Year of birth missing
Hi. I noticed you are adding Category:Year of birth missing to articles. Good job! Please keep in mind that when the person is alive, the use Category:Year of birth missing (living people) is recommended. -- Magioladitis (talk) 22:27, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Links to copyvio on Youtube
Hello again. I wonder would you kindly take a look at the links to Youtube in the "Listen and Compare" sections of the articles Dramatic soprano, Coloratura Soprano and similar, a list of which can be found in Soprano. In my view these violate External_links. I've pointed these out to User:Nrswanson here but to no avail. D7240 (talk) 20:00, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Admin bots
Hello, I have recently had an encounter with an unapproved admin bot, and despite an extremely clear dictate by policy that these bots should be blocked, have been discouraged from doing so. Depending how this situation resolves, I will likely file an arbitration request to hopefully resolve this issue once and for all. You commented on Wikipedia talk:Requests for comment/Adminbots, stating that you ran an admin bot. To help get an idea of how widespread admin bots are, as well as get a uniform decision, I would like to ask: Do you still operate this bot, and does it operate when you are not present? Please reply on my talk page, thanks, Prodego  talk  00:40, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Question about Polbot
Hey there, I had a quick question. About a year ago, Polbot created a whole bunch of stubs on Japanese photographers from a sole source. A day or two, someone tagged one of them, Motokazu Kumagai, for notability and, with a quick search, I had to agree. In context, however, I assume there was some discussion about how all these individuals are notable but lack English sources, or about how that source is a definitive guide to Japanese photographers etc. etc. Anyhow, I was just wondering if you could clear this up because, if I hadn't seen that I was automatically created, this would otherwise be something I would probably at least PROD.

Bot proposal - comments needed
I'm messaging you since you participated in a Village Pump discussion a while back on the subject. I've since put in a proposal for a bot to revert the addition of redlinks to a subset of list articles and/or list sections.

French commune infoboxes
Hi. We have a large back log of French commune articles to add the infoboxes from French wikipedia Status check. All that needs doing is copying the infobox directly from the French wikipedia equivalent. Please see Vulaines. All that needs doing for each article is cutting and pasting the infobox from French wiki into every article which must be bot compatible. So for Vulaines all it requires is pasting the infobox into it from here and pasting it into the english wiki article.

Polbot Product Creates Plagiarized Articles
I recognize that writing is labor-intensive and sometimes tedious, but your Polbot automated product (the ultimate lazy writer's tool) basically creates plagiarized articles as it has with many of its culled contributions from http://bioguide.congress.gov... I presume it is not free-running on Wikipedia, but should you ever come back from retirement you may want to disable it & remove the article scripts it has copied from other websites, before it generates excessive intellectual property violations...Stevenmitchell (talk) 23:44, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Jane Roberts.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Jane Roberts.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? NoVomit (talk) 12:27, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Lennyfce.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Lennyfce.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 06:21, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Suggestions for name disambiguation
Hi, I see that you've revived this project despite your announced retirement! Thanks ... though it risks providing me with another excuse for wasting/spending too much time on Wikipedia to the detriment of everything else I should be getting on with. Thanks for your efforts in producing the lists, anyway. It's been quite a long time since we last had this game to play.

I've done a couple, but hit a bit of a worry: looking at John Adamson and John Adamson (Australian politician), which you list, I did a search and found John Adamson (antiquary), a long-established article. I wonder why your bot didn't find him? I seem to remember that last time round the listings included links to search for occurrences of the name - could be useful to include again?

Cheers, PamD (talk) 11:39, 23 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Another minor problem - the bot thinks that Willem van Keppel, 2nd Earl of Albemarle and Willem van_Keppel, 2nd Earl of Albemarle are distinct - doesn't know to ignore underscores? PamD (talk) 11:46, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Greetings, PamD. Thanks for working on these! My bot just looks through certain categories (such as "Australian politicians"), and looks to see if there is already an article at a name that person might go by. It doesn't search to see if there are other people who might also have the same name. It never included a search link, although I could add that; I think you're probably thinking of the version by User:Eugene van der Pijll, who did batch 3. Yes, also, my bot has an annoying problem with underbars. I thought I took all those out manually, but I guess I missed a few. All the best, – Quadell (talk) 12:06, 23 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Just found another weird one, at Z. Wang Zhen (disambiguation) has existed since Feb 2007, with a link to Wang Zhen (official) who is named as needing to be added. There doesn't look to be anything odd about it, but the bot didn't spot the existence of the dab page, let alone the link. PamD (talk) 12:41, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * And I don't understand the numbers shown - "Z" says 2 and there were 2, "D" says 2 and there are many more. Puzzling! PamD (talk) 13:12, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Minor suggestion: a blank line between entries would make it easier to delete the "done" from the file, reduce risk of accidentally swiping the next entry too. PamD (talk) 13:20, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Forgot to say: Interesting to hear you're doing it via categories such as Australian politicians - presumably there are indeed patterns where someone has bulk added entries, possibly created disambiguations in brackets, but not been savvy enough about dab pages to add them. In stub-sorting I'm constantly amazed by how many people create an entry with a bracketed disambiguation, and then don't make it accessible via dab page or hatnote, so this project is a very satisfying way to sort out some of those cases. PamD (talk) 13:20, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Another glitch: "James Young disambiguates to Jim Young (disambiguation), which doesn't mention this person." It doesn't, James Young is a dab page - albeit it lists the Jim Young dab page in "See also".  It's a bit confused/confusing! I think I came across another one of this form earlier. PamD (talk) 13:52, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * And another: "Alan Davidson (food writer), British ambassador. Alan Davidson doesn't mention this person. ", but it looks as if he's been linked on that page for some time (pre July 2008), so why couldn't the bot find him? PamD (talk) 16:00, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

American-centric?
Hi, I'm getting the impression that none of the American people are labeled as such in your proposed dab entries: eg in this list why is Samuel H. Preston not "American sociologist" while Richard J. Price is "British artist"? I hope this isn't an assumption that all the world are Americans unless otherwise specified! Does your bot need to be re-educated for a global perspective? (And, by the way, thanks for the nice idea of picking up librarians and similar interesting groups of people!). PamD (talk) 13:24, 26 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah, it's probably a bias. :) Sometimes I included the nationality, and sometimes not, depending on whim. The fact that I'm an American, combined with the fact that most sociologists listed are Americans, can sometimes lead to unintentional skew. I'll try to make future batches more consistent. – Quadell (talk) 13:50, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Infoboxes for the judges
Do you think this might be a neat idea when there's enough information to justify one? I would ask on the BRFA, but... well, it shouldn't look like a negative comment. Good work so far, by the way - just give a quick yes/no and I'm sure we'll be able to (finally) approve it. - Jarry1250 (t, c) 20:03, 3 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I hadn't thought of it. Do you mean to use, or create a new infobox specifically for Federal judges? – Quadell (talk) 20:13, 3 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Infobox Person, I would think. It would be good enough, at least. - Jarry1250 (t, c) 20:59, 3 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Pondering... I'll get back with you. – Quadell (talk) 21:12, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

It is an interesting thought - I've just finished putting together a skeleton page for WikiProject United States courts and judges, and hopefully once a community comes together on that project we will have some ideas about the presentation of those pages. I've been adding succession boxes to the bottoms of the pages, which just indicate the court, dates of service, predecessor, and successor of the judge, but do not contain other details of interest such as birth and death dates, and appointing president. Having all of that in a sideline infobox might be nice, but I'd really like to get the community of interest united first and get a consensus. It should be easy enough to add infoboxes later the same way the articles are made in the first place, right? Cheers! bd2412 T 22:20, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, Jarry1250, I think I'd rather not for the time being. I can later add them to articles that need it (whether Polbot created them or not) as a separate bot request later. – Quadell (talk) 22:25, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

User space articles using mainspace categories
The Polbot user has a great raft of articles in the user space that have mainspace categories on them. This of course makes for some real ugliness in the categories, see for example Category:Judges of the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. Studerby (talk) 09:07, 5 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh, and polbot seems to not be aware of some of the magic mangling we do names for a few DEFAULTSORT keys. The 2 biggies: a) first letter capitalized, the rest lower case, for every word/name in the sort key b) most punctionation is omitted, particularly single-quote, but not hyphen. So in sum, the name "O'Leary" has a DEFAULTSORT key of Oleary. The a) rule comes about because we want case-insensitive sorting (putting "duBois", "Dubois" and "DuBois" together, sorted by first name), but the database does case-sensitive sorting and it apparently takes a human sacrifice or worse to change it. Studerby (talk) 10:40, 5 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Hm, these are both good points. Let me see what I can do. – Quadell (talk) 12:06, 5 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Okay, I think I got those fixed. Thanks for the feedback! – Quadell (talk) 13:39, 5 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Looks great. Oh, and a suggestion for a trivial improvement to the auto-generated text, if it's do-able: when a person's school starts with the word "University", prepend a "the". The typical text "received a B.A. from University of Foobar" seems a tad stilted to me. Studerby (talk) 20:38, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

This WP:EL thing
I've been thinking over this WP:EL thing, and I think I've hit on a solution, although this may be a pain to implement (you'll have to tell me). All of the Polbot-created entries reference nothing but the FJC, so Polbot could hit those articles again and, after the first sentence (the "Joe Smith was a federal judge" line) drop a  , and after each sentence after that, drop a  , then change all my "Sources" headers to "References" and put a    template there. That way, in the future as these articles (hopefully) get expanded with additional material, all the things that can be referenced to the FJC will already by appropriately tagged as footnotes. Doable? bd2412 T 17:37, 10 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, it's technically possible, and it would be accurate... but I don't think it would look very good. I don't think there's consensus to ref every sentence in an article with the same ref tag, when the article comes from a single source, even in the meantime. I've never quite known what to do about the case where nearly everything in an article comes from one source. – Quadell (talk) 19:53, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Great, thanks! I've turned Edward Clayton Eicher into a redirect. All the best, – Quadell (talk) 12:43, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Jay S Bybee
User:Polbot/fjc/Jay S. Bybee I was told to write you about this bio. A better piece already exists under Jay Bybee. All of the polbot information is incorporated in the other article. The polbot piece should be deleted.Samantha1961 (talk) 02:31, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I'll delete it. Thanks for helping out! All the best, – Quadell (talk) 02:42, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

William Hiram Brawley
Your bot created William Hiram Brawley. Please look at William H. Brawley - same guy I think although the middle name shows Huggins. Please merge or something. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 17:04, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Please note that the articles Polbot has imported are from the Federal Judicial Center's database of U.S. federal judges - although there are inevitably some duplicates, this is largely a function of the article in Wikipedia being at the wrong name or not having redirects from the name of the official as it appears in government records. Cheers! bd2412  T 17:17, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
 * This one is fixed. A glance at the category of federal judges suggests that there are many more. Quadell, can you have Polbot generate a list of likely merge candidates in mainspace? We are basically looking for people in one of those categories with the same first initial and same last name (disregarding Jr./Sr./III, etc.) who were born in the same years, or are missing birth/death categories. (I found one that defies even this formula though - Winthrop Welles Ketcham and Winthrop Welles Ketchum, not sure which is right). bd2412  T 17:57, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I came across this from its dab page doing cleanup of human name dabs. I wasn't particularly searching methodically. Sounds like BD2412 is doing this more systematically and I defer to him/her. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 22:24, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Based on a contemporaneous obituary, I've decided it's Ketcham and merged/redirected accordingly. Cheers! bd2412  T 01:15, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Further to this, there are a number of duplicates differing only in the comma before "Jr." eg. Otto Kerner, Jr. and Otto Kerner Jr. They are cropping up at Suggestions for name disambiguation/J, Section 17 onwards. Jonathan Oldenbuck (talk) 17:06, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Smith McPherson
User:Polbot/fjc/Smith McPherson has now been merged into Smith McPherson, and thus can be deleted. (And is there a way we can make this easier for you?)Wikijsmak (talk) 12:48, 14 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks! You bring up a good point... I hadn't thought about a way for non-administrators to indicate that a subpage could be deleted. So I created the template, and changed the  template to explain it. Basically, you simply replace the  tag with a  tag, and that puts the page into a category for administrators to see it and delete it. All the best, – Quadell (talk) 13:51, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
