Greetings from WikiProject Open Access
Dear Rjwilmsi, it is now one year since WikiProject Open Access was started by User:Bluerasberry on January 10, 2012. Since then, the project has advanced modestly, but we have not interacted much. For the coming year, we certainly want to improve on that.

We also plan to overhaul the project pages to make them more conducive to collaboration, and we are pondering the idea of expanding the concept of a WikiProject Open Access to projects other than the English Wikipedia, e.g. to other languages or to Wikimedia Commons. You are warmly invited to add your voice to all that. We would also appreciate if you would share some of your OA-related activities by way of our news ticker or via the monthly Open Access report that is part of the GLAM newsletter (to which you can subscribe here), or as you see fit otherwise.

As a visual token of the anniversary, I am adding today's Open Access File of the Day. Feel free to nominate files yourself. As of today, commons:Category:Open access (publishing) contains more than 15,000 files, of which about 2/3 are video and sound files uploaded by the Open Access Media Importer.

Thanks for being part of the project, and looking forward to more interaction. With a smile, -- Daniel Mietchen - WiR/OS (talk) 23:40, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 13
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Bioelectrical impedance analysis, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Impedance (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Copying Infoboxes using AWB
Thanks for your reply here. Ganesh did reply saying that your suggestion didn't work. I've tried it too, with no luck. You'ld think that this would be a simple operation: "Copy Infobox Location" (!!), but life's not so simple is it! I've worked on this for a whole month, and would shrivel up if I didn't find a solution! Many thanks, Llywelyn2000 (talk) 04:53, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

AWB/mono fixes
I was playing around with the code today as I wasn't in position to do regular stuff.


 * 1) I think I solved this  bug with running under mono.
 * 2) In WikiFunctions.csproj this needed to be added else it through off an error that it couldn't find something:   
 * 3) In the csproj files, there were several case issues... doesn't cause problems on windows, but does Linux.  Files ending in designer.cs should have been Designer.cs.  An example is in WikiFunctions.csproj at the line that contained: 

Well, the splash screen runs longer until a nice long error hits. It is a "System.InvalidCastException: Cannot cast from source type to destination" error. Haven't a clue what it means. I was using Mono 3.0.3 Bgwhite (talk) 06:30, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Re System.Core, VS complains (and won't let you) if you try to add System.Core, saying it's done automatically. What's the conditional to use it? How did you fix the first bug? Reedy (talk) 13:58, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
 * fixes the Designer casing mismatches. Reedy (talk) 14:04, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Reedy, for the first bug check Wikipedia talk:AutoWikiBrowser/Bugs. -- Magioladitis (talk) 14:11, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks all. I promise I won't be playing around with the code for awhile.  The next bug I ran into is at User:Bgwhite/Sandbox.  Not sure what it means, maybe one of you guys know.  Hmmm, off to bug Magioladitis again. Bgwhite (talk) 07:23, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

Bare URLs
Hi. I wondered if your bot had the capacity to search for all articles with Bare URLs or refs needing expanding them and tag them?♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld  18:57, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
