Yeti (application)

Hello! I hope all's well. I wanted to thank you for reaching out in regards to the Yeti (application) page. I deleted the content of this page (which I wrote) because Yeti is a company, not an application. I am working to get the page redirected to a company page. I am still relatively new to this, though, so any and all help would be greatly apppreciated. Thanks.Imarapaholic (talk) 19:10, 29 May 2015 (UTC)imarapaholic (talk)

Bots


You are receiving this message because a technical change may affect a bot, gadget, or user script you have been using. The breaking change involves API calls. This change has been planned for two years. The WMF will start making this change on 30 June 2015. A partial list of affected bots can be seen here: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2015-June/081931.html This includes all bots that are using pywikibot compat. Some of these bots have already been fixed. However, if you write user scripts or operate a bot that uses the API, then you should check your code, to make sure that it will not break.

What, exactly, is breaking? The "default continuation mode" for action=query requests to api.php will be changing to be easier for new coders to use correctly. To find out whether your script or bot may be affected, then search the source code (including any frameworks or libraries) for the string "query-continue". If that is not present, then the script or bot is not affected. In a few cases, the code will be present but not used. In that case, the script or bot will continue working.

This change will be part of 1.26wmf12. It will be deployed to test wikis (including mediawiki.org) on 30 June, to non-Wikipedias (such as Wiktionary) on 1 July, and to all Wikipedias on 2 July 2015.

If your bot or script is receiving the warning about this upcoming change (as seen at https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages ), it's time to fix your code!

Either of the above solutions may be tested immediately, you'll know it works because you stop seeing the warning.

Do you need help with your own bot or script? Ask questions in e-mail on the mediawiki-api or wikitech-l mailing lists. Volunteers at m:Tech or w:en:WP:Village pump (technical) or w:en:Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard may also be able to help you.

Are you using someone else's gadgets or user scripts? Most scripts are not affected. To find out if a script you use needs to be updated, then post a note at the discussion page for the gadget or the talk page of the user who originally made the script.

Ulrich date of birth - source?

Dear Dewritech. Recently you have edited the english page about Ulrich von Jungingen Teutonic Order great master. There you changed birth data from "1360" to "6.01.1360".

AWB

Hi Dewrittech, I was wondering why you made this edit to Veganism, apparently to fix the spelling of nevertheless, but it's already okay. You're not the first editor to do this, so I've been wondering whether there's something odd (to AWB) about the way that word is written. Sarah (talk) 18:53, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

I added a comma.-- Dewritech (talk) 18:58, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
Okay, thank you. I was going by the edit summary: "clean up, typo(s) fixed: Nevertheless → Nevertheless." Also, when you next do this, could you switch off whatever causes the references to move (assuming that's possible)? Sarah (talk) 19:14, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
AWB sorts references by numbers.-- Dewritech (talk) 19:25, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

And I've also found you changed 2000's back to 2000s with comment "...using AWB", then sentence you changed now represented like below

What does "2000s" mean? The first decade of 21 century? or the same meaning of 2000's with a different form? With either situation, 2000s NT 5.0 kernel is an ill representation, at least it does not look like English. Fairnessfighter (talk) 23:03, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

Take a look at WP:DECADE and WP:CENTURY, no ambiguity with 2000s.-- Dewritech (talk) 13:33, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
Nein, nein, es verstehst du nicht. There is nothing wrong with WP:DECADE, WP:CENTURY and 2000s, but you might get it wrong. The original sentence,

,

wants to refer the definitive year (2000) rather than the first decade of 21st century, because one year later (2001), NT 5.1 was brought up with Windows XP, which that article really talks about. Fairnessfighter (talk) 16:00, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
Latest release of NT 5.0 was in 2005. But you might be right.-- Dewritech (talk) 20:19, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

John Sculley Edit (Sorry if this is in the wrong place)

I edited the Personal Life section of John Sculley (former Apple CEO) about a month ago, adding detail on previous divorces etc. Last week, a user named 'Truthnik' has removed the previous marriages from the info bar as well as the pending lawsuit by an ex-wife among other edits. User 'Truthnik' does not seen to have any other contributions beyond editing this page.

Please check for vandalism, as I lack confidence that the edit is legitimate.

Thanks for notification. I reverted the unexplained removal.-- Dewritech (talk) 20:03, 23 September 2015 (UTC)


I am John Sculley's wife and the information you added was gossip. It is not factual and therefore does not belong on wikipedia and I would appreciate your leaving his wikipedia as is. Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Diane0524 (talk • contribs) 21:02, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

Dewritech, why do you keep changing my entries? Your info is heresay, gossip, not true

This is diane0524 Diane0524 (talk) 22:23, 27 September 2015 (UTC)


Mrs. Sculley, regardless of whether or not it is true, the fact remains that your predecessor filed a lawsuit. It is not gossip in any way that your predecessor //filed a lawsuit in court// regardless if her allegations are true. PS: It's spelled "hearsay" not "heresy"


Dewritech, thanks for the acknowledgement. The history of edits reads like a temper tantrum. Mrs. Sculley insists upon removing her husband's lawsuit, previous spouses etc. I can keep editing it back in and edit the article in full of all the edits, if it makes it easier for you guys. Thanks for your hard work.

Lufthansa name meaning & sanskrit language

Basic premise of my below mentioned paragraph is Sanskrit language is basis of German Language. Do you know about this fact??? Answer me on this fact.

"As a whole, the Word Lufthansa is made of two words: 'Lupth' and 'Hansa' which are two Sansrkit words meaning Disappearing swan or a crane (bird). The logo was designed by Dr. Otto Firle and when he designed it he was thinking of a swan or a crane(bird) and "free as a bird" so that's how he came up with the logo. When an aeroplane service first started in Germany, the aircraft they employed in service were pure white, resembling huge white swans. When these aeroplanes would fly into the sky and grow slowly smaller and disappear, they would look like swans disappearing into the heart of the sky. In Sanskrit, the word that could describe them was lupth-hansa, or the hidden swan and that's the correct meaning. German language grammer has foundation of Sanskrit language. Sanskrit language originates in India used for depicting its ancient manuscripts. It is also said that best computer algorithms are made though Sanskrit language. No language in the world competes Sanskrit in terms of vocabulary. French, German, Dutch, Spanish, Latin scripts have their origins rooted in Sanskrit". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.79.169.180 (talk) 22:07, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

Regarding my changes to the Spatial anit-aliasing page

Hello Dewritech, you wrote: >> I noticed that you made a change to an article, Spatial anti-aliasing, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! <<

I don't have a citation. The page I edited had a code snippet that I tried to use but it didn't work. I debugged the problems myself (which is why I have no citation) and updated the page with what I found. The two problems I found were:

1) without the "1 - " that I added, the algorithm was saying that a point at 5.3 for example is 30% close to 5 and 70% close to 6 which is backwards. Without my changes, you can notice unsightly discontinuities in the result. With my changes, the output looks as it should.

2) the second change I made is explained in the Note I added so I won't repeat the explanation. Quite simply, you can't allow points that have small components at a given pixel, wipe out the large components that are already there due to other points. If you do that (as the original algorithm instructs), you end up with a very dark, completely wrong picture.

I don't know how to contact the original authors of the page, but I would bet if you ran my changes by them, they would agree.

Thanks.

Intereconomics

Dear Dewritech,

I have noticed that you have decide to classify Intereconomics as a maganize. But as stated in Springer (the publisher), it is a journal: http://www.springer.com/economics/policy/journal/10272?countryChanged=true

And if you see the classification in here: http://www.lib.sfu.ca/help/research-assistance/format-type/scholarly-journals you will see that it is not necessary that a journal is peer-reviewed to be a journal (for example: "•The majority of scholarly journals go through the peer-review process, although there are some that are scholarly and non-peer reviewed, such as Journal of financial econometrics."(I am guessing that that is the reason why you changed from journal to magazine. If it is because something else please tell me).


Here you can also see the difference between a peer-reviewed journal and a journal that is not peer-reviewed: http://guides.library.cornell.edu/c.php?g=31867&p=201759

I really don't know how to edit in Wikipedia due to my limited knowledge on webpage editing but I live in the Philippines (where the Mitula link you provided redirects) and am very sure that Toyota only offered gasoline-powered engines in the Avanza. A diesel was supposed to be offered in the Indian market model but the [Toyota India website] points that the Avanza's launch didn't push through.

Your reversal of my edit under Raylan Givens - Depiction

Concerning your reversal of my edit on Elmore Leonard's comments on Timothy Olyphant's portrayal of Raylan Givens. You wrote to me: ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ April 2016

Hello. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Raylan Givens has been undone because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Dewritech ___________________________________________________________________________________________________

My response: Read what you wrote. Whatever the source material Leonard was quoted as he was describing his opinion of actors & a director as they related to the characters he had thought up and heard in his head. You wrote:

"My favorite character is Raylan. Raylan’s perfect because there are not many actors who have delivered the lines the way I heard them when I was writing them. George Clooney was close, and Tarantino was faithful. Richard Boone was in two movies of mine, and every word he said was the way I heard it when I wrote it. I think it’s great.[6]"

'Raylan' is the character and as Leonard himself would probably have said, he is not a perfect person. Also not an ACTOR, as Mr. Leonard then refers to ACTORS Clooney & Boone and their depictions of his characters. His referral is to Olyphant (as the ACTOR)and his 'perfect' portrayal of Givens. (see Below) Either a sentence was dropped or the referral to 'Raylan' was erroneous in that regard. It made no sense especially in light of the subsequent description of other actor's portrayals of his characters, and that is why I changed it.

Second: The link to that quote is erroneous. I found nothing found there that describes the notation.

Here is a link to a CORRECT quote, in the Christian Science Monitor:

http://www.csmonitor.com/Books/2012/0118/Elmore-Leonard-on-Raylan-and-Justified

It reads as follows:

"On how his approach changes because of the TV show: That didn’t bother me because as soon as I met [Raylan] in earlier books, I liked him a lot. He just seemed to work. He seemed easygoing, but serious, too.

But seeing him now [as a TV character] just reinforces my feeling about it. That he’s the guy. [Timothy Olyphant] is probably the best one to do one of my characters. [The late actor] Richard Boone would recite the lines exactly the way I heard them, he was in a couple of movies [based on Leonard works], but this guy’s perfect. He’s the good guy. Richard Boone was always the bad guy."


I changed it because it didn't read right. And after you're reversal it took me a moment but I found a article where Elmore Leonard speaks of actors and their portrayals of his characters as he wrote and 'heard' them in his head.

I will change it back.

Allied Masonic Degrees

As I explained in the previous reversion of your edit, the title "Sovereign Master's Degree" is a title. Therefore, it is capitalized. It is not a typo. Do not revert it again. MSJapan (talk) 18:54, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing.-- Dewritech (talk) 11:39, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

AWB edits

Hi there. Just pointing to your attention a couple of your semi-automated edits that created errors instead of fixing them:

  • [4] "William Payman" isn't a misspelling of "William Payment", this is the guy's name. Payman is a common Persian given name and surname.
  • [5] "the first six second member" doesn't refer to members that are six-seconds long, but to the fist six of a series of "second members".
  • [6] "hta" wasn't a misspelling for "hat" but for "heta".

These have been corrected now. As these edits produced nonsensical text, they could have been easily avoided by a quick look at the sentence in which they were made. Feel free to remove this message from your talk page. Thanks! Uanfala (talk) 21:14, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

Was too fast. Thanks for fixing.-- Dewritech (talk) 11:39, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of medical schools in the Middle East, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page UCM. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Incorrect AWB edits to "hsa"

Hi, on Graphics Core Next you have three times changed the text "hsa" to "has". "hsa" is correct there, and it's had to be reverted each time.

Do you have any way of detecting when one of your AWB-based edits has been reverted (or partially reverted) and being more careful on that page in the future? Or some other way to make sure you don't repeatedly make the same wrong edits? dolphinling (talk) 01:57, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

@Dolphinling: I don't think Dewritech will have an easy way of figuring out one of their edits was reverted unless, when undoing, you don't discard the automatic undo summary. But I think there's a more general solution here (and I'm just repeating something I've touched on in an earlier thread here) – AWB users are expected to have a look at the diffs before saving their edits, this way any "typo fixes" that produce nonsense would be spotted. After all, this is the whole point of semi-automated editing. If it were sensible to completely automate typo fixes like these, they would have been handled by a bot and there wouldn't be any need for AWBers to spend their time on them. Uanfala (talk) 16:23, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for notification. You're right. I reviewed my last 10,000 edits and Graphics Core Next was the only article with this (double) mistake. Thanks for fixing!-- Dewritech (talk) 09:30, 25 June 2016 (UTC)

Native American vs. native American

Just a heads up that there are situations, albeit rare, where the word "native" before "American" should not be capitalized, such as in "the native American tree sparrow species" (here); therefore, the automated change from "native American" to "Native American" should be reviewed for context. Cheers, Deli nk (talk) 16:57, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

Be careful

This edit was wrong. The concourse is new, not "New". Ground Zero | t 02:14, 4 August 2016 (UTC)

Pearl Jam + AWB

Hi. This is about the third time you've made this edit to the article - it's not a typo. More info can be found here. Thanks. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 10:12, 6 August 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for notification! You're right.-- Dewritech (talk) 10:26, 6 August 2016 (UTC)

Quick request

Is there a way to have AWB ignore typos in links that go to articles (as opposed to going to redirects), or piped text that matches the name of the linked article, when you're fixing spelling? My request arises from this edit; you were fixing occurrences of "embarras", but you accidentally changed the spelling of the Embarras River (Illinois), which really does have this spelling. Thanks! Nyttend (talk) 18:22, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) I think there is a solution and that is to do what AWB users are meant to do anyway: inspect the context before saving an edit. If it were sensible to skip this step, making such typo corrections would have been relegated to the bots ages ago. Uanfala (talk) 18:32, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
Well, AWB's typo fixing feature is supposed to only be used if you're willing to check every edit before you save it. And if you're making mistakes like that, then you clearly didn't check the edit first. Omni Flames (talk) 22:52, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

De Rosee Sa

Hi there, I have not finished editing the page yet. The project I named "The Little Hall" was designed around the writings of Roald Dahl, who based his book "Matilda" on the school. The practice were shortlisted for Building Design's Young Architect of the Year Award this year which is also a significant accolade for a small practice. Perhaps you can reconsider? Thank you!

Too-speedy tagging

Thanks for patrolling new pages, a vital and under-appreciated task, but please don't tag newly created articles with WP:CSD#A1 or WP:CSD#A3 too soon after creation. While things like copyright violations and attack pages need to be tagged at once, new contributors often put in a word or two and then click "Save page" to see how it looks: it is discouraging and BITEy if a speedy-deletion template pops up at once. For incomplete articles like Aliqasimjaffery just now (which you tagged only two minutes after creation), you should make a note of the title and wait at least 10 - 15 minutes before tagging. See {{uw-hasty}}. There is general advice about new page patrolling at WP:NPP, and about speedy tagging at WP:10CSD and WP:A7M. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 18:18, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

Careful with the AWB

In this diff from July, you changed a company name "ind.ie" to "ind.i.e." using AWB. Do keep an eye out for that sort of thing while using AWB in the future. AWB does make mistakes. —Tom Morris (talk) 16:52, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

What the hell is wrong with you?

and yes, that's there to get your attention. Three times you have been told not to make changes on Allied Masonic Degrees with AWB, and yet you've done it anyway, introducing errors into the article as a result, because you don't actually understand what you're editing. If you can't use the tools properly, don't use them. I see it again, you're going to ANI for WP:CIR. MSJapan (talk) 19:30, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for your eager comment. I added a hidden comment there.-- Dewritech (talk) 11:38, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

Not improvements

Some (a minority) of the edits you are making are not actually improvements. For example I have just partially reverted two of your edits, on Lebanese pound and Franc. Please could you stop making large numbers of unreliable edits.---Ehrenkater (talk) 15:11, 29 October 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for your comment. As for my edit on Lebanese pound you may want to read Conjunctive adverb#placement; as for my edit on Franc you may want to read MOS:CAPS#Anglo- and similar prefixes.-- Dewritech (talk) 16:15, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

Sting in the Tail

What I did was remove non notable blogs from the review section. They aren't reliable sources and don't belong in the article. 2602:306:C5E9:B450:1427:2307:C266:D1C9 (talk) 15:20, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

Learn policy before blindly reverting IP addresses because you have a large ego. 2602:306:C5E9:B450:1427:2307:C266:D1C9 (talk) 15:33, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

You don't create consensus to add unreliable sources. It isn't incumbent on me to discuss removing policy violations first. Please remove yourself from the situation as clearly your ego won't allow you to see clearly. 2602:306:C5E9:B450:1427:2307:C266:D1C9 (talk) 15:48, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
You may want to read WP:CON and WP:SILENCE as the content you removed has been undisputed since September 2012.-- Dewritech (talk) 15:53, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
I am familiar with WP:CON as I showed before. You cannot gain consensus to violate policy. Those links are blogs that are not reliable sources. The fact that nobody removed them before now doesn't mean they shouldn't have been removed. Those same links were removed from other articles in the past which belies your erroneous belief that something sitting there long enough magically becomes reliable. 2602:306:C5E9:B450:1427:2307:C266:D1C9 (talk) 16:06, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
These blogs are cited in many other articles. Therefore, discuss your removals.-- Dewritech (talk) 16:11, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 05:46, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
