== Another big move job for TolBot (13A) ==

If you're up for it, I have another 5425 files to be moved per the closed RM discussion at [[Talk:1912 World Hard Court Championships – Mixed Doubles]].  The list is linked there.  Can you put in a bot approval request based on that?  And maybe you can give me some tips on best ways to use AWB for the cleanup edits for the districts and these.  I'm a relative novice at regular expressions, and end up spending too much time with manual checking to avoid errors that I have a hard time coding for (like in File: names among other things). [[User:Dicklyon|Dicklyon]] ([[User talk:Dicklyon|talk]]) 00:09, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

:@[[User:Dicklyon|Dicklyon]]: Yes, I can handle this. I'll put in a request right after I handle this batch; the trial's just been approved, so I'll run the trial today. I'm no regex whiz, but the nice thing about AWB is that it's {{em|semi}}-automatic — you can see the edit before you save it and check that it's correct. In general, for regexes, I try to use words to figure out what I want to search for, and then translate it into a regex.

=== TolBot 13 ===

Why is ProcrastinatingReader the approver, and why so slow?  Are there others we can ask to help move these forward? [[User:Dicklyon|Dicklyon]] ([[User talk:Dicklyon|talk]]) 02:57, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

:@[[User:Dicklyon|Dicklyon]]: Bot approval is not a particularly quick process. Any BAG member can approve the bot; ProcrastinatingReader just happened to be the one who approved it for a trial. I'm thinking of making an OAuth tool for mass edits that runs on people's accounts, so that it doesn't have to go through a bot. It'd be a web-app similar to AWB.

::Stumbled across this. Bot approval is indeed not a fast process, but there can be generalised bot approvals for these kinds of tasks (see the bots with general authorisations to implement TfD decisions). If you end up doing this stuff frequently, general approval to implement mass-RMs is probably something to look into. I imagine it's not much of a problem as long as the operator demonstrates the ability to know when the appropriate [[WP:CONLEVEL|level of consensus]] has been met (as well as possessing technical ability). Would suggest around five individual mass-RM-move bot tasks first though. [[User:ProcrastinatingReader|ProcrastinatingReader]] ([[User talk:ProcrastinatingReader|talk]]) 20:53, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
Not sure if you're just taking a break but the tennis mass-move has stopped at about 85% completion. Just checking that this isn't unintentional, as the templates can't really be updated till the job is 100% complete.

:@[[User:Sod25|Sod25]]: Yep; everything's fine. I was running it (I occasionally check on it as it runs), and saw that it had thrown an error that the database was in read-only mode (code <code>readonly</code>, waiting for 7 lagged databases).

Hello, I have proposed the update of the entry on Sumer, by re-phrasing the whole first paragraph of the subsection "Fall and transformation". First, I have added more relevant source for the soil salinity issue and added the sentence about the shift of Euphrates bed as a possible reason for the abandonment of most Sumerian cities.

== Can TolBot do JWB-style cleanup edits? ==

See [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tennis#Cleanup edits]].  I've got a pretty reliable set of replaces now for the tennis articles.  Still under review, but good as far as I can see so far (maybe not complete, but few or no false positives in the downcasings).  There are nearly 17,000 relevant articles, not just the ones moved by Task 13A.  [[User:Dicklyon|Dicklyon]] ([[User talk:Dicklyon|talk]]) 04:44, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

<!-- Start of message -->
Hi Tol, thank you for taking your time to review my draft. First, i'll like to find out if it's the notability of the person or the verifiability of the article that is the issue, because you seem to mention all three. Secondly, I would appreciate your help in pointing out what makes this article look like an advert or what makes its tone not to be neutral. I took out time to proofread over and over, i also used several software to check the neutrality of the article before putting out the draft, i would appreciate any help as it would make me be a better writer. 

<!-- End of message -->[[User:Thatnsukkaboy|Thatnsukkaboy]] ([[User talk:Thatnsukkaboy|talk]]) 14:50, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

:@[[User:Thatnsukkaboy|Thatnsukkaboy]]: I think that there's a good chance that Oduala Rinu is notable, and I don't think that notability is your main concern. I think you should be focusing on improving the [[WP:neutral|neutral]]ity of the article. Some examples of problematic non-neutral phrases are: {{ulist|"become a key player"|"to make a lasting impact"|"comes from a close-knit family"|"important pillars in her life"|"aims at creating change"|"people contributed massively"|"gruesomely murdered"|"She became a strong voice"}} There are also problematic quotes: for example, the ones at the top and bottom of [[Draft:Oduala Rinu#Campaigns|§ Campaigns]] ("At 22, Oduala … walks the walk" and "What I will not … the first place") are unsourced ([[Wikipedia:MINREF|all quotes need references]]), and there are too many quotes from her (she's a [[WP:primary source|primary source]]). In addition, the grammar needs improvement. I hope this gives you an idea of what needs improvement. If you have any further questions, please let me know!

== About a proxying warning ==

About the [[WP:PROXYING|proxying warning]] [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User:Factsforsure44/sandbox&diff=1071878039&oldid=1071873960 here], myself (not an admin), I would leave that issue alone for now. I urge you '''not''' to look at the article and talk history for ''[[Katherine Delmar Burke School]]''. It is a lengthy, mind-numbing morass of IP ineptitude, unbridled enthusiasm, and repeated blind, head-long rushes into Wikipedia editing culture. To sum up:
*The multiple IPs (the same person) caused a lot of tumult, though not maliciously
*There was no intent to obscure or deny they were the same editor, or to evade blocks
*The editor simply didn't want to register an account, and the IP switched around for whatever reason
*They've always edited in good faith, though it was extremely disruptive
Finally registering as 'Factsforsure44' is a good step:
*It could be looked upon as a fresh start
*It makes it easier for the rest of the community to address them. During the fracas, I left messages on different IP talk pages, with advice, not warnings, and all were responded to in good faith (if not heeded)
*They are pouring their efforts into a sandbox, which is a perfect place to contain them
Part of the problem was that they thought they could fundamentally rewrite the whole school article. Edits on the article and especially on the talk page (the [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Talk:Katherine_Delmar_Burke_School&oldid=1071273559 last version before protection] being here; and I told you '''not''' to look), demonstrates they were trying to use it as an erasable white-board for notes, drafts and discussion about the article. I don't expect their good faith efforts will result in any of the changes they wish, but that personal sandbox is a good place for them to work things out for the time being, as they go through the Wikipedia university of hard knocks.

'''That the multiple IPs are now editing under one registered account is to be seen as a blessing.''' Sincerely,   <small><sub>''signed'', </sub></small>[[User:Willondon|Willondon]] ([[User Talk:Willondon|talk]])  21:11, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

== Copyright violation - how to police? ==

I saw your edits to [[Draft:Songkran Phrapradaeng]] and removal of translated copyright stuff.  No question - this was the right thing to do.  How may I follow suit?  How do we detect that some piece is a machine translation of a copyrighted work?

:@[[User:Chumpih|Chumpih]]: I assume you know about [[toolforge:copyvios|Earwig's copyvio detector]], but am mentioning it anyway just in case; it works well for most copyvios but won't detect translations. In this case, I didn't notice the copyvio myself — I noticed the [[Template:Copypaste]] tag at the top, and investigated. I just opened the URLs listed in that template, and copied their content into [[Google Translate]]. Then, I put the Google Translate window and the Wikipedia window side by side, and scanned the Wikipedia draft for wording which was suspiciously similar to the Google Translate results. I don't know of any tool which automates checking for translation copyvios; I just do it manually with Google Translate.
