Category:Undated AfC submissions warning from EarwigBot I, Task 2

The Earwig, Category:Undated AfC submissions is not empty, and contains submissions! In order to clean it up, per the task I was approved for, I strongly consider running EarwigBot I, Task 4 using this local command: file:///Users/ben/Desktop/Benjamin/Wikipedia/Bots/EarwigBot_I/Task_4/Launch.app. Thanks, EarwigBot I 22:52, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

 Done. It wasn't a submission needing attention, but rather a user that did not know how to close submissions properly. The Earwig 01:10, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

WPOOK's advert banner is done!

Is it perfect? Can it be improved?

Penubag loves feedback. Please let him know if it can be further improved.

Thank you.

Accidentally deleted cats

I'm going through and restoring most of them now and noticed you'd recreated many. Sorry to cause you so much work recreating categories. :/ لennavecia 07:21, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Outline collaboration #2: Outline of Gibraltar

This outline is approaching completion.

I added a bunch more links, finding them with the following Google site-specific searches of Misplaced Pages:

• "of" and "Gibraltar"

• "in" and "Gibraltar"

• "for" and "Gibraltar"

• with "Gibraltar" not at the end

(You can use the wikicode for the links above as the basis for new searches - just replace "Gibraltar" with any other country or region name).

Request: please redirect the redlinks! (bluelinking...)

The redlinks need to be bluelinked where possible. The most useful way is to create redirects leading to the material (which is usually included in a section of an article - see Misplaced Pages:Redirect#Redirects to page sections. That way, when the redirect pages are replaced by the actual articles, the links will already point to the right places.

Please take a crack at it, and bluelink a few.

Thank you.

Good luck.

Have fun.

Categorized submissions

Hey, I'm sure you noticed that many users pre-emptively categorize their submissions, or give them stub or other templates that auto-categorize the page. Jitse's bot used to remove the cats and neuter the templates that caused them under the old AFC system. I was wondering if you could set one of your bots (or create a new one) to do the same thing to declined submissions? I noticed you've been running a few AFC bots, so I assumed the request wouldn't bother you. Thanks. Someguy1221 (talk) 05:23, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

This should be a pretty simple bot, and I'd be happy to do it. I'll get back to you when I have time. Regards, The Earwig (Talk | Editor review) 10:50, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Yes, would be very helpful. An extra colon neutralises the categories and interwikis, and a {{tl}} to kill any templates. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 11:51, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

I'll begin working on this as soon as EarwigBot III is online. However, before starting this, I'd like to know if I should combine this with the potential bot task I suggested at WP:AN#Category:Declined AfC submissions needs clearing. There does not yet appear to be any consensus on whether to nuke the submissions as Nakon (talk · contribs) suggested, keep them all, or keep them for a certain time period, as I suggested. If we reach a decision to operate a bot to delete old (really old) submissions, then both tasks could be combined into the AfC Declined EarwigBot, in theory. But if we obtain consensus to keep the old submissions, then I might as well just run this as a task of EarwigBot I. The Earwig (Talk | Editor review) 00:57, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

I think we need to discuss that on the project page. But anyway I don't think they would combine because the category and template-nuking can be done within a day of being declined. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:41, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Hey, it would be fantastic if we could date all the accepted submissions as well. A small change to your task 2 program should achieve that I think. What do you think? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 18:43, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

RE: Multilinear Transformation rejected

Jenme (talk) 22:20, 25 June 2009

I there, I created the Multilinear Transformation article that you rejected. You suggested merging or adding to "Multilinear Map" which is a altogether different concept. It is a way to describe a tensor analagous to describing a covector as a linear functional (basically in english: describing a geometric object as a function).

So i hope you would be kind enough to start this article due to its foundational role in tensor algebra. Also it goes hand in hand with another article for creation: "Multiarray"

Cheers,

Jennifer

Hi, Jennifer. Due to the volume of articles that I look at, I'm not quite sure which specific page you are referring to. Would it be possible to point me to the location of the article on Misplaced Pages? I did a search for Multilinear Transformation, and also looked through your contributions, but I could not find anything. If possible, please tell me what the title of the article was (that is, what it says exactly on the top of the page). If this is not possible, I will continue to look. However, if I am unable to find the article, I will probably be unable to restore it. I know that this question sounds stupid, but I really am unsure of what you are talking about. Sorry for the trouble, The Earwig (Talk | Contribs) 02:49, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi there, the article URLs are http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Multilinear_transformation and http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Multiarray

Thanks

Jenme

I have looked over the pages you mentioned, and here is my interpretation of the results. It seems to me that the reasons Misplaced Pages talk:Articles for creation/Multilinear transformation was declined are sound. I notice how you compare a multilinear transformation to a linear transformation. This leads me to wonder why, when a linear transformation and a linear map are the same thing, a multilinear transformation and a multilinear map are not. I am no expert on the subject, but I would still advise you to combine your existing knowledge about a multilinear transformation into the multilinear map article. Upon further investigation, I am almost certain that a multilinear transformation and a multilinear map are the same thing, due to their astounding similarities (e.g., n-linear map and n-linear transformation). I fear that the definition you provided on the multilinear transformation page does not belong in its own article, but both articles can instead be merged together. I'm really sorry, I am hardly an expert on this subject, so it is hard to judge the article's suitability, but this is the only thing that I can suggest you do. As for Misplaced Pages talk:Articles for creation/Multiarray, I have put that on hold pending a solution to the problems raised at Misplaced Pages talk:Articles for creation/k-array. Both submissions are extremely similar, and I would like to see the problem involving whether the submission is a neologism addressed. Feel free to improve the submission to address how it is not a neologism, and then it can probably be accepted. I have done the best I can, but due to my lack of expertise in this subject, I would advise you to consult WT:WikiProject Mathematics for more help, as they are more likely to know about the subject at hand.

Clarification regarding disturbance of an article.

Dear Sir

On 29 June 2009 at about 8:30 p.m.(I.S.T) I received a message from you stating that someone from my I.P. address had disturbed an article(Template:Banking in India).I write this message to assure you I am a responsible netizen and a frequent user of wikipedia and have not done this unhelpful act.As advised by you I have created an account on wikipedia.I would be greatful if you could throw some light on why this happened,is my computer hacked?Though I am not very qualified so as edit a great site like wikipedia but I'll be really happy if you could enlighten me about the features of wikipedia. Meghashish Sharma 17:17, 29 June 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Meghashish (talk • contribs)

Hi, Meghashish, and Welcome to Misplaced Pages! (You may find that link helpful if you have not browsed there already.) The problem you are telling me about is relatively common, and I have certainly seen it before. No, your computer has not been hacked, so there is no need to worry about your internet security. The reason this happened is rather complex, but I'll try to explain it as best as I can. When you don't have an account, your contributions are linked to your IP address (click on that link to read more). An IP address is basically the internet equivalent of your real address (even though they don't actually have to be connected), and the same IP address may belong to different users at different periods of time. Sometimes, a user (without an account) will vandalize Misplaced Pages, and they will receive a warning similar to the one you got. However, if that user's IP address is used by multiple people (as I mentioned above, it can happen), not only will they receive the warning, but you will as well. So there is nothing to worry about, you are not in any trouble, and now that you have an account, it will not happen again. I hope that helps!

Finally, it is a shame to hear a Wikipedian tell me that they are not "qualified" to edit. Everyone who edits Misplaced Pages is a volunteer, so even if you're not an expert in the subjects you are interested in, I'm sure you'll enjoy your stay here. If you have trouble writing, you can put your skills to work somewhere else on this site, such as maintenance, or the Counter-Vandalism Unit. If you have any more questions, feel free to type {{Helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question below it, or simply ask me here. I love to help newcomers, and I'm sorry if this answer was rather long, but I couldn't help it. Thanks, and have fun! The Earwig (Talk | Contribs) 17:41, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

WikiProject banner

I appreciate your work in adding articles to the presidential elections project. You should take note of a formatting issue, though. When you add the WikiProject banner and it falls immediately before the first heading on the talk page, you must insert a line break. Otherwise the heading doesn't display properly. See this edit for an example of the cleanup needed. JamesMLane t c 07:40, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for telling me about this. That issue did not come up during the trial run, so the number of errors made by the bot is probably low. I'll investigate further, and see if I can fix the errors. Thanks, The Earwig (Talk | Contribs) 16:43, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

about an article i submitted

hey, i was in the process of trying to create an Misplaced Pages article for my artist name "DJ Petrah" and it says im running into copyright issues? How could i be if the information is mine, or what i initially wrote on my artist profile? Just a question. Let me know whats going on please. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Darksideoftheboom813 (talk • contribs) 15:08, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Well, I guess my bot is a little picky. It noticed the line "Petrah has made it a point to stay an Underground Artist, as he feels many Music Artists today are out of touch with what creating music is really about" in your article submission, and saw that the line was also in your MySpace profile. Whenever you post content to MySpace, it automatically becomes copyrighted, so if someone were to take that exact sentence and put it on Misplaced Pages, they would be violating copyright laws. However, because the copied sentence is so small, and also because you wrote it, there is no copyright violation involved. I've removed the warning, and everything should be fine now. Regards, The Earwig (Talk | Contribs) 15:20, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

George Mandler

This is not a copyright violation - you cannot copyright names, titles, positions etc - and that was all that was listed in the presumed vioilation. There just is no major variation possible in listing such things., Thanks for listening. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.110.22.20 (talk) 09:21, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Yes, you're correct. Sorry about that mistake, but my bot occasionally makes errors like that. I've removed the warning. The Earwig (Talk | Contribs) 14:42, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Things

Sorry to disturb your dramaout. I notice you have been creating lots of articles about your favorite animal. Thanks for running the bot through Category:Undated AfC submissions. I notice there are a few left - what's the story with them? You may have noticed that I created a template (Template:AfC date category) to put the pages in the correct category - monthly before September 2008 and daily afterwards. By the way I see you have been here for more than a year now; congratulations. Are you thinking about reuqesting the mop anytime soon? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 20:44, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

The pages remaining at Category:Undated AfC submissions are due the bot's inability to process pages with strange characters in them (å, é, á, ü, et cetera). I guess those will have to be done manually; about 3.7% of the original are still unfinished. And thanks for putting the timestamping feature to good use! It also might be fun to do something with the |reviewer= parameter, which has been filled out by the bot as well, but isn't used by {{WPAFC}}. Maybe a bunch of hidden cats, like Category:AfC submissions by reviewer/MSGJ?

Yes, I've been thinking about adminship for a while. The things that keep me from taking the plunge are mainly related to what I see here. Only 36% of my contributions are to the mainspace (24% are to my userspace), and I've only been active, if you consider the periods when I've made a lot of edits, for about five months. Furthermore, I don't have anything impressive to say about myself in the conflict resolution department, which is an area that seems awfully important for an admin.

But I digress. I've always had trouble evaluating myself. For example, I wrote a long statement for this because I thought that I would get a bunch of complaints about the task, and I hardly believed that this or this would pass. Maybe it would be better if I simply took a chance and went for it. I don't know; what do you think? The Earwig (Talk | Contribs) 21:36, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

36% in mainspace is fine (I think mine was only 25%), but yeah, 24% in your own userspace is pretty high! I take your point about only editing actively for 5 months - I'd assumed you'd been fairly active for a year now. You've made quite an impact in the time that you have been here and I think you probably would be successful. However unless you're in a real hurry then I might suggest waiting a little while as it is preferable and less stressful to pass easily (or even unaminously)! I followed your suggestion and created Category:AfC submissions by reviewer/MSGJ and it seems to work well. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:43, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Sounds appropriate. I'll wait a month or so and then give it a shot. Thanks! The Earwig (Talk | Contribs) 14:46, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Haha, now I see your strategy to reduce the 24%! Good luck with it. I'm going to email you about the adminship stuff. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 14:57, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Naming guidelines for Australian cities and towns

Hi, just a short note to let you know that I moved back Willow Tree to Willow Tree, New South Wales. This is in line with Misplaced Pages:Naming conventions (geographic names)#Australia. I agree that this is silly but it appears that that is the way that most here want it to remain. I think there was a rationale for this convention in the deep, dark past but I suspect it survives now merely because "It's always been like that." I raised it for discussion about 18 months or so ago but it is safe to say, "there was no consensus for the change" so the status quo was retained. Cheers, Mattinbgn\ 21:21, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

I guess I just assumed that Australia's naming guidelines were the same as the rest of the world's, but it seems that a good portion of the countries have their own systems. I've seen situations like Denver and Philadelphia, so the move seemed to make sense. Thanks for clarifying. The Earwig (Talk | Contribs) 21:58, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

I'm curious about your reasoning

Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/CanItBe was created by a troll named CanItBeMe (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) and serves no purpose beyond general disruption and attacking me. One of the admins that was dealing with the problem speedy'd the page. You removed that tag several minutes later. I think supporting this sort of disruptive behavior shows either a rush to judgment without gathering facts or poor judgment if you did gather the facts, but it It could also be a simple mistake or reasonable based on some facts I do not know. Could you either correct your mistake or explain your reasoning? Thanks, Celestra (talk) 05:42, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Yes, it's a mistake on my part for not fixing the template; it seems I only removed it when I intended to replace it with another one. The reason I did this was because, even though it was created by a troll, the page is not patent nonsense, and it concerns me to see situations where pages are deleted under the wrong criteria. However, it is most definitely speediable under G3/G10, so I've re-added the template. My apologies for not doing so earlier. Thanks, The Earwig (Talk | Contribs) 13:49, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. I understand your actions now and withdraw my comment. Celestra (talk) 14:02, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

DYK for Ringlegged earwig

On July 24, 2009, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Ringlegged earwig, which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits your article got while on the front page (here's how) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Actually, in retrospect, I'm going to decline this. Nothing personal, it's just that I'm not sure I'm really ready to give adminship a shot, and I'd prefer to wait a bit longer. (Half a year, perhaps?) If it's not too much trouble, I'm going to G7 the nomination, so that I have a clean page to work on when I do decide to run. Hopefully, the end of the year, or perhaps a little later, would be a good date to aim for. And Impala: one quick note. It's generally more courteous to wait for someone to accept their nomination before creating the page, in case they decline (like I just did).
