Coordinates parameter cleanup
I wonder if you would be willing to run your bot (task 7) through the articles listed under "Ω" at Category:Pages using infobox settlement with unknown parameters. There are thousands of pages (I estimate about 48,000 articles) to be cleaned up with edits like this and this. Thanks for considering it. – Jonesey95 (talk) 05:40, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
- @Jonesey95: Without Template:Geobox coor/sandbox2 (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) none will be converted to {{coord}}, just removed. If that's okay, then yes. — JJMC89 06:48, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
- My sense is that there are thousands of infoboxes with blank lat/long parameters but N/S/E/W filled in because of copying and pasting from an example template or article. Those N/S/E/W values are not displayed and are safe to delete as long as the lat/long are blank. You should be able to do an initial pass with an automated version of the exact replacement that I did manually: "\|latd=\s*\|latm=\s*\|lats=\s*\|latNS=[NS]\s*\|longd=\s*\|longm=\s*\|longs=\s*\|longEW=[EW]" replaced with nothing. Then we can look to see what is left. I just looked at a dozen random articles, and they all followed this pattern. – Jonesey95 (talk) 07:01, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
- I'm busy IRL, so I'll look at this once things have calmed down. — JJMC89 05:19, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
Running... — JJMC89 22:58, 2 December 2017 (UTC)
Done. There are a few hundred left for manual cleanup. — JJMC89 18:57, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
- Super. Thanks. I'll clean up those outliers. Just 200 left out of about 48,000 is fantastic. – Jonesey95 (talk) 22:40, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

Edit summary
I found this following edit summary for Signals, Crane and Subway, Charters Towers railway station
Editor's summary: Task 15: Lowercase per RfC
Charters Towers is in Australia, not China. Just thought I'd mention it in case the bot has escaped its geographic confines. Kerry (talk) 06:14, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker)
The decision is that Chinese stations and others should conform to the convention used elsewhere
(emphasis added). The list of stations on which the bot is operating is linked from the BRFA. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:33, 3 December 2017 (UTC)- Then it would seem sensible that the edit summary said that and save me the waste of time reporting what appears to be erroneous behaviour. So am I not supposed to question the operation of a bot especially one that is driven by the mysterious BRFA? Kerry (talk) 00:37, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
- Edit summaries have limited characters. Even the current one is too long to fit in the history for that page. — JJMC89 04:14, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) Kerry Raymond: The edit summary clearly links to "Task 15", which goes to the BRFA. The RFC and the list of pages on which the bot is operating is linked from there. Given limited characters, I don't think it could be clearer. If you have a concrete suggestion for a different edit summary, please make it. – Jonesey95 (talk) 05:04, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

Thank you
And very happy holidays. 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 03:57, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
- Cheers, 99, happy holidays! — JJMC89 04:07, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
- From me as well, to both of you. Drmies (talk) 16:51, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks, doc, happy holidays! — JJMC89 02:59, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
Matt Zagula
Thanks for editing the page I created. I'm new to Wikipedia so would love some help. What is Linkrot? I read the page on Wiki about it and all the references I used are active and independent. Is there anyway I can improve the page? Appreciate your help. Wikilover2604 (talk) 04:12, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
- You should click on the links and do some reading. These too: WP:PAID, WP:COI. — JJMC89 04:52, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
- Hi. I disclosed my paid edit at the time of creation. It is on my talk page along with my employer name. Have I done so incorrectly? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikilover2604 (talk • contribs) 05:00, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
- Read WP:DISCLOSEPAY. Your talk page is not one of the three pages that you must use for disclosure. — JJMC89 05:08, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

DCS
You used your bot account to make a substantive edit here, Please be careful to avoid it. Furthermore the edit was advertising, and has been removed. The rules about promotionalism apply everywhere in WP, not just to article pages. DGG ( talk ) 22:30, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
- @DGG: The content was from Talk:Alok Bhargava/Comments (edit | subject | history | links | watch | logs) (now deleted). My bot only copied it to the main talk page to discontinue the use of comments subpages. Ameerag is the user that originally added the comment. — JJMC89 22:59, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
Gabjil
Please move Draft:Gabjil (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to Gabjil. I am the instructor in this course, I think the article is fine for namespace, and I do not find the draft system useful in education (reviews take too long). We requested that the article is moved to mainspace, not to draft space. Thank you, --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 07:35, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
Already done by another editor (and sent to AfD). — JJMC89 18:56, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
New Page Reviewer Newsletter
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/57/Wikipedia_New_page_reviewer.svg/120px-Wikipedia_New_page_reviewer.svg.png)
Backlog update:
- The new page backlog is currently at 12713 pages. Please consider reviewing even just a few pages each day! If everyone helps out, it will really put a dent in the backlog.
- Currently the backlog stretches back to March and some pages in the backlog have passed the 90 day Google index point. Please consider reviewing some of them!
Outreach and Invitations:
- If you know other editors with a good understanding of Wikipedia policy, invite them to join NPP by dropping the invitation template on their talk page with:
{{subst:NPR invite}}
. Adding more qualified reviewers will help with keeping the backlog manageable.
New Year New Page Review Drive
- A backlog drive is planned for the start of the year, beginning on January 1st and running until the end of the month. Unique prizes will be given in tiers for both the total number of reviews made, as well as the longest 'streak' maintained.
- Note: quality reviewing is extremely important, please do not sacrifice quality for quantity.
General project update:
- ACTRIAL has resulted in a significant increase in the quality of new submissions, with noticeably fewer CSD, PROD, and BLPPROD candidates in the new page feed. However, the majority of the backlog still dates back to before ACTRIAL started, so consider reviewing articles from the middle or back of the backlog.
- The NPP Browser can help you quickly find articles with topics that you prefer to review from within the backlog.
- To keep up with the latest conversation on New Pages Patrol or to ask questions, you can go to Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers and add it to your watchlist.
