Peer reviewer js
Hi Andy, I tried to install your semi-automated peer reviewer into my monobook.js, but even after quitting, emptying the cache, and reloading a number of times, I can't get it to work. Any suggestions? Thanks. --Fbv65 e del / ☑t / ☛c || 19:48, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Never mind, seems it's working now. Great tool, thank you! --Fbv65 e del / ☑t / ☛c || 19:54, 31 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi Andy, I tried to make a minor grammatical fix to your bot, which you appear to have reverted. – I don't know if this was intentional or not, but "may be" is correct in this context. ("Maybe" is an adverb, and leaves you without a verb.) –Joke 02:23, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I figured it was unintentional, and that you wouldn't get many outside edits. Do you just edit the script directly in the edit window or do you mainly work on it locally on your machine? Thanks! –Joke 03:09, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi Andy - thanks for fixing my monobook to work with the peer reviewer - I was going to get around to it when I had need of it again. However, I don't seem to have the option to perform the review. Horus Kol 09:29, 7 November 2006 (UTC)


 * I even cleared my cache... just had a thought, though, we have a proxy/filter on the outbound connection. Bet that's the problem. I'll see if I can clear that and let you know. Horus Kol 09:03, 8 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Nope - its not the proxy... we bypassed that, and I've just tried again here at home... no links are visible anywhere - I'm using FireFox and IE for testing. Horus Kol 19:32, 8 November 2006 (UTC)


 * I get a message box from Wikipedia saying "Error: Could not locate text". Horus Kol 15:14, 10 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Got it - just tested the link, and it seems all fine now... thanks for that. Horus Kol 15:31, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Andy, I can't get this script to work in Firefox. I tried 2.0 in Ubuntu and 1.5.0.8 in Fedora Core 6. Neither Firefox would show the Peer-review link next to the log out. It works fine in IE on my windows box or Konqueror in FC6. However, Galeon 2.0.2 would not work either. I've tried clearing the cache, purging the server, rebooting and verifing javascript.

Peer Reviewer
Hi! Your Peer Reviewer bot/semi-bot is very useful; it's highlighted several issues in the article. One small point though: would it be possible to program the bot to ignore problems in text surrounded by "quotes". The review of Arctic Monkeys for example has highlighted "vague terms of size" and "American and British English mixing" as an issue, when all of these occur in quotes (" Some might enjoy that, but we wouldn't" for example). Also, the  tag appears to be being confused with the word center/centre, and is being flagged as American English, even though it does not occur in the readable text. But like I say, these are minor issues, and overall the system is very useful. Thanks! La  ï  ka 14:58, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Would you be so kind as to run your peer review tool on the article I'm working on Military Brat. Thanks 143.165.168.50 00:12, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

popup
Hello, you made this edit in Lupin's popup code. I don't know what is is, but since then, the messages shown are less clear when the tool is used to make a revert (in french at least). Could you consider revising it ? Thanks.

peerreviewer.js
Hey AndyZ, I see you've been making changes to your code. Just a comment regarding the changes that in Firefox 2.0, the changes cause their to be a horizontal scrollbar on all article pages (including talk and user pages, but not including watchlist and contribution pages). In IE, the horizontal scrollbar doesn't show up. Regards, -- Jeff3000 03:11, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Interlanguage sorting
Hi. Your bot suggested that the interlanguage links on The Simpsons article should be sorted. They are however sorted by the order used by every single bot, so I think your script should follow the same order. I believe the problem is "Bahasa Indonesia", which you probably want next to B, but the other bots wants it next to I. --Maitch 11:20, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Brabham
Hi Andy.

Would you mind running your peer review bot over the Brabham Racing Organisation article? You did so once before when it was in Peer Review - which I found very helpful - but it would be handy to have another check to see whether I've lapsed back since. Thanks. 4u1e 13:33, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Ta. For some reason I can't get the script to work (nothing seems to happen when I click on the 'send to PR' tab), hence my request. Thanks again. 4u1e 06:37, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

 * it says images need concise captions when they all have one, so what triggers this? If it's images with long captions, what does it consider long?
 * the article may have to use subpages, when the article already has several "main" links to subpages.
 * Thanks, for captions, all my pics in Scouting have one, but it still flags it as not...hmmm.Rlevse 22:47, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

A big favor
Hi Andy, White Deer Hole Creek is a current FAC. While it has received many support votes, Tony1 pointed out some areas that did not meet 1a, as well as some unnnecessary wikilinks. I believe I have now fixed these, but would appreciate a look. If you have the chance and inclination, could you please takea look at the article? I remember you found some stuff I missed in Larrys Creek's peer review and hope you could double check White Deer Hole Creek? Thanks in advance for ant help, Ruhrfisch 19:50, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

problem with your automated peer review bot
I recently added a request for a peer review on The Suite Life of Zack and Cody,today it posted a comment about there being an automated one, and i check it out. Aparently there's a glitch in your bot and it went to The Suite Life of Zack, a non-existant article and left a review for that. --Malevious Userpage •Talk Page• Contributions 21:51, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

William Burnet
I was looking at the William Burnet page that you started. He was the governor of multiple colonies. How common was this? Should he and Sam Houston the only governor of multiple states be linked as footnotes to each other or was it quite common to be a governor of multiple colonies. Thanks, by the way, for the peer review of Campbell's Soup Cans, I may get back to you for a second opinion when I have done a bit more. Reply at my talk page please. TonyTheTiger 01:04, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Idea
Hi Andy, I was wondering if a tool for finding duplicate wikilinks in an article might be a useful part of the peer review script or another (new) script. Just an idea. Thanks, Ruhrfisch 03:26, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks - I just know it was a pain to get rid of duplicates by hand on my recent FAC, and thought it might be useful. I like the recent changes to the PR script, by the way. I tried putting Bobblewik's unit and date script(s) in my monobook, but they did not work and they made your script and popups not work too. Oh well. I took them back out. Take care, Ruhrfisch 05:04, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks - I will try it again without the extra text. I have not yet used any of the other scripts so I am not sure how useful they will be, but if you think they would be useful I trust your judgment. It might be better to have them able to be turned on or off as desired if they are all in the PR script. Thanks, Ruhrfisch 04:18, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I had fixed Bobblewik's scripts and tried them yesterday. I took them out and tried the new PR just now and think your version is better - thanks. It still tried to put a nbsp in my long weblink between 26 and ft (see Larrys Creek or White Deer Hole Creek), but I fixed that by hand. Have a good vacation and Happy Holidays, Ruhrfisch 03:02, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

purple background
Thanks for your comments, Andy (and your fixes at my Eye movement in music reading, which is work in progress). I'll look into the background thing; would it be better to remove the background altogether? Tony 04:09, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks again for your advice. That means that I should remove the indentation; if that's the case, it's simple! Tony 15:22, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Re: James Clerk Maxwell FA Status

Automated Peer Reviewer...problems
Your automated peer reviewer complained that my Mini Moke article:


 * The lead of this article may be too long, or may contain too many paragraphs. Please follow guidelines at WP:LEAD; be aware that the lead should adequately summarize the article.

...but according to WP:LEAD my intro should be between one and four paragraphs long (mine is 3). Is it complaining that the individual paragraphs are too long? That seems unlikely since it is considerably shorter than many recent WP:FA's - look for example at the present front page FA: Kengir uprising - it's easily twice the length of mine - yet it was good enough to get all the way to the front page. I suspect your 'bot may be counting the 'infobox' at the head of the article - which would obviously be a bug in the bot.

Aside from that, it was pretty much on-the-nose with it's complaints. Thanks!

New Jersey State Constitution
Hello- Know you're busy, but could you take another look at New Jersey State Constitution, because I've read it so many times before that I'm probably reading over grammatical errors. Thanks. Oh, in your comment that it needs more references, I'm still searching, but I can't find any. Evan(Salad dressing is the milk of the infidel!) 01:39, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Ref fixer script
I have made the two tabs separate files so people can include them independently. The coding in the ref fixer is "not my best work" but if you want to use it, that's fine. I guess you could make one tab that called a bunch of other scripts in succession. It has some limitations noted in the talk page; it will screw up ellipses and abbreviations if followed by a ref tag and more punctuation. Gimmetrow
 * Update: I've rewritten the ref-fixing script quite a bit and it's now at User:Gimmetrow/fixRefs.js. One thing you should like - it functions from a toolbox link rather than a tab now. It may take a few weeks of general testing until I have confidence in the rewrite, but the old version was becoming difficult to read. Oh, the peer review script output has a space between the period and note [16]. Gimmetrow 18:38, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Peerreviewer Category problem
There are categories in Motorcycling, Category:500cc World Championship riders Category:350cc World Championship riders Category:250cc World Championship riders which you can see the script would change. I do not understand why the category does not conform to the same policies as text....but there it is. It changed an external web link to 60kmh.com too, for equally obvious reasons, but I did not understand the changing of sqfour.html to sqf tour.html in an external link. Can it be programmed to ignore references and categories, or should those particular categories be revised? Thinking out loud. It's New Year, happy new year. There I wuz typing.

Semi Automated Peer Review
Herr Ruhrfisch and I have been having a brief interchange. There is some problem in using the peerreviewer.js on various Scottish articles. I realise this is unlikely to be some prejudice on the part of the robot, but we are stumped. I tried a few articles at random: Morvern, Black Isle & Aušra worked, but Staffa and Mull did not. Ruhrfisch was also unable to get the latter two to work, although he did manage Flannan Isles which won't work for me (even after I copied his version into my mononbook). Most curious. There are a few other details on my talk page, but that is the substance. Any assistance gratefully received. Ben MacDui (Talk) 14:46, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your message, but there is still some kind of problem. I tried Staffa, Isle of Mull and Mingulay with no success a few minutes ago. Then Stirling & Trevor Chappell worked fine. It seems to be Scottish islands it doesn't like, but Mull doesn't have the template the other two have and Jura works. Ben MacDui (Talk) 11:26, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

I am afraid your mechanical friend is still displaying anti-Celtic tendencies. I wonder if it's personal as well as by and large it seems to affect articles I have made contributions too (although I have never touched the lovely Jura, honest). I run Mac OS X 10.4.8 and Safari just in case that may be affecting things. In the meantime, could you do a scan of Mingulay for me? There is a section heading available here. Tapadh leibh (as they used to say on Mingulay.) Ben MacDui (Talk) 08:58, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

PR script problem
I am using your PR script to improve two articles: Wood Badge and Girl Guide and Girl Scout. In both cases the script says they have an article (The, A, or An) at the beginning of a section, but they don't. What is causing this? Rlevse 12:28, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * New info--this is a browser-related problem. I know this by...when you said you fixed it, I checked and still got the error in FireFox. I then called up the page in IE7 and didn't get the error. I logged out and closed both browsers and tried again, same results. I completely rebooted the computer and tried both browsers, same results--IE7 says the sections headings are fine (which is true) and FireFox says they have A/AN/THE in them (not true). This has to be browser-related...another tweak for you-;) The GUIDE TO MESSAGES is outstanding, great work. Rlevse 17:44, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi - I noticed that an automated peer review was supposed to be done for the above article, yet it's somehow peer reviewed the Eastern Suburbs article, which is a disambiguation page.

Andy, could you please run your script on the article Hurdy gurdy? I tried your installation instructions, and what I end up with is a Peer review link that does nothing. It appears fine, but nothing happens when I click on it. I have cleared the cache, restarted my browser (Safari 2.0.4 under Mac OS X 10.4.8) but nothing seems to happen even though the link shows up fine and the destination link that shows up at the bottom of the page says 'run script "review1"' (so it's not just a cache problem).

MartinBotII goes crazy
Hi - thanks for bringing that to my attention. It seems that when it listed it the first time, the bot didn't put the marker template on the Peer Review sub-page (probably due to internet connection issues). The second time, it did add the template to the review sub-page, so it shouldn't make the same mistake again. I've been having some problems with the internet recently, affecting all of my bots, though hopefully things'll get better. Thanks, Mart inp23 10:56, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Gah! It's had the same problem before, caused by people "adjusting" the comment line. I've replaced it, and left another comment to deter people for changing it.  When the comment is removed, the bot gets confused and splits the header - I don't expect that it was anything to do with that double transclusion, though it could accout for a possible double listing.
