DYK Problem is getting worse

DYK:Problem. This seems to be happening more now. Maybe it's just one nomination, but I don't know which one to correct. — Maile (talk) 12:03, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Single line breaks

See Template:Did you know nominations/BR-319. The text of the BR-319 article often includes single line breaks, as:

The interfluvial terrain has very flat topography, with altitudes ranging from {{convert|30|to|50|m}}.
The northern region from the [[Amazon River]] to kilometre 260 is covered in recent sediments between 7,000 and 27,000 years old.
Minor variations in elevation of {{convert|1|to|3|m}} cause shallow seasonal lakes to form.{{sfn|BR-319 – INPA}}
In the north and central sections the vegetation is dense lowland rainforest.
To the south, near the [[Humaitá]] and Porto Velho municipalities, the forest is open lowland rainforest.{{sfn|BR-319 – INPA}}

See User:Aymatth2#Line breaks for the reason. This displays as:

The interfluvial terrain has very flat topography, with altitudes ranging from 30 to 50 metres (98 to 164 ft). The northern region from the Amazon River to kilometre 260 is covered in recent sediments between 7,000 and 27,000 years old. Minor variations in elevation of 1 to 3 metres (3 ft 3 in to 9 ft 10 in) cause shallow seasonal lakes to form.^[1] In the north and central sections the vegetation is dense lowland rainforest. To the south, near the Humaitá and Porto Velho municipalities, the forest is open lowland rainforest.^[1]

The bot interprets some of these lines as paragraphs with no reference:

✗ Paragraphs [12] (The ... old.),[27] (In ... railway.),[28] (A ... carbon.),[31] (A ... flawed.),[49] (In ... R$7,510,500.),[51] (On ... issue.),[56] (In ... license.),[58] (She ... problems.),[60] (Cyclists ... exploited.),[65] (The ... Parintintín.),[72] (In ... (CEUC).),[74] (A ... area.),[75] (However, ... paper.),[77] (The ... east.) in this article lack a citation.

A single line break has the same effect as a space when the article is displayed, and should be treated the same way by the bot. Once this is fixed, perhaps you could rerun the bot against the DYK nomination. Thanks, Aymatth2 (talk) 15:04, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads-up. I wasn't aware of the reason for single-line breaks but I'll make the appropriate modifications to the bot so it only registers double-line breaks as new paragraphs. Intelligentsium 16:19, 8 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for that. The bot really is useful in looking after all the standard checks. Thanks again, Aymatth2 (talk) 18:38, 8 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

DYK bot request

Just a quick question, I noted you put the DYK bot on manual operation only. I understand that given it clogged up the syntax. But could I ask if the bot could be run just on Template:Did you know nominations/Robert Rinder please? Just so I know that I have defiantly done a 5x expansion. The C of E God Save the Queen!

Question

Will the DYKreviewbot start to work again. Or is it on definite hiatus?. Regards,BabbaQ (talk) 08:21, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Because even though it had some issues I guess, it was a really good help to speed up the nomination process. Cheers.--BabbaQ (talk) 08:22, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please make me a content box

Intelligentsium please go to my talk page and make a a Content box I would really appreciate it. Fdmjiv (talk) 02:19, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

How is the DYK bot triggered?

How is the DYK bot triggered? Does it automatically run on all nominations (apparently not, given that many nominations weren't responded to). Or is there a special incantation that will trigger the bot to review it? Might it be a good idea to explain this in the bot's page? HaEr48 (talk) 00:38, 23 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm currently waiting on labs access. It is currently running on an old computer I own, but I've been having problems with the computer recently. I can run it manually from my laptop until I get access. Intelligentsium 22:21, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
