Top 25
Well, of course some help is welcome! Specially that once Andrew.g's data fell, there was also the extra work of going through the WMF tool a lot to compile 25 entries. (the lack of people to write the reports - some are MIA, others stopped answering - is another deal entirely) Anything to make this easier and recall the good days where the Report could be done early in the week. igordebraga ≠ 22:08, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
 * great! This report should now be updating with fresh daily counts (for the previous day) every day at around 17:00 UTC. I believe that soon I should be able to update the report so that it gives weekly counts, like Popular Pages did. I'll update you on my progress there; I might even be able to get it done this week. Cheers, J-Mo 23:06, 16 March 2020 (UTC)


 * If this supports a variable time range, I think it would be nice to have a report for the entire prior month in the WP:Signpost. It has been forced to use weekly lists in the past. See this discussion. Thanks. MB 22:20, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
 * the topviews tool provides monthly counts. Does that address your needs? Cheers, J-Mo 23:03, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

The Top 1000 tool hasn't updated since the 20th, can you see what's wrong? (and then there's the possibility of the views to add in "include redirects" as with |Hank_Aaron|President_of_the_United_States|Lana_Clarkson|Deaths_in_2021|List_of_presidents_of_the_United_States|Keystone_Pipeline|Family_of_Joe_Biden|Bernie_Sanders tab one tab of the Toolforge page, but that must be complicated) igordebraga ≠ 05:57, 25 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the ping, . I'll look into it this week. Hopefully an easy fix :) I'll update you when I know the status. Cheers, J-Mo 20:28, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm finally getting a chance to look into this. Some weird error with the pageview API. Will update when I have a fix or at least a better sense of the issue :) Cheers, J-Mo 19:07, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Fixed! The report is running again. Thanks for letting me know it went down; sorry it took so long to get it running again. Cheers, J-Mo 20:56, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

HostBot stopped updating the Top 1000
Like some time in January it would seem. - Scarpy (talk) 09:34, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
 * , yeah, I know. It's a strange error, and I haven't figured it out yet. Something to do with permissions on ToolForge, not my code (for once!). I'll post here and the "Top 25" thread above--which is the same issue--once I have a solution. Cheers, J-Mo 23:25, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Fixed! The report is running again. Thanks for letting me know it went down; don't hesitate to nudge me again if that happens again in the future. Cheers, J-Mo 20:57, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for maintaining this bot! It looks like the 1k page has stopped updating again. The last update was June 1, 2022. Willkoehrsen (talk) 00:39, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

Creation of New Articles
Hi J-Mo, hope you are doing well. I received a message from HostBot on behalf of the Teahouse hosts on my user-talk page. They advised me to communicate with a senior editor like you to fetch more guidance and understanding about wikipedia rules, polices and procedures. I am quite new here and I have observed one thing that people who create new pages wait so long for approval of their page. Why it happens? Why so much delay? And yes, one more question. Do you have authority to approve a page? RedMiNote (talk) 16:32, 2 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't edit very much these days, so I'm not the best person to turn to for advice about how to get an article published after other editors have flagged the article as having issues with neutral point of view and reliable sources. The draft review of your Draft:Farhan_Wilayat article provides some good advice on next steps you could take to improve this draft before re-submitting it for review. Why not start there? Unfortunately no one person can guarantee that an article will be published on, or remain on, Wikipedia. That's a critical part of what helps keep Wikipedia reliable and trustworthy! However, I know very well that it can be very difficult to figure out the rules--both written and unwritten. My advice to you is to take a break from the article for a while and find some other articles where you can make contributions (ideally, small contributions like adding reliable sources, to articles on a different topic than your current focus). Then when you feel like you have a better handle on the rules around neutral point of view and reliable sources, make another attempt to improve the Farhan Wilayat article. I hope that helps!

Hi! I had received a message on my talk page from your bot, I didn't quite understand what it meant, could you please throw some light on this? GuyForceOne (talk) 09:20, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User talk:JacobCardel


A tag has been placed on User talk:JacobCardel requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://you-iq-test.com/ru/intelligence-part-iv/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. --TheImaCow (talk) 17:49, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

A niggle about Hostbot
One thing that’s annoyed me with Hostbot is when it posts a Teahouse welcome to a new user who clearly has malicious intent. It can make the user talk seem a bit silly, and it can be disheartening to those who patrol recent pages to reduce vandalism. Granted, Hostbot does a host of good, and as an RCP, my view of the results is myopic and magnified. I looked up the criteria the bot uses, and it does take into account warnings that the user might have received. You wouldn’t want to lower the threshold there. Some new users edit in good faith, yet attract nasty warnings, so a Teahouse welcome is just what’s needed, reaching out where their hand has been bitten.

“Bring me solutions, not problems!” I wish I could. It’s a fine line. And it’s been quite a while since I’ve coded. I understand that now, there are neural networks with massive numbers of layers that can automatically arrive at a decision that would closely match that of a human. Just an idea for if you’ve got a bit of spare time to devote to this vexing problem. Cheers. signed, Willondon (talk) 19:38, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

P.S. What would you think of an editor taking it upon themselves to remove the welcome message? signed, Willondon (talk) 19:42, 12 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi ! Thanks for the ping. First: yes, you should definitely feel free to remove the Teahouse invite from users' talkpages at your discretion. Second: yeah, you've done a good job articulating the various tradeoffs that I try to navigate with HostBot. I'm always looking for new options for identifying bad-faith users to skip--without throwing out too many of the good-faith newbie babies with the bathwater, as it were. ML could definitely help. I don't have that expertise, but the idea of using the ORES API to build "risk scores" for invite candidates has been on my radar for years; just haven't gotten around to implementing it yet ;) Perhaps this Christmas vacation! Anyway, thanks again and feel free to continue providing feedback and topics for discussion--it's always useful and relevant! Cheers, J-Mo 18:54, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Organicism, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.

 * rather than slapping me with a template intended for new editors, perhaps it would be more productive (and perhaps even more collegial) for you to share with me why you believe the content I deleted is appropriate for the article in which it is placed? And then I reply, and we work out a solution. That's how I've found it works best, in my 14 years on this project. What do you think? J-Mo 19:52, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Nobody slapped you in the first place, so there's no point to cry wolf when there is none. Being a regular editor doesn't mean that you are exonerated from being warned for making mistakes, whether intentionally or inadvertently. I already explained the reason for reverting your edit, so there's not much to add. GenoV84 (talk) 21:02, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Those 'you've been reverted' templates are pretty unfriendly! Only appropriate for people who were probably vandalizing and who you don't expect to respond.  – SJ +  21:00, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

Cataloging anti-vax RS discussions
Hello :) Thanks for the list of VSN orgs. Do you have time for a chat about ways to catalog past RS discussions about suspect vaccine [dis]info?  I'm working on a project that could help + produce as one output a perennial-sources overview.  – SJ +  21:00, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi sure, happy to chat. For context, I originally passed along the VSN org list at the beginning of the pandemic, because I was alerted to it when talking to a researcher who went on to give a WMF Research Showcase. I left WMF shortly after that, and I don't know (or at least, don't recall well) where the list came from or how it was assembled. That said, what were you thinking? Feel free to reach out over email (faster reply, and you should have my email from my recent-ish post to Wikimedia-l), or here. Cheers, J-Mo 19:23, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I'll write :) I'm mainly thinking of a perennial sources table for vaccine sources and articles.  I notice that that 2019 summary from VSN wasn't updated in place, and don't see a continuous-update version from them (though they seem to  have a refdesk service)
 * A lot of the antivax arguments are the same over the decades (aids, autism, zika, covid, mmr, &c), but we don't seem to have a single place for perennial arguments / perennial sources around this. I've been finding this is a challenge even for professional journal editors, and it's often single high-visibility articles from otherwise plausible sources. (I think this is true for statistical cognitive biases and conspiracy theories in general: important to track for shared understanding, but harder than just source-site-reliability eval.)  – SJ +  21:27, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

HostBot
Hello, Jtmorgan,

I was noticing that I no longer see Teahouse invitations on the talk pages of new editors, at least not for the past few years. Then I came across one from 2021 and saw that your bot used to post them but is no longer active. Could you start it up again? These welcome messages are very useful and effective for editors just joining the project. If not, can you recommend that another bot operator set up a bot to post these notices? Thank you for considering this request. Liz Read! Talk! 17:49, 26 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi @Liz! Sorry for the delayed reply--I'm not around much anymore. I had to stop maintaining HostBot when life got in the way. I have a friend who has said he might be interested in getting the bot up and running again. He has some time free in July and is a much better programmer than me anyway. I'll post here if it looks like he might be willing to take on the care and feeding of HostBot. Hope all is well in your world! Cheers, J-Mo 16:47, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
