TedderBot annotations

I remember inquiring a while back about whether or not the bot could leave the front or back of each line alone so that I could mark items as unrelated. I think another user was marking items checked as well. Just wondering if that was coming along or stalled. Thanks!--Dudemanfellabra (talk) 19:35, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

Keeping this active. Yeah, I've made some progress towards enabling this, but it isn't ready. Remind me if you haven't heard back by October. tedder (talk) 02:48, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Comment to keep section from being archived: tedder (talk) 02:48, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

Just a quick reminder. I haven't been adding the annotations to the NRHP list until this is added. There are a few on there that I would like to be able to tag, but I understand the complexity of it. Just checking! Keep up the good work!--Dudemanfellabra (talk) 18:32, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

About AlexNewArtBot/FinlandSearchResult

Checked the rules and one correction: It's spelled Mikael Agricola, not Agrikola. Just check from fi-wikipedia article about him for confirmation.BrDead (talk) 23:53, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

Feel free to modify it yourself in the future, but I changed it so it takes Agricola and Agrikola. That way if anyone uses the 'k' it'll still match. tedder (talk) 01:07, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Sunset Strip Diaries

Hi, Tedder. Saw you reverted the addition of this book to The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years. I went through the IPs contributions and pulled it out of several others. You might like to have a look at the note I left on the IP's talk. (permalink) Thanks for your work. Cheers,  – OhioStandard (talk) 14:21, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I saw the note you left, that's why I didn't leave an "advert" template. Thanks for the note, minding Valfontis' Law. Guess I'll have to keep watching those articles. tedder (talk) 14:27, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Sure; thanks for the link to Valfontis' law. I tend to go overboard in not biting newcomers, I know, even when they seem to be troublemakers. In fact, I tend towards inviting them to come over and stay in my guest house, and sure, they can bring their girlfriend and two dogs and their drum set. You get the picture. I need to stop doing that.  – OhioStandard (talk) 14:46, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Codependency much? Yeah, I cringe when people don't communicate with newbies. tedder (talk) 14:50, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Well, yes, re codependency. But it could be, too, that I only edit while on Ecstasy, and it makes me really, really empathetic. ;-) But back to work now, yes? Best,  – OhioStandard (talk) 14:56, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Ohio, can I come visit? I only have a boyfriend, one cat and no drums. Valfontis (talk) 19:21, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Just say no to drums? War on drums? tedder (talk) 19:26, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Sure, Val, and very glad to have you! I should probably tell you that it'll be pretty cosy, though: There was an a really bad overturn accident on the highway near my place, and I've let twelve of the victims put up out back. But I'm sure you and the boyfriend and cat won't mind sharing?  – OhioStandard (talk) 09:48, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

Tedderbot, NewArtBot, What Links Here

Multiple questions:

• User:AlexNewArtBot/TexasSearchResult brings up recent new pages on the Texas project. Is there a search equivalent for WP Women's History? If so, could you provide me with a link to the page?
• Prior to recent implementation of 1.20wmf1, Tedder Bot or AlexNewArtBot search results relevant to any given article showed up under "What Links Here". Permanently, I thought, because I could go there and check any page. As of today, I find "What Links Here" cleared on all those old search results. It makes for a cleaner list for "What Links Here", but it also erased the history of those searches on a given article. Was this intended? I kind of liked the search evidence there. On every article I've created PRIOR to the implementation, it's gone. On the two articles I created since the implentation, those search results are there. Maile66 (talk) 22:36, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

(1) Doesn't look like there's anything for Women's History. I'd be happy to help you set one up if you have an idea of what the search terms should be.

I think the search terms should be decided by that Project. I'm going to post over on that talk page and have them get in touch with you. Can you leave this here for a week or so, giving someone time to respond?

(2) The "WLH" doesn't work because the archives aren't working. I think. If not, can you give me some examples? For instance, the top Texas result (right now) is Samsung Galaxy SL I9003, and it certainly shows up on WLH. tedder (talk) 22:47, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

It's the archives, I'm pretty sure.Maile66 (talk) 23:01, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Well, it's probably just you and me, Kid

I have the feeling it's going to be just you and me setting up this bot. I've tried to contact individuals and have not gotten desired results. Since, I know nothing about what search terms would work, you need to help me come up with something. This is what I know about the project:

• Women's history
• Individual biographies
• Organizations
• Movements and issues
• Fictional characters can be included
• Works of art that deal with women
• Literature that is focused on women

On their main page, they have a lot of "could be, but not necessarily..." things. The editor who set up the main page has not been active for about a year.

So, let's see what we can come up with. It can be changed if there are complaints.Maile66 (talk) 13:29, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Have you thought about connecting with the Gendergap list (linked on page)? Someone there might be interested in helping out. Valfontis (talk) 19:26, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I'll need help. I can't come up with the "search keywords". I can help get them coded into a searchlist though. tedder (talk) 19:27, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Thank you. I just joined Gendergap and have sent an email for assistance. Let's see what happens.Maile66 (talk) 21:13, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Got some advice on the terms

Please look at Viriditas under Proposed Terms. Will that work for you? And can you create the rules for this bot? As for the stub template, I have already created that. And there was already an existing category for Stub Class Women's History articles. Please advise what I need to do next. Maile66 (talk) 12:06, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

1992 Riots

Tedder,

The problem was the sudden mention of random, unknown sources of information. The article mentions Park and Rhyu and Hwang and Rhee as if they had been referenced earlier, or as if we should know who they are and thus should place importance on their statements.

In this situation, there was a need to fill in some aspect of who the heck these people were - or we could have just said "Mr. Smith said this, Mrs. Smith said that, and Tedder & JMG38 said something else". I'm sure that Mr. Smith, Mrs. Smith, Tedder & JMG38 are nice people - but why are they quoted in the article?!

In the case of Professor Park, the fact that he is head of Asian Studies adds further value to his comments - he's not a Professor of mathematics. I would like to put that part of the reference back in - but I'd like to hear your comments first. I'll look back here on your page for your thoughts.

Thanks.

Jmg38 (talk) 02:00, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi Jmg38, contextualizing it is important, and I appreciate that you've labeled students and such. I'm worried about putting in a resume there, but you make a good point- it's relevant to his scholarship. Go ahead and re-add it. tedder (talk) 02:14, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

I'll go in and do it now. Thanks for the discussion - now go outside and enjoy a nice spring evening!! Jmg38 (talk) 02:18, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Hells Angels article split

• Hells Angels MC criminal allegations and incidents

Are you planning on revamping the content drastically? Otherwise it looks like a content fork. tedder (talk) 20:23, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

As per the NYPD pages ... to develop, or allow to develop, both separately.

Obviously I don't refute any of the above pages but I do think the quantity of crime related reporting was imbalanced in comparison to the cultural and historical aspects of the topic. It needs a serious looking at as it is a mish-mash of tenses, e.g. reports of allegations and 'future' undecided court case which have now passed but not been updated, but I have not got the time to do so today.

I don't know the Misplaced Pages as well as you but if there is not a policy which says, WP:NOT_A_TABLOID_PAPER, then I think we need one. It strikes me that a lot of the reporting in the area is sensationalistic and unnecessarily detailed. Splitting the topic allows those who do wish to continue reporting on the crime angles, or angels, to do so. --Bridge Boy (talk) 20:31, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

BTW, I was once pulled up for putting in two categories, one of which was a sub category of the other, e.g. Motorcycle clubs and Outlaw Motorcycle Clubs.

Why on earth do we need every State listed when we can just have "Gangs in the United States"? It looks a bit superfluous and NPOV to me. --Bridge Boy (talk) 20:34, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

You removed this from your page, go ahead and reply at the talk page of the article. I agree, pulling it up to "gangs in the US" is great, your edit didn't imply you were doing that. Edit summaries help with intent. tedder (talk) 20:36, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
