Help with tagging for WikiProject United States

Hey there sorry its been so long. Are you still available to help tag some pages with your bot. I noticed you hadn't been online much and wanted to make sure first before dropping a big list one here. --Kumioko (talk) 00:59, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Hey. I'm starting to work through the backlog of waiting requests now. Feel free to leave the list here, but it might be a bit before I get to it, since there's so many other requests waiting. - EdoDodo ^talk 11:49, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

Here is the start of the list. I'm not sure if you remember how we were doing it before but if not let me know. These are the easy ones and constitute about 36000 articles. I will add the next group shortly but they are a bit more complicated. Please let me know if you have any questions and if you don't mind drop me a note when you start the run. With so many of them I would like to spot check to make sure we don't accidentally do something we shouldn't. Thanks again for the help.

A couple extra projects

About 2500 articles

That should be all of it except a couple cats and dogs. --Kumioko (talk) 19:48, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Alright. I'll start work on the simpler ones this weekend. - EdoDodo ^talk 04:40, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

Importance of various map articles

I'm a bit surprised that the bot (Dodobot) has tagged Tithe maps as low importance and Estate maps as high importance. I would not have expected such a large disparity between the two. Presumably there is some rule, but I'm not sure what it is. Rjm at sleepers (talk) 08:20, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

Hello! The bot chooses the importance based on the rules at Wikipedia:WikiProject Maps/Categories (if an article is in several of those categories, it picks the highest importance one). Since Tithe maps was in Category:Maps it got a low importance rating. Estate map, however, was in the more important category Category:Map types, and was therefore given a high-importance rating. Even though I have very little knowledge of maps, I think that Tithe maps should also have been in Category:Map types, and should therefore have been given a high-importance rating as well.

You are, of course, more than welcome to edit the bot's importance rating. - EdoDodo ^talk 08:26, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, that clarifies things. I will add Tithe maps to the category map types. Rjm at sleepers (talk) 08:04, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Alright. - EdoDodo ^talk 15:19, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

improper tag

Easily removed but your bot tagged Talk:2011 Sony Ericsson Open – Men's Singles with WP:WMNSPORT.... definitely NOT an article about women. :-) Fyunck(click) (talk) 19:08, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Alright, apologies for the bot's mistake. I've tried to figure out why it got to that page, since it isn't in any of the categories the bot was tagging. I suspect it must have followed a redirect which brought it to that page, but can't confirm that since logs of the runs aren't kept. I really hope this was an isolated incident... I'll investigate some more later today to make sure there isn't a whole category that's been incorrectly tagged. - EdoDodo ^talk 04:29, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

Why was this article taged as within the scope of WikiProject Maps?

The talk page of Minimum bounding rectangle was recently tagged by this bot as an article within the scope of WikiProject Maps, which is clearly incorrect since it's not about maps but about a kind of data structure. —Kri (talk) 20:11, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

: That will almost certainly have been my fault - when sorting which categories to tag with that wikiproject took quite a while - and there were probably a few extra pages tagged in error (I tried to avoid doing that as much as possible) - and there a probably still a few map related articles that won't have been tagged as a result - sorry about that - it's almost certainly not a reflection on dodobot. So jsut remove the tag and away to go. I'll go have a look at that page and which category got it tagged - perhaps that means I need to untag a few other pages.EdwardLane (talk) 13:40, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

Ok I looked at that page, and it seems pretty clearly a of interest to someone making maps - MBRs are frequently used as an indication of the general position of a geographic feature or dataset, for either display (that would be a map I guess?)...

And it is listed under category 'cartography' amongst other things. So I think that was a correct tagging.EdwardLane (talk) 13:45, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

Well, sometimes even if the category is completely relevant to the WikiProject, a few of the articles inside it can be slightly off-topic. It's up to the project whether to leave these or just untag them. - EdoDodo ^talk 04:29, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
