Re:Redlink removal

I'm doing it with a program I whipped up out of some of the code I use for the maintenance of the DEP pages. I could reverse the links it removes and provide it to you if you want, but it's written in Python and so requires both the Python software and the Python Wikipediabot Framework if you don't already have them. Let me know if that will suit your purpose or not; if it does I'll e-mail it to you.--Dycedarg ж 02:13, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes this suits it perfectly. It would be great if you could send this to me :). ·Add§hore· Talk/Cont 06:45, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Stubs

Please do not add the category {{stub}} to disambiguation pages. Use {{Disambig}} instead. Thanks! Woodshed (talk) 23:42, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry but the bot doesn't know if it is a disambig page. But if the bot says disambig anywhere on it then the bot will skip it so that it doesn't tag it. Just wondering but which page was this? ·Add§hore· Talk/Cont 00:19, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summary

You left an edit summary warning on my talk page, but didn't fill in the article entry to which you are objecting. I don't fill in ES for small edits, commentary edits, or edits in a series of edits where I already left an ES that I was working on a major cleanup, as more than one ES would be a redundant nuisance. I'd invite you to look here to see where I add ES when they are necessary. --Faith (talk) 10:05, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry for this. I try to only send this message to people that make around 5 edits with no summary but i guess i must have seen something when i sent the message. I have removed the message now as i see you have seen it. I am sorry for any of your time i have wasted. ·Add§hore· Talk/Cont 11:20, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Blanking of WP:OP header

You blanked the WP:OP header, apparently by mistake. I've re-added the header, since it looks accidental. Nwwaew (Talk Page) (Contribs) (E-mail me) 16:00, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm yes i actually don't have a clue how i did that :S. Thanks for re adding the header for me and being so understanding. ·Add§hore· Talk/Cont 16:07, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tagging and Fixing

Hi, the bot just keeps adding this as an edit description. Can something be done to give an edit description as to what it has done to the article. In some cases there is no tagging at all. A description of what has been fixed or tagged would help in scanning watchlists. Many thanks Keith D (talk) 16:35, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am afraid in AWB there is no way to add an edit summary for each type of edit. One thing it does do is if ti adds a tag it will say which tag. I am hopping that a feature like you described will be added soon but it will take time and alot of hard work from the developers. ·Add§hore· Talk/Cont 16:45, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Addbot removing stub template?

Addbot recently removed a math-stub template and made no other changes to the page: [2]. I'm guessing this is not the intended behavior, so I'm bringing it to your attention. Ozob (talk) 00:22, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The bot is actually meant to do this in its tagging routine and it knows what to unmark from stub by how many characters there are on the page. If it is above X ammount it will remove the tag. ·Add§hore· Talk/Cont 19:45, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am suggestion... When the candidate himself updates the Tally in his RFA, it wont look much good to many people. There are lots of other people who are willing to do it. I personal advice is to leave it to them -- TinuCherian (Wanna Talk?) - 16:43, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The only reason I do this is as I am trying to add answers to the article and if people update the tally without me knowing I keep on getting edit conflicts. If I do it then I know that no one else has to do it but I see where you are coming from. ·Add§hore· Talk/Cont 16:46, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Workaround for status bot update interval

I noticed your comments at Soxred93's talk page about status bot's interval time. I just thought I'd let you know I hacked up a workaround, feel free to modify to taste:

  {{ #switch: {{User:StatusBot/Status/Xenocidic}}
   | online=<font color=green>'''Online'''</font>
   | offline={{ #ifexpr:  ({{#time:U}}-{{#time:U|{{User:StatusBot/Status/Xenocidic/LastEdit}}}}) 
     > 7200 | <font color=red>'''Offline'''</font> | <font color=orange>'''Somewhat Online'''</font> }}
  }}

Presently it will show me "Somewhat online" if my last edit was less than 2 hours ago (7200 seconds). cheers, xenocidic ( talk ¿ review ) 15:40, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for this find! ·Add§hore· Talk/Cont 15:42, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No problem. credit goes to CBM at VPT for help with the #time stuff. xenocidic ( talk ¿ review ) 15:44, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: TBGS copyright issue

(copied over from my talk page:) Hi, Addshore. There's really not too much reason to take it over to OTRS now, because in any case the content you added wasn't really relevant to the article, which is why I deleted it in the first place; it was only subsequently that I realized that there was a problem with plagiarism / copyvio.

I should say that I feel somewhat bad if something I pointed out were to mean that your RfA failed. But it is a serious issue, and I thought it important that I mention it. And then your initial response rather compounded the problem. You obviously have lots of supporters, and do good work in other ways on the encyclopedia (though here's a bit of vandalism that you missed!). I feel sure that, if you attempt fails this time, you will have more success in the future.

In the meantime, if you want help working on an article--and I think it's useful that you gain some experience there, simply so you know how Wikipedia articles are written, and the issues involved--I'd be happy to help out. We would work on improving TBGS, for instance.

All the best. --jbmurray (talkcontribs) 23:07, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Addshore, just a note of appreciation for your recent support of my request for adminship, which ended successfully with 112 supports, 2 opposes, and 1 neutral.
