Jacinto Convit article

This article needs serious citations, two of them don't work and make serious allegations: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacinto_Convit — Preceding unsigned comment added by Morza05 (talk • contribs) 21:51, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

Format for Addbot article reporting webpage

Hi guys! A bit weird I know requestion you to come here to discuss this but it seems the easiest way to do this! I found your names on the log edit history! Addbot is now generating a crosswiki database of where it is leaving links! I want your help to think of what we want the webpage to look like displaying the information! The database holds the following columns of information 'article'(article name), 'lang'(language of project eg. 'en'), 'links'(number of links left after last check), 'lastcheck'(timestamp of last check).
Any input would be great and if you feel like you have 5 mins spare you could even work on a web page html design ;p. ·Add§hore· ^{Talk To Me!} 02:41, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

Personally I was thinking a page where you can select a language, then a page where you can select one of the following lists (most recently checked, least recently checked, most interwiki links, least interwikilinks), and then a list of 100 articles with the ability to do next and prev page along with various links for each article to make checking them easier (any suggestions on the format of displaying article name with links etc. would be great! ·Add§hore· ^{Talk To Me!} 02:41, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

Also to any of you that just so happen to be one of those amazing talk page stalkers that have helped out with worried users asking repetative questions it would be great if you could stalk meta:User talk:Addshore for a while too ;p ·Add§hore· ^{Talk To Me!} 02:45, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

First off, we all know you are weird... Ok, really weird. So, the request is tame compared to some of your past ones. :)

I'd be more interested in things that would make the job go faster. I already have the slurpInterwiki gadget enabled on Wikidata and the Display Wikidata Info on Wikipedia script enabled on Wikipedia. So...

1. Is it possible to show if the 'article' already has an entry on wikidata? If it does have an entry, this is usually a quick and easy case to take care of.
2. Is it possible to show if any of the 'langs' have an entry on wikidata?
3. A link to the corresponding article for each 'lang"? When you have two interwiki links for the same language, one is usually a redirect.
4. Does anybody have a better/faster system? Especially if the 'article' doesn't have a wikidata entry and you have to check the 'langs' to make sure they are not already in Wikidata?

Thank you for your work on running your bot all over the place. You and Lego have made the transition less painful and more seamless. Bgwhite (talk) 06:58, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

Bgwhite has some great comments, I'd add, with respect to the langlinks, well, let's say that you find that NL, SV, FI had to one Wikidata entry, AR, FA to a second, it'd be nice to be able to organize that information quickly without having to click through to each one of the five. Thanks for all you've been doing here, I'm impressed with how smoothly this rollout has gone so far. --j⚛e decker^talk 15:24, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

In addition to the "slurpInterwiki gadget" and the "Wikidata displayed in Wikipedia script" mentioned by Bgwhite, I have found the use of the Migration of links gadget very useful in removing links once they have been added to Wikidata. I think the idea of ordering the list in order of last checked and by number of interwikis still present are both great ideas and mean we will be able to prioritise the work. Many links being left is often a sign of an interwiki conflict in need of fixing. Not sure about least interwiki links. Those would seem to be the last on our to-do list.

Bgwhite's point 1: It may be good if seperate lists were made depending upon whether the item has its own Wikidata entry or not. It would help people know what problem they will be facing in advance.

Thanks again Addshore for your continued work in making the transition work so well. It would be great if, once the database has been created, it is made well known in order to increase the number of editors working on the backlog. Perhaps there could be a permanent link to it from Wikidata's interwiki conflicts page and other related pages across the Wikimedia projects? We need as many editors as possible to tackle the conflicts.

I am confident that we can remove interwikilinks in their entirity from the small Wikipedias. One potential problem here on en.Wiki is the constant addition of interwikis by people unaware of Wikidata (see here). Not sure how to tackle it. Don't want to put people off adding useful lang links, but would like people to learn how to do it in the new way. Del_♉sion23 (talk) 19:01, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

Quick note. I will hopfully manage to read this all at some point. I did just read this last message by Delusion. Would it be a great idea to have (just under the edit box and above summary e.t.c) something saying that iwlinks are now stored on wikidata not in articles? ·Add§hore· ^{Talk To Me!} 16:57, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

• Development
  • More work on widget to add language links on the Wikipedias directly without having to go to Wikidata
  • Bug fixes for Wikipedias, including:
    • don't show edit link when noexternallanglinks magic word suppresses Wikidata links (bugzilla:45037)
    • use Q## links instead of linking to Special:ItemByTitle for “edit links” link (bugzilla:44536)

  • Catching up on writing tests for untested functionality
  • More work on the Lua support for accessing data from the repository (wikidata.org) on the Wikipedias
  • Updated Wikidata’s Vagrant development machine
  • Created initial QueryStore interface
  • Created initial setup code for the SQL QueryStore
  • Discussed and created initial schema for the SQL QueryStore

  • WMF Metrics and Activities meeting (recording is linked there)
  • office hour in German
  • upcoming: Bibliothek & Information

  • We’re now live on all Wikipedias with phase 1 \o/
  • Deployed bugfixes and a new data type (string) to wikidata.org
  • How will Wikidata impact Wikipedia?
  • More useful database reports (more are being requested on the discussion page)
  • Quite a few new properties that make use of the new string data type now and more are being proposed
  • Lukas wants to work with us to improve usability
  • New user scripts at d:Wikidata:Tools
• Did you know?
  • Is a specific bug report really important to you? If you have an account on bugs.wikimedia.org you can easily add yourself to the CC list of the bug and then receive updates about its status via email
  • Wikidata is also on Twitter, identi.ca, Facebook and Google+
  • There is an IRC channel too: #wikimedia-wikidata on freenode

PHP help

I can't figure it out. What, with these changes to the framework, is causing my bots to crash and not want to start?—cyberpower ^Chat_Online 19:28, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

I found it.—cyberpower ^Chat_Online 12:53, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

Sorry I couldnt help and you beat me to it :P ·Add§hore· ^{Talk To Me!} 11:39, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

Like I said, I'm extremely busy working on the framework. I hope to release it into public domain once it's done. I'm going to call it Peachy 2. Minimum mw version required is 1.21 (current version).—cyberpower ^Chat_Online 00:40, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

I would probably end up using it if it worked well ;p ·Add§hore· ^{Talk To Me!} 21:52, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Page Protection

I Ask for semi-protection for this article, Largest cities in Europe.

A unregistered user continous to vandalism this article claiming "Turkish propaganda" and without links to a source. he also claims That Istanbul (Turkey) And Armenia - Georgia - Azerbaijan in the Caucasus region are not a part of Europe. These countries are all recognized states As European by the European Union and they are all members of the Council of Europe, "The Council of Europe is an international organization promoting co-operation between all countries of Europe in the areas of legal standards, human rights, democratic development, the rule of law and cultural co-operation".

Furthermore Turkey are a candidate country to join the EU, see Accession of Turkey to the European Union. So there are no reason not to in include these countries to Europe, these countries are also on all other articles recarding Europe on wikipedia.

I hope you as a Aministrator can se the need for the protection against this continous vandalism. Lactasamir (talk) 12:17, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

The first option is usually to engage in discussion with the IP to see if you can reason with them, rather than to prevent all IPs from editing the article. If the IP will not discuss the issue and instead just edit wars, then warnings can be given out, and potentially a temporary block. Page protection is usually reserved for pages under attack from multiple vandals. (sorry for page-stalking, Addshore!) Del_♉sion23 (talk) 11:17, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for the answer:) The article Largest cities in Europe are still under vandalism, the unregistered user 46.254.75.1 are claiming "Turkish propaganda" and he is posting incorrect info without links to a source.

He will not engage discussion on the talk page, i have been giving the user several warning messages but no reply. So now i would like to report disruption and ask administrators to consider blocking this disruptive IP. Lactasamir (talk) 23:26, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

No problem, Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism is always useful for reporting disruptive IP editors :) Del_♉sion23 (talk) 01:28, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Run your bot on mr.wiki

Hello

Because of Live Wikidata can you run your bot for migrating iwlinks on mr.wiki? If you want please add your bot flag request here and run your bot. --संतोष दहिवळ (talk) 18:38, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the link. When applying for bot flags I couldn't seem to find your approval page so the request naturally never happened. I will do this later today! ·Add§hore· ^{Talk To Me!} 11:37, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

Suis retirer

The French Wikipedia needs you, to change your bot's edit comments. Thierry Caro (talk) 14:06, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

This should now be done, I will try and request an unblock if I find time soon,. ·Add§hore· ^{Talk To Me!} 16:54, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

OK. Thank you. Sorry for the disturbing stop. It really meant nothing at all. Thierry Caro (talk) 19:17, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

Instapp - previously deleted article

Dear Addshore!

You previously deleted an article about Instapp on 05:56, 2 February 2013. You said that, the article's aim was to advertise. Actually, the article's aim was to write a description about the framework. It was also formally correct. The article was accepted in other languages. For example in Spanish or in Hungarian. You can se the articles below: http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/InstApp http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/InstApp

I would like to recreate the page. Please, send me your comments what should I change or do something differently in order to publish the article!

I am waiting for your answer!

Remove cbk-zam interwikis in Spanish municipalities

In cbk-zam Wikipedia created pages of all municipalities from Spain, France, etc, a month ago. But after they deleted interwikis, and now the cbk-zam interwikis are in all pages of all Wikipedias (English, Spanish, ...), like O Rosal. So, please remove the cbk-zam interwikis. --Vivaelcelta {discussion  · contributions} 14:14, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

Saturation (telecommunications) redirect

This bot has moved the link Saturation (telecommunications) to wikitionary (or whatever the thing is). However, your bot has failed to fix all of the links found here. I tried to edit them as an anonymous user, but then I get blamed for spamming wikipedia. Please look at having the bot fix all the links.
