Social sciences and society - problem with not listing reviewers

Please see Wikipedia_talk:Good_article_nominations#Social_sciences_and_society_-_problem_with_not_listing_reviewers.

FYI, I removed the duplicate section, not sure if that fixes it or not, feel free to change it.

Thanks very much for your helpful Bot services,

Please see Bot adds back the duplicate entry. — Cirt (talk) 05:10, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
Cirt, looking back at the history of the Social sciences and society topic list, an IP deleted the BOT STARTS HERE comment from the top of the original list in late August, which may be why the full list including that BOT STARTS HERE comment keeps getting added on at the bottom. I've just tried restoring the comment at the top; with any luck that will solve the problem. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:22, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
Thank you, I hope that's the permanent fix to the problem, — Cirt (talk) 05:23, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

My Garifuna in Peril stuff-up

Hey, Legoktm,
Hi, can you please explain why you re-deleted this less than a minute after another admin undeleted it?
That's easily explained: it's because I made a stupid mistake.
The question should be: "how can an admin with 35K+ edits make such a stupid mistake?"
I really do not have any kind of answer to that. All I can offer is thanking you for pointing out my mistake, and hoping I will learn from it.

Interest in WP:PJTF checkback

Hi, Legoktm, just checking up on your July invitation to rejoin the Percy Jackson Task-force. Please do not feel pressured in any way to decide, but be aware that your username has been moved to the "Inactive" section of our members list, should you ever go looking for it. Thanks again for your past work, and happy editing! 2ReinreB2 (talk) 01:24, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

I'll glance at the articles at some point, I just finished the Heroes of Olympus series, but had to return the books to the library already :/ Legoktm (talk) 15:03, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

Legobot suggestion re WP:GAN edit summaries

Legoktm, whenever someone starts a new review, that review shows up in the edit summary, as it should. However, every other review they have active at the moment (including the ones on hold) also show up in the edit summary, because the total number of reviews changes in each of these summaries.

Can you modify the Legobot code so only the meaningful changes show up in the edit summary? In other words, if all that's changed for a particular entry is the number of reviews, don't include it, but if the change involves starting a review, going from review to hold or second opinion or among these three, or other significant change, then it should appear? (These number-only entries sometimes crowd out actual changes that it would be useful to summarize.)

There's another issue I was wondering about, and that is when someone enters a bad subtopic in the GA nominee template on an article talk page. Right now, the article and bad subtopic appear in the edit summary but the nomination itself isn't added, and this repeats until someone spots that there's an issue and fixes the template on the article talk page. I just did that for Talk:Thomas Jefferson, where the subtopic was given as "World History" (and needed to be "World history" with a lowercase "h"). Two questions: can the bot leave a note on the nominator's talk page letting them know that they need to fix the subtopic? And might the bot be a bit more forgiving if the only problem is capitalization? (There are plenty that misspell the subtopic or make one up, but capitalization seems pretty benign.)

I hope one or both of these is feasible, and won't take up much of your time. Please let me know here. Many thanks for all your work keeping these processes running. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:42, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
