Javascript --> C# for AWB
User:Reedy/AWB/WikiProject_User_scripts_Formatter

I think thats all done now, compiles and runs fine as a C# Custom Module in AWB.

Just a side note, some of the code in that, looks to have been taken from AWB in the first place (ie AWB actually already does this)

One example, i noticed for definate, was the "linksimplifyer" function, so i have removed this.

— Ree dy  19:44, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, the more i look at it, the more of it that looks to be copied from the AWB general fix code... — Ree dy  19:46, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 * User:Reedy/AWB/LinkFixr - That one was seemingly a long winded way to just do some other replacements. That seems to go askew with AWB's general fixes enabled, just FYI. I'll do the other one as it is a quick one. — Ree dy  20:07, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 * User:Reedy/AWB/general - The last one done. — Ree dy  20:10, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

It's done, and appears to work across all browsers. If it goes wrong again, feel free to let me know, but I am on vacation, so you're probably better off contacting someone with a more reliable schedule.

All-star lists
Sorry to be persistent, but I really don't see any reason why those lists need to be separated. Notability is of course and important factor in determining whether an article or list should exist, but not the only one. In this case, I would argue that the issue here isn't notability by redundancy. This list falls completely within the scope of another full-fledged article that covers the lists' scope and more. If this were a Venn Diagram, the lists would be completely within the article's circles. I'm not saying I'm necessarily against the idea of the lists existing, but as they stand they offer nothing new (they in fact off less), and therefore have no reason for existing, much less to be promoted to Featured List class.

Scripts
Ok...

Script 1: Since there are only one of each team, it would be faster to just fill in the names on the page instead of using a script (since that's what I would do on the script page). Unless, of course, there are other page(s) where you would need that, then the script would help.

Script 2: Still working

Script 3: ✅ - User:jj137/MFC-NBA.js

Hold on
FSC When Johnny came marching home: since when did candidates stay there for just one week? Bring it back, please. You didn't promote it properly, anyway (red link). Candidates normally stay there for three to four (or more) weeks, since the system is fairly slow and reviewers thin on the ground. Tony  (talk)  01:14, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * No way. It says "and are soon to be closed". Just what "soon" means is not for you alone to govern. Soon is not one or two days. Why is there a red link in my watchlist if you closed it properly? The recording is disgustingly bad musically; the technical quality is woeful. Even though consideration is given because it's a historical performance, in my view, it doesn't pass. There was 'ONE' support (not counting the co-nominators, of course). Either revert this promotion and do it properly, or I'll take it straight to the removal list. Tony   (talk)  01:29, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * You misspelt "Wikipedia". It's an illegal promotion, since the rule says there must be FOUR support votes, including that of the nominator. There were THREE votes. The rule says nothing about counting a conominator's vote, either. I ask you again to revert this illegal promotion. Tony   (talk)  01:33, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * No, there were THREE votes, not four. It was illegal. And it spent all of ONE DAY in the "Decision-time" area. Not enough by anyone's standards. An illegally promoted nomination has to be brought back. Please do it now, or I will. Tony   (talk)  01:40, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * You're ignoring the illegality: there were THREE votes. If you want to get legalistic about the timeframe, I'll get legalistic about the votes. Please revert it NOW. Tony   (talk)  01:47, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Now, I hope you'll support my proposal to update the instructions. This is particularly important in view of the fact that there's no Director. Tony   (talk)  01:50, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Is FSC lacking reviewers? I'd do it, but I don't really know how to deal with Criterion 2. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 03:12, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi, a heads up would have been nice. I went from here to here to here to here. Are you aware Tony altered the nomination itself when he posted his opposition? I'll gladly play fairly by whatever rules exist, but this really takes the wind out of a lady's sails. I created the steeplechase award in part to encourage more featured sounds and I'd started conominating to bring more people into the area. Durova Charge! 04:49, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

X-Men episodes FLRC
Hi, Oreo. I was just wondering whether you notified the original nominator of the list that it was being put to FLRC, as well as any relevant Wikiprojects and any recent major contributors? FLRCs often don't get a lot of attention so this is one way to ensure that as many (possibly) interested parties are made aware. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 09:23, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Your monobook needs to be updated to avoid an error
Hi,

Your monobook needs to be updated to avoid an error. The convert template code has changed and it will no longer accept 'sq' or 'cu' with metric units. Thus '|sqkm|' will have to be changed to '|km2|'. All existing pages have been updated. Any new use of the template with '|sqkm|' will produce an error on the page. The code for non-metric units is unchanged and can be either '|sqft|' or '|ft2|' format.

For example: should be changed to
 * $2 sqft
 * $2 sqft

If you want more advice, please ask at Template talk:Convert. Or ask me, I would be glad to help you update your monobook code. Regards Lightmouse (talk) 09:35, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Just a heads up
I thought you might like to know that the Awards Center page has been deleted, along with its newsletter. :(

So, where do we go from here?

To new and even more interesting projects, of course!

As announced in the newsletter, I've been preparing to co-coordinate a large collaboration/competition called Around the World. It was going to be run at the Awards Center, but since that no longer exists, the collaboration will be hosted somewhere else.

Around the World will begin July 15th as planned - it's location will be announced soon.

It'll be a blast. In the competition, participants will be helping to develop over 200 pages (drafts, which will be moved to article space once they are ready), using advanced tools to edit every single one of them!

This is going to be interesting.

And the event shall have awards which are being created specifically for it as we speak!

If you would like me to keep you informed of this and other interesting collaborations I'll be working on and/or organizing in the future, please drop me a note on my talk page, and I'll be happy to keep you in the know.

I look forward to your reply.

Sincerely,

 Th e Tr ans hu man ist   21:47, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

PR experiment
Dear Milk's Favorite Cookie, I'm writing in hopes of enlisting your aid in a four-month experiment at Peer Review (PR). The success of the experiment will depend on finding at least 10 editors willing to review at least one article a week through the end of October 2008. The experiment will employ a streamlined review process designed to insure that every nominator who seeks a review gets one and that reviewers do not waste time doing long reviews for nominators who do not respond to an initial short review.

The way it works is this: (1) Choose any article at Peer Review that lacks a review. Peer reviews by date, especially the backlog list, is still a good place to find such articles. (2) Provide a short partial review based on your initial observations and wait to see if the nominator responds. Examples of short reviews can be found at Peer review/Foreign relations of India/archive1 and Peer review/Ed Stelmach/archive1. (3) If the nominator does not respond, the review is done. (4) If the nominator responds, continue the review as you see fit.

The experiment will require no noticeable administration. However, if you plan to participate, it would be helpful if you posted a brief note to Wikipedia talk:Peer review to that effect. At the end of October, we can see how the experiment turned out and whether this process or some modification of it could sustain Peer Review permanently with minimal backlogs. If you can help, that would be great. If not, that's perfectly OK. We are all tremendously busy with a lot of different projects.

I have chosen to write to you in part because you've done peer reviews from the backlog during the past four months. Please forgive the form-letter nature of this note, which is more efficient than a personal note. With respect and thanks for your hard work on many projects, Finetooth (talk) 05:49, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Adpotion Assignment
Q1. "an unhelpful or unconstructive edit" e.g. page blanking, deliberate misinformation, out-of-context expletives, "x is gay", "y is cool!!1!!" etc.

Q2. Obvious indicators include: (blanked the page) as a summary, (-45,050) for example, as a byte-difference, or an abusive edit summary. Hints to be more vigilant would be IP edits, and red-linked user-names.

Q3. I use Twinkle at present. See below.

Q4. uw-delete

Q5. uw-vandalism

Q6. Click the "watch" tab at the top of the page you wish to add to your watchlist.

Q7. You can be blocked. Tools amplify your contributions to Wikipedia. Amplifying the good you can do, the incompetence you can show, and the bad you can cause.

Thanks. Sunderland06 (talk) 23:34, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

What do you think
I added my reference, so I'm good regarding List of Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim managers. User:Nishkid64 actually did a copyedit of it, also. I'm ready for a nomination; how about you?--<font color="navy" face="Times New Roman">LAA <font color="#ff0000" face="Times New Roman">Fan 01:04, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Tagging of uncategorised pages
Hi. Re 1921 in baseball and 1926 in baseball, it would seem that your bot tagged these pages as uncategorised even though they are. I admit that they're not directly categorised - i.e. in the article text itself, presumably it's something to do with the template, but it's something you may want to investigate. Cheers. :-) CultureDrone (talk) 14:47, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * By the way, snazzy page layout! :-) CultureDrone (talk) 14:52, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

WP:HAU, Status, and you!
As you may know, the StatusBot responsible for maintaining the status of the Highly Active Users was taken offline. We now have a replacement in the Qui status system. This semi-automatic system will allow you to easily update your status page found at Special:Mypage/Status which the HAU page code is now designed to read from. If you are already using Qui (or a compatible system) - great! - no action is needed (other than remembering to update your status as necessary). If not, consider installing Qui. You can also manually update this status by changing the page text to online, offline, or busy. While it is not mandatory, the nature of HAU is that people are often seeking a quick answer from someone who is online and keeping our statuses up-to-date will assist with this. Note if you were previously using your /Status page as something other than a one-word status indicator, your HAU entry may have been set to "status=n" to correct display issues. Please clear this parameter if you change things to be "HAU compatible". Further questions can be raised at WT:HAU. This message was delivered by xenobot  22:56, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

IRC?
Hey, I was just wondering if, when you get time (and of course if you want), if you'd like to come on IRC. The primary channel is #Wikipedia-en, so you can find me in there. Best, Qst (talk) 16:05, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Hmm.
I tried to add you on Qui but it just doesn't work. Do you think it is the apostrophe in your username? <font color="#008040">jj137 <font color="#008040">(  talk <font color="#008040">)  20:07, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

List of New York Rangers head coaches
Hey. I was wondering if you could fill in the third coach for this list. It is the one where two coaches teamed-up to coach the team, as I'm not too sure about how to get the info for this, but know how to for the others. Best, Qst (talk) 16:26, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

List of Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim managers
Could you reply to The Rambling Man's comments on the featured list page? I answered almost everything else from other users, with the exception of one thing. I need to work on my other current candidate. Thanks.--<font color="navy" face="Times New Roman">LAA <font color="#ff0000" face="Times New Roman">Fan 21:14, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

As your adoptee, I'd like to announce the first vandalism to my userpage. Sniff! (wipes eyes). It is like a barnstar bestowed by a vandal. :-) Fribbler (talk) 23:06, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
