I encourage you to turn off the bot and leave your concern. Its much easier to re-start the bot then to un-do a list of edits

Your Bot...

...claimed an orphaned image resulting from an edit that actually screwed up the page it was on. I have undid the incorrect edit and will be contacting that bot's owner to have him/her figure out that particular problem. I'm not turning off the bot, but please make sure it doesn't delete Lucille and Other Classics at this point. Cheers. CycloneGU (talk) 20:08, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

I wont, the bot removed the tag for deletion only an hour or so after you fixed the article. Thanks! Tim1357 (talk) 10:56, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Cleanup listings

Hi Tim, I've just seen User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects, and I thought I'd point you to Wikipedia:Bot_requests#User:WolterBot, because having done that bot for unreferenced BLPs, it ought to be straightforward(ish) to do variations of that for other maintenance categories. I think this sort of thing is sorely needed, to provide wikiprojects with up-to-date To Do tasks which help keep them alive. Of course there are quite a few maintenance categories and presenting tasks from them in a friendly way is going to be more of a challenge; maybe a complete listing is actually not called for, so much as presenting a limited, regularly updated selection of relevant cleanup tasks. What do you think? cheers, Rd232 ^talk 17:31, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

I would like to see the focus remain just on uBLPs for now, but if/when we see some significant progress on clearing the backlog, then we could define a list of the most important clean up categories - (maybe just BLP related - the last WP:Australia Wolterbot list had 108 sections in total!), such as BLP refimprove, NPOV disputes and add them as selectable switches in the signup page - uBLP=yes (default to yes if not specified), BLPrefimprove=yes, NPOV=yes etc and have the bot output them into sections. If Wolterbot can be recovered and run by someone, it's would be goof to have as a complete, monthly total cleanup list, but the daily list is vital for the most important cats. Are computing resources - server time etc - likely to be significant for these tasks - even if it's run on hundreds of projects, or is that fairly irrelevant - just your time to do the initial coding/debugging?The-Pope (talk) 18:11, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

How do projects get added to these BLP alerts? I've been looking to get a list drawn up for WP:WikiProject Athletics. No doubt, a lot of unreferenced BLPs reside in this area. Sillyfolkboy (talk) (edits)^{Join WikiProject Athletics!} 10:51, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Thats a good Idea. Ill look around for some of wolterbot's code, but If i need to code a new one, what are the maintenance categories that you want listed? (Example: Category:All articles needing copy edit). If you could generate a list for me, it would be helpful. Other then that, it is not too much work, just a few more lines of code. Tim1357 (talk) 10:54, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

I hadn't really thought about it in detail. In principle, all of them! Perhaps initially a selection of different types of task (eg wikifying, NPOV dispute, references improving). Rd232 ^talk 16:04, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

File:"April in Paris" refrain.png

The replacement of File:"April in Paris" refrain.png with a scaled down version doesn't appear to address the copyright or fair use issues since size/quality of the image I created wasn't an issue regarding the copyright or fair use. Hyacinth (talk) 08:03, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Capitalized first letter

• 2010-03-20 17:56:08.746924: Possible Vandalism in The Witches of Eastwick (musical) by 78.144.199.74, reverting to 334244036 edit by CommonsDelinker

N the 'i love' regex. Tim1357 (talk)

Capitalized first letter "I Love" or "I Hate" indicate a proper noun that should be excluded from the regex. Sole Soul (talk) 06:12, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

No, that doesnt work, because we still want to match things like 'I LOVE JHONY DEPP'. I just reduced the points given to that regex. Tim1357 (talk) 17:25, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

But that is not capitalized first letter. It is highly unlikely that a vandal would bother capitalize first character. The other false positive "Dude" is also capitalized first letter. Sole Soul (talk) 21:20, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

DUMPREP question

Did you have any success with Wikipedia talk:Dump reports#Pages in cat Category:Disambiguation pages and have ("NRHP" or "National Register of Historic Places") in wikitext ? –xeno^talk 12:22, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Fair use on images

Hello,

I updated the page for Dunstable Town F.C. as part of my duties on the committee to run said football club. The badge has no trademark, and if it did surely I'm in a position to permit its use, and was created by myself. I've received a message threatening to delete the image to do with declaring it free to use.

Could you offer some guidance on the issue, as I've uploaded several images I've created/enhanced concerning clubs related to us which again have no trademark.

How's the bot going?

Your comments at [1] made me wonder if it was too difficult to finish or not. You said you had made progress. Dream Focus 03:28, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Chess BLP's

The bot keeps reporting no unreferenced BLP's in the Chess category. This is not the case. I'm going to turn it off if this continues because false reporting of information is worse then no reporting. Regards, SunCreator ^(talk) 03:38, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
