. I need an IT specialist perhaps. I suspect I am not in your age group and did not grow up with computers. Tatler magazine has asked me for a second interview. They have done one a decade ago which is referenced in my page. Incidentally I did not start my page and have no idea who did. I appreciate it but there is much left out. For e.g. I was nominated for best actress by the Saturns in the 90's. Easily found. My show actually won emmys. Again that can be sourced. Does wiki have anyone available to work on this? Regards LokiOttawa ( talk) 11:43, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
Hi GoingBatty I have put in a word with LouiseRobey talk as suggested asking for editors to help. As for those directors I understand won emmys for my show, it was always a group effort so it affects me and my show. I won an award in Spain in the 90's but forget what it is. I was flown to Madrid 1st class from LA and it was televised. I was on stage and that's all I know. So many other stories. I shall do 2 more interviews with accredited journalists shortly. I hope that helps. Thanks Louise Robey LokiOttawa ( talk) 12:39, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
Hi GoingBatty I await with baited breath any editors who might help to accredit any sources. That I hope is the way to proceed and also two interviews with magazines and online should be a start.

Hi, I followed GoingBatty's advice to 1st upload my original mood ring gif using File Upload Wizard. I did not publish yet as further instrx were to go to the mood ring article & replace existing non-original mood ring gif with my gif HOWEVER I then need to add File:Yourfilename.gif...

Been following him for years. I don't know much about how Wikipedia works other than I use it from time to time. When I read his page a few years ago, it looked good to me. The other day I tried and found it was removed. I just don't understand why. Maybe you could reinstate it or please tell me what was wrong with it.

The article Religious symbolism in U.S. sports team names and mascots is clearly a list of Christian schools that call themselves "Saints" or other references to their religious identity, plus a few public schools that identify with the town which was named after a saint. I encountered this article last month and cleaned it up, which removed much of the text as un-sourced and non-encyclopedic. The article has existed since 2010, which indicates that it is meaningful, and other editors have subsequently added to the list, but I could find no references for any additional text content. I put in a move request to have the title reflect its categorization as a list but this received no votes so I left it for now, but expected to eventually do the move as uncontroversial. However your recent edit removed the article from the list category.-- WriterArtistDC ( talk) 13:20, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

Hey GoingBatty,
I saw you add some comments to the page “ List of Dutch extradition treaties“. The critique about it being an orphan is clear to me and I'll make some references. I, however, also read that you noticed a lack of verification. Where is extra verification needed?
To end. You also remarked after a couple of sentences that clarification is needed. For some of them I have an idea how to improve it. For some I do not. The sentences I'd like to have some guidance on are:
- There are countries with which the Netherlands has a classic[clarification needed] extradition treaty and countries which fall, together with the Netherlands, under the system of the European Arrest Warrant
- 2. The elimination system - In this system, there is no list. Dual criminality is established if the crime is punishable in both countries and is threatened with a minimum maximum penalty[clarification needed] in both countries.
- 3. The combination system - These are treaties with a list and a minimum maximum sentence[clarification needed].
- If the extradition cannot take place because the maximum penalty in one of the countries does not fulfill the minimum[clarification needed] established in the treaty, extradition can still happen if the crime is listed in the treaty.
With regards to some of my sources I'd like to add that it wasn't always possible to find an anglophone alternative. With more recent treaties (e.g. Australia, Canada and the US) I can find them in the national treaty series of the respective countries or the UN treaty series. Some are too old (e.g. Argentina (1893), Liberia (1895) or Mexico (1907)) or the official language of the the country is Dutch too (e.g. Surinam). In those cases it was impossible to find an alternative in English.
I hope you can help me a little and we can improve the page so it fulfills the criteria of wikipedia. Maybe you can help me a little extra as this is my first page in English.

Can you please consider undoing the redirect of Paul Bushnell's article to Edna Swap? I never received any notification from you regarding issues of notability and I would like to have the opportunity to add additional content and cite references. I thought it was Wikipedia etiquette to contact the creator of an article or post a notification on the article before redirecting and deleting the article. thank you so much Pennyframstad ( talk)penny

You replied to my question at Teahouse/Questions, and I thought I replied back to you there. However, when the page was archived, it looks like it wasn't changed. So here's my question and your response again (my computer doesn't like to copy/paste):
"I'm confused about my Watchlist: in mid-December four of my edits (three minor) were highlighted on my Watchlist (and on my Contributions page also). Nothing happened to the edits at that time, and I think the highlights were automated. However, on Dec 23 somebody tinkered with my edit (which is fine) but nothing appeared about it on my Watchlist at that time, although that page is definitely listed to be watched. I wonder how many other changes to my watched pages have been made that I've missed. Does this have anything to do with the Watchlist filters?"
You replied: "Maybe. It might help if you mention the pages in question and the filters you have enabled."
The edits highlighted on my Watchlist page are: Dec 18 Captive City (5:50)
Captive City (6:08) Private Hell 36 (7:52)
Dec 15 711 Ocean Drive (7:25)

Hello,
Your bot recently made changes to talk:Sintir that concern me. I have been updating tags for Wikipedia:WikiProject Musical Instruments as I find them. Your bot made a problematic change: for some reason if the project's full name is used in the tag {{WikiProject Musical Instruments|... it causes the article statistics table to (often) not record information for that article. To function correctly, the tag needs to be {{WPMusInst|.... It would be better if the bot converted {{WikiProject Musical Instruments|... to {{WPMusInst |....
Since your bot is updating these tags, there is another change it could make that would really help. When it encountered the WikiProject's tag, the tag read {{WPMusInst |quality=stub |auto=yes |importance=... Someone tagged a bunch of these with "quality" when they should have typed "class". The articles come up "unassessed" when tagged like that, and it is causing me to have to find them (mostly by accident) and change them as I find them. An ideal tag would read {{WPMusInst |class= |importance=...
If it can correct that, it would be very helpful, indeed. Thank you for creating such a useful tool, Jacqke ( talk) 11:46, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
|quality=
is an alias of |class=
. I see that
Talk:Electric instrument has <code>{{WPMusInst |quality=stub |auto=yes |importance=}}</code> but is correctly categorized in
Category:Stub-Class musical instruments articles. Could you please show me an example of where the categorization isn't correct when the |quality=
field is used? Thanks!

I went to the manual of style as you suggested, and posted there. Do you think it was the right place? Anywhere else I should try? Here is a copy of what I posted on the talk page there: "I think photos, videos, animations, drawings, paintings, or virtual reality or other images in 3D or 2D, that, like most maps, face due north and are labelled accordingly are best. This way, the orientation of things in the picture is made known to the reader.I think photos should by default face due north. Astronomy images, photos or whatever, likewise should come with indication of orientation, so right ascension and declination of a single point are not enough, there needs to be some indication of which way up the image is, which is best provided by indicating which way it is to the celestial north pole. This is especially urgent with images of galaxies and planets which are frequently upside down (not necessarily in Wikipedia) if I can say that (because of how telescopes work, I think). I think astronomy images by default should have celestial north up." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arctic Gazelle ( talk • contribs) 18:41, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

If you are going to use your bot to make edits
like this it should also remove |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/<oclc>
when <oclc>
matches the value in |oclc=<oclc>
. The extra text in |edition=
is very commonly associated with WorldCat cites written by that abomination that is ve. Alas, it has proven difficult to get MediaWiki to stop including WorldCat urls in citations written by ve because 'other wikis' don't support |oclc=
. Here, cs1|2 |title=
should only link to sources that can be read; WorldCat does not provide any access to the source (there used to be a sometimes-working link to google previews – this particular example claims that – but since google changed their book preview mechanism, this facility hasn't worked) so the |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/<oclc>
is also extraneous.
Another common thing that ve does in these WorldCat cites is to write, for an example:
|edition=1st Wiley ed
when |publisher=Wiley
. Sort of pointless, that, so you might want to have the bot attempt to match whatever is between the edition enumerator and the 'extra' text in |edition=
with the content of |publisher=
. Yeah, I know, this can be difficult to do.
Most difficult of all is the complete hash that ve makes of author names. To be somewhat fair, this is not wholly the fault of ve because it relies on what it gets from the poorly curated records at WorldCat. Quite a few author names contain surname, initials, parenthetical given names:
|last=Surname, I. I. (Initial Initial)
Author names will also contain parenthetical birth and sometimes death dates – there are a variety of forms (because poorly curated WorldCat data).
Removing |url=
is easy; I mention these latter items in case you are feeling the need for a challenge.

I was trying to be professional for my extra credit assignment (that's what got me started on wiki, is my teacher) and label the page by his first name, but I think it should be Moka Blast because that's what he calls himself on his social media.
Please let me know how I do this. Thank you so much! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Beamer.Backdrop ( talk • contribs) 18:09, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

I was looking at the adjustments made to my citations, whatever you've done seems to work fine, but I don't really understand how it works. To my mind you've removed the parts of the citations that denote the details e.g. page number, and yet they still turn up on the article itself? I'd appreciate it if you could explain how this works, if I should be doing it normally, and point me towards a source to learn from?!
Many thanks, Pickersgill-Cunliffe ( talk) 14:56, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

I Hosbot introduce you, the expert to me.
I like to propose posting a section in "Mosquito Control" article:
Section name: Visual Control. Text: Currently yellow light bulbs were marketed as insect, mosquito repelling devices. From the study in Florida woodland, among other color light traps, the yellow emitting light attracted the least, thus, it was translated as a repelling method(1) . On the other hand, when God creates the animal He creates them with eyes, which means for them to "see". They indeed rely on vision to find a clear path to navigate and to identify predators to flee from. This opens the door for possible optical mosquito control methods. If one can somehow simulate an obstruction they will not pass or if they were 'fooled' to believe the places were flooded with presents of other insects; predators perhaps; they will stay away. A combination of multi color light pulsing system was proposed as an alternative, It claims to work on the perceiving of the insects they translate the fast space of color changing events as appearances of some to disappear in order to be replaced by another.(2). In any case, visual control methods can not do them any harm, but to keep them away at best.

Hello! BattyBot recently made this edit, rearranging talk page banners. I have one note: {{ WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors}} represents a review process and belongs with the article history banners rather than with the WikiProject banners. I know the name makes this confusing; I usually use the alias {{ GOCE}}) for the banner. Alternatively, if an article has a lot of history, the data from the GOCE banner can be entered into {{ Article history}}, which accepts GOCE in its parameters.
Oh, I was once GOCE lead coordinator but am not presently on that team. I can probably answer any questions but if you need to talk with the present leadership, their forum is at WT:GOCE/COORD. Thanks for your attention on this, and good work with the bot! – Reidgreg ( talk) 11:40, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
Hi GoingBatty. I noticed you had made comments on Dispenser's talk page to the effect that his tools were up and running again. I was very happy to see that, and I had a good run using the Dabfix tool ( http://69.142.160.183/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dabfix.py). However it has now stopped working again, with a different error than before, something starting with <class 'oursql.CollatedWarningsError'>. I won't post the full traceback but you should see it with this http://69.142.160.183/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dabfix.py?page=Mark_Savage. Of course all the other tools seem to be still working, just my bad luck for it to be Dabfix. I don't know whether you had a hand in fixing the previous issues, so I thought I'd mention it, and keep my fingers-crossed. Thanks Tassedethe ( talk) 16:39, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

The bot is removing authors from citation templates, I believe because they are duplicate names with different author numbers. This causes at least two sorts of problem.
In this edit there actually are two authors with the same name and initial (see [6]). I believe the template was correct before the bot edit, although possibly there is some special author formatting that should be performed in this special case. The template is definitely wrong after the bot edit, showing only one author where there should be two.
In this change, a single author was indeed duplicated but now there is no author2 and so we end up with a CS1 tracking category for a missing name.
I haven't actually stopped the bot since the first type of error is likely to be very rare and the second possibly an improvement albeit still with mistakes in the template. Lithopsian ( talk) 13:58, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

@ GoingBatty:, the BattyBot has been going around changing every instance of "Mike Fleming Jr" to "Mike Jr. Fleming". On every page where he's cited (he's a Deadline editor so that's a lot of actors and films, etc.) - any way to get it to mass undo this, of course without undoing all the other fixes in the same edits? It seems to be that there's a backend issue and while Deadline shows Fleming's name correctly in visuals, the code thinks the "Jr." is part of his first name... or something. But since it's the only name being changed in these recent edits, I hope it's an easy enough specific command to implement. Kingsif ( talk) 19:21, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

My apology, I had to delete your edit to revert a lengthy edit just before yours. Thanks for your understanding. Magnolia677 ( talk) 21:54, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
Listen, I do not know what both of your problems are, but you keep reverting my edits to the Demopolis, Alabama page although all of my edits are properly cited. If you are going to keep being petty and doing that, the least you can do is update the page with current (as of 2021) information. The Demopolis Wikipedia page is so outdated and so inaccurate is laughable. For example, the current article has that the University of West Alabama is the managing partner of the city's higher education center when they haven't been since 2014... the managing partner is now Wallace State out of Selma. It shouldn't matter how lengthy the edits are, if they are factual and are properly cited, who are you to reverse them because you feel like you can? The page is inaccurate, but you wouldn't know that because you don't live here and refuse to let me, someone who does live here and know what's going on, update the page. What's going to end up happening is I'm going to have the mayor and town government (the people who asked me to "clean up and update their city's Wiki page") to request that the city's Wiki page be locked to where only they and the Demopolis Historical Society can access it. That way I will end up having access anyway and you won't have to worry about accessing the page and reverting edits again. Surely you don't think you can override the city government of the town that is the subject of the page in question/conflict. If you want to continue to have access to the page I suggest you stop this petty nonsense now.
Just responded on your talk page. Sorry if I came across as rude, but it's frustrating when you spend hours compiling sources to make sure your edits are up to par so they won't be reverted... and they get reverted anyway. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tristanmullen1999 ( talk • contribs) 22:56, 26 June 2021 (UTC)

I am a Senior History major in college and will be a law student next fall, so I am familiar with how to research and cite information. No one has still given me an answer to why all of my edits were reversed when everything was cited correctly. If it's not a case of vandalism, why reverse someone else's work? In fact, I think my edits made the town's page look more polished and included (cited) information that wasn't previously there. I still think pride and ego are contributing factors in all of this. Even if I go and redo my edits and double check and make sure I cite everything correctly, y'all (or they since you say you didn't revert my info) are still probably going to just undo my edits.

Hi, I noticed you reverted my edit at [7]. My edit was actually supposed to be making the situation better - the error is caused by exceeding the WP:PEIS limit and invoking modules directly reduces PEIS. Would you mind if I put it back? Thanks. User:GKFX talk 22:40, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

Hello GoingBatty:
WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long
Backlog Drive!
The goal of this drive is to eliminate the backlog of unreviewed articles. The drive is running until 31 July 2021.
Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
There is currently a backlog of over 2400 articles, so start reviewing articles. We're looking forward to your help!

Hi, I appreciate the time you took to explaining this situation to me. Unfortunately, I have paid them $800 to write my profile and submit for my company/brand. But, we are in the drafting stage at the moment. So, the article has not been submitted yet to Wikipedia. What should I do? I would like to get a page for my company submitted and approved and of course do it the correct way.

All I want is just to submit the article on Wikipedia.

Hello GoingBatty. I see that you removed categories which I added to George Kuwayama. I am trying to understand when it is appropriate to add categories and find the matter confusing. Reading the various wp:category related articles does not help as I am mostly overwhelmed with what they state. I once inquired of someone who added categories to an article which I created and he said he really did not know either--he simply looked at similar articles and mimicked them. So that I may correctly edit withing the category realm, I am wondering what you saw that determined the removal of the categories on 20 August 2021. I desire to not make those errors again, and perhaps you can help. Most kind regards, Hu Nhu ( talk) 16:05, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

Hey, sorry but didn't know who else to ask. We'd like to make sure that the article in question is correct and up to date but none of us understand the minutiae of how to navigate the bureaucracy of this website. I thought I'd reach out to you to ask if you could look at the situation on the talk page and tell us if there's anything we can do about it.
We seem to be in an argument with some guy who says that posting factual information is "going to the dogs" because he doesn't like how good our reference is, when the reference is someone who scrapes the Google API for change on a regular basis and reports the information when there are large scale updates. From our point of view these things are pretty objectively correct because the article itself is on the topic of what you can see on a website, and our sources are just compiling the data that anyone can check themselves. He keeps going on about how it's "self-published" and therefore it is bad, but again, the actual content is so easily verifiable to literally anyone with a computer, since the article itself is about the content of a public website that anyone can look at, why even have the article in the first place if it won't be updated?
Do you think it would stay up if we just made a lot of Google Maps links and used those as references, since they directly refer to Google?
If you could give me/Seb some guidance on how we would be able to get the factually correct information up to stay up, I'd appreciate it. Thanks for reading. -- 30 ( talk) 23:00, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi there...I am looking for advice on moving forward with one of the experts for simple easily verifiable changes. The Stan Shaffer book I referred to was JUST pictures and that is in the credits. Not even his book publisher, world renown TeNeues was allowed to see what he had written. Certainly not me. There are so many other easily sourced and second partied items that I have mentioned and many are in public domain on the internet. I need an IT specialist perhaps. I suspect I am not in your age group and did not grow up with computers. Tatler magazine has asked me for a second interview. They have done one a decade ago which is referenced in my page. Incidentally I did not start my page and have no idea who did. I appreciate it but there is much left out. For e.g. I was nominated for best actress by the Saturns in the 90's. Easily found. My show actually won emmys. Again that can be sourced. Does wiki have anyone available to work on this? Regards LokiOttawa ( talk) 11:43, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
Hi GoingBatty I have put in a word with LouiseRobey talk as suggested asking for editors to help. As for those directors I understand won emmys for my show, it was always a group effort so it affects me and my show. I won an award in Spain in the 90's but forget what it is. I was flown to Madrid 1st class from LA and it was televised. I was on stage and that's all I know. So many other stories. I shall do 2 more interviews with accredited journalists shortly. I hope that helps. Thanks Louise Robey LokiOttawa ( talk) 12:39, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
Hi GoingBatty I await with baited breath any editors who might help to accredit any sources. That I hope is the way to proceed and also two interviews with magazines and online should be a start.

Additional sources for this album include: https://metalitalia.com/album/doomsword-the-eternal-battle/ https://genius.com/Doomsword-eternal-battle-lyrics https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/54197/Doomsword-The-Eternal-Battle/ https://www.discogs.com/master/1542904-DoomSword-The-Eternal-Battle
In terms of notability, there are articles for every other DS album, they're a significant enough band
Are these good enough? If so, can the article be re-launched? thanks

I am the subject of this page. I didn't create it but when I saw it in July, there were some errors, so I made some edits. But I didn't realise that the protocol was not to edit article information where you are the subject. Can you please advise if I should undo the edits I made?

Thanks for uploading File:The Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 02:58, 2 October 2021 (UTC)
The main article uses this pic from: https://www.bcdb.com/cartoons/Hanna-Barbera_Studios/A-C/The_Amazing_Chan_and_the_Chan_Clan/ The Chan article is a 1950's- 60's children's tv cartoon show. It was on for one season then released decades-later on MOD DVD. The total audience would probably be rather small but the article seems to need a picture, one, at least for the benefit of younger readers. I'm just throwing this in as an option, in case an option is needed, don't know how things are working out for the above ^^. Missbellanash ( talk) 00:34, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

Volkonsky is the royal prince and Pantler, His title is Okolnichy, he can lead 3,000 men without Tsar permission. He defeat Tushino army and Ivan Bolotnikov many time during 1606-1610.

I read the discussion about the deletion and saw It was done based on the site newspapers.com which doesn't make sense to me. I have his other books so I know he is legit. Been following him for years. I don't know much about how Wikipedia works other than I use it from time to time. When I read his page a few years ago, it looked good to me. The other day I tried and found it was removed. I just don't understand why. Maybe you could reinstate it or please tell me what was wrong with it.

The article Religious symbolism in U.S. sports team names and mascots is clearly a list of Christian schools that call themselves "Saints" or other references to their religious identity, plus a few public schools that identify with the town which was named after a saint. I encountered this article last month and cleaned it up, which removed much of the text as un-sourced and non-encyclopedic. The article has existed since 2010, which indicates that it is meaningful, and other editors have subsequently added to the list, but I could find no references for any additional text content. I put in a move request to have the title reflect its categorization as a list but this received no votes so I left it for now, but expected to eventually do the move as uncontroversial. However your recent edit removed the article from the list category.-- WriterArtistDC ( talk) 13:20, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

On THAT page, how do I get it to link back to this page?" With full transparency, this is the home my parents built, and I live here now. I worked with the UofD Center for Historic Architecture to get it listed on the NR. Any help you can provide would be so appreciated.

You are a remarkable editor in many ways. You would be a good administrator, in my opinion, and appear to be well qualified. You personify an administrator without tools and have gained my support already! |
Bots Newsletter, December 2021 | ||
---|---|---|
Welcome to the eighth issue of the English Wikipedia's Bots Newsletter, your source for all things bot. Maintainers disappeared to parts unknown... bots awakening from the slumber of æons... hundreds of thousands of short descriptions... these stories, and more, are brought to you by Wikipedia's most distinguished newsletter about bots. Our last issue was in August 2019, so there's quite a bit of catching up to do. Due to the vast quantity of things that have happened, the next few issues will only cover a few months at a time. This month, we'll go from September 2019 through the end of the year. I won't bore you with further introductions — instead, I'll bore you with a newsletter about bots. Overall
September 2019

Hey GoingBatty,
I saw you add some comments to the page “ List of Dutch extradition treaties“. The critique about it being an orphan is clear to me and I'll make some references. I, however, also read that you noticed a lack of verification. Where is extra verification needed?
To end. You also remarked after a couple of sentences that clarification is needed. For some of them I have an idea how to improve it. For some I do not. The sentences I'd like to have some guidance on are:
- There are countries with which the Netherlands has a classic[clarification needed] extradition treaty and countries which fall, together with the Netherlands, under the system of the European Arrest Warrant
- 2. The elimination system - In this system, there is no list. Dual criminality is established if the crime is punishable in both countries and is threatened with a minimum maximum penalty[clarification needed] in both countries.
- 3. The combination system - These are treaties with a list and a minimum maximum sentence[clarification needed].
- If the extradition cannot take place because the maximum penalty in one of the countries does not fulfill the minimum[clarification needed] established in the treaty, extradition can still happen if the crime is listed in the treaty.
With regards to some of my sources I'd like to add that it wasn't always possible to find an anglophone alternative. With more recent treaties (e.g. Australia, Canada and the US) I can find them in the national treaty series of the respective countries or the UN treaty series. Some are too old (e.g. Argentina (1893), Liberia (1895) or Mexico (1907)) or the official language of the the country is Dutch too (e.g. Surinam). In those cases it was impossible to find an alternative in English.
I hope you can help me a little and we can improve the page so it fulfills the criteria of wikipedia. Maybe you can help me a little extra as this is my first page in English.
Kind regards,

Can you please consider undoing the redirect of Paul Bushnell's article to Edna Swap? I never received any notification from you regarding issues of notability and I would like to have the opportunity to add additional content and cite references. I thought it was Wikipedia etiquette to contact the creator of an article or post a notification on the article before redirecting and deleting the article. thank you so much Pennyframstad ( talk)penny

You replied to my question at Teahouse/Questions, and I thought I replied back to you there. However, when the page was archived, it looks like it wasn't changed. So here's my question and your response again (my computer doesn't like to copy/paste):
"I'm confused about my Watchlist: in mid-December four of my edits (three minor) were highlighted on my Watchlist (and on my Contributions page also). Nothing happened to the edits at that time, and I think the highlights were automated. However, on Dec 23 somebody tinkered with my edit (which is fine) but nothing appeared about it on my Watchlist at that time, although that page is definitely listed to be watched. I wonder how many other changes to my watched pages have been made that I've missed. Does this have anything to do with the Watchlist filters?"
You replied: "Maybe. It might help if you mention the pages in question and the filters you have enabled."
The edits highlighted on my Watchlist page are: Dec 18 Captive City (5:50)
Captive City (6:08) Private Hell 36 (7:52)
Dec 15 711 Ocean Drive (7:25)
The edit that didn't show up: Dec 27 711 Ocean Drive (14:10) user Gcjnst
