Another suggestion for MusikBot

I think MusikBot should remove the articles that have already been selected in the schedule. If an article has been scheduled multiple times, the bot could look at all the dates later than the second-to-latest time of an article's scheduling. Feel free to give some more ideas and response.

A few minutes later, I was also thinking about that moving the successfully nominated articles to the Articles for Improvement. Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) 07:57, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

If we remove those articles that has appeared at TAFI, then all articles at the list that has ever appeared at TAFI should be removed and move to wherever you decide. Regards.--BabbaQ (talk) 19:53, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

pinging @MusikAnimal: Schedule entries are presently archived here. The process appears to be manually performed at this time. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 23:45, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

Sure, that can be added to the weekly task, no problem. I am going to clean up that page to make it more easily parsable by the bot. @Qwertyxp2000: I'm not really sure what you mean with your first point. Moving successfully nominated articles to WP:AFI will be covered by the daily task, which I am still working on but should be ready soon — MusikAnimal ^talk 16:37, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

Umm... If an article is scheduled then remove any articles that are already in the Articles for Improvement. e.g. the Potato article is scheduled. Then the Potato article gets removed from the Articles for Improvement. Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) 19:36, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

Yep! The bot should do this moving forward, as with [1]. I see you removed Princess Leia, which predates the bot task so I guess no one had manually removed it. Once the so-called TAFIDaily bot task is up and running, you should not need to update the list of articles for improvement at all. — MusikAnimal ^talk 19:48, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

(I wish to remind everyone that MusikAnimal is a human being who has volunteered their time to help us, and not a bot-monkey, so please remember to make suggestions not demands. I'm not saying that's what happened in this particular thread, but I can see it potentially happening moving forward and I think it would be a great disservice to Musik. :) )--Coin945 (talk) 02:54, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for your kind words :) It is quite alright, for some reason I actually enjoy programming. This project is particularly rewarding because there's so much painstaking manual effort put into it that I get to automate for everyone. That allows us to focus on the articles themselves, and not worry about all the housekeeping. Once all the bot work is done I'll be out helping with the articles too, and I very much look forward to it! — MusikAnimal ^talk 03:55, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

Sorry for sounding so demanding, Coin945. Maybe I needed to reword myself first before sending anything that I send. :3 Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) 06:47, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

Qwerty, you were completely fine in this conversation. While reading this thread, I just had an uncomfortable flashforward to a dystopian future. Haha I'm probably overthinking things, but if I volunteered and over time started to see my role become like a servant rather than a contributor, I'd be annoyed, offended, and probably leave. So I decided to preemptively strike just in case. Glad we're all on the same page. :D--Coin945 (talk) 06:57, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
