CorenSearchBot

Coren, did you see the messenge that the user of pt.wikipedia, HyperBroad leave in your talk page in one month ago? If not, i'm writing it again. The sysop HyperBroad suggested of the pt.wikipedia's community (link here) to import your bot, CorenSearchBot, to Portuguese Wikipedia. The suggestion was aproveted! The community wants your bot. So, he asked you about your opinion, but you don't answered he. So, i'm here to ask you about: What do you think about import your bot to there? We wait your answer. If you want it, you can leave a messege on my talk page or in our 'Village pump', the Esplanada. Thanks! Vitorbraziledit (talk) 01:54, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

I don't know if it's wise for me to operate a bot on a Wiki where I couldn't understand the operating language since it'd make hard for me to be responsive — but if you have a bot operator willing to run it then I have no problem with it. I haven't had time to finish publishing the source this weekend, but I should be done within 24h. — Coren ^(talk) 03:50, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Coren, the operating language of Portuguese Wikipedia's bot could be AWB, Pywikipedia, Python (or other [any one as the English Wikipedia]). You could ask for the bot status and in the same time have a "pt User" as a delegate of your bot (as we have the bot Salebot, that is operated by an French Wikipedia's user and have a delegate in Portuguese's). What do you think about it? Vitorbraziledit (talk) 15:21, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

I meant human language. It's important that whoever operates a bot be able to speak to other editors so as to be responsive in case of trouble. If you have an operator, then there is no difficulty. — Coren ^(talk) 21:55, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

So, i can be the delegate of your bot. Any trouble, i will translate and contact you about. What do you think? The biggest bot of vandalism of our wiki, the Salebot, is operated by a French Wikipedia user, that have the same bot in other wikis with delegates in the Wikipedias's language. In our case, the delegate is the user Kim Richard. Vitorbraziledit (talk) 22:11, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

The source is now available here. — Coren ^(talk) 15:02, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

I can't acess the source. Are you sure about import your bot to pt.wikipedia? The community is waiting for an answer. Please! Come on! Vitorbraziledit (talk) 03:46, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Oh, I think you misunderstood me. I do not have the resources (nor, frankly, the time) to operate another bot— especially on a wiki I am not familiar with. You might want to ask around on your home wiki for someone to operate it, or maybe here on the bot request page. — Coren ^(talk) 10:33, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Well, i can operate your bot there. But, we have a trouble: I never was operator of any bot! Can you help me? Where will i put the source? Vitorbraziledit (talk) 18:30, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

I'm afraid it may not be as simple as you hope; you need to have a server that is permanently online and from where you can run perl scripts, you need to be able to add modules to your local perl install via CPAN, you need to get a Yahoo application ID and edit the script to configure it. It's really not meant to be user-friendly or to be operated by someone without relevant experience— I expect your best bet is to find someone who already operates bots and wouldn't mind to configure and operate this one. — Coren ^(talk) 21:23, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

So, with this difficults, i wiil tell the community about it. I have other question: How did you put the messege about "CorenSearchBot leave a template on your talk page" that i can see when i edit this page? Vitorbraziledit (talk) 02:15, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

That's handled automatically by Mediawiki. The message is at User talk:Coren/Editnotice. — Coren ^(talk) 13:03, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

I asked the community (here) about your bot (link). I have other question: Can you tell me some types of bots that there here (vandalism, interwiki...)? Vitorbraziledit (talk) 20:34, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi.

I've tried to run the bot on pt.wiki, from the sourcecode. An error message appears on the DOS prompt:

Can't locate object method "new" via package "Text::Align::WagnerFischer" (perhaps you forgot to load "Text::Align::WagnerFischer"?) at nameofthebot.pl line 423.

Is it easy to solve it? lijealso (talk) 21:42, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

You need that module; I think it's available via CPAN, otherwise a quick google for it by name should give you what you need. I see install instructions there, that should give you a good headstart. — Coren ^(talk) 02:48, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

In the beginning I've installed the module but something went wrong. I'll try to follow the instructions on that page. Thanks. lijealso (talk) 19:06, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

karstwater Hello, I was trying to make a page for the St. Lawrence Boom and Lumber Company. I was relying on the text of a webpage and the searchbot said it was in copyright violation. Events of a personal nature have transpired but I will post the correction on this as quickly as I can if you feel the page is still in violation.

Double vote on "Macedonia 2"

Hi Coren, you seem to have accidentally double voted on Macedonia 2, please see the "Implementation notes". Thanks, Paul August ☎ 15:20, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Fix't. At least I didn't embarrass myself by contradicting my own vote.  :-) — Coren ^(talk) 15:39, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Where it says in guidelines you cannot use sentence quotes from external sites

"You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences." was the message of the bots. I have been edited hundreds of articles, which even contains quoted paragraphs. So can you possibly refer which guidelines refer you cannot source of sentences for Phil Goldvarg I had taken 3 classes for copyright and intellectual property at my time during 2 different universities, in addition to academic thesis writing, excessive apply of copyright arguments are not much helpful if you ask me. By the way after you state which particular parts or edits you refer, we can discuss this with more detail. Kasaalan (talk) 20:53, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

There is a significant difference between quoting a work, and copying it wholesale to "make" an article. In particular, the version of the article that was tagged was entirely copied verbatim. There is no "part" to point out, the entire article was plagiarized. — Coren ^(talk) 22:02, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Can you just refer which part of the article in that date 17 february was "entirely plagiarized". Paraphrasing was all I do with 2 quotes of writers personal comments, where it leaves as much space as possible for paraphrasing, since the text was consisting of facts and events, with clear referencing to the source. There was a message you appreciate feedback, that is what I am trying to do. Kasaalan (talk) 13:18, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

this is the version that was tagged. As is plainly visible, the entire first section is a cut-and-paste copy of this webpage. Placing well over two thirds of an article between quotation marks does not a proper quotation make; this needed to have been rewritten with a cite to the original, not simply lifted. — Coren ^(talk) 17:36, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Yes you have a point then. That is mostly because my editing style, I first quote the text, then paraphrase it. If it only objects 18:07 version and not objects 19:59 I have not much objection. However even in that text most of the quote consists of place names, magazine names, etc. If you can implement not counting private names to the bot, the bot may function even better.

J&S application - status?

Hi Coren,

Regarding my application to take part in the J&S guidelines discussion per this decision, it appears that the deadline has passed. According to FloNight, discussion of the application has taken place but the outcome was not disclosed [1], apparently through clerical error. Could you look into this? The most recent official status request is here. MeteorMaker (talk) 12:53, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Lemme look into it, I admittedly haven't kept up on that front in the past week or so. — Coren ^(talk) 17:37, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

It's been answered. [2] ☺Coppertwig (talk) 17:50, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

I'd like an official, binding reply, preferrably where the application was made [3]. MeteorMaker (talk) 20:07, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
