[edit] Silly redirects?

OK. I accept that your bot doesn't create silly redirects. But why did it do this? --Russ (talk) 01:28, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Because of Hoary made an autoredirect. --Emijrp (talk) 12:51, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

As I understand it, your bot acts whenever it finds redirect.lower() == origin.lower(). However, it also should be checking to be sure that redirect != origin . --Russ (talk) 22:45, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

That is a very odd case. Autoredirects are mistakes. My bot has categorized 250,000 redirects and there was only one autoredirect. --Emijrp (talk) 09:04, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Yes, it is an odd case, but people do make mistakes and it's very easy to check for. --Russ (talk) 11:33, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

I can imagine that it's very difficult for a bot to create or modify disambiguation pages. So they'll have to be modified by hand. I volunteer to do it for Aragon, with some more volunteers we can complete the job. The trouble is that, for example for Aliaga (Teruel), not only the disambiguation page isn't modified, but the possible pages Aliaga (Teruel) or Aliaga (Spain) don't exist either. That's what I don't understand. --Jotamar (talk) 15:50, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

I've modified bad links and added a map for the Teruel province. I'll try to do the same for Zaragoza and Huesca if I have the time. Check the map, for example here : Ababuj.--Jotamar (talk) 01:07, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Nice, althought it may be inside infobox. I don't know if it's possible with the current parameters. --Emijrp (talk) 07:57, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Toolserveraccount

Hello Emijrp,
please send your real-name, your wikiname, your prefered login-name and the public part of your ssh-key to . We plan to create your account soon then. --DaB. 00:24, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
P.S:Merry Christmas! :)

[edit] ¡Feliz Navidad!

En es:wiki te echamos de menos, espero que este próximo año todo te vaya muy bien. Un gran abrazo, Mercedes 22:24, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Gracias, felices fiestas a ti también. ;) --Emijrp (talk) 16:09, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] biography images

Your webpage script completely crashes encoding in articles [1]

--WarX (talk) 18:48, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

I was fixing it. Now it works fin. If you see more problems, tell me. --Emijrp (talk) 18:56, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Defaultsort

I'm not sure it matters, and I don't need a response, but if your bot is doing "defaultsort"s (and I'm extremely happy that it is), perhaps it could sort the categories? And if it does that, maybe have "XXXX births", "XXXX deaths" and/or "living people" be first, followed by an alpha sort of the cats? Just a suggestion from a fellow bot owner - feel free to ignore :) -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 19:24, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Commons -> Dutch Wikipedia

Hi, just wanted to let know that I have deleted w:nl:Gebruiker:Emijrp/Commons and accompanying talk page, as all articles listed have now been checked and pictures and/or links to Commons added. Thanks for providing us with this list! Have a great 2008. Regards, Jvhertum (talk) 16:38, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please, delete complete entries

Please, delete complete entries. --Emijrp (talk) 12:17, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

I just assumed a bot would take care of it soon enough. I'll be sure to manually delete them from now on. Thanks! --Bossi (talk • gallery • contrib) 16:41, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Booya!

The first biography page to be complete eliminated: User:BOTijo/Images for biographies/9.

That was fun. Can't wait to take out the rest. ;) EVula // talk // ☯ // 00:04, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Try again, I've cleared it out again. ;) EVula // talk // ☯ // 20:13, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

 :O Emijrp (talk) 20:27, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

...and another two: User:BOTijo/Images for biographies/3 and User:BOTijo/Images for biographies/7. Whee! EVula // talk // ☯ // 21:33, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Feliz año nuevo, Emijrp y gracias por el regalito que nos haces con este proyecto de imágenes para biografías. Me parece fascinante. Un saludo y otra página vacía :) --Javier Carro (talk) 15:58, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Gracias por trabajar en ella. Feliz año. Cuídate. --Emijrp (talk) 16:47, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Illustrating bios

I've added 25+ pics to the bios, but seemed to have missed the barnstar bus. Is there a threshold for this? --BrokenSphere^{Msg me} 00:53, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] A suggestion

Hi Emijrrp, the suggested new images are a great idea. If I can make one, actually two suggestions, it might be nicer if it sorted by destination wiki. That is, if all the images for adding to a given wiki are put on the same page? I know that would mean some duplication where a single image can be added to two wikis, but given that a single person is quite likely to only add one of those images, I think that's probably a good thing.

The other suggestion, which I guess you've already thought of, would be to add automatic removal of suggestions once they get actioned, or perhaps just add a one-click button to each suggestion that deletes the section it's in, if that's possible?

But anyway, thanks for creating the bot! Regards, Ben Aveling 01:48, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Useless redirects?

I've recently deleted some redirects from uncapitalized names, and I've noticed they were all created by your bot. I wonder what is the policy on that? I tend to be lenient on redirects, but I think everybody knows they should capitalize name of a country or a city. Redirects which I think are useless include for example Duchy of zator or expulsion of poles by germany.--_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 12:14, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Please, read this, this, this and this.

Example from WP:REDIRECT:

Redirect Vice chancellor of austria to Vice-Chancellor of Austria is needed because the Go search is case-sensitive for mixed-caps titles. Adding this redirect allows the article to be found when a user enters "vice chancellor of austria" or "vice chancellor of Austria" as a Go search.

Also, [2], [3], [4]. Not all have been created by my bot ;). Now, if you write "duchy of zator" on the search box, you won't go to the article :(. --Emijrp (talk) 13:55, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Images for bio

Hi. Yes, please make the tool add images on left. For example, this image should have been added on left of the page. The first edit summary is correct. It is not working correctly here because the English Wikipedia is configured as an ltr wiki. It will work correctly on the Arabic Wikipedia where it is intended to be used. Thank you. --Meno25 (talk) 18:46, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

the Hebrew wikipdia also need the images on the left so please change it from right|thumb to שמאל|ממוזער which is the local syntax. Hidro (talk) 01:30, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

i don't know if it's the tool's fault but it's a problem [5]. Hidro (talk) 18:47, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

It is a usual mistake for character ' and I don't know how to fix it :( . Fortunately it isn't a frequent character. --Emijrp (talk) 20:52, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

it's a vary common character in names translated to Hebrew, look. Hidro (talk) 21:43, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Images for biographies @ toolserver

Hi Emijrp,

Thanks for the great bot! I've added already about 50+ images to nl.wikipedia! I have a small quiestion however, is there a particular reason that the added images are flagged as minor edits by default? Adding an image is not a minor edit IMHO, minor edits are things like spellingcorrections or typo's etc. Keep up the good work! Best regards, Tdevries (talk) 22:43, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

I don't care to change the flag edit, but nobody think like you by now. If there are more people, I have no problem. --Emijrp (talk) 12:55, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Destacados y buenos

Buenas y santas Emilio, espero que todo te ande bien. Me apena un poco tener que venir a escribirte aquí, ya que se te echa de menos por nuestros lares (sí, sé que suena inverosímil de mi teclado =P). En fin, te vengo a hacer un "mangazo". Quería pedirte si podrías correr a BOTijo para que saque la lista de destacados y buenos de en: con tamaño y eso, cómo lo tenías antes en tus subpáginas, que lamentablemente decidiste borrar. Si podés (y querés), crealas en cualquier subpágina mia que quieras, no tengo problema. Muchas gracias de antemano. Saludos, Gizmo II (talk) 01:33, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

No recuerdo haber hecho eso, me parece que era cosa de Yrithinnd. Lo que si hice fue un listado de destacados que nacieron como esbozos. De cualquier forma no tiene mayor complicación un bot así, dime que campos te interesan: título, tamaño, número de interwikis, de imágenes, ¿algo más? Lo pongo en mi lista de tareas por hacer. --Emijrp (talk) 12:21, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

De hecho, con sólo tener el título, el tamaño, y sus homónimos en es: me alcanza y sobra. Muchas gracias. Saludos, Gizmo II (talk) 14:32, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "Images for biographies" in the italian wikipedia

Hi Emijrp, in your useful tool there isn't the italian wikipedia (it:). Can you add it?
Thank you --62.211.186.67 (talk) 11:44, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Because italian wikipedia use a lot of templates which have got parameters for images that hide the file extension (jpg, png...), so the bot thinks that it is an article without image, but it's wrong. And this show a mount of false positives. --Emijrp (talk) 12:54, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Unfortunately it's true :( thank you anyway. --79.7.202.13 (talk) 18:12, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] imagesforbios

First of all, thank you for developing this cool tool. Secondly, I request/suggestion to make this tool better: for RTL languages, such as Hebrew, Arabic etc, it should add the thumb image floating to left, not to right. Two options to implement this:

• condition to check if the language is rtl - change "right" to "left"
• just add it in format of [[{{subst:ns:6}}:<imagename>|thumb|{{subst:PAGENAME}}]] - without "right" or "left" and it will get the default direction.

Thanks, 89.139.253.72 (talk) 12:24, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. --Emijrp (talk) 12:47, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 2nd run of duplicate images w/ variations on the theme

After working on the completion of the last run, and doing a bit more work with duplicate images (and not having the tech saavy to do this), would it be possible to make a run of duplicated image names that have simply a variation on the theme of their suffix; i.e. Image:test.jpg and Image:test.JPG and possibly Image:test.Jpg Image:test.jPg and Image:test.jpG (though I don't know how the software deals with those last three. The other variation on the theme would be capitalization of the name, such as Image:test.JPG and Image:teSt.JPG Image:TEst.JPG (though I believe that the first character is always capped). I've been coming across a few of these that were uploaded like this, and don't think there's been a search through the images to catch these duplications.

[edit] contador.php feature request

Hello !

Could you add a feature, to allow us to link directly to the result page ? Something like contador.php?user=DumZiBoT ?

Thanks, NicDumZ ~ 06:46, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Woops, I just noticed the template on your Userpage !

Actually, when you enter a name on http://tools.wikimedia.de/~emijrp/contador.php, and hit submit, it gives you the result, but it does not change the URL of the page. I'd suggest you to redirect to http://tools.wikimedia.de/~emijrp/contador.php?usuario+Place%20holder, to emphazise how easy it is to link to a resultpage of your tool, and to avoid questions as dumb as mine ;) (Or at least, add a little notice on the page, mentionning that it is possible, using *this* syntax)

This tool is a really good idea : I was thinking about implementing such an utility, since I consider that both internal and external editcounters retrieving one's contributions is stupid when http://fr.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=users&ususers=DumZiBoT|NicDumZ&usprop=editcount will give an editcount loadfree or nearly. By the way, you are using api.ph, are you ? (If not, just in case you don't know yet, you should upgrade from query.php to api.php, since query.php *will* get discontinued in the next month)

Thanks !

I'm using query.php, thanks for advice, I have to re-code that part, query's death is near. --Emijrp (talk) 16:58, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hola Emirjp

disculpa la molestia; queria pedirte que me enseńaras como puedo poner los videos de Youtube (como en tu wiki personal), en mi pagina, me gustan mas he visto que en todas las demas wiki si se pueden poner los videos, pero he tratado en la wiki:es de que se vea, creo le llaman embed, y no puedo, es necesario que uno baje el programa a la computadora de uno?. o solo se puede pegar el codigo y ya?, leia en mediawiki[6] el que hicistes pero de todos. modos no sale ninguna imagen, necesito crear alguna pagina nueva para poner ese codigo?, por favor cuando leas si puedes ayudame, me gusta mas ver esos video en la wiki, creo se ven mas presentable. en fin que tengas un buen dia. lo copie aqui pero de todos modos no se ve como aqui. gracias por todo. --Teknomegisto (talk) 23:16, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

¿Dónde quieres poner los videos? En las Wikipedias no se pueden poner videos de YouTube porque no hay ninguna extensión instalada para ello. En Inciclopedia sí, porque habrán incorporado alguna. En Wikipedia lo que puede hacerse es poner videos mediante la etiqueta [[Media:Ejemplo.ogg]], y estos videos deben alojarse en Wikimedia Commons. Advertirte que no se pueden subir videos con derechos de autor restrictivos, osea, no libres. Un artículo que tiene video es Despegue por ejemplo. Emijrp (talk) 08:54, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

entonces esta extensiòn que creastes ¿no sirve para ese proposito? como se puede instalar una?, la queria poner mas que nada en mi pagina personal de la es: wikipedia, no en los articulos, de esa manera si quisiera podria cambiarlos!, asta la habia copiado ¡pensando que para eso era!, has creado alguna para poderse instalar en las wikipedias?, pues entiendo que la inciclopedia es de wikia y esta es de jimbo ¿no?, donde podria conseguirla aunque la pusiera en un apartado particular con mi nombre como hice con laTeknomegisto:youtube, ayudame plis, consiguemela!,pues veo que eres un experto en todo eso, y ya que tienes una cuenta en youtube me imagino que conoces mejor ese maneje ¿no?, he visto varias formas en la web para otras wikis pero, si no sirvio la que hicistes en media wiki, menos serivirian las de otras web. bueno buen dia tengas y muchas gracias por tu contestaciòn.

pensaba, que poner de esa manera los videos son mejores, porque en realidad no se estaria violando ningun derecho de autor aunque fuera copyright el video, puesto que no se sube el video mas bien solo se presenta ¿no?. --Teknomegisto (talk) 22:02, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Instalar extensiones que permitan usar videos de YouTube en Wikipedia es cosa de la comunidad y en última instancia deben instalarla los desarrolladores. No creo que se vaya a hacer porque plantearía muchos problemas de derechos de autor, aunque los videos estuvieran alojados en YouTube. Emijrp (talk) 08:23, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] meta-pages on pl wiki

Hi! Hmm pl:Wikipedia:Utilisateurs par nombre d'éditions (bots inclus) ? Is it correct? :) Przykuta (talk) 21:44, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Yes. I believe that fr:Utilisateur:Toolserver was also yours. fr:Wikipédia:Utilisateurs par nombre d'éditions has been created, but there is already fr:Wikipédia:Liste des Wikipédiens par nombre d'éditions ;)

I'd be curious to know what happened :þ
