Dates and file links

Just a heads up, on this edit you broke a file link. Cheers. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 18:28, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And another one here. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 19:53, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I've fixed my script so that this will never happen again. I've also verified all my edits that have been made to pages linking to the template in question - no more of them had this problem. 1exec1 (talk) 21:34, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Date format (Years in literature, Retrieved)

Hi. Does WP:MOSNUM imply that Carnegie Medal succession boxes should not link the award date to Category:Years in literature. At The Machine Gunners (revision history) I have retained that one change while reverting Retrieved-date format changes that were not "per WP:MOSNUM".

That first paragraph is a copy of my note User talk:Robina Fox#Carnegie Medal succession box to the editor (December 2008) of the succession box. --P64 (talk) 22:59, 12 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The relevant guideline for my change is WP:YEARLINK, I don't think there's much connection between a particular award and all developments in literature that happened in the same year. 1exec1 (talk) 23:44, 12 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

HMS Amethyst (1799)

Hi 1exec1, I reverted a change you made. In converting some things to dmy format, you changed a direct quote. The clasps for the Naval General Service Medal (1847) followed relatively idiosyncratic and inconsistent practices with respect to a number of things, including dates and abbreviations, including those of months. However, it is anachronistic to change them. Regards, Acad Ronin (talk) 04:40, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that. I've fixed the part of my script that deals with quotes - these should now be left untouched. Thanks! 1exec1 (talk) 13:45, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Great. That's what Wikipedia is about - continuous incremental improvement. Regards, Acad Ronin (talk)

Date formats

Hi 1exec1, I noticed you changed the date format in List of 1920s jazz standards. I don't think that this is correct, as WP:STRONGNAT encourages using the month-before-day format for US-related topics. I think the change should be reversed. Regards, Jafeluv (talk) 10:44, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I undid the change. 1exec1 (talk) 12:37, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

new work list request

Now that I've finished processing the articles on the lists you made for me, could I ask you to analyse the articles on my to do list and sort it in the same way as the previous list so that the dmy/mdy decision is apparent? The list are of all articles where there are dates with errors or otherwise non-compliant with MOSNUM given by the regex (date\s*=\s*)([1-2]\d{3})(–0?\d–([0-2]?\d|30|31)|[\-–]0?\d[\-–]([1-9])|[\-–]\d[\-–]([0-2]?\d|30|31))(?=\s*[\|\}]). Cheers, -- Ohconfucius ^{ping / poke} 14:10, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. My scripts sort articles by looking at Wikipedia dumps. It is thus currently not possible to sort a predetermined list of articles. I'll see what I can do though. 1exec1 (talk) 19:06, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
