that content contributor tool ...

is being bemusedly discussed at User talk:Drmies, thanks to my seeing it mentioned on #wikipedia-en before I had to go to work last night. Did you write it? Could you put the folks there out of their frustration and explain how it works? I saw someone say it takes the inverse ... but not of what :-) Yngvadottir (talk) 19:21, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

I left a comment there, thanks for the pointer. Legoktm (talk) 07:39, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

Authority control, redux

I'm working with a number of editors on non-English Wikipedias, to have {{Authority control}} and its sub-templates and module(s) imported into their projects. A couple are getting errors which they can't resolve (they both speak English, thankfully!). Would you kindly assist them, if I point them here?

Sorry, I missed this last time you posted it here. I might be able to help, but I don't really have time to do so :/. Maybe point them to Wikipedia:Lua_requests or m:Tech? Legoktm (talk) 16:55, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

Good article stats

Hello,

I was wondering if there was a way to get a list of:

  • Articles that I've worked on to get to GA status
  • Articles that I reviewed for GA status

At the Wikipedia IRC chat I was given the page with the counts for reviews by user and it would be great to see what is included in that list. I was told you would be the person that would know more about this... or if it could be done.

Regarding articles that I've worked on to get to GA status, I realized that might be more difficult. In terms of fields of information - it would seem the nominator could be used, but that could be a self-nomination or really anyone who might have a direct or peripheral involvement.

Do you know if this information is available, or if it would not be too much work to create either of these lists?

By the way, thanks for all that you do as Legobot to manage the communication of nomination status changes, adding the icons, etc.!

Thanks!

Carole

Sorry, Legobot currently doesn't keep track of that information, and I don't really have that much time to write something that would find that information. Maybe try asking at WP:BOTR? Legoktm (talk) 21:51, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
No, it's ok. I found that I can back into the info by performing searches of archives of GA and my talk pages. Thanks anyhow.--CaroleHenson (talk) 22:00, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

WikiProject Good Articles - GA Cup


WikiProject Good articles is holding a new competition, the GA Cup, from October 1, 2014 - March 28, 2015. The Cup will be based on reviewing Good article nominations; for each review, points will be awarded with bonuses for older nominations, longer articles and comprehensive reviews. All participants will start off in one group and the highest scoring participants will go through to the second round. At the moment six rounds are planned, but this may change based on participant numbers.

Some of you may ask: what is the purpose for a competition of this type? Currently, there is a backlog of about 500 unreviewed Good article nominations, almost an all time high. It is our hope that we can decrease the backlog in a fun way, through friendly competition.

Everyone is welcome to join; new and old editors! Sign-ups will be open until October 15, 2014 so sign-up now!

If you have any questions, take a look at the FAQ page and/or contact one of the four judges.

Cheers from NickGibson3900, Dom497, TheQ Editor and Figureskatingfan.

SPI

As you previously acted on a Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Kauffner SPI, are you able to take a look at this latest one? Is actively editing in several short term discussions RMs/AfDs etc. and removing notifications of the SPI. Thanks. In ictu oculi (talk) 10:21, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

Revdel

Hi. Thanks for your revdel at User talk:Mehrab kakar. I did bring it to the IRC channel when I saw it, but was told that policy applied only to those under 13. I couldn't find any relevant policy, but it still seemed wrong to just leave it there, so I did what I did. Is there a policy I should cite next time, or was this just one of those discretionary situations? —[AlanM1(talk)]— 07:45, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

I've got another similar instance, with a residence address and DOB posted by a 16yo. I tried hailing you on the IRC revdel channel, but I guess you are away. {{Ping}} me if you want the diff and I'll go to the IRC revdel channel. —[AlanM1(talk)]— 19:24, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

OTRS edit filter

I've made a suggestion in the comments for some regex could we might be able to use if you have sometime to review it. Callanecc (talkcontribslogs) 06:43, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
