I'm a Chippewa Indian who was looking through articles on defense contracting and I found one that included both topics on wikipedia. unfortunately it was deleted just a few hours after I viewed it and I became very disappointed when I returned to that page from my bookmarks. I understand you are one of the few editors who extend an extra effort to give back the code to users if an article is deleted. That is a very valuable service and I'm sure you receive much praise for it. I was wondering if you would you give me the code for the wiki article [[Ishpi]] as it is very important to me and my research. Thank you!!!!! |

Peer review (from DBCAPRA)
I guess I should join "Don't bug Carl about peer review anonymous", but it's nearly been a week now! PR is getting full, and it is not clear to me what the main issue is. A while back you produced a list of the top ten (or so) big transclusions at PR. Is this hard to do? Would you be able to do it again? Is it something that can be done automatically when, say, we get with 100KB of the limit? Geometry guy 19:53, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
PS. Thanks in addition for conciliatory comments and actions elsewhere.
- This tool will let you make the list whenever you need it. — Carl (CBM · talk) 20:55, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
VeblenBot has fallen silent again, and someone at Peer Review is asking for info. Do you have any? Cheers, Geometry guy 22:06, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
- Okay, just looked at contribs, and think I can guess! Geometry guy 22:09, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
- It's a good guess, but unfortunately not the real cause. The bot scripts are completely independent programs, each of which is automatically run at certain times, and it shouldn't matter what other programs are running when that happens. The real problem has something to do with toolserver, but I can't pin it down. I copied the same code back to my home computer and am running it there (with no changes - that's why I blame the problem on toolserver). I'll check again at 1:20 UTC, but I think it is working again now. This was the only piece of the bot that was running on toolserver, which is why the other ones were still working. — Carl (CBM · talk) 00:30, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
- That seems to be fixed now, but there's been an odd side effect that GAR's are no longer ordered by date, but by article name instead. Any ideas? Geometry guy 09:03, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
- That should be fixed now. — Carl (CBM · talk) 12:28, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks. I've noticed that VeblenBot now lists some categories in chronological order and some in reverse chronological order. Thanks for adding this feature. However, it looks like it is the opposite way round to what I would prefer for the specialist peer review cats such as Category:Arts peer reviews: could you make these list most recent first, oldest last? I can provide a list of the 9 categories involved if you need it. Thanks Geometry guy 17:33, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Sure. Here's the list of categories I am currently listing, with an X on the ones that I think you mean. Could you verify that? — Carl (CBM · talk) 17:38, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
- Requests for peer review
- A-Class mathematics articles
- Wikipedia featured article review candidates
- Wikipedia featured article candidates
- GAR
- GAR/34
- GAR/35
- X Arts peer reviews
- X Language and literature peer reviews
- X Everyday life peer reviews
- X Philosophy and religion peer reviews
- X Social sciences and society peer reviews
- X History peer reviews
- X Geography and places peer reviews
- X Engineering and technology peer reviews
- X Natural sciences and mathematics peer reviews
- February 2008 peer reviews
- General peer reviews
Those are the ones. For the rest, maintain the status quo, whatever that is. Thanks, Geometry guy 18:35, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
Cite book
I need an admin to change the code on Template:Cite book. Please see this post to see the code that needs to change. It has been 4 days with no comments or responses. The change in code only affects the anchor ID, which only involves linking to it. Cuñado ☼ - Talk 05:04, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles
I'm a Chippewa Indian who was looking through articles on defense contracting and I found one that included both topics on wikipedia. unfortunately it was deleted just a few hours after I viewed it and I became very disappointed when I returned to that page from my bookmarks.
