| Hello everyone! I was just working on responding to a couple bug reports for a script that I worked up as part of a request from this project, and I noticed that only a couple people (who weren't even on this mailing list) are actually using the script. A little history on the script: In March of 2014, {{Noping|Jim Cartar}} came to my user talk page and said he ] in acquiring a script for a backlog drive that he was working on that could keep track of and score deOrphanings for a scored backlog drive. I took that request to the project's talk page (]) and there was near unanimous support for this. I thought about the proposal and decided the best way to do it was to build a new script (which is still no where near as comprehensive as {{Noping|Manishearth}}'s ]) and build into it a mechanism that will make BLD scoring easy. | |||
| == PUI == | |||
| What I'm wondering at this point is, since there appears to be only two people using the script, should I continue to develop this script with a goal of using it for scoring BLDs or just debug the existing script and leave it at that. Thanks for any replies or comments. | |||
| Hi. Someone has raised a question with ], which they've tagged as a "derivative work", presumably because of the Star Wars' costumes in the photo. It was tagged quite a while ago, but DumbBot has only recently started dropping it at WP:CP, and I transferred it (en masse) to WP:PUI for handling on December 14th (].) Typically, that board is overworked, and it doesn't look like these have been processed in any way. Images are not my area, but I'm trying to help handle some of these. I wanted to let you know about the matter so that you could weigh in there. --] <sup>]</sup> 12:37, 21 December 2008 (UTC) | |||

The only article where whether I was a major contributor or not is a bit debatable is ], which I used to call my "and a half" when I talked about RfAs. <!--Oh yeah, and check out Ben's cover of Complicated on hype machine. It's hilarious.--> ''']''' <sup>(])</sup> 02:56, 16 March 2009 (UTC) | |||
| ::Lol but why would you take credit? I've never really understood the whole culture of detailing every little thing someone has done to help wikipedia. When you write a page, and I mean actually write the majority of content of a page, then sure you deserve the credit for it since it is far more difficult to write an article, which involves searching for reliable sources, interpreting them correctly and writing something out of nothing, than it is to move a few words around for better flow. Copy-editing is a vital part of ''improving'' an article and it's something I'm a bit rubbish at thus I fully appreciate someone else's input, but I seriously don't believe it makes a person a major contributor. But then perhaps I'm a hypocrite since I keep a sub-page that documents articles I've written...although I'm pretty sure I've said countless times in the edit summaries that I add stuff there to remind me to work on it again. Memory like a sieve :). <!-- I've heard it...not quite as funny as Alanis Morrisette's rendition of Fergie's "My Humps". --> ]] 06:34, 16 March 2009 (UTC) | |||
| :::The reason I wouldn't take credit is that that was ''your'' first featured article. It'd be rude of me to claim credit on it. And yeah, I don't see copyediting as what makes a major contributor, but then again, I hardly ever copyedit articles I didn't write. And why are you online at 6:34am on a Monday morning? Stamina like a panther you have. <!--Do panthers have stamina? I hope so. Oh, and I see Alanis' cover of My Humps and raise you Avril's cover of Chop Suey. In the "so bad it's hilarious" category.

deOrphaning script
Hello everyone! I was just working on responding to a couple bug reports for a script that I worked up as part of a request from this project, and I noticed that only a couple people (who weren't even on this mailing list) are actually using the script. A little history on the script: In March of 2014, Jim Cartar came to my user talk page and said he needed some help in acquiring a script for a backlog drive that he was working on that could keep track of and score deOrphanings for a scored backlog drive. I took that request to the project's talk page (BackLog Drive "DO" (De-Orphaning) script proposal) and there was near unanimous support for this. I thought about the proposal and decided the best way to do it was to build a new script (which is still no where near as comprehensive as Manishearth's OrphanTabs) and build into it a mechanism that will make BLD scoring easy.
What I'm wondering at this point is, since there appears to be only two people using the script, should I continue to develop this script with a goal of using it for scoring BLDs or just debug the existing script and leave it at that. Thanks for any replies or comments.
