Eva Braun

Hi, Gimme. The article Eva Braun was recently promoted to GA, and the template on the talk page looks fine. I tried tinkering with it, but I still can't get the article page to update to show the promotion. It's still showing as C-class and a good article nominee. Thanks for any assistance with this little glitch. --Dianna (talk) 07:22, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

I really don't follow. That article was removed from GAN 6 hours before your post here, and the article page had the GA icon applied about the same time. Are you referring to some script which changes the appearance of the page based on the talkpage templates? Or is this some caching issue? 16:18, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

Yes, it's a script available under Preferences:Gadgets. I purged the server cache last night but did not think to purge my local cache. That seems to have done the trick. Thanks for the tip, and hope you had a great holiday season. Regards, --Dianna (talk) 16:45, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

Request for Interview Regarding Wikipedia Bots

Greetings-

My name is Randall Livingstone, and I am a graduate student at the University of Oregon, currently collecting data for my dissertation on Wikipedia editors who create and use bots and assisted editing tools, as well as editors involved in the initial and/or ongoing creation of bot policies on Wikipedia. As a member of BAG and the bot community, I would very much like to interview you for the project at a time and in a method that is most convenient for you (Gchat, another IM client, Skype, email, telephone, etc.). I am completely flexible and can work with your schedule. The interview will take approximately 30-45 minutes.

My dissertation project has been approved both by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) at the University of Oregon, and by the Research Committee at the Wikimedia Foundation. You can find more information on the project on my meta page.

Please let me know if you have any questions, and I look forward to hearing from you to set up a time to chat. Thank you very much.

Randall Livingstone, School of Journalism & Communication, University of Oregon

Bot actions question

Why do the bot's revisions to the review history of 102d Intelligence Wing continue to show the article as a GA and not an A-class article when it's passed A-class review? Is there no way to show that the article is A-class instead of GA? Pine^talk 06:10, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

A-class is decided by projects and appears in the project templates. 11:33, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

Removing the icon from GA articles that aren't GA articles

I noticed while cleaning up some miss-tagged Good articles that your bot does this automatically for Featured articles. Is it possible for this function to extend to GAs? There have been a few picked up recently (see Wikipedia talk:Good article reassessment#Possibly non-GAs tagged as GAs). AIRcorn (talk) 02:53, 18 January 2012 (UTC)

I had a script to do that, but the script broke when WP:GA was split, and I haven't had enough interest to update it. 03:25, 18 January 2012 (UTC)

It would be useful if it is an easy fix, although it is not too strenuous to do manually. Also on splitting WP:GA, would it have any affect on the bot if I sub divided songs by year or the episodes by series? AIRcorn (talk) 05:44, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

I ended up splitting songs and episodes here. The bot might need updating to take into account the new categories. AIRcorn (talk) 08:38, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
