Could you give us an example? - Jarry1250 (t, c) 18:20, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
 * See Standardize notes.py. Create template. If URL is only known the go to site and get title. For certain URLs Cite news. If not, Cite web. SkyBonTalk\Contributions 19:03, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Pywikipedia's standardize_notes.py does not seem to do what you say, and is inappropriate for use on this Wikipedia as it does not use and . Also, note that the difference in formatting between citation and cite web is a matter of contention (see Bots/Requests for approval/Citation bot 4 for one recent example) and seems to be essentially the same thing as Bots/Requests for approval/CiteFixBot (also at WP:BRFA at this time).
