[edit] Peer reviewer js

Hi Andy, I tried to install your semi-automated peer reviewer into my monobook.js, but even after quitting, emptying the cache, and reloading a number of times, I can't get it to work. Any suggestions? Thanks. --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 19:48, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Never mind, seems it's working now. Great tool, thank you! --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 19:54, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi Andy, I tried to make a minor grammatical fix to your bot, which you appear to have reverted. [1] – I don't know if this was intentional or not, but "may be" is correct in this context. ("Maybe" is an adverb, and leaves you without a verb.) –Joke 02:23, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I figured it was unintentional, and that you wouldn't get many outside edits. Do you just edit the script directly in the edit window or do you mainly work on it locally on your machine? Thanks! –Joke 03:09, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi Andy - thanks for fixing my monobook to work with the peer reviewer - I was going to get around to it when I had need of it again. However, I don't seem to have the option to perform the review. Horus Kol 09:29, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

I even cleared my cache... just had a thought, though, we have a proxy/filter on the outbound connection. Bet that's the problem. I'll see if I can clear that and let you know. Horus Kol 09:03, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Nope - its not the proxy... we bypassed that, and I've just tried again here at home... no links are visible anywhere - I'm using FireFox and IE for testing. Horus Kol 19:32, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

I get a message box from Wikipedia saying "Error: Could not locate text". Horus Kol 15:14, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Got it - just tested the link, and it seems all fine now... thanks for that. Horus Kol 15:31, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] {{peerreview}} on Rizal

Thanks for your help, AndyZ! KaElin 17:44, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Sure, no problem. AZ _t 19:13, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Peer Reviewer

Hi! Your Peer Reviewer bot/semi-bot is very useful; it's highlighted several issues in the article. One small point though: would it be possible to program the bot to ignore problems in text surrounded by "quotes". The review of Arctic Monkeys for example has highlighted "vague terms of size" and "American and British English mixing" as an issue, when all of these occur in quotes ("Some might enjoy that, but we wouldn't" for example). Also, the <CENTER> tag appears to be being confused with the word center/centre, and is being flagged as American English, even though it does not occur in the readable text. But like I say, these are minor issues, and overall the system is very useful. Thanks! Laïka 14:58, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Military Brat

Would you be so kind as to run your peer review tool on the article I'm working on Military Brat. Thanks 143.165.168.50 00:12, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for running the program... apparently I had timed out when I signed this. Balloonman 18:24, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] popup

Hello,
you made this edit in Lupin's popup code. I don't know what is is, but since then, the messages shown are less clear when the tool is used to make a revert (in french at least). Could you consider revising it ? Thanks.

Thank you for your quick answer. The message lefte when reverting is less cryptic now. You totally deserve your Barnstar of diligence  :) Moez ^talk 03:06, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] peerreviewer.js

Hey AndyZ, I see you've been making changes to your code. Just a comment regarding the changes that in Firefox 2.0, the changes cause their to be a horizontal scrollbar on all article pages (including talk and user pages, but not including watchlist and contribution pages). In IE, the horizontal scrollbar doesn't show up. Regards, -- Jeff3000 03:11, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Interlanguage sorting

Hi. Your bot suggested that the interlanguage links on The Simpsons article should be sorted. They are however sorted by the order used by every single bot, so I think your script should follow the same order. I believe the problem is "Bahasa Indonesia", which you probably want next to B, but the other bots wants it next to I. --Maitch 11:20, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Peer review

Hi,

For the Mauricio Gugelmin article, your bot added a comment to the peer review page Wikipedia:Peer review/Mauricio Gugelmin, but failed to add any comments about it to the linked page. Readro 21:31, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Brabham

Hi Andy.

Would you mind running your peer review bot over the Brabham Racing Organisation article? You did so once before when it was in Peer Review - which I found very helpful - but it would be handy to have another check to see whether I've lapsed back since. Thanks. 4u1e 13:33, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Ta. For some reason I can't get the script to work (nothing seems to happen when I click on the 'send to PR' tab), hence my request. Thanks again. 4u1e 06:37, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Ah - thanks, you're right, that seems to work. Now I feel dumb! :D 4u1e 22:33, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] FAC of Bacteria

Hi Andy, thank you for your careful copy-editing. I think I have addressed all your concerns. TimVickers 20:09, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

An editor has made some major changes to this article, could you please return to the FAC and provide some feedback on whether or not these are an improvement? TimVickers 21:29, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] tell your robot

tell your robot to make Rosetta@home an FA article.--Records 03:14, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hero of Belarus

Thank you for your recent edits to the page. As you might know, there is an FAC being issued for that article. If you think I am missing anything major, please let me know at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Hero of Belarus. Thanks again. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 02:48, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Parakramabahu

Hi AndyZ. Thanks for your feedback on Parakramabahu. I've gone through it and changed it as per your suggestions; would you mind having a look at it and letting me know if there's anything else you think I should change? I really want to get this up to GA status!DocSubster 12:44, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] PR script

I use your PR script often, but sometimes have trouble figuring out what triggers it flag things. Two I've never figured out are:

• it says images need concise captions when they all have one, so what triggers this? If it's images with long captions, what does it consider long?
• the article may have to use subpages, when the article already has several "main" links to subpages.

Do you have a guide to the messages somewhere? Thanks for a great tool! Rlevse 19:46, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, for captions, all my pics in Scouting have one, but it still flags it as not...hmmm.Rlevse 22:47, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A big favor

Hi Andy, White Deer Hole Creek is a current FAC. While it has received many support votes, Tony1 pointed out some areas that did not meet 1a, as well as some unnnecessary wikilinks. I believe I have now fixed these, but would appreciate a look. If you have the chance and inclination, could you please takea look at the article? I remember you found some stuff I missed in Larrys Creek's peer review and hope you could double check White Deer Hole Creek? Thanks in advance for ant help, Ruhrfisch 19:50, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

You're off the hook...

	Thanks again for your comments in Peer Review - White Deer Hole Creek made featured article! Take care, Ruhrfisch 17:11, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] problem with your automated peer review bot

I recently added a request for a peer review on The Suite Life of Zack and Cody,today it posted a comment about there being an automated one, and i check it out. Aparently there's a glitch in your bot and it went to The Suite Life of Zack, a non-existant article and left a review for that. --Malevious Userpage •Talk Page• Contributions 21:51, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanx for fixing it :) now i can get to work trying to improve the article --Malevious Userpage •Talk Page• Contributions 00:59, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for helping me at the peer review AndyZ. I'll follow your comments when I try to improve the article. | AndonicO ^{Talk | Sign Here} 00:02, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Request

Dear AndyZ,

I am trying to get the Ohio Wesleyan University article to FA status. I was wondering if you might have some time to take a look at it and make some suggestions for improvements (help with editing will be most welcome). WikiprojectOWU 02:16, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
