Discussion
[edit]- The YouTube conversion (see third bot request) just finished, now I want to move on to non-Google domains. I converted Wikileaks manually (before I became aware of the bot-option) several months ago, so that one is done. I'm open for further suggestions. --bender235 (talk) 15:01, 2 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Approved for trial (100 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. (50 of each) - report back results and any issues. — xaosflux Talk 15:08, 2 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks. But before starting, I thought of maybe adding a few more websites of this kind to the list. Just now, I realized
https://www.amnesty.org/
(Amnesty International) andhttps://www.aclu.org/
(American Civil Liberties Union) should also be included, both of which we also have a couple of thousand external links. --bender235 (talk) 16:46, 2 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]- OK, same trial - do 25 of each instead. — xaosflux Talk 19:43, 2 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- Trial finished, results here. Can't guarantee it's exactly 25 for each domain, since I ran 100 articles selected at random from the complete batch. But it's definitely some of each. --bender235 (talk) 20:58, 2 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
