SearchSuite
I noticed you installed this script.

I thought you might like a pointer...

Help:Searching has been overhauled and updated. The special characters and parameters sections are very useful, and work especially well with SearchSuite's sort and turn off details features.

I'm interested in what you think about SearchSuite. Please post your experiences, suggestions, and questions on its talk page. Thank you. &mdash; The Transhumanist     03:59, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

Portals draft
Thanks for your Signpost submission. I will recommend that it is run in the upcoming issue. We are having a discussion about who's doing what in terms of editorial control this time around. Anyway there's one content-related item I thought was interesting. Your piece says that some people want to move portals to Wikipedia space, presumably under control of the project, and WP:NOTSOCIALMEDIA is a motivator for the entire discussion. I've also heard in other discussions that projects themselves should be done away with under the NOTSOCIALMEDIA rubric. Not sure how this all would play out, but it might be worth mentioning. ☆ Bri (talk) 17:12, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

Invitation to WikiProject Portals
The Portals WikiProject has been rebooted.

You are invited to join, and participate in the effort to revitalize and improve the Portal system and all the portals in it.

There are sections on the WikiProject page dedicated to tasks (including WikiGnome tasks too), and areas on the talk page for discussing the improvement and automation of the various features of portals.

Many complaints have been lodged in the RfC to delete all portals, pointing out their various problems. They say that many portals are not maintained, or have fallen out of date, are useless, etc. Many of the !votes indicate that the editors who posted them simply don't believe in the potential of portals anymore.

It's time to change all that. Let's give them reasons to believe in portals, by revitalizing them.

The best response to a deletion nomination is to fix the page that was nominated. The further underway the effort is to improve portals by the time the RfC has run its course, the more of the reasons against portals will no longer apply. RfCs typically run 30 days. There are 19 days left in this one. Let's see how many portals we can update and improve before the RfC is closed, and beyond.

A healthy WikiProject dedicated to supporting and maintaining portals may be the strongest argument of all not to delete.

We may even surprise ourselves and exceed all expectations. Who knows what we will be able to accomplish in what may become the biggest Wikicollaboration in years.

Let's do this.

See ya at the WikiProject!

RfA talk
Re: This edit. Those comments don't belong there, they are part of the RfA. They were innapropriately removed from the RfA and added to the talk page. They have since been re-added to the RfA where they belong, so your edit only serves to create needless duplication. Please self-revert and restore that that talk page section to its proper status. Thank you. - the WOLF  child  17:33, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you for alerting me to this problem. At the time I made the edit, the comments were not present in the RfA. —  python coder    (talk &#124; contribs) 18:01, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, I posted a question (whether you agreed with it or not), you replied and I responded with a follow up comment and thanked you for your reply. Those 3 posts are a legitimate part of the RfA and should remain. The posts beginning with JBL's off-topic reply were moved to the talk page where they belonged. That should've been the end of it, but JBL them moved our posts there as well, (though they should've remained in the RfA). As I was restoring them to the RfA, it was closed. Now some editors, having no clue what is going on, keep flip-flopping content back and forth with needless reverts, causing the page to become full protected for a week by.
 * this is the correct version of the RfA, (which needs to be restored) and
 * this is the correct version of the RfA talk page, (which is fine now as it is).
 * It's unfortunate all this nonsense occurred. I tried to keep it from derailing your entry to the RfA by moving the off-topic posts to the talk in the first place. Hopefully SQL (who I've pinged) will read this and restore the RfA, or it will be corrected once the protection expires. Hopefully this will put an end to the disruption. - the WOLF  child  18:55, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I've put the first 3 replies back to the talk page as a temporary measure until protection is removed, and then we'll see what happens from there. Better on the talk page than hidden in the history, at least for now — but on the main RfA page is better than both. —  python coder    (talk &#124; contribs) 23:28, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that. Apparently once the RfA is closed, they posts can't be re-added, but I have suggested adding them to the bottom of the RfA page, below the closed section, once the protection expires. It's been done before, doesn't violate any rules and should serve as a descent compromise. We'll see how it goes. Hopefully that will be the end it. Thanks again and take care. - the WOLF  child  05:31, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

Votesymbol for "no consensus"
Hi, thanks for making an updated version of the votesymbols script. I had been maintaining/expanding Ais' version for a couple of years, glad to see someone else give the script some care. However can you fix the close/no consensus keyword detection? Because for example right now it adds the votesymbol to every AfD relist because the notice includes a bolded "consensus". Example: Articles for deletion/GetAmped2. However I seem to recall that two-word couldn't be used in Ais' version so not sure if "no consensus" would even work.... Ben · Salvidrim!   &#9993;  22:53, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for bringing this issue to my attention. Unfortunately, the script as written can’t really solve either of these problems. Admittedly my JavaScript isn’t that good. —  python coder    (talk &#124; contribs) 23:20, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I think in the meantime removing "consensus" as a keyword for the close votesymbol would solve it. We've lived for years without a votesymbol besides "no consensus" results, we can continue doing so I presume. Ben · Salvidrim!   &#9993;  23:48, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I've removed it for now. Maybe when my JavaScript skills are better, I'll fix it. —  python coder    (talk &#124; contribs) 23:50, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

Thank you very much
The RfC discussion to eliminate portals was closed May 12, with the statement "There exists a strong consensus against deleting or even deprecating portals at this time." This was made possible because you and others came to the rescue. Thank you for speaking up.

By the way, the current issue of the Signpost features an article with interviews about the RfC and the Portals WikiProject.

I'd also like to let you know that the Portals WikiProject is working hard to make sure your support of portals was not in vain. Toward that end, we have been working diligently to innovate portals, while building, updating, upgrading, and maintaining them. The project has grown to 80 members so far, and has become a beehive of activity.

Our two main goals at this time are to automate portals (in terms of refreshing, rotating, and selecting content), and to develop a one-page model in order to make obsolete and eliminate most of the 150,000 subpages from the portal namespace by migrating their functions to the portal base pages, using technologies such as selective transclusion. Please feel free to join in on any of the many threads of development at the WikiProject's talk page, or just stop by to see how we are doing. If you have any questions about portals or portal development, that is the best place to ask them.

If you would like to keep abreast of developments on portals, keep in mind that the project's members receive updates on their talk pages. The updates are also posted here, for your convenience.

Again, we can't thank you enough for your support of portals, and we hope to make you proud of your decision. Sincerely,  &mdash; The Transhumanist   10:48, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

P.S.: if you reply to this message, please ping me. Thank you. -TT

A barnstar for you!

 * Basically, what I did was copy the wikitext of the icon galleries I mentioned as sources, then pasted them into an Excel workbook. After that, I cut-and-pasted each section into a different sheet. (This was the most tedious part.) After that, I used Excel's "Remove duplicates" feature to eliminate the duplicate icons (some manual edits were needed here). After that, I copied and pasted the text from each sheet back into the Wikipedia page. I later added additional icons I found.
 * The ordering of the sources was more or less random, but I did find yours to be one of the most complete. I am flattered by your stealing of my gallery; I did make a typo correction in the "Questions" section so you may want to incorporate that into yours. —  python coder    (talk &#124; contribs) 14:50, 9 June 2018 (UTC)

New page reviewer granted
Hello Pythoncoder. Your account has been added to the " " user group, allowing you to review new pages and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or in some cases, tag them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is a vital function for policing the quality of the encylopedia; if you have not already done so, you must read the new tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the various deletion criteria. If you need more help or wish to discuss the process, please join or start a thread at page reviewer talk. The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In case of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, the right can be revoked at any time by an administrator. S warm  ♠  19:14, 17 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Please consider helping get the huge backlog down to a manageable number of pages as soon as possible.
 * Be nice to new users - they are often not aware of doing anything wrong.
 * You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted - be formal and polite in your approach to them too, even if they are not.
 * Don't review a page if you are not sure what to do. Just leave it for another reviewer.
 * Remember that quality is quintessential to good patrolling. Take your time to patrol each article, there is no rush. Use the message feature and offer basic advice.

Suggestion for June
Regarding Wikipedia Signpost/Next issue/Discussion report I humbly suggest you've buried the lead; the community effectively reverted Jimbo on the "royal names" matter.

Amended parenthetical
Dl73 (talk) 12:04, 14 August 2018 (UTC) Thank you for the proposed amendment, the aim of which, it is appreciated, was to make the description more conventional. But the description originally used had a particular purpose: the appropriate and most useful parenthetical in this (unique) case is not "singer" but "music hall". The reason is that the original, late performer's name has, unfortunately, been appropriated by a living drag-act/rap "singer" named Christopher Green (who appears to administer his own wikipedia entry, apt itself to cause confusion). This person's appropriation of the name seems to have caused complications in using simply "Ida Barr" with no parenthetical, which would have been preferred. Use of "singer" as a parenthetical for the late Ida Barr is capable of adding confusion. If possible, the ideal solution would be to have "Ida Barr" with no parenthetical; "(Music hall)" would be second best. Thank you for your understanding. 17 August 2018 Dl73 (talk) 12:04, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

Feedback on warning, and don’t template the regulars, please.
Hey Pythoncoder,

I just received a Uw-nor1 warning from you about the no original research policy. I however am well aware of the policy, and wasn’t thinking much of it when I made the problem edit, as it has to do with something that’s intra-Wikipedia, and not many sources cover silly Wikipedia events such as vandalism of a famous persons page. And those user warning templates can be kind of annoying, especially if the target user gets the same template message over and over, so I stopped using them for the most part and instead, post a message in my own words about their problem edits instead of templating them, especially if they’re not a new or anonymous user who intends to violate the Wikipedia policies. On that topic, most users seldom intend to violate Wikipedia’s policies. My edit was in good faith, and I didn’t intend to put original research into a very commonly read article, which in this case is Vandalism on Wikipedia. Look at a past message on my talk page for example (the one above the uw-nor1 template message you left me), left by Nightscream. It’s in his own words about adhering to the policies on original research and verifiability. That’s what I do to regulars, longtime users, and well known users who I need to convey a message to that’s represented by a user warning template. Instead of using a standardized template message, I make a message from scratch. Even a level-1 template may seem harsh at times. Also, I stopped using Twinkle because of this. Twinkle fills in an automatic edit summary, so it’s difficult for me to know the mood of the editor issuing me a warning. It’s kinda like sarcasm in a text message without using an emoji to convey your current mood. There’s an essay about templating the regulars at WP:DTR. tl;dr Regulars may be fully aware of Wikipedia’s policies and guidelines, so leaving a template on their talk page might just seem like your reteaching then when they already know what to do and what not to do while editing Wikipedia. Thanks! — Nick Gurr 7777        &#124; TALK  /  CONTRIBS &#124; 22:40, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
 * 2 s in a week... maybe it’s time for a wikibreak. —  python coder    (talk &#124; contribs) 00:22, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Or maybe not. That "do not template the regulars" thing is only a WP:ESSAY -- people still seem to drop templates all over my talk page for the strangest of reasons -- and also I'm not sure that someone who only started editing a few months ago and still has less than one thousand edits is exactly a "regular" as intended by that essay anyway? Level 1 notices generally do assume good faith, so there's altogether too many wikilinks in the above message from Nick Gurr 7777 for anyone to need any trout. Or maybe it's just late here so I'm missing something. MPS1992 (talk) 00:52, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Call me crazy, but I do like being templated. So that probably makes me biased towards doing the same thing to other users, even if that's not the best idea. See, I wish there was a self-minnow template, but because self-trout already is smaller than a minnow, there wouldn't be much point. Let that be a lesson to me... never edit when your phone battery is at 4%, it messes with your mind! —  python coder    (talk &#124; contribs) 01:20, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

Editing and Approval of Efficiencie
Hi Pythoncoder,

Thank you for the great work you are doing and taking time to review my page edit for Efficiencie.

Seen your review and dismissal of the Efficiencie page. I am new to editing wikipedia pages and i don't see how the page is like marketing because i wrote it modelling after other accepted wikipedia pages which have exactly the same flow.

Can you please help me advise what i should remove or help me with your services of writing a proper wikipedia page because the external links i put are from credible news sources and leading newspapers in our country.

My intention is not to market but to create an Efficiencie page that people can read. So you can take out whatever looks like marketing.

Your help on this will be highly appreciated.

Kind regards, Kavuma

The Signpost
Hi. I appreciated you  joining  the team. I'm strictly  nothing  to  do  with  it now, but  during  those few months I learned a lot. Most of it  just  reinforced my evidence that  I  had already  accumulated over the years and as a long-time admin, that  far  too  many users are a nasty bunch of people, and far too few  users are prepared to  do  anything  about  it -  RfA is a prime example of the causal  factors why  people  won't risk writing  for  The Signpost. If you are going  to  contribute to  the editorial  team, you'll  need to  encourage people to  contribute  content to  it and help  maintain  standards. Using the magazine or its comment space to  create or fan flame wars is something  we all need to learn to  combat, not  just  sit  back  and let  it happen. If it hadn't  been for  all  that  nonsense, there was a fair chance I  would have remained in the seat for a while. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 00:24, 15 October 2018 (UTC)!
 * I appreciate the monumental effort you put forth, Kudpung. Did you know during my appearance at ANI last spring, an editor brought up the fact that I write humour articles in an attempt to discredit my ability to edit in my area of expertise. OH yes! There are consequences for writing for the Signpost. Barbara ✐ ✉  01:19, 24 October 2018 (UTC)

 * Just a heads up  while thanking  you  again for  everything you  do  for  the magazine; there is really no  need to  put  attribs to  every  single line of contributions to  pages of multiple entry team efforts such as for  example 'In the Media' or 'News and Notes' etc. The  collective byline at  the top  is generally  sufficient for  all  but  the more substantial  lead entry(s). If people  really  want  to know, they  can always check out  the history. I realise that  I  no  longer have any  official  say  in  the Newsroom, so  it's just  my  2c.

I. Robert Lehman
Do you do any research before tagging bad new stubs for deletion or do you just blindly react to the fact that it's a bad new stub with a prod? I. Robert Lehman is very clearly notable, as you probably would have discovered if you did any searching, and your immediate tagging of the article for deletion not only keeps good content out of the encyclopedia but also is problematic from the point of view of WP:BITE. I agree that the stub as written was not in an acceptable shape, but there are other things that you can do in response to that problem than delete delete delete. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:21, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

I just created the article but since I did not have enough time to finish it myself, I had left it for some other time to get complete. However, somebody else has extended my article and added references so please do not tag it for deletion anymore. This is Amir Azhieh —Preceding undated comment added 02:27, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi, is it possible to use/modify User:Pythoncoder/Scripts/userHighlighter to highlight blocked users in watchlists and page histories? Ideally with the ability to differentiate between temporarily blocked users and indeffed ones. Nthep (talk) 19:51, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I noticed that bug a while ago as the script conflicts with the strike-out-blocked-users gadget if the blocked user is extended confirmed. I'll add that option when I have time but I'm busy in real life so it might take a week or more. (Signpost people who are reading my talkpage, don't worry, I'll get my article in on time.) —  python coder    (talk &#124; contribs) 20:50, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

Request on 09:14:50, 3 December 2018 for assistance on AfC submission by 3271960JT
Hi Content Moderator,please tell me what improvements should be made to the drafting to make it suitable for Wikipedia. Please....

3271960JT (talk) 09:14, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
 * — The article needed more references to reliable sources that are independent of the topic, which you have added in the time since I declined the submission. However, I'd like someone else to review the improved draft as I believe it will produce a fairer review if someone who hasn't previously reviewed it reads it. —  python coder    (talk &#124; contribs) 13:21, 3 December 2018 (UTC)

Wikipedia:2001
Re:

Sadly, wikipedia:years was 99.9% my single-handed endeavor. Even more sadly, my health gravely deteriorated, I all but ceased to edit wp, and wp:years died off. Since you obviously had a pinch of interest, may I ask you, if it is worth revitalizing it by attracting attention of broader wikipedianship? - üser:Altenmann >t 04:52, 6 December 2018 (UTC)
 * I joined in March 2016, so my knowledge of WikiHistory before then and especially before 2018 is somewhat limited. I'll put in what I can but I don't expect to become an "active" maintainer. —  python coder    (talk &#124; contribs) 15:28, 6 December 2018 (UTC)
 * I was not thinking about you personally working on these pages; I was asking your opinion whether it is worth bringing attention to this project on some forums. BTW Wikihistory is something else :-) - üser:Altenmann >t 01:15, 8 December 2018 (UTC)

About Page Amin Shahrbanoo page
Hi, hope you are doing well, I wrote an article about Amin Shahrbanoo, because his known as Young Iranian Director who made a film "The Stranger" in Hollywood, according to IMDB and the way I found about him is on Instagram, , there were few pages on Instagram with over 400k followers who have posted video about him, and the reason they use Instagram for news these days is that due to filters and some restrictions in our country, most websites are not coming up in Iran, and that's the only way to share news, however, I was also wanted to make an article about him that way we can help and support him too, but you have denied the article due to IMDB is not a good reference, is the way you can help us,

please search his name in google and see few websites has wrote about him,

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:E000:214B:E700:5403:9710:2CA9:1109 (talk) 00:47, 7 December 2018 (UTC)

Userbox for you
Hey Pythoncoder, I made a userbox with File:New-Wikipedia-explode.gif! It looks like this:

P.S. I just noticed:The tabs on top of your userpage don't turn white when you clik them-The text just turns black. Want some help with that?

 * Yes, I know, but that can be fixed. Check the template's documentation page for more info, and see my userpage and my tab page's source code for an example.

Take part in a survey
Hi Pythoncoder

We're working to measure the value of Wikipedia in economic terms. We want to ask you some questions about how you value being able to edit Wikipedia.

Our survey should take about 10-15 minutes of your time. We hope that you will enjoy it and find the questions interesting. All answers will be kept strictly confidential and will be anonymized before the aggregate results are published. Regretfully, we can only accept responses from people who live in the US due to restrictions in our grant-based funding.

As a reward for your participation, we will randomly pick 1 out of every 5 participants and give them $25 worth of goods of their choice from the Wikipedia store (e.g. Wikipedia themed t-shirts). Note that we can only reward you if you are based in the US.

Click here to access the survey: https://mit.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eXJcEhLKioNHuJv

Bangladesh Honda Private Limited Page Deletation
Hi, I'm Mamshad,a teenage programmer from Bangladesh. I'm very new in Wikipedia for writing articles. So, I didn't noticed copyright issues while writing this article

This page will be updated day by day and informations are collected from various sources. The official webpage is the most secured source for it. If it is a fully copied page, I'm obviously sorry in that case and I will try my level best to maintain copyrights in this page. Please don't delete this page because this is my first article in Wiki ^_^

Your Sincerely, Mamshad Shakir Islam, Dhaka, Bangladesh — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mamshad Shakir Islam (talk • contribs) 17:20, December 20, 2018 (UTC)
 * Hello, thanks for talking to me. I see you've taken a break from Wikipedia for a while, so welcome back! I've removed the infringing text from Bangladesh Honda Private Limited to give you time to fix the article. It is in less danger of being immediately deleted now. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously but since you're a new editor it's unfair to delete the page right away in my opinion. I recommend reading Wikipedia's copyright policy. I will put a template on the page in 24 hours (more or less) telling an administrator to hide the old revisions since they are still copyright violations, but here's the link to the page that you copy-pasted so you can add back info from it in your own words: https://www.bdhonda.com/about-us/about-bhl. It's good that you're adding secondary sources as well. One more thing: please put ~ after your posts. —  python coder    (talk &#124; contribs) 22:43, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

Shift4 Payments Page
Hi there,

I'm trying to get a page up about a company. You reviewed it and rejected it, and I was wondering if I could get some specific instances that need to be corrected in order to fix the problems. Here's a link to the draft page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Shift4_Payments

Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paul.jonah.paul (talk • contribs) 16:58, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I declined the article because of its promotional language, such as describing the company's products as "solutions". To fix this problem, you should edit the article to remove instances of the word "solution" or replace "solution" with a less vague and more neutral term like "product" or "service". (If you are using the word "Solution" as part of a product name, such as with Network Solutions, you can leave it in.) —  python coder    (talk &#124; contribs) 13:28, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
