LanguageTool Wikicheck

I'm the author of LanguageTool. These are some sentences that deliberately contain errors, in order to test the LanguageTool/Wikipedia integration (a.k.a WikiCheck):

Programming, open source, & Wikipedia

Hi! I see you're interested in programming. I thought you might want to know that the Wikimedia open source community welcomes you to get developer access so you can contribute code, critique others' commits, and generally get a better sense of how this place works on a technical level.

Also, the Wikimedia Foundation is hiring programmers, in case you know anyone who's looking. Remote work is often feasible.

Feedback on Language Tool

Feedback here on the Bugs To Do list. Is there a way we can delete the flagged "bugs" items one by one, so they don't keep adding forever and forever? I've looked through this list on Davy Crockett, and nothing there is really an error in grammar. In fact, you'll notice that it even flagged a section header for lacking commas, which section headers don't generally have. — Maile (talk) 16:48, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Maile, thanks for your feedback. Flagging bugs isn't yet possible. It's a bit tricky to implement, so I cannot promise anything. It might also make more sense to work on the quality, so we get less false alarms, but we'll need help from the English language community for that (I spend most of my time on improving the rules for German). --Dnaber (talk) 19:51, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please do chime in

Notability within bios (more specifically: application of wp:GNG/wp:BIO against wp:AUTH/wp:PROF...and both vis-a-vis vagaries of actual practice!)

I.e. - Is Matthew Grow, editor of The Council of Fifty, Minutes, March 1844–January 1846 (The Church Historian's Press, which is an imprint of Deseret Book; 2016), notable? Is Benjamin E. Park, who reviews him here: "The Mormon Council of Fifty: What Joseph Smith’s Secret Records Reveal" (Religion & Politics, September 9, 2016)? Please chime in on a way to determine such questions in a much more consistent manner than at present...here: User_talk:Jimbo_Wales#Suggested_fix.--Hodgdon's secret garden (talk) 19:46, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
