Dodobot

Hello EdoDodo,

Just thought I'd give you a heads up that there are some dodobot requests - the one before mine looks to have been there for a month. Only just noticed.

Any chance you drop in there and comment. Cheers EdwardLane (talk) 07:45, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

Bot requests

Hi. Can your bot handle a list of 4,000 messages? Does it remove duplicate addresses? And are there currently any delays for bot runs? Thanks. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 03:38, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

I will be filing a bot request for a message within the hour. tI's an important message from the WMF, and your prompt attention to it would be much appreciated. I have also notified Nascar. Thanks. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 03:04, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

I was supplied the wrong information by the WMF and I believe the bot has been stopped. The message has been reverted and will now be sent by AWB. Sorry for the confusion. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 13:57, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

MessageDeliveryBot

The "request a message delivery" link at the bottom seems to be a bit vague, not just in the text that it shows for the link, but for the request page itself. Is it to request that it delivers messages to you, or is it for having it deliver a actual message to someone of your choosing? LikeLakers2 (talk | Sign my guestbook!) 01:14, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

  • re: MDB, but unrelated to the above: for some reason it is sending duplicate messages. Not sure if I pasted the delivery list twice? Or maybe double-submitted it? It would be nice if we could still view the submitted requests even after they have begun processing. –xenotalk 13:14, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
    • It's done it again. I wonder if this is an issue where the API is timing out and the bot is double-submitting it. You could include a hidden comment with the delivery ID and tell the bot to check for the existence of the hidden comment on the user talk page to prevent adding the message a second time. –xenotalk 12:45, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
Not sure if edododo is still active, not seem any contributions for a while, I was hoiping for dodobot to kick in some long while back.EdwardLane (talk) 14:29, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
He is intermittently active =) I've sent him an email pointing him here - hopefully we can distract him from all that pesky 'real life' stuff. –xenotalk 14:34, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
Taking a look at this now. - EdoDodo talk 16:26, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

← You may have to test with a bigger distro list, it doesn't seem to double-message the first recipient. –xenotalk 16:44, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Should be fixed. Judging by the logs, it looks like the problem was that the bot somehow ran two instances at the same. I'm not sure how that happened, but a possibility is that there were two runs waiting to happen, and they both executed at the same time because that was when the Toolserver became idle (the bot runs through the job server, so when you press to make it run, it puts the run on a waiting list and waits for the server to go idle before executing).
In any case, the bot ran two separate instance, both of which picked up the job (there's a small delay between when the bot picks up jobs and when it marks them as running, so if two instances are allowed to start simultaneously, they will both pick up the jobs), resulting in the duplicate messages. To counter this I've made the bot acquire an exclusive lock of a file before it is allowed to run. In theory, it should be impossible for two instances to get an exclusive lock of the same file, so one of the two will fail to get the lock, and shutdown automatically.
This should fix the problem without the need for a hidden comment, but if the problem pops up again, let me know, and I'll do as you suggested. - EdoDodo talk 17:20, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
Will do. Won't be running it again until the end of the month =) –xenotalk 17:22, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

(edit conflict)Also, to Edward Lane and the others on the waiting list for DodoBot, apologies for not running any DodoBot requests lately - I've been very busy in real life. I'll hopefully have time to run those next week (probably in the weekend). - EdoDodo talk 17:24, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

That's all cool - just glad you're still about once in a while :) EdwardLane (talk) 14:09, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Chicago tagging run

Can you make another WP:CHICAGO tagging run.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 06:42, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

MDB and protected targets

How does the bot handle fully-protected talk pages? I believe in the most recent delivery there was one such page but the bot did not give any kind of error message. –xenotalk 13:36, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

Tagging for WPUS

Greetings, I just wanted to let you know that I haven't heard anything bad about the bot or any problems and I wanted to make sure you werent waiting on something for me. I've been so busy lately I wanted to make sure I didn't forget to do something. A couple things that might help, but not sure.

  1. I created a catgory and linked it to all the supported projects WikiProject banners for deprecated parameters. The category can be found here Category:United States articles with deprecated tags
  2. It appears the bot missed some articles for New Mexico
  3. I noticed that in some cases when the bot converted the banners for articles on non article content like categories and templates it left the importance as a blank. Could it put NA instead of blank?
  4. If the importance for a supported project importance is low (ie |NM-importance= and its missing for the main tempalte importance (|importance=) could the bot add low to the main template importance? In almost every case if the article is low importance to the supported project itll be low for the main project too.
  5. I added another project of MexicanAmericans to the list of supported projects. The discussion can be found here.
  6. The discussion to do a run to automatically assess some of the articles should be good to go. It can be found Wikipedia talk:WikiProject United States#Bot run to auto assess some of the Unassessed articles. There haven't been any comments outside you, me and Xeno so we should be good to go on that task.
  7. I will start the discussion we talked about regarding the tagging of additional articles not yet tagged for the projects.
  8. I also wanted to give you a heads up that I have been talking to several more projects about being added to the supported list and will contacting some more soon. Unfortunately there are so many projects (over 200 relating to United States topics but don't worry not many left I don't think) its taking a while.

Thanks again for all the help. --Kumioko (talk) 14:45, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

Nope, nothing missing on your behalf. I've just been quite busy in real life, so forgot about the tasks. Anyway, I'll answer each of the points in order:
  1. Alright, I'll use that as a basis for the bot runs in future, so it should be able to track down and replace any uses left of deprecated templates.
  2. It did indeed. I checked the configuration, and although I'd instructed the bot to replace New Mexico banners if it came across them, I'd forgot to have it load all the articles tagged with New Mexico, so it didn't find all of them. Thanks for pointing it out.
  3. This one puzzles me a bit, since I thought it was already doing that. Could you link me an example edit?
  4. Sure, sounds like a good idea. By the way, it seems appropriate to have the bot set |autoi=yes in this case, you fine with that?
  5. Okay, the next time the bot runs I'll have it replace that template as well.
  6. Definitely. I was already having the bot auto-assess articles that it was replacing tags on, but next run I'll have it auto-assess all unassessed articles as well.
  7. Okay.
  8. Alright, sounds good.
I think I've answered everything, and will start preparing the bot for the next run (particularly point 4, which requires a bit more code). Should have it run early next week. Let me know if I missed anything or if you have any questions or concerns. - EdoDodo talk 14:57, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
I think it should be safe to start tagging the articles again unless you want to wait a little longer. Here are a couple notes to help:
  • We added another project for Myrtle Beach
  • We added one for Mexican Americans (not sure if I mentioned this one to you yet).
  • We currently have discussions open with about 10 more projects including Washington (and its 2 subprojects), WikiProject Omaha, etc. I will leave you a note as these get added.
  • I finally started the discussion about tagging the additional articles (sorry it took so long). I started with the United States project. I am currently working on the state projects but I also have some options for tagging additional articles for some of the others as well (Mexican/Asian/Franco-Americans, American television, American music) whenever you are ready. I think we should give it a couple days for discussions but I don't think there will be any problems or opposition.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Also, please feel free to tell me if I am wearing you out, I have no shortage of things I want to do for the project so I tend to get a little asky and I don't want to wear you out or consume all your time. --Kumioko (talk) 18:10, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
Alright, I'll get started tomorrow. Just one thing, though - could you give me a link for issue number three? I haven't been able to find the problem. - EdoDodo talk 19:20, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
Great thanks, off hand I dont have a good example of 3 but if I find one Ill drop it here. --Kumioko (talk) 19:53, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

Bot is replacing WikiProject Mexican-Americans tags now. I'll do the rest of the tasks (tags I previously missed, and auto assess) after this is done. - EdoDodo talk 14:53, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

Greetings, I just wanted to drop by and say thanks for continuing to help with this. Here are a few updates that might be helpful.
  1. I added the |autoi= to all projects so we should be good on this.
  2. We added KYOVA Region to the list of supported projects. The flag for this one is KYOVA.
  3. We added Myrtle Beach to the list of supported projects. The Flag for this is SCMB.
  4. Knowone has commented against letting the bot autoassess the articles so I would say that run is good to go.
  5. Knowone has commented against additional tagging either so that should also be ok.
  6. We are in the process of adding several more projects to the list. I added WikiProject Washington and its 2 subprojects (WikiProject Seattle and Eastern Washington task force) yesterday so that should be implemented in the next week or so. This one might be a littl trickier because its the first time we pulled in a project that already had task forces associated to it. If this is a problem let me know and I'll work around it.
We will likely be adding some more projects soon so I will continue to update you as new projects get added but please let me know if you have any questions or comments. --Kumioko (talk) 19:12, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
  1. I also added WikiProject Mississippi. --Kumioko (talk) 03:10, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
Alright, getting started on tasks now. - EdoDodo talk 12:16, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
Awesome thanks, --Kumioko (talk) 14:32, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

I also just added another three WikiProject Washington, Wikipedia:WikiProject Seattle and the Wikipedia:WikiProject Washington/Eastern Washington task force. --Kumioko (talk) 14:32, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

Okay. I'll replace those in the next run. - EdoDodo talk 22:42, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
Great thanks. Here are the codes. Wasington = WA, Seattle is Seattle and Easter Washington is EastWa. Please let me know if you have any questions. --Kumioko (talk) 01:03, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
Hang on, so Seattle and East Washington are both taskforces of WikiProject Washington, not projects with separate banners, right? If it is like that, I'll have to add a bit of code to account for that, so it will have to wait until next week. - EdoDodo talk 13:00, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
Im sorry I didn't mention that. Yes you are correct. Thats fine if it needs to wait. No problem and no rush. BTW this is also going to be the case of some others coming up. Ohio has a couple and so do a couple of other states. --Kumioko (talk) 13:10, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
Alright, no problem. I don't have time at the moment, but when I get round to writing the code, I'll make sure it's re-usable for future projects. - EdoDodo talk 13:14, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
Great thanks and sorry I didn't think to mention that. --Kumioko (talk) 13:21, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

Greetings Edo. Here is the next group of projects that will be added to the WikiProject United States template in the next day or so. The = X designates what the project parameter flag is.

  • Added Indiana = IN
  • Added Indianapolis = Indianapolis
  • Added Omaha = Omaha
  • Added Ohio =OH
  • Added Ohio - Townships task force =OHtownships
  • Added Ohio - Youngstown = Youngstown
  • Added West Virginia University = WVU
  • Added Yellowstone task force =YNP
  • Added New Hampshire =NH
  • Added New Hampshire Mountains = NHMTN

Just as in the case of Washington and teh Seattle and Eastern Washington task forces the Yellowstone task force goes with Wyoming and the Ohio townships task force goes with Ohio. If these are going to be a bigger problem though feel free to do the others first and come back to these when you have the time. There will probably be one more group after this one and that will be it. By the end of the month we will have identified all projects that want to be supported so anything after that will be 1 or 2 here and there. Please let me know if you haveany questions. --Kumioko (talk) 17:23, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Would you mind waiting till the end of the month when all the projects have been added, and then do them all in one big batch? I'm insanely busy in real life at the moment, since school has just started again and I have a very heavy course load for this year. If you really need it done soon though, it's not a problem - I can probably do it later this week. - EdoDodo talk 17:31, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
No problem at all. There not hurting anything where there at. I may chip away at it a little though. Way too many to do manually or with AWB though. I will continue to update the list as new ones are added and let you know when we wrap up. --Kumioko (talk) 17:41, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
Alright, thank you. Don't worry about doing any manually - once the bot is started it makes very little difference how many articles it has to process, the bulk of the work is coding and setting it up. - EdoDodo talk 17:57, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Greetings, I am almost done with the gathering of US related projects and will have the final list in the next couple days. Its pretty large though just to warn you. I will separate the ones that are easy to process from the harder ones. --Kumioko (talk) 19:31, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Importance of various map articles

I'm a bit surprised that the bot (Dodobot) has tagged Tithe maps as low importance and Estate maps as high importance. I would not have expected such a large disparity between the two. Presumably there is some rule, but I'm not sure what it is. Rjm at sleepers (talk) 08:20, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

Hello! The bot chooses the importance based on the rules at Wikipedia:WikiProject Maps/Categories (if an article is in several of those categories, it picks the highest importance one). Since Tithe maps was in Category:Maps it got a low importance rating. Estate map, however, was in the more important category Category:Map types, and was therefore given a high-importance rating. Even though I have very little knowledge of maps, I think that Tithe maps should also have been in Category:Map types, and should therefore have been given a high-importance rating as well.
You are, of course, more than welcome to edit the bot's importance rating. - EdoDodo talk 08:26, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
Thanks, that clarifies things. I will add Tithe maps to the category map types. Rjm at sleepers (talk) 08:04, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
Alright. - EdoDodo talk 15:19, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

improper tag

Easily removed but your bot tagged Talk:2011 Sony Ericsson Open – Men's Singles with WP:WMNSPORT.... definitely NOT an article about women. :-) Fyunck(click) (talk) 19:08, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Alright, apologies for the bot's mistake. I've tried to figure out why it got to that page, since it isn't in any of the categories the bot was tagging. I suspect it must have followed a redirect which brought it to that page, but can't confirm that since logs of the runs aren't kept. I really hope this was an isolated incident... I'll investigate some more later today to make sure there isn't a whole category that's been incorrectly tagged. - EdoDodo talk 04:29, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

Help with tagging for WikiProject United States

Hey there sorry its been so long. Are you still available to help tag some pages with your bot. I noticed you hadn't been online much and wanted to make sure first before dropping a big list one here. --Kumioko (talk) 00:59, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Hey. I'm starting to work through the backlog of waiting requests now. Feel free to leave the list here, but it might be a bit before I get to it, since there's so many other requests waiting. - EdoDodo talk 11:49, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

Here is the start of the list. I'm not sure if you remember how we were doing it before but if not let me know. These are the easy ones and constitute about 36000 articles. I will add the next group shortly but they are a bit more complicated. Please let me know if you have any questions and if you don't mind drop me a note when you start the run. With so many of them I would like to spot check to make sure we don't accidentally do something we shouldn't. Thanks again for the help.

Projects With Task forces

Around 40, 000 articles

  • WikiProject Indiana has 1 task force, Indianapolis
  • WikiProject Louisiana has 3 task forces, New Orleans, Shreveport and Louisiana Tech
  • WikiProject Ohio has 1 task force, Townships task force.
  • WikiProject Washington has 2 task forces, Seattle and Eastern Washington.

A couple extra projects

About 2500 articles

  • When we add WikiProject Cicinnati please also add OH for Ohio.
  • When we add WikiProject Louisville please also add KY for Kentucky
  • When we add WikiProject Youngstown please also add OH for Ohio.

That should be all of it except a couple cats and dogs. --Kumioko (talk) 19:48, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Alright. I'll start work on the simpler ones this weekend. - EdoDodo talk 04:40, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
Great thank you. Please let me know if you have any problems or questions. --Kumioko (talk) 15:00, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

Why was this article taged as within the scope of WikiProject Maps?

The talk page of Minimum bounding rectangle was recently tagged by this bot as an article within the scope of WikiProject Maps, which is clearly incorrect since it's not about maps but about a kind of data structure. —Kri (talk) 20:11, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

: That will almost certainly have been my fault - when sorting which categories to tag with that wikiproject took quite a while - and there were probably a few extra pages tagged in error (I tried to avoid doing that as much as possible) - and there a probably still a few map related articles that won't have been tagged as a result - sorry about that - it's almost certainly not a reflection on dodobot. So jsut remove the tag and away to go. I'll go have a look at that page and which category got it tagged - perhaps that means I need to untag a few other pages.EdwardLane (talk) 13:40, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

Ok I looked at that page, and it seems pretty clearly a of interest to someone making maps - MBRs are frequently used as an indication of the general position of a geographic feature or dataset, for either display (that would be a map I guess?)...
And it is listed under category 'cartography' amongst other things. So I think that was a correct tagging.EdwardLane (talk) 13:45, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
Well, sometimes even if the category is completely relevant to the WikiProject, a few of the articles inside it can be slightly off-topic. It's up to the project whether to leave these or just untag them. - EdoDodo talk 04:29, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
Hm, okay, maybe it wasn't that clearly incorrect after all. Although I think the kind of map it is suited for is probably a more general map than a geographic one, since its used for example a lot in computer graphics. —Kri (talk) 05:04, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
WikiProject maps is not only interested in geographic maps - though obviously that is a prime focus - as that's where maps are useful in terms of an encyclopedia. But I think we're looking at all maps and cartography as part of the scope of the wikiproject. EdwardLane (talk) 13:38, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
Okay. —Kri (talk) 20:49, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

Tagging for WikiProject United States

Greetings, I just wanted to check back on the status of the request for the tagging run for WPUS. I noticed that most of the backlog of other requests had been cleared out and wanted to ask if there is anything you still need from me? --Kumioko (talk) 17:40, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Greetings and sorry to be a pest. I noticed that you hadn't edited in a few days. Are you still going to be able to do this request or would you prefer I ask someone else. Its really no problem either way, I understand your very busy in real life. --Kumioko (talk) 17:45, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Request for Interview Regarding Wikipedia Bots

Greetings-

My name is Randall Livingstone, and I am a graduate student at the University of Oregon, currently collecting data for my dissertation on Wikipedia editors who create and use bots and assisted editing tools, as well as editors involved in the initial and/or ongoing creation of bot policies on Wikipedia. As a member of BAG and an active member of the bot community, I would very much like to interview you for the project at a time and in a method that is most convenient for you (Gchat, another IM client, Skype, email, telephone, etc.). I am completely flexible and can work with your schedule. The interview will take approximately 30-45 minutes.

My dissertation project has been approved both by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) at the University of Oregon, and by the Research Committee at the Wikimedia Foundation. You can find more information on the project on my meta page.

Please let me know if you have any questions, and I look forward to hearing from you to set up a time to chat. Thank you very much.

DodoBot and TedderBot

Would it be possible for the two bots, DodoBot and TedderBot, to work together or share some capabilities. From my understanding, DodoBot applies WP Project tags to articles in categories corresponding to a project, but does it only once, on demand. TedderBot finds new articles every day, but doesn't apply a WP Project tag to high scoring articles. It would be great if DodoBot could run on a schedule, say once a week, since many articles and categories show up in time. Also, it would be great if TedderBot could apply the WP Project tag to high scoring new articles, categories, templates etc, or at least feed the created list to DodoBot for tagging. Is this (at least partially) doable? Both of them are great bots BTW! Thanks --Codrin.B (talk) 22:22, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

lurking. TedderBot could do that all by itself, but I'm behind on bugs and features for it right now :( tedder (talk) 23:00, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:King of the Beach (Wavves) album cover.jpg

⚠
⚠
 Thanks for uploading File:King of the Beach (Wavves) album cover.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

PLEASE NOTE:

  • I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions. If you have questions, please post them here.
  • I will automatically remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.
  • If you receive this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.
  • To opt out of these bot messages, add {{bots|deny=DASHBot}} to your talk page.
  • If you believe the bot has made an error, please ask an admin to turn it off here.


Thank you. DASHBot (talk) 02:25, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

It didn't send out the message to all the recipients. -- Nascar1996(Talk • Contribs) 15:38, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
When looking at the bot's contributions I also noticed that it didn't send WP:NASCAR's newsletter to everyone on the list. -- Nascar1996(Talk • Contribs) 15:43, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

Messenger Delivery Bot

Greetings EdoDodo, I'm writing in regards to the MessengerDeliveryBot for which I have used in the past and also have a TUSC approval. A discussion took place on WikiProject Eurovision, in regards to reviving the project newsletter which will be sent out to project members on a monthly basis. However, it will take a long time to deliver the newsletter to person individually, and I was wondering if using the Messenger service would be an acceptable option? If so, would someone from the project need login access to be able to approve and send the newsletters out on-time, without having them in a queuing system which may delay things? I thank you for your time reading this, and for look forward to your response in due course. Regards, Wesley☀Mouse 17:53, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

Hey, EdoDodo, Just a poke not sure if you're aware it seems WelcomerBot has not been operating. Thanks Mlpearc (powwow) 20:06, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Maria Sachs 1.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Maria Sachs 1.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy.
