Hey Mr. Z, how you doing these days? Hey, I was just wondering, is there any documentation for User:Mr.Z-man/patrollinks.js? — Ched : ? 02:55, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
Hey, what language did you write your Popular Pages program in? And I know you use Midom's data, but can you give me a pointer to it?
I want to play with some more data on the Popular Pages for a project. I could start from scratch, but it's better not to reinvent the wheel, after all. tedder ( talk) 03:17, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
Hi, I see you have deleted http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacilando, seemingly because it is a Spanish word, and because "Wikipedia is not a dictionary". I would like to counter that it is a concept and not a term, that it is recognized as an English loanword from Spanish, and that Wikipedia contains hundreds of thousands of word definitions (see e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abeyance). Could we agree on undeleting this page, or is it necessary to start a deletion review. Thanks. -- Tomas J. Fulopp ( talk) 10:02, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
Could you have Mr.Z-bot create a "popular pages" list for WP:VG at Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Popular pages? Due to the scope of the project, it would also be much appreciated if you could maybe make it longer than 1,000 articles... maybe 3–5 pages (subpages of the main one) which list a thousand each? I'm not sure if you can really do that without a lot of recoding, but I thought I'd ask. Thanks! – Drilnoth ( T • C • L) 16:10, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
I think you may have missed my request above. WP:CHICAGO would like a popular pages list.-- TonyTheTiger ( t/ c/ bio/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:LOTM) 19:00, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
Another: Could the assessment-categories be made Wikiproject-specific? I noticed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Thelema/Popular pages that the cat links go to the root level categories instead. Just a thought :) -- Quiddity ( talk) 18:40, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
{{
B-Class|category=Category:B-Class Thelema articles}}
– which would increase the size of the wikitext by nearly 50%. If someone wants to modify the templates or create a new set of templates that just takes the part of the category name that's specific to the project – {{
B-Class|Thelema}}
– I might use it.

Hello, would it be possible for you to generate a popular pages lis (similar to this one) for the Simpsons and ice hockey wikiprojects? In the case of the Simpsons one, there aren't 1000 articles, so maybe the limit could be 500. Thanks, Scorpion 0422 21:48, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Hey Mr.Z-man. Hope you're well. I noticed you did a thing for stats for the LGBT project. Do you know if there is anything like that for any of the NASCAR or auto racing projects? ... oh .. and facepalm on the patrol links thing. I'll prolly not use it, I like to see what I'm marking first. Do you know of anything that will tell me and offer to mark as patrolled if I happen across an article without going through the NPP thing?

Hi Mr. Z-man,
It'd be very helpful for some upcoming Wikipedia workshops for scientists if there were "Popular pages" for three more WikiProjects:
Could you ask Mr. Z-bot if he'd be willing to do those as well? It'd be a big help. Thanks! Proteins ( talk) 18:58, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
Since I cannnot view the details of the filter I am not sure what the problem was behind this. I am delisting from AIV until this is explained. Daniel Case ( talk) 14:57, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
I agree largely with your arguments about harmonising date formats. OTOH, I believe that is desirable to keep the datebot proposal's scope narrow because a) it is judgemental matter and thus not suited to bots, and b)the precise scope will allow the proposal speedier passage at RfC. You might like to know that a script by Lightmouse can effectively do much of the harmonising task with respect to dmy and mdy dates (although date ranges remain problematic).
I see from your monobook page that you are fairly adept with scripts. Perhaps you might be interested in modifying the script by Lightmouse so that it treats yyyy--mm-dd dates too? Used in conjunction with dmy or mdy tagging, maybe a bot can be sent around at a later date to align date formats throughout? There has also been some limited discussion at Template_talk:Dmy. Ohconfucius ( talk) 02:27, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
Why do you so vehemently oppose the date-linking bot? We are not in a commercial situation, and we are not in a hurry. Real-life time and cost considerations do not apply. There seems to be no reason why the two bots (a second bot to align dates) shouldn't exist independently. I have already started tagging articles {{ dmy}} and {{ mdy}}, so perhaps with your help, these formats may be maintained by such a bot in future. Ohconfucius ( talk) 01:31, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
I have analysed the edit patterns in a few articles, and believe that a very large number of edits - the vast majority - are trivial in nature ( I suggest you look at the articles of any of the more prominent athletes or musicians). By extension of your 'efficiency' logic, many small manual modifications should only occur with a more substantial contribution. That is how I like to work, but I don't always achieve it for a number of reasons; most WP editors don't work that way at all. Bots can only work that way if the rules are clear and unambiguous, but this problem is laced with too much subjectivity. Ohconfucius ( talk) 04:27, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
Could you please add Wikipedia:WikiProject Croatia to projects for which this list is created?
BTW: since the list displays the quality assessment, it would be handy to see the importance assessment too. (Strictly speaking, hit count and quality are not related, while hit count and importance are.) GregorB ( talk) 20:53, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
A digusting comment has been placed on the Metrication in the United States talk page. Can you remove it?
There are two principal reasons why the United States of North America has been unable to change to a sensible measurement system that 200 / 203 countries use.
1. The financial cost of such a change would probably cripple a weakening economy.
2. The average American lacks the intellect necessary to be able to handle such a change.

Mr.Z-bot just reported Rex Dominator at AIV because he "Tripped filter 139 ( details)." Not sure how this is a problem, since the user wasn't able to do anything of vandalism or otherwise problematic, because he was prevented from so doing by the filter. Is there a good reason why this would be reported? Not challenging you: I just don't know what this is, so I'd like to understand. Nyttend ( talk) 04:07, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
A member of the above project has requested it have a popular pages page as well. Thank you again for a really wonderful innovation here. John Carter ( talk) 00:52, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
Hi Z-Man, you pointed me to frameworks for doing WP API calls a little while back at the village pump. I noticed that you maintain a python framework, wikitools, and I'd like to try it out. Unfortunately I am having a very difficult time navigating the source code to find the things that I am looking for. Specifically, is it possible to use your framework to get a list of revisions of a page? and if so how? Thank you, Sligocki ( talk) 01:37, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Great tool... I roughly coordinate some activities at Portal:Gene Wiki. Although this effort is closely aligned with WP:MCB, it might still be interesting to see a pop pages report for the subset of pages covered by the Gene Wiki.

Please could the "location" field be added to refTool for news citations. This is normal practice outside the USA. The problem is that nearly all US newspapers include the name of the city of publication in their title, e.g. The New York Times.

Your bot reported
User:Terrentia Rew to AIV. At the time the account was reported, there were no edits, no deleted edits, and the abuse filter said I wasn't allowed to see the details of why it was tripped. So, I guess I'm asking if you have any ideas on how one would evaluate such a report, or should we just ignore it?

Hi, I see you have deleted http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacilando, seemingly because it is a Spanish word, and because "Wikipedia is not a dictionary". I would like to counter that it is a concept and not a term, that it is recognized as an English loanword from Spanish, and that Wikipedia contains hundreds of thousands of word definitions (see e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abeyance). Could we agree on undeleting this page, or is it necessary to start a deletion review. Thanks. -- Tomas J. Fulopp ( talk) 10:02, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
Could you have Mr.Z-bot create a "popular pages" list for WP:VG at Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Popular pages? Due to the scope of the project, it would also be much appreciated if you could maybe make it longer than 1,000 articles... maybe 3–5 pages (subpages of the main one) which list a thousand each? I'm not sure if you can really do that without a lot of recoding, but I thought I'd ask. Thanks! – Drilnoth ( T • C • L) 16:10, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

{{
B-Class|category=Category:B-Class Thelema articles}}
– which would increase the size of the wikitext by nearly 50%. If someone wants to modify the templates or create a new set of templates that just takes the part of the category name that's specific to the project – {{
B-Class|Thelema}}
– I might use it.

Since I cannnot view the details of the filter I am not sure what the problem was behind this. I am delisting from AIV until this is explained. Daniel Case ( talk) 14:57, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
I agree largely with your arguments about harmonising date formats. OTOH, I believe that is desirable to keep the datebot proposal's scope narrow because a) it is judgemental matter and thus not suited to bots, and b)the precise scope will allow the proposal speedier passage at RfC. You might like to know that a script by Lightmouse can effectively do much of the harmonising task with respect to dmy and mdy dates (although date ranges remain problematic).
I see from your monobook page that you are fairly adept with scripts. Perhaps you might be interested in modifying the script by Lightmouse so that it treats yyyy--mm-dd dates too? Used in conjunction with dmy or mdy tagging, maybe a bot can be sent around at a later date to align date formats throughout? There has also been some limited discussion at Template_talk:Dmy. Ohconfucius ( talk) 02:27, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
Why do you so vehemently oppose the date-linking bot? We are not in a commercial situation, and we are not in a hurry. Real-life time and cost considerations do not apply. There seems to be no reason why the two bots (a second bot to align dates) shouldn't exist independently. I have already started tagging articles {{ dmy}} and {{ mdy}}, so perhaps with your help, these formats may be maintained by such a bot in future. Ohconfucius ( talk) 01:31, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
I have analysed the edit patterns in a few articles, and believe that a very large number of edits - the vast majority - are trivial in nature ( I suggest you look at the articles of any of the more prominent athletes or musicians). By extension of your 'efficiency' logic, many small manual modifications should only occur with a more substantial contribution. That is how I like to work, but I don't always achieve it for a number of reasons; most WP editors don't work that way at all. Bots can only work that way if the rules are clear and unambiguous, but this problem is laced with too much subjectivity. Ohconfucius ( talk) 04:27, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
Could you please add Wikipedia:WikiProject Croatia to projects for which this list is created?

A digusting comment has been placed on the Metrication in the United States talk page. Can you remove it?
There are two principal reasons why the United States of North America has been unable to change to a sensible measurement system that 200 / 203 countries use.
1. The financial cost of such a change would probably cripple a weakening economy.
2. The average American lacks the intellect necessary to be able to handle such a change.

I'll explore for sure the software: but how can I get help and/or examples to learn more? Thanks. -- Alex_brollo Talk| Contrib 22:56, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
Did I do something wrong? It appears the bot didn't create the above page in its recent run. Hiding T 09:36, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Hey, hey! I've upgraded your script to include the ACAI toolbar support. Here's the code responsible for that:
if (mwCustomEditButtons && (document.getElementById('toolbar') || document.getElementById('wikiEditor-ui-toolbar'))/* && wikEdAutoUpdateUrl == null*/) {
if (document.getElementById('toolbar')) {
button = document.createElement('a');
button.href = "javascript:easyCiteMain()";
button.title = "Wstaw szablon cytowania";
buttonimage = document.createElement('img');
buttonimage.src = "http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bf/Button_easy_cite_pl.png";
buttonimage.alt = "Wstaw szablon przypisu";
button.appendChild(buttonimage);
document.getElementById('toolbar').appendChild(button);
} else {
buttonimage = document.createElement('img');
buttonimage.src = "http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9a/Curly_Brackets.svg/22px-Curly_Brackets.svg.png";
buttonimage.alt = "Wstaw szablon cytowania";
buttonimage.title = "Wstaw szablon cytowania";
buttonimage.classname = "tool tool-button";
buttonimage.style.width = "22px";
buttonimage.style.height = "17px";
buttonimage.onclick = easyCiteMain;
document.getElementById('wikiEditor-ui-toolbar').childNodes2].childNodes0].childNodes4].appendChild(buttonimage);
}
I hope you can adapt it to the English refToolbar. :) Hołek ҉ 20:07, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
Your bot reported
User:Terrentia Rew to AIV. At the time the account was reported, there were no edits, no deleted edits, and the abuse filter said I wasn't allowed to see the details of why it was tripped. So, I guess I'm asking if you have any ideas on how one would evaluate such a report, or should we just ignore it?

The information on the Assessment and Importance does not seems to match the ones showing in the talk pages. I'm wondering if it's an issue caused by the tags we use on the talk page? Some pages uses {{WikiProject Hong Kong}} and some pages uses the shortcut tag {{WPHK}}. Tavatar ( talk) 17:39, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
This includes subject headers. My comments and those of others are part of that discussion, some absolutely directly apropos. You and others don't get to remove them as if they don't count. If you wish to re-align the comments, then provide appropriate links as the discussions will likely be archived separately and some things won't make sense (see hammersoft's talk page for specifics). — BQZip01 — talk 17:07, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
Mr.Z-man, re: your 17:19 comments above: Precisely. Thank you for voicing it. -- Hammersoft ( talk) 18:14, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
