Hello Avicennasis
I was happy to find that you are running a bot that can clean user sandboxes, which is a very useful thing (in fact I am operating a similar bot on dewiki). Could you please add User:DrTrigon/sandbox to the list of pages? That would be great!
By the way; is there a possibility that the bot does not delete the whole page content but e.g. keep all text appearing before the sandbox template? What is the correct sandbox template to use with your bot?
Thanks and greetings --DrTrigon (talk) 10:52, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
script.py -page:pagename -content:'DefaultPageContent'
- So the page can be reset to whatever templates/text you want set for 'DefaultPageContent' (provided that 'DefaultPageContent' is static - I've not yet coded something to handle dynamic content.) Also, you can specify how frequently you want it cleaned - e.g., every 12 hours, Tuesdays, or whatever. Let me know what you need. Avicennasis @ 15:39, 2 Tevet 5772 / 15:39, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
Could you meanwhile set it to the same as on your sandbox, cleaned at midnight:
{{User:DrTrigon/sandboxnotice}} ==Test below here==
that would be a great start... Thanks a lot! Greetings --DrTrigon (talk) 21:31, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

You are invited to the National Archives ExtravaSCANza, taking place every day next week from January 4–7, Wednesday to Saturday, in College Park, Maryland (Washington, DC metro area). Come help me cap off my stint as Wikipedian in Residence at the National Archives with one last success!
This will be a casual working event in which Wikipedians are getting together to scan interesting documents at the National Archives related to a different theme each day—currently: spaceflight, women's suffrage, Chile, and battleships—for use on Wikipedia/Wikimedia Commons. The event is being held on multiple days, and in the evenings and weekend, so that as many locals and out-of-towners from nearby regions1 as possible can come. Please join us! Dominic·t 01:04, 30 December 2011 (UTC) 1 Wikipedians from DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Newark, New York City, and Pittsburgh have been invited. |
The bot keeps false positiving the NBCN rd to NBC Sports Network over to Versus (TV channel); the intended target is NBC Sports Network as the Versus article will move over to there this afternoon due to a channel rebranding. Thank you. Nate • (chatter) 09:18, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi, Avicennasis! As you may know, the Wikipedia Education Program has instilled a new set of standards that courses must meet to officially join the program for the semester. As you can see, one of the requirements is that at least one ambassador or professor is a Wikipedian, as this should give students more access to helpful information about contributing to Wikipedia and creating good content. You are listed on the Online Ambassador page; are you still interested in remaining active this semester? Some of these classes will have to remove themselves from the program should they fail to meet these standards, but we would like to ensure that new students are receiving proper support during the editing process. Please let me know if you are still interested in mentoring these students this semester and/or visit the Online Ambassador talk page to select a course that still needs an Online Ambassador. Thank you! JMathewson (WMF) (talk) 00:33, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

Hey guys!
I'm dropping you a note because you filled out the New Page Patrol survey, and indicated you'd be interested in being contacted about follow-up work. This is to notify you that we've finally released both the initial documentation about the project and also the engagement strategy, which sets out how we plan to work with the community on this. Please give both a read, and leave any comments or suggestions you have on the talkpage, on my talkpage, or in my inbox - okeyeswikimedia.org.
It's awesome to finally get to start work on this! :). Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 02:55, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

The AvicBot has been redirecting the terms on the right side of the bulleted list at Talk:Extrinsic_extensor_muscles_of_the_hand#Bigger_list to "extrinsic extensor muscles of the hand". A user has gone around removing 11 articles and redirecting them to some new page. Would it be possible to configure your bot to ignore double redirects for these particular articles? Currently it isn't a double, but if the user does this again, the bot replaces them, and unfortunately when we restore the removed articles, the bot doesn't correct it by restoring the redirect to where it originally pointed.
I am wondering, in regard to bot codes, would there be some way to enhance the code to recognize situations like this (maybe via reading history or recording its own actions) where it can reverse a redirect alteration after a page it changed (which at one point pointed to a redirect page) would have no longer pointed to one after it gets restored?
Having the same issue with EmausBot so will direct them here, maybe you guys could compare notes? Y12J (talk) 22:24, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
Just bringing to your attention that AvicBot changed two redirects for the Calgary light rail network to go to the Edmonton system's page. The redirects are Calgary lrt and Ctrain. The original target was C-Train, AvicBot changed it to Edmonton Transit System. C-Train is not a redirect. vıdıoman 22:56, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

I haven't discussed it with anyone on Spanish wikipedia yet, so I'd need to get it approved, but I was wondering if it would be possible to create a bot that can check for pages in a category on English Wikipedia that have spanish interwiki links and add the Spanish Wikipedia page to its corresponding category. For example I just created es:Categoría:Videos de YouTube, I would like to go through Category:YouTube videos and find pages like Nyan Cat which has an interwiki link to Spanish Wikipedia and add it. (I just did that one manually, but there are 156 pages in the category. I have created others too. If that can't be created, or they won't approve it on Spanish Wikipedia, is there a way to create something that will list all of the pages that have interwikilinks in a category for me?

Hi, Thrashing (computer science) had interwiki to russian ru:Компьютерный сленг (this is real story, not just an example), which means "Computer slang" and this terms are not related completedly. The russian article had interwiki to english one, too. So, 26 May UTC I removed en->ru interwiki. But I didn't remove ru->en interwiki, because I'm too lazy and I hoped some interwiki bot will remove ru->en interwiki. But instead, your bot didn't remove ru->en interwiki and moreover 28 May 2:34 UTC it added en->ru interwiki again! So, it is bug in your bot. Please, fix it. If someone removes interwiki, it means that this interwiki is wrong, so any bot should not add it again and it should remove reverse-interwiki.
But this was only part of the problem. The real life is even worse: Thrashing (computer science) had the following interwikies: cv, de, (en), es, fr, gl, ja, pt, ru, th, uk. I read this articles (thanks to google translate) and understand, that (I'm sure):
Moreover, all this articles have interwikies to each other (thanks to interwiki bots, dammit). So, they are complete graph. 26 May I not only removed en->ru interwiki, but also all other wrong interwikies (en->cv, en->fr, en->uk). 28 May 2:34 UTC your bot added this interwikies back. But instead, it had to split this complete graph to two connected components, i. e. two complete graphs: de-en-es-gl-ja-pt-th and cv-fr-ru-uk.
Also, the bot should correctly work in any case, for example, somebody changed en->ru interwiki and now it points to another article (bot should reconstruct complete graphs). Safinaskar (talk) 12:23, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
Hi Avicennasis, I'm sorry to say that I have closed your RFA as unsuccessful, with a final tally of 67/34/6. Despite your apparently sound technical work, I felt that there was very consolidated opinion in the opposition section concerning your content contributions, with ultimately no overriding consensus to support you contributing in an administrative role here. I hope that you found the feedback constructive and valuable. Best, WilliamH (talk) 12:30, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
I'm sorry to hear that you RFA failed. I don't see how lack of content contributions would make you a bad admin. →Bmusician 02:33, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
After the question was raised during your RFA, I'm surprised the matter was not pursued further. Under WP:NFCC #9, nonfree content may not be displayed outside article space, even if it meets "fair use" requirements of copyright law. I believe you should remove the material involved promptly. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 18:08, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi, You said on the help page: "... removed external links that were not needed and added some tags. That article definitely needs some references, though".

Dear Avicennasis,
My name is Gordon Mueller-Seitz and my colleague, Leonhard Dobusch, and I are currently engaged in a research project relating to the Wikimedia Strategy Process that took place in 2009-2010. Our key interest is to explore how this strategy process actually unfolded.
In this connection, we started with interviewing WM personnel and promoters such as Eugene Kim in a first step. By now we want to broaden our insights in a second step and we would like to kindly inquire if it was possible to make a short telephone interview with you concerning the WM strategy process? If yes, we would very appreciate it if you could suggest a date/time that would suit you and the telephone number we could reach you from April onwards.
Thank you very much for a brief reply. We look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes, Gordon and Leonhard

A25 Bridge still has that pesky double redirect. Olivier Charbonneau Bridge should be the final title. Peter Horn User talk 22:47, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
Would it be conceivable for a Bot to be created that lists "Backlog priorities". I am thinking of something based on page view statistics. For example Firefighting averages around 250 views a day (usually more) and it has 3 tags on it. I'm sure there are similar articles with even more average daily views. Would it be possible for a bot to take page view information for a 30 day period divide that number by 30 and add and remove articles with maintenance tags to a page like Wikipedia:Articles with maintenance tags receiving over 1000 views a day, Wikipedia:Articles with maintenance tags receiving over 500 views a day, and Wikipedia:Articles with maintenance tags receiving over 100 views a day? It wouldn't be necessary for the bot to remove the pages if it was done manually. Ryan Vesey Review me! 16:50, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
So why would you unilaterally change a category in a block message I left on a user's page? I'm sure you know changing others' talk page contributions is almost always wrong. You seem to be doing it a heck of a lot. Toddst1 (talk) 02:33, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi, you recently declined my page due to a lack of notability and unverifiable references. The artist in question is signed to and has released two albums through Atlantic Records, a subsidiary of Warner Music Group, and much of my information was cited through AllMusic.com, one of the leading music review/database sites on the internet. The group's soundtrack work was cited through IMDB and Wikipedia itself, and even if the group were not signed to a major label, I believe that this work alone would qualify them for inclusion. All of this information is available in the draft I submitted, and I would greatly appreciate it if you took a second look at the article. Thank you.

Hi Avicennasis,
I noticed that you made an edit to this page: http://en.wikipedia.orgview_html.php?sq=Google&lang=en&q=Decision_engine
I work for FindTheBest, a company listed on that page. FindTheBest was blacklisted from Wikipedia a few years ago for adding a page while the company was still very young. Now that the site has grown to 10M visitors a month, I am attempting to get FindTheBest removed from the blacklist.
I appealed to this page, but was denied by ~Amatulić: http://en.wikipedia.orgview_html.php?sq=Google&lang=en&q=MediaWiki_talk:Spam-blacklist#FindTheBest.com
Amatrulic told me I need to find a trusted editor to make an appeal to have the FindTheBest page restored. Can you help me out? Feel free to contact me at evanthomas1(at)gmail(dot)com
Thanks!

Err, it doesn't fail WP:NMUSIC since the band has signed at Warner... I have the helpee in #wikipedia-en-help. Please rethink your decision. (maybe d|v| would be more correct). mabdul 17:37, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
I've updated the albums. What other references need work? Besides the major label (and soundtrack work) what else is needed to demonstrate notability? 63.116.153.127 (talk) 19:00, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
Could you make a note on AvicBot's page that shows editors that they can fix an incorrectly added interwiki link by hiding it in a hidden comment? See Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard#Request: "Bad link" advice for interwiki bots and Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#Bots adding incorrect interwiki? As a comment, it appears that advice given at User talk:Avicennasis/MainArchive/2012Q2#Your bot puts interwikies wrong actually doesn't work in some situations. It would be great if AvicBot could provide some amount of advice in the edit summary as well or at least point towards the advice on the bot's user page. Ryan Vesey Review me! 16:20, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
What criteria is the bot using to add interwikis? I just had to spend a few minutes at several wikipedias removing a wrong interwiki which was added to Trumeau mirror and other languages.--Jordiferrer (talk) 06:55, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
I just saw that AvicBot is processing category renames. Does AvicBot delete categories after transferring their contents to the renamed categories? If not, I don't think it should be doing Cydebot's task. I disabled AvicBot for CfD until I hear back, though obviously anyone can turn it back on if they desire. Just trying to be cautious about something I haven't seen before.--Mike Selinker (talk) 07:48, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
{{db-g6|bot=AvicBot|rationale=Empty Category per [[WP:CFD/W|CFD/W]] listing}}

Hi, I received a rejection for my article on "The Leprecaun Monthly" cartoon magazine. I used a couple of Wikipedia articles as reference that both reference the magazine:

and I also included two other website references and the "Dictionary of Irish Artists", a book that is an encyclopedia of Irish Artists through the last two centuries which I was actually able to check out at a library and read (which is more than the other writers probably did for their articles because it's a very difficult book to find!). So in closing, I thought 5 references would be sufficient for this title. Can you tell me what I'm lacking? I have artwork too, but I can't upload it since my status is not high enough yet.

When AvicBot applies a speedy tag, if there is a talk page it tags that as well. The second step is unnecessary. When a page has been deleted, a prominent warning comes up automatically if there is a talk page. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 08:35, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi, Is Avicbot reading Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Working/Large as well as the regular page?

Hi! I've long noticed a troublesome trend with Wikipedians writing and running bots that perform tasks that are essential for the proper maintenance and functioning of Wikipedia without sharing the source code to them. Then, years later, if/when that bot runner disappears (or has something bad happen to him; the canonical "run over by a bus" example), Wikipedia is in a bad place, because we have to scramble to re-create a program that evolved over the course of years and that had very rich functionality.
That is why I proposed a requirement at WP:BAG that the source code of all bots be provided before they are approved to do any novel task, and that the available source code by kept up to date as the bot matures. I haven't tracked whether that requirement actually ended up going through, but I still maintain that it's a good idea, and in order to "walk the walk", I contributed back the countless hours I've spent working on category robots back to the community to the PyWikipediaBot SVN repository. I'm sure you no doubt discovered that this was the case when you were able to effortlessly bring up your category moving bot in the wake of the June 2012 North American derecho that left Cydebot inoperative for five days owing to a lack of power. We are well-covered for the eventuality of me possibly getting run over by a bus (much as I would hate for that to happen).
However, the fact remains that I have not been run over a bus yet, and I would like to respectfully and politely ask for you to leave the category moving tasks to Cydebot until that (or another power outage) should occur. I spent a lot of time writing the bot and I think it's only fair that I get the enjoyment of of running it too, and it's important to clarify that I released the source code not for other people to be able to run it here, but for other people to be able to run it in the event that I am no longer able to (or of course on other language Wikipedias where I am not not running a bot). Thanks for letting me bend your ear, Cyde Weys 01:54, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for understanding. It's fine to leave the checkpage around with some instructions to the intent of "Do not enable this bot unless Cydebot is down and a sizable CFDW backlog has accumulated". Or some number of hours (24?) is fine, if that's easier to explain. --Cyde Weys 22:14, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi Avicennasis! I notice that AvicBot (task list · contribs) seems to be running an old version of Pywikipediabot, which is causing small issues like this. As interwiki.py is frequently updated, the bot policy recommends that its users update to the latest version of the script daily. Is this something you could put in cron?

Hi, Avicennasis. Wanted to run an idea by you. At CAT:UAA, regular practice there is to remove accounts under two conditions: (1) no edits or log entries by the user in the last seven days, & (2) the category (and thus the username warning) has been on the user's talk page for more than seven days. Right now all of these removals have to be done manually, which is really time-consuming. I figure this is something that could be fairly easily automated by a bot. Is this something that you might be willing to code AvicBot to do? It would be really appreciated. NTox · talk 16:06, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

There is currently some concern amid a few editors over this user: User talk:Felipito1.966 A quick look at their talk page and contributions shows that they seem only concerned with converting everything to UK English and metric, regardless of other opinions, original format, and even the accuracy of such changes.
This behaviour has been going on since the editor first arrived - does this qualify as LTA? I haven't raised it as an LTA issue yet - thought I'd ask first.
Thanks. Chaheel Riens (talk) 06:47, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

A new proposal : ) - jc37 09:37, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
Articles for creation is desperately short of reviewers! We are looking for urgent help, from experienced editors, in reviewing submissions in the pending submissions queue. Currently there are 1023 submissions waiting to be reviewed and many help requests at our help desk.
If the answer to these questions is yes, then please read the reviewing instructions and donate a little of your time to helping tackle the backlog. You might wish to add {{AFC status}} or {{AfC Defcon}} to your userpage, which will alert you to the number of open submissions.
Plus, reviewing is easy when you use our new semi-automated reviewing script!

December 10 is Ada Lovelace's birthday! Not only was she the world's first computer programmer, but also the world's first female open source developer! Come celebrate with Wikimedia District of Columbia at Busboys & Poets for an informal get together!
The Washington, DC event will be held on Monday, December 10, 2012 at Busboys & Poets on 5th St NW & K St NW near Mt Vernon Square. The area is easily accessible by the Red Line Chinatown stop and the Yellow Line and Green Line Mt Vernon Square stop, as well as by WMATA buses.

Please join Wikimedia DC and four other local media nonprofits—the National Press Club's Young Members Committee, 100Reporters, IRE and the Fund for Investigative Journalism—in winding down another year with a night of well-mannered frivolity.
The festivities will take place on Friday evening from 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM in the Zenger Room on the 13th Floor of the National Press Club, located on 529 14th Street NW, near Metro Center. There will be meat and vegetarian appetizers as well as a cash bar with specially reduced drink prices all night long. In addition, we will be exhibiting the finalists of the Wiki Loves Monuments photo contest at the event.
Hope to see you there! Kirill [talk] 04:40, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
