Locobot operating on Turkish wiki?

Would there be any chance you could operate Locobot on Turkish wiki if I cloned {{NUMBEROF}} template? --Superyetkin (talk) 12:30, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the response, I am looking forward to it --Superyetkin (talk) 10:09, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

You may make it operate on Turkish wiki as early as you wish. Please let me know when you are done with it so that I can go on and update the template to work accordingly. Thanks for your interest. --Superyetkin (talk) 13:40, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Hello! Thanks for porting the template to our wiki. I have just renamed the template to Viki istatistikleri as well as the data-holding section to this page. I am going to translate the template into Turkish in a few hours. Please make the necessary adjustments and let me know if I have anything to do for you. Thanks again --Superyetkin (talk) 17:15, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Images from Wikisky

Hi astrofriend! I'm here because I have to speak about an important question. I think you know Wikisky, a very nice website with a full coverage of the sky through DSS2 images. As known, the usage of the images taken from this site is not allowed on wikipedia because of CC-NC, although they have no objection for this kind of usage. So, I have written to them. They redirected me to this email address here, and I have requested to them to ask an OTRS ticket for their images, explaining that we can't accept no-commercial images. They gave to me a number of proceeding and said they would have processed the requesting as soon as possible. This happened last October... Since that, I didn't receive any reply. If you are interested, please contact me as soon as possible on it.wiki, so I can give you more details, including what I wrote and what they said exactly. What a wonderful think would be to have the possibility to use images from this site! Bye! --Roberto Segnali all'Indiano 11:08, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Already done: just two days ago, I have asked to a wikipedian with OTRS access to send again an e-mail to them so we have èrepared and sent this message:

---

Dear sirs,

last October we have sent to you an e-mail concerning the request to use on Wikipedia the images of DSS2, available on Wikisky.org. We would be very grateful if you agree to grant to us your important resources in order to explain the sky objects.

Greetings,

Thanks for your interest in using the DSS2. Whilst STScI would normally approve your request as it is an educational & non-commercial use, we do not hold the datarights to the DSS2 images. Even though the digitized versions were created here, they are derived from the original photographic sky survey plates and the original observatories retain the rights to those images. See http://gsss.stsci.edu/Acknowledgements/DataCopyrights.htm I am copying those institutions on my reply and I encourage them to give you permission to use their respective image data.

• CAST {{permissionOTRS|2008072210023406}}
• Margaro {{PermissionOTRS|2009051510015314}}

Both the websites are in italian language, but it's very easy to understand where are the images and which subject they rappresent, because they follow the number of catalogues. Enjoy! --Roberto Segnali all'Indiano 05:25, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

Wikisky: first step

As I have promised, I'm keeping you updated.

For having the right to use images from Wikisky, we need to do 3 steps, because 3 are the organizations who provide the images to Wikisky. The first step is done: the California Institute of Technology agrees to grant to us the permission to use their survey. I have processed the request (I'm an OTRS operator) and I have given an OTRS number {{permissionOTRS|2009052010051757}} (if you too are an OTRS operator you can verify). Their work is available here and concerns all POSS2 surveys. On italian Wikipedia I have archived their email in this page (don't worry, it's in english :D ). The license is no-commercial. Cheers! --Roberto Segnali all'Indiano 16:34, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Locobot changing sequence of references

Hi, I've reverted most of this bot change to George Metesky. When a statement requires multiple references, I think our readers will logically expect the most important reference, not the one with the least wikitext, to be first. Admittedly this is less convenient for us editors. Cheers, CliffC (talk) 15:50, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Wiki Fixes by Your bot

A few hours ago your bot put the Lifetime banner on Andy Kerr. Because it put no valid values for the various parameters the banner, among other lapses the template appears on the page and as there is a legitimate DEFAULTSORT value later on the page this appears in read on the page:

Warning: Default sort key "Kerr, Andy" overrides earlier default sort key "{{{4}}}"

I have removed the damage that your bot did because the error cause the page to appear in Category:Pages with DEFAULTSORT conflicts a category I monitor closely. I do not know the nature of the other damage your bot has caused so I could not repair it.

JimCubb (talk) 15:54, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Likewise Augusto Pinochet and Thelma Johnson Streat. How many others did the bot screw up but did not cause a DEFAULTSORT conflict?

JimCubb (talk) 16:04, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

I am not merely pleasantly surprised at your response, I am thrilled and astounded. I have yet to find and editor whose bot made errors who corrected those errors yet alone was willing to check for previous errors.

Thank you very much.

Breaks in lists

ICL 2900 Series‎ - why did you add the breaks? I mean, I see the endash and the defaultsort (I'm not convinced by the defaultsort, mind you), but what difference do the
tags make? Or were they added in error, given that it's a second bulleted list in the section?

--ClickRick (talk) 20:34, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Do you mean this change?, my bot took off the breaks because they're unnecessary and are part of the wikisintax errors found in the Wikipedia:WikiProject Check Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Locos epraix (talk • contribs) 21:24, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Yes, that's the change. "Unnecessary" I understand and agree with, but I don't understand what difference the tags actually make by being there, i.e. what problem they cause. Or is it just a case of tidying it up?

--ClickRick (talk) 21:34, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi, when you tag something with a speedy delete G6, please give the reason, as often it is not obvious that it is non-controversial, or what the reason to delete is.

Those

Hi do you think the other Mexican second division templates should also be deleted? See these templates most of them have mostly redlinks. Black'nRed 23:35, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Most of them seem deletable for me. But the problem is that there is no clear consensus about "x team current squad"-like templates. Searching in WP:FOOTBALL discussion archives I wasn't neither able to find a consensus. Perhaps only this. Should we start a general discussion there? Locos epraix ~ Beastepraix 00:04, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of subpages

A template doc page or similar subpage that has no parent template should be marked using {{db-subpage}} under criterion G8, not {{db-g6}}. Thanks. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 17:56, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

I use {{db-g6}} because some time ago another admin missed the redirect (from parent page to another template) and though the subpage did have parent page. Locos epraix ~ Beastepraix 19:00, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Citation/core/sandbox

I wanted to look into the HTML id problem, but discovered that Template:Citation/core/sandbox is in a weird state, with its history lost and it being tagged by you with {{db-g6}}. I assume it's not safe to edit now? When will it be safe? Eubulides (talk) 06:11, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

It looks like the history merge was not completely fulfilled. Anyway, you already started, luck. Locos epraix ~ Beastepraix 17:30, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

Switch vs if

Does this patch improve performance? If so, why is #if+#switch so much faster than #switch? Eubulides (talk) 17:07, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

I'm not completely sure about it. Before it checked |Ref= against a #switch (4 possible choices, something useless when Ref is empty). Now before the #switch it checks if |Ref= is empty or not, if not empty it compares |Ref= against a #switch (3 possible parameters). Not much difference, trivial I would say. Locos epraix ~ Beastepraix 19:44, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

The #switch is simpler and clearer (at least to me) than the cascading #if+#switch; OK if we stick with #switch alone? Eubulides (talk) 19:59, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

If you think it's better I have no problem if you use #switch alone. Locos epraix ~ Beastepraix 20:01, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

*Polite cough*

Hullo, why are you trying to have my sandboxes deleted?  Skomorokh  21:07, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Well, some of them haven't been edited since a looong time and they have template:XXX/Sandbox with the "S" uppercased instead of sandbox. If you still use them feel free to revert me. Locos epraix ~ Beastepraix 21:14, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for the reply; why would you think having an uppercased title or not having been edited are reasons for deletion?  Skomorokh  21:20, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

When I see a sandbox template with uppercase title I always try to translate it. Why? because the template doc display a link to sandbox (when not uppercased). Not been edited since a while also is a valid reason for deletion, numerous sandbox subtemplates clutter the template namespace. Locos epraix ~ Beastepraix 21:26, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Broken template? Sinclair (surname)

Hi, the article Sinclair (surname) is very badly broken in my browser. I thought it was the bot edit that broke it, so I reverted it. Apparently both templates concerning "Family name" (old and new) are broken though (I take there's a re-direct, but I don't know). It looks like the image_size parameter is not being honored any more (man, the image goes from 150px to now being wider than my screen, just huge). I just don't know how to fix it. I would prefer it if the bot held off until the templates are fixed though. —Aladdin Sane (talk) 19:43, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

About the Zamora (musician) AfD

A heads-up that Angelamuziotti (talk · contribs) moved the comment you made at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Zamora (musician). I moved it back once, and (s)he moved it again (diff). Your call on whether you want to move the placement or leave it be.

I know at the start of the AfD you mentioned some sockpuppetry concerns. Is it concrete enough that, if it affects the results of the AfD, it's worth filing a case at WP:SSP? Something doesn't feel write between Angelamuziotti and Katydelmar (talk · contribs), but I'm only going on a hunch and the way they sign their messages. —C.Fred (talk) 00:58, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

I restored my comment to its original position. It's pretty clear we have a sockpuppetry case here. It happened the last time this articled was AFD'ed and it's hapenning in spanish wikipedia (where I oppened a consulta de borrado). I'm sure that Katydelmar, Zfans, Alejandrozamora, Angelamuziotti, Bbgirl, Zhakira and Vmusic are all connected to A. Zamora and all of them were involved with this article. There was a SSP but no action was taken that time. Locos epraix ~ Beastepraix 01:33, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Angela moved it again. This is somewhat annoying. Locos epraix ~ Beastepraix 01:39, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

If she moves it again, I won't change it back; instead I'll put a comment on the page and file an WP:AN/I report for tampering. —C.Fred (talk) 01:47, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Well then, here we go. --Locos epraix ~ Beastepraix 02:03, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
