Mr.Bradford, Pl. do not delete the image of Sri Malladihalli Raghavendra swamiji, as it can be obtained with prior permission from the authors, in the mean time pl.note it can be used for commercial or non-commercial purposes. Shivashankar kt 04:06, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Bradford N. Smith

Could you please take off the tag on his (Bradford N. Smith's) trivia section, I think I fixed the problem. Thanks

You don't have to ask me to have the tag removed. Although I personally think it should stay, since there still is a large amount of trivia that should either be removed or integrated into the article. --Android Mouse 01:34, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, Thank you anyways.

You have a bot setup to delete double redirects?

I can find wikipolicy against double redirects, but not any in favor of deleting them. Can you switch the bot the ittiest bit so it, I don't know, CORRECTS double redirects rather then deletes them? It's not that hard to avoid an infinite loop. Mathiastck 07:45, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My bot doesn't delete anything, it only notifies users when the articles they created have become nominated for speedy deletion. --Android Mouse 16:25, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

On a side note, do you consider yourself a deletionist? Mathiastck 07:45, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, neither I or my bot even have the technical capability of deleting articles. --Android Mouse 16:26, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speed deleteion of User:Spanish2

Hi there, I just received notification of the planned deletion for this item. I apologise for not getting the coding and templates right, I'm a newbie and I suppose I shouldn't have been doing that kind of thing yet, because I've clearly gotten it wrong.

If you could let me know how I can go about fixing this problem and how to prevent this new userbox being deleted I would be very grateful.

As you can see, I have added this userbox to the following list: [[1]] with the intent that it be added along with the other content there.

Sorry again for any inconvenience.--TeDejoMadrid 17:27, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, it looks like you have created the infobox in the wrong namespace. You've created User Spanish2 in the main namespace (only encyclopedia articles go here) and one in the user space User:Spanish2 (only userpages go here). What you are looking for is to create the userbox in the template namespace, such as Template:Spanish2. Also, welcome to wikipedia! --Android Mouse 17:31, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, thanks for replying so quick. Okay, I understand now I've went wrong by not creating a template, but how should I go about fixing this problem now? I'm not entirely sure how to fix the entry, so would I be better leaving it to be deleted and creating a new template? Thanks for the welcome, too, by the way!--TeDejoMadrid 17:38, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Since User:Spanish2 isn't yet marked for speedy deletion, I would suggest you add the {{db-authora}} tag to it, for it to be deleted. Then recreate the userbox whever you'd like in the template namespace, such as at Template:Spanish2. --Android Mouse 17:45, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much, I've done as you said and everything seems to be okay now. You've been a great help!--TeDejoMadrid 17:50, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your bot

Your bot informed me of the speedy deletion nomination for the now-non-existent page Top 400 Restaurant Chains. This is a clear malfunction, I've never edited that page. - PatricknoddyTALK (reply here)|HISTORY 19:42, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that. But since the page is now non-existant there isn't much I can do to debug the problem. --Android Mouse 20:39, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Per the history, Patricknoddy did create the article on 23 July 2006. The bot was correct. -- JLaTondre 20:48, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

{{db-copyvio}} vs {{db-g12}}

The first template is included in the selection of your bot, but the second (a redirect to the first) is not. Errabee 23:48, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, it will now scan for that tag also. --Android Mouse 23:53, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

a bit TOO speedy deletion

I added a refrence to a computer program which is an example of a related topic on code generation.

Your instructions claim to let me put a hangon tag in the page to either edit it or justify it. I felt is was relavent as other related software such as Zendcart are cited in Wiki. The idea is not to promote the product, but to put it in context of the technology set in which it exists in the world of webmastering.

nevertheless this is not my issue. My issue is that the page is GONE, DELETED, I cannot fix, or challenge the "Speedy deletion" allegations. It is less than 24 hours since this entry was made. Your speed needs to provide sufficient time to respond.

details of the acusation are below.

DbQwikSite

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on DbQwikSite, by Peterl, another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because DbQwikSite is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting DbQwikSite, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. This bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate DbQwikSite itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. Thanks. --Android Mouse Bot 2 04:02, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

That message wasn't left by me, it was left by my bot. According to the message it left you, Peterl is the one who nominated your article for speedy deletion. To quote my bot's message, "This bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion". Also, neither I or my bot have the technical capability to delete articles. All deletions are reviewed and confirmed by an admin, which wouldn't be me. --Android Mouse 07:26, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Curtiss P-40

User:Android Mouse Bot 3 absolutetely detstroye all the reference tags and templates on the Curtiss P-40 page (see [this diff]. While adding "trivia" tags, it removed all the < symbols from the article and replaced them with < code. It did the same thing on Northrop F-5. It is 3:30am, so I am not going to check all the edits it has done tonight. Please stop the bot until you can fix this. Thanks. - BillCJ 07:31, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing this out, the bot has been stopped until I can sort the problem. I'll go ahead and look over all the edits its made so far and correct any similar problems. --Android Mouse 07:34, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. It doesn't appear it did it to all the articles it edited for trivia tags, as F-15 Eagle, and some non-aircraft articles I glanced at, are OK. - BillCJ 07:39, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think I have the issue sorted now, but I'm leaving the bot offline until I can run a few more tests tomorrow. I also went through and corrected the few remaining bot errors that you didn't get to first. Thanks again for pointing this out before it became more severe. --Android Mouse 08:01, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bot problem

I was looking on the contested pages for speedy deletion - and I noticed that on one userpage your bot had put an actual tag - something was really off with the coding. Try using {{t1}} or <nowiki>{{hangon}}</nowiki> (right now your using a malformed nowiki tag).danielfolsom 15:23, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Now I see the problem - in the coding your using <nowiki> to write the nowiki tag - which obviously doesn't work.danielfolsom 15:25, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for alerting me. Can you point me to the userpage you are refering to so I can track down the specific template that has the problem? --Android Mouse 16:34, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

After looking through the bot's revisions, I have found the problem. This is actually the same problem as pointed out above with my other bot, it is not encoding '<' characters correctly. This problem arrises because I rewrote the replacement code for my bots last night. The problem was the replacement function I wrote returns prematurely if the replacement string is the first in the text to be replaced. For example if the text is '<abcd <' it would only replace the first less than sign and leave all the others untouched, which caused the issue you see. If you look at the problematic revisions you will find that the less than sign is always the first character of the page. This should now be fixed, unless there was more than one issue causing this problem. Sorry to anyone who my bot wrecked their talk pages. I'm going to scan through and fix any of the ones that haven't already been fixed. --Android Mouse 17:02, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Apligraf(R)

Hi, thanks for intimating me about the artilce. I created the article in good faith and would have no qualms if someone were to edit, modify or manipulate the article as I feel it would be of general interest for students pursuing medicine and biotechnology. However to label it as 'blatant advertising' is nothing short of ridiculous and I strongly object to the insinuation. Please do the needful to get the article back on Wikipedia. Thanks. Sriram sh 16:04, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please re-read the message my bot left you. Thanks. --Android Mouse 16:35, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bot 3

You might want to have it exclude Featured Articles. I think we can assume they've had a good inspection to see whether the "Trivia" section is of appropriate length or if not they should go to review. Whacking an automated tag on the article isn't helpful (I'm not convinced it is worthwhile on any article, but certainly not on an FA). Yomanganitalk 18:11, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have deleted the Trivia tag from Minnesota, an FA article which survived ~240 edits while on the main page 11 May. Its Popular culture section is textual in nature, rather than a list, and it seems to smack of elitism to permit sections on highbrow culture while restricting discussions of to popular culture. Regards, Kablammo 18:24, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
There is no need to be insulting. I have modified the bot to not tag pop culture sections and have also changed it to not modify featured articles. --Android Mouse 18:27, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I was not insulting; I'm sorry if you took it that way. (I surely was not speaking of your intent, and please accept my statement that my intent was not to insult you.) After looking at some other articles, I see the reason for the tag on popular culture sections. A section which is devoted to a list of appearances of the subject of the article "in popular culture" is an invitation to a list of trivial references. But a discussion of the popular culture of the subject of an article is a different matter entirely. I suspect it might be difficult to program a bot to recognize the distinction. In any event, thanks for the change. Kablammo 18:33, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Apologies, I took your message the wrong way. Maybe eventually I could have it distinguish between the two, but that will probably serve to be more difficult than expected as you pointed out. --Android Mouse 18:37, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings, Android Mouse. Your bot tagged Lexus with a "trivia" tag. The popular culture section is separate from a trivia section (of which there is none in this GA) and notable for this article about a vehicle manufacturer, as it mentions 3 specific points relevant to an automotive make: 1) a unique concept vehicle that was produced, in partnership with a film, and shown at auto shows; 2) usage of the automotive name in specific commentary, marketing, and titles; and 3) early adopter examples cited in media. Each of these three items, discussed in 3 medium-short paragraphs, is supported by primary source materials. I have looked through WP:IPC and trivia guidelines, and this section has been judged notable by reviewers and other editors. If the bot is simply tagging this section because of its "Popular culture" title, I would question the tagging is warranted. Please advise. Enigma3542002 18:31, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing this out. It will no longer tag pop culture sections. It is now restricted to the sections, "Facts", "Trivia", "Cultural References", "Miscellanea" and "Other information". It will only tag the sections if they are over 512 bytes in size. This limit can be upped if felt necessary. --Android Mouse 18:34, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Addition of "Trivia" template - which guideline?

Please reference which guideline you are referring to as to the placement of this so-called "trivia" information in Maine. Thanks very much.--Chrisbak 18:22, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WP:TRIVIA. Since the bot isn't good at distinguishing between relevant pop culture sections from unneeded trivia sections I have restricted to only tag articles with the headings "Facts", "Trivia", "Cultural References", "Miscellanea" and "Other information" --Android Mouse 18:30, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Soon after I posted here I also posted this question on the Administrators' notice board. Replies included some relevant guidelines and "essays" on trivia, but others replies seem to question the use of a bot for this purpose.--Chrisbak 21:29, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (medicine-related articles), please remove "cultural references" from the list of headers you are tagging. --Arcadian 22:33, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It has been removed for several hours now. "Trivia", "Facts", "Miscellanea", and "Other information" is all that it is scanning for now. --Android Mouse 22:36, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not use illegitimate criteria to delete categories

It seems that Category:National symbols of Palestine was speedy deleted on the grounds that "is very short providing little or no context to the reader" This simply was not a legitimate reason to delete this standard category type (see Category:National symbols by nation). LukeHoC 20:29, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please read the message the bot left you. Thanks. --Android Mouse 20:44, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Trivia tag bot

Can you have the bot date when it dropped the tag on each article? --myselfalso 22:52, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand, all its edits are automatically dated in the page histories. --Android Mouse 22:56, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm referring to having the bot place {{|trivia|date=May 2007}} rather than just {{trivia}}, like placing a date on the {{unsourced}} tag. i.e.: {{unsourced|date=May 2007}} --myselfalso 00:26, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, ok. All new bot edits will also contain the month and year as you suggested. The problem is, is that the trivia template doesn't print the date it was tagged. I would change it to act in the manner similar to the unsourced template but it is protected. --Android Mouse 00:33, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, cool. I'll make a request to have that changed. Thanks! --myselfalso 02:51, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Finding trivia

I notice that some people are complaining about how the bot finds "Trivia." While I don't know exactly how your bot works, it might help to only tag such sections (except for the obvious "Trivia" and the like) that are formatted with a bulleted list and have the heading, as most legitimate sections are written in paragraph form. Mr.Z-mantalk¢ 22:59, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is a link to a museum which is run by a local authority/council and therefore is non-profit making and the only connection to myself is that I was born nearby. The Way We Were building was in existence in circa 1777 and therefore pre-dates the film of the same name from 1973. The Way We Were museum serves local and regional schools in an educational role by depicting life in 19th century Britain. The museum also holds a conservation role for the built and industrial environment in the local area. I have yet to add further information to the section on the Wigan Pier entry about the actual museum...I hope you understand. Mark.

Please be aware I didn't nominate the article, according to the bot's message User:Whstchy did. If I were you, I would make a note on the article's talk page about this and also possibly notify User:Whstchy too. --Android Mouse 00:17, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Trivia tag

Do you plan on actually improving any articles yourself, or only on tagging them and expecting others to do the work? Baseball Bugs 00:43, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A little of both. --Android Mouse 00:47, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Good. I don't want to have to do them all myself. :) Baseball Bugs 01:04, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

On a related topic, if you're going to tag articles containing trivia sections, could you put the tag on the top of the page, instead of in the trivia section? For one thing, it's likely to be noticed more there, and for another, it looks kind of stupid seeing a tag saying "this article contains a trivia section"—in the trivia section itself. D'oh! +ILike2BeAnonymous 05:10, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Some articles already have many cleanup-type tags on the top of the article. Adding another tag at the top could cause too much distraction. --Android Mouse

Trivia - Ontario

User:Android Mouse Bot 3 placed a trivia tag in Ontario, and it's in a section that doesn't look large or trivial. --Sigma 7 01:36, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're right. This was added when the bot tagged pop culture sections, which it no longer does. --Android Mouse 01:47, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't see any trivia in Hill v. Church of Scientology of Toronto either. AndroidCat 04:23, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're right. But I've renamed the section to 'Overview' instead of simply 'Facts'. Nice username, btw. --Android Mouse 04:55, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Nothing to do with me but I noticed four strange edits to User talk:Willirennen made by Android Mouse Bot 2 that you might want to take a look at. -- Nick 18:35, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing this out. The problem was that the bot doesn't yet recognize the nowiki tags. Since the nominator used the nowiki tags and placed two brackets inside the reason given, the bot thought that this was the end of the tag and direclty placed the nowiki tags in screwing up the template it was placing. I'll add in recognizition for these tags soon. --Android Mouse 18:46, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I hope you don't mind if you could please sort out this mess one of your bot has done to my talk page, as that has made all later comments unreadable. I would be very thankful if you do. Willirennen 00:58, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I thought I had fixed your talk page. Now it should be atleast. --Android Mouse 01:08, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

image speedy tag

I got a notice from your bot about a speedy image tag... and I wasn't sure why. Then I looked at the history and realized that I'd edited the Image: page. The problem is, the "reason" that the bot was messaging ME was not clear. If the bot messages someone because they edited a page, it should say something like "An image you edited has been..." or the like. Thanks. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 18:41, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's interesting. I'm not even sure where the bot got your username . It checks this page [2] yet there aren't no revisions appear, especially not your username. Sorry about the confusion --Android Mouse 18:55, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Trivia bot

I am not sure whether is is really good idea to run an automat on what is quite problematic part of Wikipedia, at least without prior wider discussion what to do (if it happened I didn't notice).

Dealing with trivia is an unsolved problem, one way of dealing with them was to offload this information into leaf articles (see Category:In popular culture so the maintainers won't be bothered anymore). Suggesting (what the bot demands actually feels almost as a new and very strict policy) to disperse the trivia inside the main body of text could become nightmare for regular maintainers - not only they involuntarily get involved (via watchlist) in trivia edits but they won't be able to quickly recognize and ignore them (as they could if these factoids are in separate page or section).

I suggest stopping the bot, possibly reverting his actions and to start a discussion about new policy to deal with trivia. If any such policy will get institutionalized it would allow in more consistent handling of trivias and would reduce the current chaotic situation. Pavel Vozenilek 19:20, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The bot is only automating what would have been done manually (and what has been done manually and semi-manually for a long time without issue). It also only tags articles witha trivia section larger than 512 bytes, so it won't be tagging a two to three sentence section. If one finds the tag is unwarrented in the article, it can be removed and the bot won't ever add it back to that same article. --Android Mouse 19:27, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I seem to find this trivia tag redundant and excessive to WP. 'EVERY' page has 'trivia' on it, there's no reason to tag every page. --Shuki 19:34, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
A large trivia section denotes sloppiness. Well developed articles should have all information organized into relevant categories, not just a large 'other' (aka trivia) category. In some instances trivia sections are warranted, but only if they remain relativly small. In those extremely rare occurances the tag should obviously be removed. --Android Mouse 19:37, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
There is some info - call it "trivia" or "significa" or "notable notes" or whatever - that is useful and interesting, and does not fit into the "flow" of an article. That's not to say that the trivia section is always right, as some of it amounts to laziness, sometimes it can be redundant by restating stuff that's already in the article, and some of it can be split into separate smaller themed groupings, which is what I usually try to do. When pushed. :) Baseball Bugs 19:41, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Exactly, in some cases it is relevant and warranted. Perhaps the trivia template could be reworded slightly in order to make it seem more like a suggestion instead of sounding like 'this must be done'. --Android Mouse 19:43, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The concern is that someone is going to follow up with a meataxe and just chop it out without even looking at its merits. Baseball Bugs 19:46, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The bot is IMHO automating the counterproductive way to deal with trivia. As long as people see that trivia (and/or popular culture references) are allowed in Wikipedia they will put them in. And the worst what can happen is to sprinkle trivia inside the text. Separating them helps both readers and maintainers.
The reason why I write this is that I spotted the tag just added in Cabaret (movie) article. Yesterday I did some research for a new page related to this text and IMHO the current trivia is more less on topic and not in contradition with other sources. The article originally contained something very incorrect (and ridiculed outside) which was later rather carefuly reworded and put among trivia. Now what can happen: someone will obey the tag's comandement and will move the facoids around the text. And if he makes just a small and easy to overlook change to keep the narrative consistent he may reintroduce that mistake again and people can wonder what kind of strange modification of "Wacht on Rhein" made the song. Pavel Vozenilek 20:01, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Good point. As Red Green says, "If it ain't broke... you're not trying hard enough!" Baseball Bugs 20:08, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Your concerns could really be applied to all cleanup-type tags in some form or another. Yes, someone could mistakenly move the trivia around incorrectly, but that is all part of the process. --Android Mouse 20:16, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Cleanup tags are usually inserted into articles which should be rewritten anyway, so there's usually not much harm done.
Some trivia may be lousy, some may not and the automated sweep could make good articles worse - what the tag suggests is seemingly simple, almost mechanical task and that's what I fear. Somehow similar situation I met: tags {{wikify}} on new articles are often handled just by adding few hyperlinks, w/o actual change of the text. Pavel Vozenilek 20:36, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Your bot cannot differentiate between large and small trivia sections, please refrain from spamming with it. --Basique 00:27, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
This has already been discussed. --Android Mouse 00:34, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The addition of the trivia tag, implying that all trivia sections have no value and thus should be removed or collapsed into the article, doesn't seem to mesh with overall consensus in this area. Certainly overly lengthy or crufty trivia sections should be pruned, but marking articles with two or three pieces of trivia as absolutely requiring some sort of edit seems flawed. This bot isn't adding anything to these articles. -- Slordak 03:49, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
As stated previously, it only adds the tag if the section is greater than 512 bytes. This typically averages to be about three to four bullets or the equivilant to a larger sized paragraph. What commmonly happens with trivia sections is that a new editor sees the section and decides to add in a quick fact or two without ever really thinking much more about it. This type of editing is what leads to the extremely oversized sections we see in many articles currently. The tag is a great way to get new editors to think twice before adding the one or two facts they'd like to add, and gets them to think of where it could be more appropriatly placed. --Android Mouse 03:56, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Pardon my observation but... 'appropriatly?' Just when I was going to correct the Engrish part of the trivia section Android Mouse Bot 3 tagged... --Mairebleu 10:38, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
How does my spelling relate to the bot at all? --Android Mouse 17:44, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Trivia tagging in Wikipedia namespace

I just noticed this where it added the trivia tag to an old WP:BJAODN (diff), I don't know if it's by design or not (thought probably not) and just wanted to check if it's ok 84.67.152.236 23:04, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed --Android Mouse 23:31, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bot error

Your bot just added the trivia tag to Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Style guidelines. This is definitely an inappropriate place for it - please correct your bot accordingly, preferably to just not run in anything but the Article namespace right now. Phil Sandifer 23:06, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. --Android Mouse 23:31, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Your bot added trivia tags to law articles with a "Facts" section, e.g. this edit. This is inappropriate, for law articles have a background facts section that is definitely not considered trivia. enochlau (talk) 05:43, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for alerting me. I would although argue that the section would be better named as "Overview". --Android Mouse 06:29, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Improper tag on Wikiproject Opera

Your bot tagged a section on Wikiproject Opera discussing how to deal with trivia sections as trivia. Others have already mentioned that the Wikipedia namespace might be a good place to exempt from the bot and that sections in paragraph form should be exempted. I am hoping that you will address these concerns and in the meantime stop the bot from tagging trivia sections. -- Myke Cuthbert (talk) 06:21, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing this out. It shouldn't have tagged anything in the Wikipedia namespace. I'll have to take a look over the code to see what I did wrong. As for stopping it, it is already stopped since it finished going through the list of articles before I saw this message. It won't be running again for at least a few weeks, enough time for me to fix the code. --Android Mouse 06:28, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unnecessary tags on U.S. Supreme Court cases

Hi Android Mouse, I am one of the people doing work for WP:LAW and WP:SCOTUS your bot added trivia tags to these articles on U.S. Supreme Court cases: Arlington Central School Dist. Bd. of Ed. v. Murphy, Woodford v. Ngo, Osborne v. Ohio, Zedner v. United States, and Ewing v. California. These articles do not contain any trivia, but rather give the facts, legal reasoning, and holding of the cases. Please revert these edits when you have time. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page. Thanks. --Eastlaw 07:38, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Articles fixed. Thanks for the notice. --Android Mouse 07:42, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

thebot

The bot added a trivia tag to April Fool's Day. Trivia needs to be weeded. Have you considered that the tags could go on the Talkpages, so as not to disturb readers? (imho) — Newbyguesses 11:31, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's traditionally gone on the article itself. --Android Mouse 16:35, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

T-Vice

I would like to know what you exactly mean by notability of the subject. I don't understand why it is a candidate for speedy deletion because I stated information on the group's success and popularity. Please answer back because I would not want the article to be deleted~ Spyder00Boi

Bot finished

The bot you requested has been finished and approved. I found that the Birds category and the Jurassic park category are nested somewhere within the Dinosaurs category. I have excluded those along with the Fictional dinosaurs category. After excluding those there are about 3,000 articles within the category. I didn't check if all of them are directly related to the dinosaur project or not. A sample output of the bot can be found here. If there are no modifications or any other categories you'd like me to exclude I'll redirect the bot to edit the page you pointed out earlier. --Android Mouse 23:13, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Android Mouse!
First of all, thank you for your incredibly fast work. I never thought the bot would be working this soon. I cannot believe how quickly you pulled it together. Thank you.
However, there is a problem: Wikipedia:WikiProject Dinosaurs/dinosaur articles by size lists the articles by size. I thought the bot would sort the articles by size; it's a little more difficult to tell which article (usually the shortest) need the most work, if they're all mixed in together. I'm sorry I was unclear. Is it too late to request that the results be sorted somehow (preferably largest to smallest)?
Also, I have other questions: is it possible for the bot to ignore the GA-inline and FA-inline tags so that they can be kept, as shown on [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Dinosaurs/dinosaur articles by size

]]? Can the text at the top be kept and/or modified? How often does the bot run? Does it run automatically, or do you run it? How long does the updating take? If a user updates the page manually, what happens when the bot tries to update the page? Article #3053 and some others are blank; what causes this? Is it possible to exclude Category:Dinosaurs in fiction? Sorry for the long list of questions. Thank you again for all of your work. Firsfron of Ronchester 01:07, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is going to be so awesome. You have no idea how much time and energy you will be saving us, AM.
As far as the GA and FA tags go: I would like to have both the Good Articles and the Featured Articles listed on the list, with the little icons next to them, if possible. The icons tell us which articles have reached Good or Featured status, so we know which ones still need work. Being able to compare an article with the size of an improved article gives us a rough gauge of how much it might take to get the article up to GA or FA status. So if the bot can update the list while keeping the icons in place (on the correct articles), that would be great. I'm not even sure how that would be done.
Transclusion onto the bottom of the original page sounds like an ideal way to go, at least from my way of thinking: it would allow the explanation on the top of the original page to be kept, unaltered.
Once a day, even once a week, is fine for an automated interval. I would prefer if you ran it, if it needs to be manually run, because I wouldn't want to f*** something up. The only "bot" I use on Wikipedia is WP:AWB. You indicated on my talk page that it would automatically run. If that's the case, there's probably no reason for me to be messing with it. But if this is something that needs to be maintained, and it would require you to put in a lot of work to keep it running, I don't want to make you responsible for putting in a lot of time all the time, and I know you have other bots that need maintenence and development. And what happens when the bot "breaks down" or some new Wiki development causes the bot to no longer function properly?
That's all I can think of for now... Firsfron of Ronchester 04:22, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

advice

My exceptionally active friend, I think you should edit your bot a little to explain to people how they can figure out who deleted an article, and what to do after that. The first step is to ask the admin directly, not ANI. see WP:WMD, and that at least should be said. Everyone who asks above is a potential loss to WP, as are the people who just go away without asking. (We should also amend the author notification template--I'll raise that point where it's appropriate) --Suggested wording: Instead of

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting (whatever), please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. This bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate LGBT animals itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot.

say:

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting LGBT animals, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page.If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at [[WP:WMD]] This bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate (whatever) itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot.
And considering all this, I'd think you would do very well do archive using the bot for the purpose, which is what people expect. You make your user name the best known one in WP, you can expect some flack (smile) DGG 01:29, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I've made your suggested changes. I also added a link to the deletion log of the page. Although, I'm not sure if you purposely left out a direct link to the log or not, since it might cause users to go straight to the admin's talk page instead of reading the WP:WMD page first. If this was the case I can remove the direct link to the page log. --Android Mouse 02:27, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind on that last part. Aritcles with spaces destroyed the external link to the deletion log, so I've just removed it. --Android Mouse 03:50, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Android Mouse Bot 2 Possible Tweak

I don't know how much you pay attention to your bot's talk page, so I thought I'd mention it here. I answered a question by Fredrick day that might entail a possible tweak to your bot (assuming it can actually detect the condition). Occasionally, an admin will delete an article while someone is editing it to add the speedy delete tag. If so, when they save it, they actually re-create the article. If the bot can detect the creator and tagger are the same, it shouldn't leave a message (this is complicated by cases where someone else edits the article after the tagger re-created it). -- JLaTondre 18:37, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the suggestion. It should now not issue notifications if there is only one edit. Although I have excluded this rule for images because many are created with the {{db-noncom}} template automatically appended due to licensing issues. --Android Mouse 18:49, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I thought I had responded to your comment, but I hope you weren't mislead into thinking that I was the one that nominated the article for speedy deletion. My bot only notified you that someone else did. --Android Mouse 00:29, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Recently I added information on the collection history of this Roman Antiquity photographed by User:Jastrow. I can't tell what could be wrong, that this image is about to be deleted.

contested articles

Not sure what's going on here - your bot has left a couple of messages about things like this. Thing is, I'm not creating such articles, rather I'm tagging them for delete. Any idea what's happening? --Fredrick day 18:02, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

From the history of these two articles (Briana hampton & Tom Gibbs), they were both tagged & deleted at the same time and then subsequently deleted again. For example:
Page History
  • 21:01, 26 May 2007 . . Mommiey poo (Talk | contribs | block) (442 bytes)
  • 21:01, 26 May 2007 . . Fredrick day (Talk | contribs | block) (492 bytes) (Marking page for deletion using NPWatcher)
  • 21:00, 26 May 2007 . . Mommiey poo (Talk | contribs | block) (478 bytes) (←Created page ...
Deletion History
  • 21:20, 26 May 2007 Irishguy (Talk | contribs | block) deleted "Briana hampton" (A7) (Restore)
  • 21:01, 26 May 2007 Irishguy (Talk | contribs | block) deleted "Briana hampton" (A7) (Restore)
I'm guessing that Irishguy deleted the article while you were applying the tag so that when you saved the tagged version, you actually created a new version of the article. It's an unfortunate occurrence, but I have seen it happen multiple times before. Android Mouse may be able to modify his bot to detect when the tagging is actually the creation of the article and skip a message in that case. -- JLaTondre 18:31, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am also not sure what's going on here - your bot has left a couple of messages about cateogries that I have nothing to do with. I vaguely remeber creating them a while back for users who were creating articles to fill them, I'm not creating such articles, I'm all for tagging them to delete. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Expecting you" Contribs 21:21, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As you said, you created the categories (one on 24 October 2006 & the other on 25 October 2006). The bot notifies the page creator and doesn't have a way of knowing (nor does anyone else) that you created them by request. -- JLaTondre 18:31, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I missed this discussion since I don't normally check the bot's talk page. See here. --Android Mouse 19:00, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

DinoSizedBot

Hey Android Mouse!

It looks like the bot is running perfectly, and I have transcluded the sandbox page. This is so cool. How does the bot add the GA and FA tags? Does it detect them automatically, or do you have to tell it to? I ask because eventually we'll get more FA and GA articles, and I don't know the procedure to get the bot to add new tags once an article has reached GA or FA status. Thanks again for this cool bot. Firsfron of Ronchester 19:20, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Forgot to mention: don't worry about if the bot's estimate is a few bytes off. We just need a rough gauge of measurement, and do not need exact to-the-byte results. A few bytes make no difference. Firsfron of Ronchester 19:22, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

?

Your bot notified me that Image:Crystal_Clear_app_katuberling.png was proposed for deletion, though I do not know why. I am not the author, simply acontributor who cleaned up the vandalized description.

RebDrummer61 22:51, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies for the mix up. The bot previously issued notifications for the db-i2 template. In those cases the first editor in the page log is normally not the creator, because of this the bot mistakenly notified you. It appears you got this notice right before I stopped the bot from issuing notifications for this template. --Android Mouse 00:27, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Trivia bot - good effort

I will continue to attack the horrible trivia bot on discussion pages wherever I see appropriate. However, I would like to stress that I in no way think you wrote it in bad faith.

Re:Nomination for Deletion...of  [Image:Purple_panther.png]

  • Nice Little Bot you have. I'd like to Officially post a comment/response to the Bot's activities, as suggested on the "Nomination for Deletion" {{Template:_template_parameters}}

  • Comments:  
  1.  Gives me a proper protocol/procedural education for image usage and content used by that image.
  2.  It would be nice to know who nominated it, as I feel that it was a good and responsible act of nomination for deletion; I would like to thank the person, and see if they are interested in participating in finishing the project to which the image is directed from.
  3.  Now that I have re-uploaded an image with APPROPRIATE licensing tags, or proper CopyRight©   {{Template:_template_parameters}}  usage.
  4.  New Image is now the following:  WHS_Purple_panther.png™
  5.  The task of removing the Purple_panther.png™ image has been done, please DELETE  the Old image of Image:Purple_Panther.png in light of the new upload: Image:WHS_Purple_Panther.png, which is a better naming convention anyway.

Jerry.zambrano 04:28, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your suggestions and comments, I appreciate them.
1. I'm not sure what you mean. Do you have any specific suggestions on how to improve the messages the bot leaves?
2. In the specific case of Image:Purple panther.png, it wasn't nominated by anyone. When you uploaded it, the speedy deletion tag was automatically appended because of the licensing issue. On other cases where files or articles have been notified by another editor, the bot does specify who nominated it.
3. Incase you didn't know, you don't have to reupload the image to change the licensing of it.
5. Since I'm not an admin I can't delete the image myself. What you can do is revert the edits you have made to Image:Purple panther.png to the original uploaded version. This will put the original speedy deletion tag back on the current version and eventually an admin will delete it.

Systems House/Infoart deletion

So sorry to hear about the deletion of the Systems House page. I understand that there may have been some problems with style, but the cited reason for removal was 'un-noteworthy'. It's perhaps too late to make an argument for this artist? They are quite young, but their work has been shown at quite prestigeous gaeries including Victoria Miro (one of London's top blue chip galleries), Michel Janssen (a major art dealer in Cologne), The Henry Moore Foundation, and Chisenhale gallery. They have also been seected for EAST, a very prestigeous exhibition in the UK; their work is also incuded in the Saatchi Collection. Is quite an established portfolio to illustrate the artists importance in relation to contemporary art. If it's possible to reinstate this page, would be appreciated. Am happy to make any edits or alterations if necessary. Many thanks, --Infoart 11:55, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My bot only notified you that someone else nominated the article for speedy deletion. It also didn't delete the article. According to the message it left you, Freshacconci nominated both Systems House and Xiang Jing for speedy deletion. According to the deletion log for Systems House, it was deleted by Tyrenius. You might want to talk to Freshacconci and ask why they nominated it. If you feel the page should be added back, talk to Tyrenius since they have the ability to undelete it. --Android Mouse 16:50, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Xiang Jing/Infoart deletion nomination

Sorry for another plea for inclusion: Xiang Jing has been a very established and famous artist in Asia for many years, and is increasingly becoming more well-known and sought after in the west. She has had solo exhibitions at the Shanghai Art Museum, The Chinese European Art Centre, China Art Seasons, and Tuan Cheng Gallery (the Chinese equivalents to MOMA or Gagosian in New York). Her work has also been represented at: MOCA Shanghai, Jack Tilton (top NY gallery), The Irish Museum of Modern Art (Dubin), The National Gallery of Poland (Warsaw), and The National Gallery of China (Beijing). Her work is showcased in the ESSL Collection (Vienna)and Saatchi Collection (London). One of her small works is being auctioned quite soon by Ravenel, a leading European art auctioneer, with an estimate of $35000-55000 USD. For her full cv and biography please see: http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/artists/xiang_jing_biography.htm

Nice Recommendation - Let's stick to Real Cleanup

I just got this note on a template. While I appreciate your input, it seems like an opinion rather than a policy or rule. If the info was outdated, you may have a point in deleting, but it is accurate so it just seems like you're being authoratative without policy.

A tag has been placed on Template:2007 Chicago Cubs Starting Rotation, by DandyDan2007, another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Not that it's a major problem, but I thought I'd let you know, your bot left me a speedy deletion notice for a page I didn't create — I moved Roberto Mancini TES to Roberto Mancini (TES) in keeping with WP:NAME, so when the former was speedied, my move appeared as the first edit of the latter, which I assume is how your bot identifies a page's creator. — Swpb talk contribs 01:11, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's okay. I'm sorry I posted the article. So few people know about it that it's not worth knowing. It's o.k. to delete it!

Thanks,
