Is is
You probably shouldn't go around fixing all instances of "is is" to "is", without reading the sentence carefully. For example, in [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=In_a_Free_State&diff=596169539&oldid=592654929 this edit] you changed the sentence from the grammatically correct "What that theme is is not too clearly spelled out" to the ungrammatical "What that theme is not too clearly spelled out". Granted that it's not the most felicitious way of writing it, but better bad style than bad syntax. I haven't looked at your other edits involving "is is"; just pointing out that blindly replacing the strings may be the wrong thing to do. Shreevatsa (talk) 05:43, 20 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Actually, I took a look at your "is is" edits.

That's a lot of errors in a space of 10 edits. Please stop making such substitutions blindly. Shreevatsa (talk) 06:08, 20 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi, thanks for taking the time to clean up after me, I realise that should never be necessary. I must have been particularly tired when making those edits, is all I can say, I do try to read the context of the correction before committing them. In my defence, I made a lot more than those 10 edits in that session which improves my 'error-ratio'. However, I apologise again and will take more care infuture especially when correcting 'is is'.

Hi, I am sorry about the Starbucks edit. I was telling my friend everything on Wikipedia is verified and watched. He didn't believe me, so I showed him. I did make a real edit to one king down's page and changed the name Mike Scoville to Michael Scoville because he told me to and all of the album credits are in the name of Michael. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Davbowling (talk • contribs) 15:00, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi Davbowling, thanks for getting in touch, unfortunately not everything is watched and not all vandalism is caught but those of us who are that way inclined try our best! Your edits on one king down look fine to me. A good way to get started on Wikipedia is to edit (or create) articles that interest you! There are lots of policy but the best way to learn is to be bold it's mostly common sense and if you do something wrong, hopefully someone else will fix it and let you know so you can do better next time.

Stub sorting
Hello . Thank you for tagging as a stub. I noticed that you used the stub template. In the future, it would be greatly appreciated if you could sort the article to a subcategory by using one of these templates instead. For example, you can use US-novelist-1960s-stub for an American novelist born in the 1960s. Of course, if you can't find a proper category, you can always use the stub tag and someone else will sort it for you, or you can propose a new stub template or category here. Thanks! --I dream of horses If you reply here, please leave me a message on my talk page. @ 03:01, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Related to the above: I see that you are replacing specific stub categories with the generic or , which is rarely helpful. Most of these stub categories contain at least one stub template, and where possible please use one of those instead of / - . -- Red rose64 (talk) 19:11, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
 * It might be a good idea just to leave the incorrectly-directly-added stub category, while also adding stub (if the bot can't find the template automatically from the category) – even, perhaps, with a comment to the stub-sorter on the lines of "please remove previously-added stub category when you have stub-sorted this". And also to keep track of the editors who've been adding these stub categories, so as to leave them a note telling them that they're going wrong, as at User talk:Robert4565. Pam  D  19:49, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi, If you haven't yet, please see my current BOT request. The idea behind the bot was that by adding / and removing the category, it gets rid of the erroneous category and brings it into the eyes of many more editors through Category:Stubs or Category:People stubs than might ever have seen it in Database reports/Stubs included directly in stub categories.
 * That is a good idea, I will edit the bot to add / along with a comment asking the editor to remove the direct categories. I think this solves both problems of bringing them to more editors attention and also not getting rid of potentially useful information. Jamesmcmahon0 (talk) 10:34, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

Hello. You reverted my edit on Jason Cruz due to it not appearing constructive, but you've made a mistake. I relinked his official website in the external links section because the link that appears on the Wikipedia page doesn't like to it anymore, instead linking to a false webpage.

Joseph Minala nickname

At the time, the addition of the nickname Benjamin Button to a footballer by an anonymous user seemed suspicious. Since googling it I see there are quite a few mentions of it.

Hello and thank you
thank you for reviewing my article and the improvement you did because it made it better .. and for the two points you asked for references i found a link in arabic can cover both information ..but i have a question .. the same link talks about his father and mother job and mention his children.

http://www.aymanwahdan.at/seite/dialog/Tarafa_Baghajati.htm

to make it easier for you the section :

about his marriage and children : 1990 تزوج من ألمانية .. و أنعم الله عليهما بـ عدنان (1991) سلمى (1992) & سمية (1998) & إبراهيم (2002

it means in 1990 he married from a german wife (they mean Carla Amina Baghajati ) and he has four children Adnan 1991 Salma 1992 Somya 1998 Ibrahim 2002

talked about his mother being an economic journalist : والدتي السيدة أمل حمصي .. درست الأدب إنجليزي .. & رئست تحرير مجلة الاقتصاد ..

talking about his father

عدنان بغجاتى :

ولد في دمشق عام 1934 .. حصل على ليسانس جامعة دمشق .. قسم اللغة العربية عام 1957 & دبلوم التربية عام 1958.. تدرج فى مناصب وزارة التربية و التعليم من مدرس إلى وزير & شغل منصب وزير دولة لشؤون مجلس الوزراء & مستشاراً ثقافياً له .. رئس تحرير : جريدة الثورة & جريدة البعث & الموقف الأدبي & الآداب الأجنبية & الأسبوع الأدبي .. كما ترأس إتحاد الكتاب العرب السوريين كما كان عضواً في مجلس الشعب السوري .. وافته المنية فى 9 من أكتوبر 1992.

so as u say it even says more than needed ..but do i duplicate the link twice for both..? or there is a way to put the same without writing it again ?

was thinking to describe it as following sorry if i made it too long to explain and thank you again for your help ! Wikipedian13579 (talk) 03:30, 15 May 2014 (UTC)


 * - Non English references are fine to use, as long as you have verified the information.
 * To use a reference more than once is very common. You need to give the reference a name, see WP:NAMEDREFS. It's good practice to do this with most/all references so that you or another editor can easily use them again in the same article. Jamesmcmahon0 (talk) 09:53, 15 May 2014 (UTC)


 * ok thank you.. i tried it but for some reason i couldn't do it so i put the link twice references number 2 and 22 Wikipedian13579 (talk) 15:49, 15 May 2014 (UTC)


 * I fixed it [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tarafa_Baghajati&diff=608702698&oldid=608702084 here]. It looks like you had an extra / in the first tag; instead of then later Jamesmcmahon0 (talk) 15:58, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

Charles Hamilton (rapper)
The Charles Hamilton Discography does not need to be put into another article, many fans have commented on the value of information they've gotten from it being on his main page. Splitting it off from the main page would make each separate entity far too barren. But if everyone would please leave the page alone and let me do all the changes to it and complete it and then discuss or debate conflicts that'd be great. I'm more than over qualified and informed to be working on the page. But it's a day to day process because my life can not obviously focus on Wikipedia all day everyday. We'll get nowhere if my work keeps GETTING DELETED. Thank you, starCHaser67- Derek — Preceding unsigned comment added by SabresNT11x9x67 (talk • contribs) 19:11, 16 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Discography Split (btw, this isn't Twitter bro)


 * So don't know how to answer this with any curses, but miracles happen so here it goes.


 * I don't CARE anymore. Spit the discog off of the main Charles Hamilton article, I told you why it's stupid. But if you wanna be stupid then I'm expanding his main article more so in the future anyways. It's not cluttered, it's accurate and complete? But whatever, never seen a long Wikipedia article before or something.


 * I know this is all public domain, but if that's the case WHO IN THE HELL put you idiots in charge of making these decisions is beyond me. :Ever since the page existed IT'S BEEN WRONG AND INNACURATE. Someone actually comes to fix it and make it right for all of the internet and I get crucified for it? Do you even know who he is and yet you're in charge of his page? I told you why I am the authoritative figure on all this information and how it's basically not available on the surface Web at all and that's why. You have to be a fan to know and appreciate any of what I'm fixing and you'd know it's right too, I promise you that buddy.


 * So you update and let me know whenever you split the articles in two and link them to each other so I can get back to work, thanks. Otherwise just going to put my own actual CORRECT information on the site I'm making for the man anyways. You want articles wrong, lacking information, inaccurate and even wrongly titled in this case too?!? Then fine be my guest and protect your golden covered mess. Didn't realize coming and learning to edit on here would mean I'd get hounded by the fake Wiki police. Done with this garbage. One.

"Cleanup"
You should not edit other people's contributions to your talk page unless they are seriously disruptive. See WP:TPO: "The basic rule—with some specific exceptions outlined below—is that you should not edit or delete the comments of other editors without their permission."

"Cleaning up" other people's signatures is not appreciated: if you feel that they breach the guidelines in WP:SIG then it would be more useful to explain to the editors involved what you see as a problem. Pam D  11:22, 17 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Hmm, technically you were in the right, though it seems completely unnecessary and undesirable. See Wikipedia talk:Smurrayinchester's signature tutorial. Pam  D  11:46, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Also raised it at Wikipedia_talk:Signatures: not criticising you but pointing out inconsistency in the system. (Though I still think it unnecessary and somewhat offensive to "clean up" other people's signatures in this way when a deprecated tag is doing no harm to anyone.) Pam  D  12:14, 17 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Hey, sorry to cause trouble, glad it will maybe achieve something though! I have a script called Auto-format that puts an icon in the edit bar which 'cleans up' a page. I (maybe wrongly) click this out of habit when editing a page, I noticed it changed your signature but when I checked the preview it appeared the same so I left the change in place. The main reason I was 'cleaning up' my talk page was to put someone's comment into a section! Jamesmcmahon0 (talk) 15:24, 17 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Probably not a good idea to run the script on any talk pages (article, user, or your own), because of the rules about editing other people's comments (and the fact that typos etc are permissible on these behind-the-scenes pages as long as the content can be understood): perhaps just add the section heading by hand another time.

Suggested improvement
Hello James. On the MoohanBOT, can you modify it so it will include the " |listas= " parameter in the WikiProject Biography template ? Doing so would save a little manual typing when it comes time for humans to follow up on the template. Thanks. – S. Rich (talk) 17:23, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi thanks for letting me know, I checked a load of my bot's edits and it does as |listas= in some circumstances. My bot runs using AWB and the Kingbotk Plugin in the plugin spec it says;

listas= is calculated and added if no DEFAULTSORT key is present (manual mode only; there are too many variations in human naming for this to be done by bots) End result is I'm not sure why it adds it in some situation and not others... I'm not going to change anything however as at the moment nothing is being broken! Jamesmcmahon0 (talk) 09:31, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

Well thanks for checking and responding. The "listas=" empty backlog count is now at ≈60,000. So perhaps not getting the parameter inserted is a good thing in terms of keeping the backlog down. Happy editing. – S. Rich (talk) 17:40, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

Copyright checks when performing AfC reviews
Hello. This message is part of a mass mailing to people who appear active in reviewing articles for creation submissions. First of all, thank you for taking part in this important work! I'm sorry this message is a form letter – it really was the only way I could think of to covey the issue economically. Of course, this also means that I have not looked to see whether the matter is applicable to you in particular. The issue is in rather large numbers of copyright violations ("copyvios") making their way through AfC reviews without being detected (even when easy to check, and even when hallmarks of copyvios in the text that should have invited a check, were glaring). A second issue is the correct method of dealing with them when discovered. If you don't do so already, I'd like to ask for your to help with this problem by taking on the practice of performing a copyvio check as the first step in any AfC review. The most basic method is to simply copy a unique but small portion of text from the draft body and run it through a search engine in quotation marks. Trying this from two different paragraphs is recommended. (If you have any question about whether the text was copied from the draft, rather than the other way around (a "backwards copyvio"), the Wayback Machine is very useful for sussing that out.) If you do find a copyright violation, please do not decline the draft on that basis. Copyright violations need to be dealt with immediately as they may harm those whose content is being used and expose Wikipedia to potential legal liability. If the draft is substantially a copyvio, and there's no non-infringing version to revert to, please mark the page for speedy deletion right away using. If there is an assertion of permission, please replace the draft article's content with. Some of the more obvious indicia of a copyvio are use of the first person ("we/our/us..."), phrases like "this site", or apparent artifacts of content written for somewhere else ("top", "go to top", "next page", "click here", use of smartquotes, etc.); inappropriate tone of voice, such as an overly informal tone or a very slanted marketing voice with weasel words; including intellectual property symbols (™,®); and blocks of text being added all at once in a finished form with no misspellings or other errors. I hope this message finds you well and thanks again you for your efforts in this area. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 02:20, 18 November 2014 (UTC).

On talk pages such as Dionne Rakeem and E-Trax, there is no need to add both "class=stub" and "auto-yes" to the template. It is wasteful.-- Laun  chba  ller  21:45, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi, both of those pages were tagged by my bot, it tags them because it they have biography type stub tags on the article, however the bot does not actually 'look' at the article so it is best practice to add the |auto=yes .Jamesmcmahon0 (talk) 09:27, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi James. Sorry if I'm mixing up issues here, but you tagged with a non-free, not used, deletion tag. It is non-free, but it is used on Dominion of Melchizedek (which needs a lot of work, but that's a different matter). As it's a logo, aren't we allowed to use it per WP:FU? Cheers, Bromley86 (talk) 13:45, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
 * . Hi, you're totally right. I used a few bits of automation to find pages that should be tagged and obviously got at least one wrong. I've deleted the tag and I'll double check my other edits for similar mistakes! Jamesmcmahon0 (talk) 14:33, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for fixing it! Bromley86 (talk) 15:42, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi! When tagging files as orphaned, remember to follow the correct process:
 * Chech that the file is unfree. File:Senator Joseph George Megler of Washington State, USA, 1901.jpg is marked as being in the public domain.
 * Notify the uploader using the notification template mentioned in di-orphaned fair use.
 * Check that the file is unused. Due to a bug in Mediawiki, the "File Usage" section and the "imagelinks" database table can't always be trusted to provide the correct information (see Village pump (technical)/Archive 133). --Stefan2 (talk) 15:50, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

Why is your bot adding "underlinked" to nine word articles?
If there are only nine words in an article, and three are already linked, why is your script saying to tag the article as "underlinked?" When I go to your bot's user page it has links to Task numbers, can you link to this task or tell me which one it is? I think your bot and another one I just saw were not thought out.

 * . Hi, thanks for letting me know, my Bot was most likely performing Task 2 or Task 3, without the diff I wouldn't know for sure. However tagging the page as underlinked would have been added as part of general fixes, this means that the problem lies with Auto Wiki Browser not specifically my BOT. If you let me know the pages and/or the diffs you or I could add a feature request to change the behaviour. Jamesmcmahon0 (talk) 12:47, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 10
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Kayak, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Great Falls. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

About your bot
Your bot MoohanBOT [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3ABasque_Uruguayan&diff=635081011&oldid=578736135 added] a WikiProject Biography to the article Basque Uruguayan, presumably because of a category that article is in. According to WP:BIOG only articles about individuals are within the scope of the WikiProject. I'm not sure if the article is miss categorised or if the problem is with your bot, but I'd have a look at it if I were you. Thanks, Liam987  (talk)  00:02, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
 * The problem is that articles of this type, about an ancestry in a country, are normally in the category for people of that ethnicity. For example, Polish American is in Category:American people of Polish descent. I'm guessing your bot treats these articles as being biographies because they are in Category:People stubs. Liam987  (talk)  00:08, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
 * - Your above assessment is correct, that because it appears in Category:People stubs. I will look at using some other methods to weed out non-biog pages before allowing the bot to begin editing in the future. Jamesmcmahon0 (talk) 10:30, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Incorrect edit summaries
Please explain [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AViktor_Aristov_%28director%29&diff=654520835&oldid=420817065 this] and a whole bunch of others. Thanks.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 18:09, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Apologies, I had not correctly set-up the bot so it was editing on pages that it should have skipped. This has resulted in a number of edits that, whilst causing no harm, made no visible difference to the page. These edits do (or did) not need to be reverted as they were only doing things like replacing a redirected template with its actual, or removing necessary parameters etc. I've made sure the settings are correct and my bot should not longer be making edits of this kind and only editing when it is actually adding something of value (which will mostly be the WikiProject Biography template).
