CFB North Bay Page

Good day. I'm replying to your question about copyright of the photograph of the F.3 flying boat, on the Red River, Manitoba, in October 1920. The image is from the Canadian federal government (specifically the Department of National Defence archives), therefore in accordance with the Canadian 50 year rule on government photographs the image no longer has a copyright, is in the public domain. Thanks. 22WHERO (talk) 19:46, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@22WHERO: Could you point to where I asked about the photo's copyright? I haven't edited CFB North Bay (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) or your talk page. — JJMC89 20:06, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
My bad. It was another address. I'd transcribed your address from your revision of the page's update on 3:03 12 Jan 2017 and the address of the intended recipient, who sent the query to me, on the same notepad. I'll ensure to pay better attention in the future. Cheers. 22WHERO (talk) 20:26, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Geobox

I added support for |coordinates=, |capital_coordinates=, |highest_coordinates=, |lowest_coordinates=, |source_coordinates=, |source1_coordinates=, |source2_coordinates=, |source_confluence_coordinates=, |management_coordinates=, and |government_coordinates= to {{geobox}} (search the geobox code for coord= to find them all). the core code is in {{geobox2 coor}} which is called by {{geobox}}. when converting transclusions to the new format, |display=inline,title should be added to the coordinates passed through |coordinates=, if it exists, otherwise added to |mouth_coordinates=, otherwise added to |capital_coordinates=. however, if |coordinates_no_title= is non-empty, then |display=inline,title should be added to none of them. the {{geobox2 coor}} template uses {{geobox2 coor type}} to determine the region: and type: for the coordinates. I may need to tweak the insert code in {{geobox2 coor}} if there is a problem with how the default and override works. let me know if you see any problems.

Template:Infobox Municipality PT

You just took the latd/longd parameters out of Template:Infobox Municipality PT, but the articles have not been converted yet. Did you mean to edit Template:Infobox Municipality BR instead? – Jonesey95 (talk) 05:36, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I did. Reverted for now. Thanks, Jonesey95! — JJMC89 05:43, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
No trouble. You, Frietjes, and I have made a pretty good team on this coordinates project, cleaning up each other's edits and keeping things moving. – Jonesey95 (talk) 06:11, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Minor bot error in coord template

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Take a look at this output from the bot. type:region:IT_type:city(24230) is not right. I think I see how it happened, but regardless, it's an error. I don't know how many edits made it through like this, but there is an error report of all coord syntax errors available. I'll try to make you a list from that report. – Jonesey95 (talk) 06:01, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Here's a list, sorted in a way that made sense to me. I imagine you have the tools to do text processing on this list, but if not, let me know if you want the list of articles in a different way. I removed a bunch of articles from the report to make this list, narrowing down to only the "too many colons" errors. I suspect that all, or nearly all, of the errors are the result of the bot's edits, based on the type of error and the types of articles. – Jonesey95 (talk) 06:06, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I noticed that. It is due to |coodinates_type= being mapped to {{geobox coor}}'s |9= instead of |type=, as the name suggests. ({{geobox coor/sandbox.*}}'s |type= adds type:. |coordinates_parameters= would have been a better name.) I still need to fix some of the bot configs after double checking the infoboxes. () I'll write a script or bot to fix the effected pages and maybe some of the other problems in that report. — JJMC89 17:17, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds good. The very low number of complaints we have received so far is evidence that the bot is doing great work. The minor problems have typically been quirks in the individual templates that we needed to adjust or account for, rather than problems with the bot. Keep it up.
It will be nice to get these settlement articles behind us, but I think we have at least another month of bot edits before we are done (max 10,000 edits per day on something over 200,000 articles, I think). – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:22, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Afc List

Hey, So Mainspace edits are the only ones counted? Best Regards Shawrix (talk) 09:27, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. — JJMC89 09:28, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the information. I'll keep that in mind. Shawrix (talk) 09:32, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
But I couldn't edit the page before 500 total edits, does that indicate something? sorry for the talkback. Shawrix (talk) 09:35, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It means that you are WP:EXTENDEDCONFIRMED (able to edit WP:ECP pages), which is not related to AfC qualifications. — JJMC89 09:42, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!
