Hey, I saw your addition to the Lady Elizabeth 1879 page. I like to thank you for providing an updated picture to the page. Great job and thanks again! LukeDuke1980 (talk) 07:17, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Missing Image

Hi, I undid your change to Mount Breaker because the File link you added does not work, and I couldn't find one with a similar name, assuming it was just a typo. I thought you should know. Cheers for now. Jan1naD ^{(talk • contrib)} 15:27, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

That's ok. It was not uploaded to Commons yet. - 4ing (talk) 19:20, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

Mount Miller (Ross Dependency)

In creating this article:

• you gave distances in nautical miles, whereas the source article gives them in miles - please clarify
• you used the deprecated template {{Coor dm}} which has been superseded by {{Coord}}
• you have omitted the antarid when using {{usgs-gazetteer}}
• you linked "mountain" and "Antarctica" - see WP:OVERLINK

All these points are a lot simpler to do at article creation than later. Best. Jan1naD ^{(talk • contrib)} 14:14, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

Hope it's better now. - 4ing (talk) 20:34, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for making those changes. I assume you're using some sort of script to create these Antarctic articles, and even bigger thanks if you've now updated the script. ;-) Jan1naD ^{(talk • contrib)} 21:42, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

I have copied the text from Wikipedia:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles/Antarctica, which contains all geographical names in Antarctica as compiled by the USGS. All links there are now blue, but some of them link to other features with the same name. When I discover this, I usually create the missing page by copying the preformatted text and do some minor editing. From now on, I'll try to apply your comments above. - 4ing (talk) 21:54, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

An apology. It looks as though I managed to confuse myself when it comes to the distinction between statute miles and nautical miles. I have since discovered Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles/Antarctica#miles? which just makes this area even more complicated.

Hi, thanks for fixing the page. I have reported the IP to WP:AIV, hope it gets blocked soon. Btw, since you are admin on no wikipedia, could you please help me in making user page (I have here). I tried but it was quite complicated. Torreslfchero (talk) 19:44, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 20

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Låvebrua Island, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Henry Foster (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Your revert at Norwegian State Railways

Hi, I couldn't help notice your ES: Sockpuppet overfocused on WWII when you reverted this article after a series of edits by User:Creambreek. What is your basis for claiming that he is a sock? If he is he should be blocked, but I can't do that without credible evidence. Bjelleklang - talk 22:22, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

This is a recurring sockpuppet, but it seems that no one is willing to block the socks without time consuming investigations and checkuser first. There is an ongoing investigation on Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Sju hav, opened four days ago. Faster blocking could probably reduce the activity of the sock. - 4ing (talk) 07:53, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

Sorry for the delay in responding to this. I have blocked the accounts confirmed as SP of Sju Hav. Will keep an eye on the SPI and see what the CU says about the others. Bjelleklang - talk 07:32, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

remaining sock cleanups

Hello 4ing, thank you for cleaning up the recent sockpuppet additions per Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Sju hav. I have removed some additions with questionable sources from Nazi concentration camps in Norway as well (but kept others); if you are interested in this topic and have time, I'd appreciate a double-check of my edits - feel free to revert any deletions, that you disagree with to keep the article as factual as possible. Best regards. GermanJoe (talk) 08:42, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for your edits. I have no special interest in the topic, but I support removal of the xockpuppet edits. I have also open a new case on the duck White girl syndrome. - 4ing (talk) 10:54, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of The Spit (South Shetland Islands)

Hello 4ing,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged The Spit (South Shetland Islands) for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. WikiEditCrunch (talk) 10:03, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

Adding WikiProject tags to talk pages of articles you create

Hi! I've seen some of your recently created pages and I think that it would be helpful if you could place WikiProject Banners at the talk page of the articles you create. Currently it seems that the relevant projects are WP:WikiProject Mountains and WP:WikiProject Antarctica. I've done it for you on Talk:Mount_Armstrong_(Antarctica) if you need an example. Thank you for the good work! Darylgolden^(talk) Ping when replying 13:19, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

You can use this tool to help you add the WikiProject Banners. Darylgolden^(talk) Ping when replying 13:23, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

stubs

Hallo, Please watch out not to add {{stub}} to an article like Mount Cooper (Antarctica) which already has a specific stub tag. It just wastes other editors' time. Thanks. PamD 08:16, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

@PamD: I guess you are referring to this edit by User:Jamesbushell.au? You've wasted my time, but everyone can make mistakes ;-) - 4ing (talk) 08:27, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

Oops, sorry about that! Some people make mistakes consistently ... the other changes in that edit looked a bit off too ("unref" and "refimprove" are incompatible...), but I'm not that familiar with sourcing of Antartica (I just stub-sort stuff, mostly). Happy Editing! PamD 08:33, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

January 2017

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Mount Powell (Antarctica). You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Public-domain sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 15:35, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

Piranshahr

Just to let you know, while it is important to tag unreferenced facts with citation needed, you have to actually avoid doing that for things inside the article's infobox — the population field inside the infobox is coded to automatically add commas to delimit the thousands column in a number if it isn't present in the number as typed, so placing a citation template there caused the template to automatically generate a redlinked and unwanted maintenance category for "Articles with unsourced statements from April 2,017". The cn template should stay on the population figure in the body text, absolutely, but I've had to remove it from the infobox since that was the only way to eliminate the redlinked category. Thanks.

Nomination of Republic of Norway for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Republic of Norway is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Republic of Norway until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Thryduulf (talk) 21:49, 26 May 2017 (UTC)

Can you explain why you turned the bot off?

You can't just turn the bot off, and not communicate to the bot operator as to why it was switched off. I'm inclined to turn it back on unless you can explain to me what the problem is.—CYBERPOWER (Chat) 10:51, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

@Cyberpower678: I tried to follow the instructions on no:Bruker:InternetArchiveBot. In addition to disabling the bot per procedure, I filed a false positive report at the IABot Management Interface. Users complained about false positive dead links, and a check showed that a significant number of the dead links tagged by the bot, was false positives. In addition, the bot did not respect manual rollback of these edits. - 4ing (talk) 11:20, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

Yea, sorry about that. I see the false positive reports. I'm still working on cleaning up the bad data in the massive DB, which is contributing to this problem. Consequently, I'm also refining the false positive reporter to make it more adaptive and more intelligent in regards to automating and quick responsiveness. As for respecting rollback, that's not in its code, and due to a technical limitation, will likely not support that in the near future.—CYBERPOWER (Chat) 11:25, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

@Cyberpower678: I've now filed more false positive reports. I've checked between 50 and 100 bot edits, and found that approx. 20-25 % of the bot edits are false positives. Do you have a target number for an acceptable ratio of false positives? - 4ing (talk) 12:35, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

The bot's true false positive rate is <0.1%. The problem is the fact that Labs has gotten blocked on many servers, and that is what caused the false positive rate to massively spike like that. I've added some new functions to intelligently detect these blockages, however, it only applies to links being found dead after August 20th. The old DB entries that are false positives need to be purged from the DB. So far that's only done by reporting them in the interface, but I'm working on a better solution right now.—CYBERPOWER (Chat) 12:43, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

I've done some enhancements to the false positive reporter, and I've fixed a bug that was causing whitelisted entries to de-whitelist themselves. I'm inclined to re-activate the bot. For false positives, keep reporting them as usual. You will find that in many cases they will autocorrect completely and take effect immediately. Any objections?—CYBERPOWER (Around) 20:03, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

@Cyberpower678: Fine with me, I'll try to keep an eye on the edits. - 4ing (talk) 20:53, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

You're going to need to explain to me why you reported http://www.tunehistorielag.com/artikler/kirker-og-kirkeliv/tune-kirke/ because all I get is 503 errors from any server/computer I access it from.—CYBERPOWER (Around) 22:26, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

It loads well on my computer (although a little slow). - 4ing (talk) 04:35, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

Antarctic miles

Hi, thank you for your explanation, I intended mile as statue mile and not nautical mile, in the article is mentioned mile only. All the best.Chesipiero (talk) 18:31, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

Joinville Island

Hi,

I reverted your edit at the aforementioned article. The only source just simply writes mile, so I suppose the page refers to the international mile, but correct me if the USGS mentions elsewhere that they use nautical miles.
