Orphaned non-free image File:The Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:The Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:58, 2 October 2021 (UTC)

The main article uses this pic from: https://www.bcdb.com/cartoons/Hanna-Barbera_Studios/A-C/The_Amazing_Chan_and_the_Chan_Clan/ The Chan article is a 1950's- 60's children's tv cartoon show. It was on for one season then released decades-later on MOD DVD. The total audience would probably be rather small but the article seems to need a picture, one, at least for the benefit of younger readers. I'm just throwing this in as an option, in case an option is needed, don't know how things are working out for the above ^^. Missbellanash (talk) 00:34, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

Why me...! Missbellanash (talk) 00:09, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

@Missbellanash: Hi there! Looks like you meant to use {{reply to}} (or one of its redirects, like {{ping}}, not {{talkback}}. GoingBatty (talk) 00:41, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

Probably. This software does things it - shouldn't. Thanks! Missbellanash (talk) 00:52, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

The script

GB, thank you so much for fixing those glitches. I don't want to put you to this trouble any more. Ohconfucius says it due to script stalling during the edits, due to "server lag". I wonder why this has just begun to occur. And if I'm to continue using the script, I'll need to work out what to avoid when inspecting the diffs. Tony (talk) 22:32, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

@Tony1: I don't think "this has just begun to occur", as your edits were from 2018, 2019, and 2020 (e.g. this edit from 2018). Happy editing! GoingBatty (talk) 22:37, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

new logo needed, indian vandalism again. find my edit history — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.140.191.29 (talk) 00:13, 9 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi there! For the new logo, I suggest you post a request to Talk:I-League 2nd Division with a URL where the new logo can be found. I do not understand your claims of "vandalism", and your post at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism does not explain who the "vandal" is or what the "vandalism" is. Happy editing!

Bot request for Mosagallaku Mosagadu

Hi. Would you be able to run your bot/AWB to update links site-wide from Mosagallaku Mosagadu to Mosagallaku Mosagadu (1971 film), and make the former a dab and with links to the later and Mosagallaku Mosagadu (2015 film)? Thanks :) — DaxServer (talk to me) 10:04, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

And Devudu Chesina Manushulu to Devudu Chesina Manushulu (1973 film), and dab the earlier. Thanks. — DaxServer (talk to me) 12:40, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

And Kumara Raja to Kumara Raja (1961 film), and dab the earlier. I hope I'm not asking too much? — DaxServer (talk to me) 13:37, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

@DaxServer:  Doing..., but with WPCleaner as my favorite disambiguation software. GoingBatty (talk) 14:48, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

@DaxServer:  Done! GoingBatty (talk) 15:49, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

Thanks. Just installed to check it out, it seems to have a bit of a learning curve. Maybe I'll try it someother time. Meanwhile, could you also update links for Guru Sishyulu to point to Guru Sishyulu (1990 film). I've gone ahead, removed the redirect and created the dab :) — DaxServer (talk to me) 15:07, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

@DaxServer:  Doing... GoingBatty (talk) 15:49, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

@DaxServer:  Done! GoingBatty (talk) 16:44, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

Not sure if you already are aware that I have access to AWB, but my installation is broken and I hope to find some time to fix it :/ — DaxServer (talk to me) 15:13, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

@DaxServer: I wish you luck in getting it fixed. GoingBatty (talk) 16:44, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the runs :) — DaxServer (talk to me) 16:47, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

Moving a page to main space

Helo, how do I move a page from draft to mainspace Ebonyidaily (talk) 22:47, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

@Ebonyidaily: Hi there! You can add {{subst:submit}} to Draft:Promise Uzoma Okoro to request that your draft be reviewed for moving to articlespace. I've made some updates to the draft for you. GoingBatty (talk) 23:03, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

Someone has already moved the page to mainspace, thank you Ebonyidaily (talk) 08:18, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

• (talk page watcher) FWIW, the page was moved to main by its creator, apparently without AfC review; it also looks like an autobiography. Eagleash (talk) 11:20, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

Draft: Charles Williams

perhaps i am confusing myself having spent some time on this today. did you by chance look at or comment on the draft article? there are approximately 20 references from 3rd parties documenting notoriety including wikipedia's page of department of defense presidential appointments. Honorable Charles Williams retired navy admiral. appreciate your help.Flagship1 (talk) 02:20, 11 October 2021 (UTC) flagship1

@Flagship1: Yes I did, and I responded at Wikipedia:Teahouse#Draft article and at Wikipedia:Teahouse#Draft: Charles Williams. Happy editing! GoingBatty (talk) 02:52, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

Some one else reviewed this article and approved it for submission so i forwarded. Now i am confused. Is it in the system or not.Flagship1 (talk) 23:04, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

@Flagship1: Draft:Charles Williams is in the system as a declined draft. Please provide more information showing that "Some one else reviewed this article and approved it for submission", and explain what you meant by "i forwarded". Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 23:13, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

@Flagship: Oh, are you referring to the discussion at User talk:Flagship1#Still very wrong on referencing? It appears you thanked the editor, added unreferenced information, and then submitted the draft for review. The editor wrote "If Declined, the Reviewer will identify shortfalls", which I did. Happy editing! GoingBatty (talk) 23:18, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

Ok understand. Made reference changes requested by DavidnotMD and asked for another look.

after another review DavidnotMD approved but suggested adding a little more verbage but optional so Lebanon activity was added but now deleted. Looking for Legion Of Merit citation per your request to reference and will incorporate and can submit to you for a preliminary final review if you would.

Task 23 BattyBot

Just letting you know that BattyBot just tripped the spam blacklist 7 times with what I think is task 23. It's not the bot's fault, I believe most of these links were somehow added in another way or before it was blacklisted. Just wondering if you know of a way to circumvent this since the spam blacklist is disallow. Sennecaster (Chat) 02:25, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

@Sennecaster: Hi there! Thanks for letting me know! Could you please let me give me more details so I can see the list that you're seeing? Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 02:56, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

@Sennecaster: Oh - I see it now at Special:Log/spamblacklist when I search for BattyBot. Let me do some testing to see what I can do. GoingBatty (talk) 03:20, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

@Sennecaster: You are correct that BattyBot 23 was the culprit. I can see that BattyBot has triggered some of those same articles before. I manually changed the youtu.be link to youtube.com, and added the other domains to the bot's list of domains to skip. I'll add a reminder for myself to check the Spam blacklist log after running the bot task in the future. Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 03:44, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

Some baklava for you!

I appreciate your professionalism, you are a great guy, i have been on Wikipedia for 2years but decided to create a page two days ago about a young politician in Abia State Nigeria :Draft:Promise Uzoma Okoro, he is the current Deputy Chairman of Bende Local Government Area in Abia State Nigeria,am not related to him but have read his story online. Can you help me move the page from Draft to Mainspace? Ikoro20 (talk) 05:43, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

The page has been moved

Another user has moved the page to mainspace already Ebonyidaily (talk) 08:17, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Gigi De Lana

A tag has been placed on Gigi De Lana requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from the article namespace to a different namespace except the Category, Template, Wikipedia, Help, or Portal namespaces.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

AWB bot

Hi. Kindly stay online for a few more minutes, I am typing a message for you. —usernamekiran (talk) (guestbook) 15:47, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

@Usernamekiran: I am shivering with antici... GoingBatty (talk) 16:04, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi. I hope you are doing well. Sorry to keep you waiting. This the message:
Almost two years ago I faced that problem. I solved that problem by myself. Later, I had a BRFA too (Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Usernamekiran BOT 3). But then my computer died, and along with it, I lost all my data as well. My computer had died almost 1.5 years ago from now. I cant recall what I had done to rectify the problem? Can you help me please? Regards, —usernamekiran (talk) (guestbook) 16:13, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

@Usernamekiran: ...pation!  :-) For my bot task to add {{WikiProject Disambiguation}}, I loaded the entire User:Magioladitis/WikiProjects module into AWB, and then added the following code at the end (before return ArticleText;:

//Add {{WikiProject Disambiguation}} if doesn't exist
   Regex header = new Regex(@"\{\{WikiProject Disambiguation}}", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
   Summary = "";
   Skip = (header.Match(ArticleText).Success || !Namespace.IsTalk(ArticleTitle));
   if (!Skip)
       ArticleText = "{{WikiProject Disambiguation}}\r\n" + ArticleText;

I also have the "Apply general fixes" box checked. Hope this helps, and happy editing! GoingBatty (talk) 16:25, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

thanks for the help, doing trial edits in sandbox. I have the same code though. —usernamekiran (talk) (guestbook) 16:47, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

not working
If {{WikiProject Banner Shell| is present without the 1= parameter, then the project banner is being added outside the project shell. —usernamekiran (talk) (guestbook) 17:02, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

@Usernamekiran: Could you please give me an example? GoingBatty (talk) 17:04, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

special:diff/1049414619 thats the problem. I had solved it in the past, but I cant recall how. I am working on it again, hopefully I will find the solution again —usernamekiran (talk) (guestbook) 18:27, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

@Usernamekiran: I think the issue is that the Talk page general fixes work on article talk pages and not user talk pages. Do you have an example for the issue with an article talk page? GoingBatty (talk) 19:06, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

lol biggest ever facepalm moment for me. In May 2018 it didnt. Now it does. I should have tested it on actual talkpage before editing around the module. Thanks a lot! —usernamekiran (talk) (guestbook) 19:19, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for the tip in the Wikipedia Teahouse. Cwater1 (talk) 02:57, 16 October 2021 (UTC)

Hello can you please help me get my Ben Duracell Jones page accepted and published? — Preceding unsigned comment added by LaylaDakota (talk • contribs) 14:31, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

@LaylaDakota: Hi there! I helped by making some minor improvements and tagging those sections of Draft:Ben Jones (boxer) that are unreferenced. Either provide references that show where you read this information, or remove the information. If you have any conflict of interest, you must declare it on your user page. Hope this helps, and happy editing! (Please remember to sign your posts on talk pages by typing four keyboard tildes like this: ~~~~. Or, you can use the [ reply ] button, which automatically signs posts.) GoingBatty (talk) 15:10, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

THANKYOU!

FYI

 – Combined sections. GoingBatty (talk) 16:42, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

Hello thanks for getting back to me so i see you have highlighted some issues! these have now been fixed so hopefully now the article will be accepted! if its not will you be able to help me further with this? is there anyway i can privately contact you? LaylaDakota (talk) 16:05, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

@LaylaDakota: You don't have to create a new section header when continuing a conversation. If your draft is not accepted again, I hope the reviewer provides details for you. If not, feel free to reach out to them for those details. I prefer to have all Wikipedia conversations on Wikipedia. Happy editing! GoingBatty (talk) 16:50, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
