[edit] Bot Request

I'm responding to your posting on the bot request page. What you are requesting wouldn't be difficult to write a small bot for. I although don't understand if you would like for the bot to tag articles in subcategories of Columbia University or just articles in the Columbia University category itself. --Android Mouse 02:21, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I don't know how to write bots; is it easy to do? Does it require I create a new one or is there a preexisting one that would already do it (I feel that Snowbot fits the description). I would want to tag articles in Columbia University AND all of its subcategories to be part of the WikiProject. Thanks, --Valley2city^₪‽ 02:28, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

It isn't difficult. All that would be required is to write a program that makes a few requests to http://en.wikipedia.org/w/query.php and filters through to find talkpages which don't contain the template. I wouldn't mind writing it. Although as you suggested, there might be bots that can already do this. I'm not sure --Android Mouse 02:37, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I think I'll give it a shot. I have no idea what I am doing, but can it be completely programmed through AWB? I see there is a bot option in the program. --Valley2city^₪‽ 02:47, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure, I'm pretty new to writing bots for Wikipedia. --Android Mouse 02:53, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Are you also new to Wikipedia itself? If so, welcome! Anyway, I'm not sure if I am going to go ahead with creating the bot until I do a little more research. If you want to collaborate on one, I'm game. I've just forgotten all of my C++ and Java. --Valley2city^₪‽ 03:05, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, but I've been editing mostly without an account. I created one primarily so I could get involed in bot creation. I'm not a big fan of OOP, I prefer using primarily C. Although looking at the manual for AWB it can 'Append/Prepend message — Appends/Prepend the given text to the bottom of the page (talk pages only).', I'm not sure to what detail though. I'll have to download it and see what it can do --Android Mouse 03:28, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

I've been prepending through AWB, but it's just tedious to have to push the button each time. To use AWB you need to get approval first and they normally require at least 500 mainspace edits under a username, but perhaps if you show them your IP contributions they might authorize you. I have no idea. --Valley2city^₪‽ 03:32, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I was under the impression that you could set it to be more automated instead having to click for each one. --Android Mouse 03:40, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

It's semi-automated. I don't think they give users carte blanche to automate strings of edits. That's what bots are for and there are additional options for bots which I would assume involve complete automation (but then again I don't know because I do not own a bot). Take a look at the user manual to see if this is what you are looking for. Here is some information about what it can do for bots. --Valley2city^₪‽ 03:46, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm going to jump in and say that WP:AWB can do automated text addition to the top of talk pages, and it's completely autonomous. To get access to the automated section, you need to request approval and myself or someone else should have you ready to go within a week or so. ST47Talk 10:34, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I set up a BRFA and let's see what happens. --Valley2city^₪‽ 17:36, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

I already have a bot that does this. It can also be used to traverse the category hierarchy to find other relevant categories and tag all related articles. Another feature is that it can create a list of all tagged articles for you, to be used as a watchlist. The bot's page has links to examples and more details. Let me know if you want me to run it for you. Ingrid 22:13, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks Ingrid. Please run your bot to tag untagged remaining articles in Category:Columbia University and its subcategories with {{WikiProject Columbia University}}. I'm going to be incommunicado until tomorrow night so go ahead if you wish. Thanks, --Valley2city^₪‽ 23:40, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

On second thought, Ingrid, I kinda want to experience operating a bot on my own. I want to wait for the results of the BRFA before proceding with anything. If that fails then I will seek you out again. Thanks for the offer. --Valley2city^₪‽ 04:17, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jonathan Daniels

I was wondering why you added Jonathan Daniels to the Columbia University WikiProject. It doesn't seem that Daniels had any connection to Columbia University. Thanks for your attention to this. Dce7 01:18, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Good call, Dce7. I didn't notice that the wrong Jonathan Daniels was tagged. It is Jonathan W. Daniels, not Jonathan M. Daniels, who famously failed out of Columbia Law School. I have since removed the WP tag. Thanks for your alertness and it goes to show that all of us can make mistakes. --Valley2city^₪‽ 03:41, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kamsa and Bar Kamsa

Good new article there. (I'm Jewish, so I knew in advance what it was about.) Consider the following:

• Create incoming redirects from Kamtza and Bar Kamtza and search terms with only lowercase letters.
• Find other articles to link inward to this article.
• Nominate the article for Did you know?. It may be good enough. 69.201.182.76 02:53, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey, thanks! I was actually about to create that particular redir when I got the orange New Message bar. Good call on the DYK; I submitted an abstract just now. Thanks. --Valley2city^₪‽ 03:03, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kamsa and Bar Kamsa

On 20 May 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Kamsa and Bar Kamsa, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

[edit] GAC backlog elimination drive

This form message is being sent to you either due to your membership with WikiProject Good Articles and/or your inclusion on the Wikipedia:Good article candidates/List of reviewers. A new drive has been started requesting that all members review at least one article (or more, if you wish!) within the next two weeks at GAC to help in removing the large backlog. This message is being sent to all members, and even members who have been recently reviewing articles. There are almost 130 members in this project and about 180 articles that currently need to be reviewed. If each member helps to review just one or two articles, the majority of the backlog will be cleared. Since the potential amount of reviewers may significantly increase, please make sure to add :{{GAReview}} underneath the article you are reviewing to ensure that only one person is reviewing each article. Additionally, the GA criteria may have been modified since your last review, so look over the criteria again to help you to determine if a candidate is GA-worthy. If you have any questions about this drive or the review process, leave a message on the GAC talk page. --Nehrams2020 01:01, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WP:RFBOT

Your recent bot approvals request has been Approved. Please see the request page for details. When the bot flag is set it will show up in this log. --ST47Talk 19:19, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

(I think) I fixed your userbox issues. If problems still remain, please drop me a line and I'll try to help fix them too. Cheers! --snowolfD4^{( talk / @ )} 19:22, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I was glad to help out with you userboxes. And thanks for the Barnstar. I really appreciate it. Happy editing! --snowolfD4^{( talk / @ )} 20:35, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your sig

Replace Valley2city^₪‽ with Valley2city^₪‽ ([[User:Valley2city|'''<span style="background: blue; color: white; font-family: Comic Sans MS;">Valley</span>2<span style="background: skyblue; color:white; font-family: Arial;">city</span>''']][[User talk:Valley2city|<sup>₪‽</sup>]]). Its down to 233 from 269 characters. Alternatively, I would suggest you consider dropping "Comic Sans MS" as it will render nothing on non-Microsoft Windows machines, and using Valley2city^₪‽ ([[User:Valley2city|'''<span style="background: blue; color: white;">Valley</span>2<span style="background: skyblue; color:white;">city</span>''']][[User talk:Valley2city|<sup>₪‽</sup>]]), which will drop it to 185 characters. Cheers, Iamunknown 06:14, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Ah, thank you so much, I was working on alternatives removing the symbols from my sig, but this works even better, though I have truncated it even further. Thank you! Valley2city 06:26, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

(Edit conflict with below) I just managed to reduce the number of characters in your signature, but apparently somebody else beat me to it. Oh well. Glad you can use it now. -- kenb215 talk 16:58, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your sig

Try this, which is under 255: [[User:Valley2city|'''<span style="background:blue;font-family:Comic Sans MS;color:white">Valley</span>2<span style="background:#8CE;font-family:Arial;color:white">city</span>''']][[User talk:Valley2city|<sup>₪‽</sup>]]. It's exactly the same sig, excapt that the 'city' bit is a very slightly different shade of blue (change #8CE to skyblue and it's still within the 255 character limit if you want it exactly the same); the reason your sig was over the limit was that it was coded inefficiently (it's possible to combine more than one style into one span tag, and if you do that you don't need font tags at all). --ais523 16:54, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Heh, I see Iamunknown beat me to it. --ais523 16:55, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

...and I think we wrote exactly the same thing, except that I removed redundant spaces and changed the shade of blue to make it still shorter... --ais523 16:56, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm glad so many people are taking an interest in my signature. I love that aspect of Wikipedia. :) Thanks everybody. --Valley2city 17:17, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

This one is identical, and only 228 chars: [[User:Valley2city|<b><span style="background:blue; color:white"><font face="Comic Sans MS">Valley</font></span>2<span style="background:skyblue; color:white"><font face="Arial">city</font></span></b>]][[User talk:Valley2city|<sup>₪‽</sup>]] Cheers, —Preceding unsigned comment added by HiDrNick (talk • contribs) 19:14, June 16, 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Excessive wikification on a disambiguation page

The accepted practice on a dab page is not to have more than one wikilink per item; people are expected to go to the listed item for additional detail. I thus reversed your (unmistakably well-meant) additional wikification of various items on the Milton page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Orangemike (talk • contribs) 13:30, June 26, 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice and I'll keep it in mind in the future. I sometimes go on wikilink sprees. Valley2city 20:45, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] July 2007 GAC backlog elimination drive

A new elimination drive of the backlog at Wikipedia:Good article candidates will take place from the month of July through August 12, 2007. There are currently about 130 articles that need to be reviewed right now. If you are interested in helping with the drive, then please visit Wikipedia:Good article candidates backlog elimination drive and record the articles that you have reviewed. Awards will be given based on the number of reviews completed. Since the potential amount of reviewers may significantly increase, please make sure to add :{{GAReview}} underneath the article you are reviewing to ensure that only one person is reviewing each article. Additionally, the GA criteria may have been modified since your last review, so look over the criteria again to help you to determine if a candidate is GA-worthy. If you have any questions about this drive or the review process, leave a message on the drive's talk page. Please help to eradicate the backlog to cut down on the waiting time for articles to be reviewed.

You have received this message either due to your membership with WikiProject: Good Articles and/or your inclusion on the Wikipedia:Good article candidates/List of reviewers. --Nehrams2020 03:41, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Halivni.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Halivni.gif. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast 15:50, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WP:CVU status

The Wikipedia:Counter-Vandalism Unit project is under consideration to be moved to {{inactive}} and/or {{historical}} status. Another proposal is to delete or redirect the project.

[edit] WP:HL

Hi there, I noticed you had the shortcut WP:HL for Wikipedia:WikiProject Hebrew languages I just started at WikiProject of my own here. I was wondering if we could work out some kind of compromise with the HL shortcut? Stormin' Foreman 05:01, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Hey, though I have already taken WP:HL as the acronym of Hebrew Languages, there are still plenty of good redir shortcuts that are not currently taken: WP:High is still available. Sometimes the good ones are already taken, as I can attest when trying to develop shortcuts for Wikipedia:WikiProject Columbia University. WP:CU is already taken by Cleanup so I had to resort to WP:Columbia, which, though significantly longer, is much better than having to type in such a long title. I think that a short, easy to remember shortcut like WP:High should serve your purposes. Hope this helps. Valley2city 05:31, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User page renovation

Hello Valley2city! I noticed your request to have your userpage renovated, and I will be happy to help. I am handy with Wiki-markup, and know my way around the Userboxing world. If you agree, I will create a sandbox page and make changes to your userpage there, as not to disrupt your real userpage. I will take the changes you want me to make one at a time, with your comments on how I am doing. I can offer advice, and, when you are completely satisfied with my work, I will turn the sandbox into your true userpage. No change of your signature required! No redirects! Tell me on my talk page if you accept, and also tell me what you want changed. Thank you! --FastLizard4 (Talk•Links•Sign) 00:39, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Hey, yeah, I'd love that. Thanks! If you are trying to consider a color scheme, by the way, I kind of like the colors that appear in my sig. Thanks again! Valley2city 05:36, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

OK. Just tell me a little about what you want done, and I will get started right away.

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Valley2cityhpsp.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Valley2cityhpsp.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 02:30, 25 September 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. CO₂ 02:30, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Hillel logo.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Hillel logo.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 22:50, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
