revert explained

I have reverted your edit of Anti-union violence, for the reasons explained here: Wikipedia:Bot_owners'_noticeboard#Concerns.2Fcomplaints_about_bot_tasks_and_practices

Also, discussions here:

Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)#Bot_to_reduce_duplicate_references

and possibly, here:

I have read the various references and apologise for the disruption to your article in development. I think for most stable, mature articles the reference cleaning process is valuable. However, since it is too difficult to distinguish these, I'll go fix something different. welsh (talk) 20:32, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi, thanks. No hard feelings, i know that removing duplicate references has been a standard practice for a very long time, and i agree that the process is less impactful on mature articles. I hope that someone will come up with a method to lessen the impact on articles under development, perhaps by allowing greater selectivity. Richard Myers (talk) 21:38, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

Question about sorting of interwiki links

Why is Русиньскый sorted after Русский, as in this edit? —Coroboy (talk) 09:43, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

The sort order used by AWB is defined at Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/IW, and is not alphabetical by iw code. I can't explain why that is! welsh (talk) 09:50, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

The code for Русиньскый wasn't in the table. I have had added it, so the sorting of these two languages should be correct in future. —Coroboy (talk) 13:10, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
