Hi - Can you add to the ruleset the following key words for article titles: USAT USAR USAHS (ship) MV MS M/V M/S and for article content: DANFS {{DANFS}} [[DANFS]] Hopefully that will pickup some articles that are slipping past the bot. At least I don't see those keywords in the current ruleset so assume that is the problem. Thanks --Brad (talk) 20:46, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sure; dunno how I missed some of those, especially USAT. I'll start working on it. By chance, can you give me any actual examples of articles that didn't get picked up? Might help me catch them while avoiding false positives. Thanks. Maralia (talk) 22:06, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This was your bot? I didn't know :) What brought this up was our friend Woodruff. If you look at his last 50 edits only one or two of his new articles show up on the new list. That's what led to me finding out how many articles he's been creating. There was also a few articles that had (ship) in the article title. --Brad (talk) 13:03, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't run the bot, but I wrote our ruleset for it. It's high time I revisited it, too, since I wrote it nearly six months ago and haven't tweaked it since. It definitely shouldn't be missing USN ships; I've got some debugging to do :) Maralia (talk) 15:12, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I guess we need a Woodruff ruleset then.. heh. I did notice that the more he wikified the article, the less they showed up on the list. I believe in late November 2007 the ruleset caught many of his articles but those were essentially plain old text dumps. --Brad (talk) 15:50, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've moved/copied this topic to the more appropriate Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ships/New articles page. --Brad (talk) 20:47, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
