You online? Let's chat :P -FASTILY (TALK) 17:44, 9 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thoughts?

What do you think? "Contains Elements from Blacklist" appears to be slightly broken but it shouldn't be too difficult to fix :p -FASTILY (TALK) 22:36, 9 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Something is wrong. All of the ones that have Template:Information in them are being passed over by your bot, even when there should be nothing that would prevent them from being tagged. Sven Manguard Wha? 22:52, 9 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The bot also looked over File:Otemon.jpg and did not tag it. File:Otemon.jpg is already at commons. Is there any provision the bot has to recognize that kind of thing? Sven Manguard Wha? 23:23, 9 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, should have explained the report better. This page is an analysis of 1,000 random files that transclude {{PD-self}}. The program I used to generate this report did not actually edit any pages. Instead, it reviewed each listed images' respective file description pages, checking to see if each page:
Hope that helps to clarify things. Regards, FASTILY (TALK) 01:47, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ah. Sven Manguard Wha? 02:12, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Just finished resolving several bugs. Looks like we're good to go. Anything with a "No" in the "Page Transcludes items in Blacklist?" is probably eligible for transfer to Commons. Regards, FASTILY (TALK) 06:01, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
If you want to crank it up, crank it up. I'd actually like to add a few more templates to the whitelist, since you don't want to do multiple runs. What do you think about adding the whole PD-USGov suite in? That aside there's no reason not to start, so long as it's working properly. Sven Manguard Wha? 06:21, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Let's do it. FWIW, you needn't ask me for whitelist/blacklist additions; the amount of work you've done for this bot project basically gives you that right ;) Thanks for all your help! Best, FASTILY (TALK) 06:29, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I got all the government ones. The US government has 100 templates, which lends itself to a few jokes (one of which is in the edit summary of your whitelist). There are some templates I'm trying to find the names of, a few national archive collections, and I can't find them right now, but whatever. Start 'er up when you're ready.

File:Pudagla-Greifenwappen.jpeg

Hallo Sven Manguard, changing the file extension without reason like you did at File:Pudagla-Greifenwappen.jpeg creates replacement work. Please do not do it. Cheers --Saibo (Δ) 14:51, 9 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I do a lot of file moving locally, and tend to change the extension almost subconsciously, but it dosen't really pose a problem then because the file name has to be replaced in the articles anyways.
In this case, (maybe it was Google translate), the file name on de.wikipedia was unworkable anyways. I was seeing "File: Pudagl.." instead of "File:Pudagl..", and that kind of spacing issue really is worth the effort to go and fix, as it trips users up when they try to place the file.
I guess you have my apologies if you want them. Thank you for fixing everything on the de.wikipedia end. Sven Manguard Wha? 17:39, 9 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
If you change a file name anyway - sure - you can change the extension. But here the file name was not changed ("Pudagla-Greifenwappen" before and after your renaming) and hence no replacements (about 8 in total) would be necessary and no red links would be show up anywhere. Cheers --Saibo (Δ) 03:01, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Must have been Google translate issue then, because when I did a cut paste, there was a space like > "File: Pudagl.." < in it. Ah well. Sven Manguard Wha? 03:03, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Police helme

Sorry, I missed your q, "<Sven_Manguard> Chzz what's the difference between a CP and an MP";

CP is City of London Police, who cover only the very centre of London (a tiny police-force); MP is Metropolitan Police Service, who cover the rest of Greater London (and is massive).  Chzz  ►  12:03, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please Stop Following Me

You closed my games proposal at the village pump. You dragged me into a sockpuppetry case to which I am completely unrelated. Recently you answered a question of mine at the help desk, and I thank you for that, at least. However, those three things combined are slightly annoying to me. I politely ask that you not respond to anything of mine for a short while - perhaps a week or two. I will appreciate it if you do. Interchangeable|talk to me|what I've changed 23:05, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am not trying to follow you, and I actually didn't notice you were the one that asked that help desk question. I happen to be active in FAC, the Village Pumps, Help Desk, all the file namespace related notice boards, and... well... the file namespace. I will look out for your name in the future and avoid your questions, if you like. Sven Manguard Wha? 00:53, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've left you all a wonderful little note about all the canvassing. This is beyond absurd.

Fakers

That according to the Wikipedia page "List of crime movies of the 2000s" and according to many online sources such as this: http://www.trueknowledge.com/q/art_malik_and_who_starred_in_fakers - the film came out in 2007. Why brand me a vandal? --82.10.203.103 (talk) 06:49, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

BTW, I was only trying to help Wikipedia. I was on the 2000s page and saw Fakers under the 2007 section, so thought I'd correct the article itself to read 2007. But I get branded a vandal. Now if I edit the list of crime films of the 2000s page and move Fakers to the 2004 section I'll probably be called a vandal again.

This is one of the reasons I've abandoned my Wikipedia account and now can't really be bothered to edit anymore. Everything is branded vandalism, nobody bothers looking into things --82.10.203.103 (talk) 07:01, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
