Yes strangely its not the tagger which I have turned off by default for the dating runs at the moment. It's general fixes. Rich Farmbrough, 23:29 21 May 2009 (UTC).

DYK for Switzerland–Uruguay relations

On May 22, 2009, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Switzerland–Uruguay relations, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Thanks

For cleaning up Winnapaug Pond. I would have added one of those infoboxes myself, but it was far too complicated. :) –Juliancolton | ^Talk 22:17, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Kealia Pond National Wildlife Refuge

Hey, thanks for adding the infobox! Viriditas (talk) 10:50, 24 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So tell me, if I want to add a Wildlife Refuge taxobox, should I add it to the top or bottom? How do you usually do it when the lake is part of a refuge? Viriditas (talk) 10:53, 24 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for creating the article! As the article is titled "Wildlife Refuge", I'd place it on top. Sometimes the infobox protected area is virtually empty, then, I'd use the lake one first. Here are a few others that have both infoboxes: Caesar Creek State Park, Deep Creek Lake State Park, East Lake Tohopekaliga, Hueston Woods State Park, Argyle Lake State Park, Lake Harris (Florida). -- User:Docu

Ok, thanks. Viriditas (talk) 11:08, 24 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Headline hierachy stuff

Okay, lots of discussion after I went to bed then. Hmm. Providing my script worked (it'll have a trial and be watched for many, many edits after that, of course), and I wrote in an exception for that template you mentioned, you think I'm still alright to proceed with the approvals process for my bot? - Jarry1250 ^{(t, c)} 08:53, 25 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

We might want to check the longer pages first, then see what's left to do (sk said he will change the reports too). -- User:Docu

Sure. I'm happy to let it sit there until, if ever, needed. - Jarry1250 ^{(t, c)} 09:23, 25 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I ran a trial fifty edits last night (I'm sure you can find them in LivingBot's contribs), skipping pages including "disam" and "csrt" (case insensitive). They all look to be a net gain - certainly, no net negatives (one I reverted to compare, it was messed up both before and after the edit, it appears). I did using the list for #25 Headline hierarchy. What do you think? I guess I'm going to get approved if no-one complains. #83 looks promising, I think the bot would work on those as well, though its dodgier ground. - Jarry1250 ^{(t, c)} 10:43, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Standard appendices should have been going to level two automatically. It's broken somehwere, evidently. Good spots, working on it. - Jarry1250 ^{(t, c)} 12:50, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Turns out the "standard appendices" fix was among those updates to the "preview" code not synced to the "bot" code. *Sigh*. Is there anything that needs fixing in the interim (with regard to the fifty edits, of which some were botched)? The CSRT and disambig checks haven't been synced from the bot code to the preview code, but I would think that's pretty low priority. - Jarry1250 ^{(t, c)} 16:37, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Signature

Hi; when you sign your posts on talkpages, which you should always do using ~~~~ (a code which automatically pastes the text you have set in your preferences), the signature should include a link to your userpage ("At least one of your user page, user talk page or contributions page must be linked from your signature to allow other editors simple access to your talk page and contributions log."), or your talkpage. Yours currently just says your name, so would it be possible for you to add in such a link ASAP? Let me know if you need help with this. Thanks. ╟─Treasury Tag►hemicycle─╢ 08:52, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm so sorry, I didn't notice you were an admin! I withdraw the slightly newbie-ish tone of that message! But, however, could you possibly include a link? Thanks! ╟─Treasury Tag►hemicycle─╢ 08:56, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:WikiProject Check Wikipedia

Good Afternoon wherever you are, I just wanted to let you know that I have attempted to make changes to several of the categories on the project but it appears they have already been done. Is there a category, that you would like me to work on with AWB?--Kumioko (talk) 19:13, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Generally, the fifty items on the page for any report still need to be done (unless there are false positives). DrilBot has gone through several lists on the server and processed these, but the counts don't get updated until the articles are re-scanned for the daily lists. I'm not quite sure which ones he already did though.

43 and 47 can be done by AWB, but it only highlights shortly the part that needs fixing - generally manually. It's the type of thing one doesn't necessarily want to do more than 50 at once anyways. The other template related reports are generally mainly manual (it can help if AWB loads one page after the other).

I'm currently working on Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Check_Wikipedia#TOC_check, but AWB isn't much help for this. -- User:Docu 19:41, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks I found one that seems to need some work and that is the double references one. AWB doesn't do much automatically for this but its opening the pages for me at least. I think I can make some custom code in a module that can capture some of the redunent ones but there are only a couple hundred so it probably wouldn't be worth it so I might look at some of the larger lists first.--Kumioko (talk) 20:06, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good. BTW, don't hesitate to suggested additional fixes to the AWB developers. -- User:Docu

Signature

Is there a reason your signature doesn't include a link to your user or usertalk page, and that you don't regularly include date stamps? Please review WP:SIG. Hipocrite (talk) 19:28, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
