User:STBotI error
It looks like STBotI has a minor error when it reports fair use disputes. See its edit to User talk:StutterTalk. It's adding an extra "}" to the heading. Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 05:22, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

User:ST47/notagr again
Following up to this conversation, it seems a number of the older taggings using User:ST47/notagr (like File:Sausman cross 09.jpg, File:Max keiser on a london bus.jpg) were put into red-linked categories like Category:Wikipedia files with unknown copyright status as of 12 January 2009. I think there was a switch in the category naming sometime and the bot may have missed that. You can see from the category tracker that a number of old images are in some weird limbo. Would you mind just going through and tagging them again, resetting the clock so to speak? That or a F4 CSD tag. I think that should take care of them. Thanks. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 01:45, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Re-tagging of images is in work. ST47 (talk) 02:30, 27 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks. MiszaBot should be busy removing a lot of lines from the tracker next time around. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 04:16, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

ARSbot tweaks
Hi ST47! More tweaks for ARSBot.

1. First off, we have it so when the rescue tag is removed from an item it is moved from the current article page to the subpage. Sadly there continues to be some edit warring resulting in multiple removing and relisting the XfD discussion. As a solution can we make it so this listing is moved to the subpage when the XfD discussion is closed/archived instead - I think this will lessen the disruption overall.

2. Secondly, tagged items are presented in the order they have the rescue tag added to them. Instead I think it would be more helpful to list them chronologically by the date they are sent to XfD. In theory this would move items that have less time before the close of discussion towards the top of the list. Obviously this won't be foolproof as not every discussion is exactly seven days but in general I think this will help pre-organize some of the work. We would then add a subsection for each date and sort each listing under the XfD created date. It may make sense to add a line of text for each listing - Nominated for deletion discussion May 5, 2009. or similar.

Are these do-able? As always thanks in advance and let me know what help I can offer to assist. -- Banj e b oi   23:12, 16 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Any update? Also ARSBot has been removing one multiple AfD prematurely. This wasn't an issue before - what's up. -- Banj e  b oi   18:28, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

could have a more descriptive edit summary. If not too time consuming, could you add a clarification like "Adding or removing one or more recently listed articles - Added 0 Removed 2?"

DEFAULTSORT
Please take a look at WP:NAMESORT, particularly the sub-section WP:MCSTJR, particularly "accented letters and ligatures should be replaced by their unaccented or separated counterparts".

Also, disambiguation terms (such as "SPD") are normally omitted from sort keys. In particular, in biographies, putting a disambiguation term after the family name causes a disruptive mis-sorting. Studerby (talk) 18:53, 24 July 2009 (UTC)


 * oh, and most of the articles you are creating are for living people, any chance you could add Category:Living people as you add the article, when appropriate? Studerby (talk) 19:01, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Oops, I wasn't aware of the issues with disambiguation terms - there was one word I was told to ignore, because it was merely a rank, however I wasn't aware of anything else, however I only added, not changed defaultsort keys, so nothing that was working is now broken. I couldn't find a simple way to remove the diacritics. ST47 (talk) 20:37, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Pwn Article
Why is the Pwn article still locked after two years? I had intended to add the following There also an alternative form "own", derived from the original lineage of the word. The internet mockumentary series Pure Pwnage (site), is notable for using this pronunciation. as I felt it was worthy of mention considering the increasing usage of the word. It is finding its way increasingly into the spoken word.

I'll add on a general note that it's very frustrating to find such forgotten locks still in place years after their implementation. This may seem a trivial article, but I have found it on many important ones as well. It would be nice for locks to have a sunset clause of some description.

WikiCup scoring
I have a question about the scoring system in the WikiCup. Is it a bot that does it? Can the bot be used to score another contest? I'm thinking of setting one up for WikiProject Aviation to promote participation and camaraderie. Would I have to set it up exactly like the WikiCup or can I request a few differences? Thanks for any help you can give. -  Trevor  MacInnis   contribs  03:56, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * It's bot-run. All that is really necessary is that you decide how to score it, and I then write up a bot configuration for that. I am however going to be quite busy and not necessarily in the possession of internet access for the next few days owing to a college move-in, but I will look at this when I get a chance. ST47 (talk) 05:58, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Does your college move-in have something to do with your bot not running for the WikiCup? :/  iMatthew  talk  at 22:03, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your help. The scoring is very similar to the WikiCup. DYK, ITN, GAN, FAC and other Featured Content (minus Feature Portal) are exactly the same. I've not added mainspace edits because without a bot it would be too difficult to score by hand, but if your bot was to score it, it would be the same as WikiCup, except the only edits to count would be those on pages in the Aviation Projects Scope, i.e. talk page tagged with WPAVIATION. I've also added points for creating an article (so 5 points for creating an article and putting WPAVIATION on its talk page). Also .1 points for assessing an article (changing |class= to |class=anything ) and .1 points for completing the B-Class checklist in the WPAVIATION banner. If the last two are too difficult to code I'd be fine with dropping them. The contest page is at WikiProject_Aviation/Contest if you want to take a look. It's all set up just like WikiCup, with submissions pages and scorecard all set up the same way. Thanks again, for any help you can give. -  Trevor  MacInnis   contribs  22:11, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Also, could the scoring be done by bot in conjuction with manual scores? I could hand score the assess and b-class checklists part (if it's too hard to code) and the bot could do the rest. Or would the bot override any edits I made to the score page (WikiProject Aviation/Contest/History/2009)? -  Trevor  MacInnis   contribs  16:56, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Bot broken?
ARSBot seems to not be working? Can it be turned back on? -- <u style="font-size:14px; font-family: cursive;color:#8000FF">Banj e <u style="font-size:14px;font-family: Zapfino, sans-serif;color:deeppink">b oi   09:37, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Replace Article on SPX Corporation
I would like to create a page on SPX Corporation but see that one had been previously created and deleted. How do I ensure I don't duplicate that article or the problems it had that caused it to be deleted? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ceebs59 (talk • contribs) 18:00, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
