Pattani (region)

[edit]

Hello, Jutiphan. I was wondering if you could state on the talk page of the Pattani (region) article what you think is inaccurate. I am not saying that it is accurate, as I have not even read the article yet. I saw the disputed template and checked the talk page, but found nothing. If editors do not identify the problems they have with the article when adding a disputed or a non-neutral POV tag, it is far less likely that they will be fixed. Thanks, Kjkolb 17:06, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:ThaiConstitutionRoyalEndorsement.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:ThaiConstitutionRoyalEndorsement.jpg. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Sawadee krub, I removed this from catfish as it is actually Sheatfish (family Siluridae) --Melanochromis 01:23, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely. I'm glad to help. I usually monitor fish articles in Thai wiki every once in a while and did an interwiki cleanup several weeks agoa. :-) --Melanochromis 01:42, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship

[edit]

Please stop your bot from modifying this page. The interwiki links are transcluded as part of a seperate "Front matter" template, and so your bot is misplacing the link. It has done this and been reverted three times already. Dragons flight 19:58, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Apologize for this. I have added the code to stop the bot from doing so. --Jutiphan | Talk - 20:03, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Why do you feel the need to put Thai links on an ENGLISH wikipedia? Jezebel Parks 22:30, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not exactly sure what you mean. Normally I or my bot would add interwiki links. See WP:INTER for more info. --Jutiphan | Talk - 22:41, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

interwiki

[edit]

Your bot seems to be sorting interwiki by the two letter code. On the English Wikipedia, they are sorted by "order of alphabet, based on local language". See meta:Interwiki sorting order for more detail. Thank you. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 07:44, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Based on the information at Wikipedia:Interlanguage_links#Sorting, sorting by 2 letters code is acceptable. I also feel that the ordering in this area is not conclusive yet based on my own findings from Wikipedia:Language_order_poll --Jutiphan | Talk - 06:34, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding this in case someone else come, BotKung now adjusted the code for English Wikipedia to order by alphabet based on local language a long while back --Jutiphan | Talk - 18:31, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Moving pages

[edit]

Thank you for the offer of assistance. Yes, I definitely need your help.

My renaming proposal fell through (got reversed), and I've had to move the pages back.

I've moved some of them, but there are still some left.

Could you move all of the subpages of Wikipedia:WikiProject Topical outlines to Wikipedia:WikiProject Lists of basic topics?

The Transhumanist 19:21, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

P.S.: I'll be making another rename proposal soon, and once there's consensus on it, I may need your help again.

Hi... I don't see any pages that require to be moved anymore. Let me know the category containing such pages if I did miss something. --Jutiphan | Talk - 05:21, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This[1] edit of your bot was incorrect, and also resulted in interwiki pollution of corresponding Wikipedia pages in other languages. Where did it get such a crap? Incnis Mrsi (talk) 09:07, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why don't you just ask the ones who added them here. BotKung simply uses the more updated version of interwiki links from English Wikipedia. So the crap is from English Wikipedia. Clear enough? --Jutiphan | Talk - 09:08, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hellp Jutiphan.

I have blocked your bot, since it is malfunctioning. See [4], [5], [6], and [7].

There may be more similar ones, I am not sure.
When you have figured out the problem, you may contact me or any other administrator to get your bot unblocked.

Regards,

J.delanoygabsadds 23:24, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unblocked. Cheers! J.delanoygabsadds 14:23, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bot malfunctioning

[edit]

This bot is malfunctioning. Instead of just adding the th interwiki link to List of D.N.Angel characters, it reverted to a months old version of the article[8]. It did this on several other articles as well[9][10][11] -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 18:31, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have blocked this bot; it's clearly malfunctioning, and all of its recent edits appear to be removing content or making inappropriate reversions.Iridescent :  Chat  18:45, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, when your bot added the Thai inter wiki to Haeinsa, it deleted a huge amount of information.[12] I think you gotta check your bot.--Caspian blue 14:28, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah it just broke Bird-of-paradise also. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:18, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

BTW I tried to notify your Thai WP account but everything I did just got a warning in Thai that I was trying an inappropriate action! Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:31, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked your bot. Dougweller (talk) 09:03, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for the delay. Apologize for the issue. Due to POST issues for the 3-4 days couple of days ago, I rewrote the save function, however unable to test properly making it not support saving changes for large articles. I have since stopped the bot, continue the development to fix the issue, and tested on Thai Wikipedia and it is now working correctly. Please unblock the bot so that it can continue to operate as normal. If there is any future issues that happen again, please report issues to th:user talk:Jutiphan Thanks!!! --Jutiphan | Talk - 16:54, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A proposal to de-authorize a group of idle interwiki bots on the English Wikipedia is currently in process. A bot account of yours has been included in the list. If you are no longer using this bot, no action is neccessary by you.

HTTP, HTTPS and bots

[edit]

Hi (here too)! Soon (June 12) all traffic to Wikimedia sites and API:s will need to go over https:// instead of http://. It seems your bot BotKung is still using http://.

There's more information. here. If you need help updating your bot, maybe that mailing list or w:en:Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard might be good places. /Johan (WMF) (talk) 22:15, 29 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite

[edit]

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/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 South East Asia, Japan/China or India 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. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 04:56, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Northern Khmer Vowels

[edit]

The bot BotKung keeps changing Northern Khmer vowels at Thai Wikipedia page ภาษาเขมรถิ่นไทย. Sequences such as <PHINTHU, SARA I> are being reduced to just <PHINTHU>. How do I stop this happening? RichardW57 (talk) 09:43, 26 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have fixed the issue. Thank you for letting me know and please feel free to leave messages on my Thai Wikipedia Talk page --Jutiphan | Talk - 05:21, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. Presumably the comment <!-- nocleanup --> applies to the whole page. Is it possible to apply it to a smaller portion of the page? --RichardW57 (talk) 07:21, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately not. The issue is regarding automatic fixing of misplaced vowels in Thai language. This is currently the best possible solution in this specific scenario. --Jutiphan | Talk - 01:30, 12 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Highlights for this newsletter include:

ARBCOM
  • Nothing of note happened. Just like we like it.
BAG

BAG members are expected to be active on Wikipedia to have their finger on the pulse of the community. After two years without any bot-related activity (such as posting on bot-related pages, posting on a bot's talk page, or operating a bot), BAG members will be retired from BAG following a one-week notice. Retired members can re-apply for BAG membership as normal if they wish to rejoin the BAG.

We thank former members for their service and wish Madman a happy retirement. We note that Madman and BU Rob13 were not inactive and could resume their BAG positions if they so wished, should their retirements happens to be temporary.

BOTDICT

Two new entries feature in the bots dictionary

BOTPOL
  • Activity requirements: BAG members now have an activity requirement. The requirements are very light, one only needs to be involved in a bot-related area at some point within the last two years. For purpose of meeting these requirements, discussing a bot-related matter anywhere on Wikipedia counts, as does operating a bot (RFC).
  • Copyvio flag: Bot accounts may be additionally marked by a bureaucrat upon BAG request as being in the "copyviobot" user group on Wikipedia. This flag allows using the API to add metadata to edits for use in the New pages feed (discussion). There is currently 1 bot using this functionality.
  • Mass creation: The restriction on mass-creation (semi-automated or automated) was extended from articles, to all content-pages. There are subtleties, but content here broadly means whatever a reader could land on when browsing the mainspace in normal circumstances (e.g. Mainspace, Books, most Categories, Portals, ...). There is also a warning that WP:MEATBOT still applies in other areas (e.g. Redirects, Wikipedia namespace, Help, maintenance categories, ...) not explicitely covered by WP:MASSCREATION.
BOTREQs and BRFAs

As of writing, we have...

  • 20 active BOTREQs, please help if you can!
  • 14 open BRFAs and 1 BRFA in need of BAG attention (see live status).
  • In 2018, 96 bot task were approved. An AWB search shows approximately 29 were withdrawn/expired, and 6 were denied.
  • Since the start of 2019, 97 bot task were approved. Logs show 15 were withdrawn/expired, and 15 were denied.
  • 10 inactive bots have been deflagged (see discussion). 5 other bots have been deflagged per operator requests or similar (see discussion).

Bots Newsletter, December 2021

[edit]
Bots Newsletter, December 2021
BRFA activity by month

Welcome to the eighth issue of the English Wikipedia's Bots Newsletter, your source for all things bot. Maintainers disappeared to parts unknown... bots awakening from the slumber of æons... hundreds of thousands of short descriptions... these stories, and more, are brought to you by Wikipedia's most distinguished newsletter about bots.

Our last issue was in August 2019, so there's quite a bit of catching up to do. Due to the vast quantity of things that have happened, the next few issues will only cover a few months at a time. This month, we'll go from September 2019 through the end of the year. I won't bore you with further introductions — instead, I'll bore you with a newsletter about bots.

Overall

  • Between September and December 2019, there were 33 BRFAs. Of these, Green checkmarkY 25 were approved, and 8 were unsuccessful (Dark red X symbolN2 3 denied, Blue question mark? 3 withdrawn, and Expired 2 expired).

September 2019

Look! It's moving. It's alive. It's alive... It's alive, it's moving, it's alive, it's alive, it's alive, it's alive, IT'S ALIVE!
  • Green checkmarkY Monkbot 16, DannyS712 bot 60, Ahechtbot 6, PearBOT 3, Qbugbot 3 · Dark red X symbolN2 DannyS712 bot 5, PkbwcgsBot 24 · Blue question mark? DannyS712 bot 61, TheSandBot 4
  • TParis goes away, UTRSBot goes kaput: Beeblebrox noted that the bot for maintaining on-wiki records of UTRS appeals stopped working a while ago. TParis, the semi-retired user who had previously run it, said they were "unlikely to return to actively editing Wikipedia", and the bot had been vanquished by trolls submitting bogus UTRS requests on behalf of real blocked users. While OAuth was a potential fix, neither maintainer had time to implement it. TParis offered to access to the UTRS WMFLabs account to any admin identified with the WMF: "I miss you guys a whole lot [...] but I've also moved on with my life. Good luck, let me know how I can help". Ultimately, SQL ended up in charge. Some progress was made, and the bot continued to work another couple months — but as of press time, UTRSBot has not edited since November 2019.
  • Article-measuring contest resumed: The list of Wikipedians by article count, which had lain dead for several years, was triumphantly resurrected by GreenC following a bot request.

October 2019

November 2019

Now you're thinking with portals.

December 2019

In the next issue of Bots Newsletter:
What's next for our intrepid band of coders, maintainers and approvers?

  • What happens when two bots want to clerk the same page?
  • What happens when an adminbot goes hog wild?
  • Will reFill ever get fixed?
  • What's up with ListeriaBot, anyway?
  • Python 3.4 deprecation? In my PyWikiBot? (It's more likely than you think!)

These questions will be answered — and new questions raised — by the January 2022 Bots Newsletter. Tune in, or miss out!

Bots Newsletter, January 2022
BRFA activity by month

Welcome to the ninth issue of the English Wikipedia's Bots Newsletter, your source for all things bot. Vicious bot-on-bot edit warring... superseded tasks... policy proposals... these stories, and more, are brought to you by Wikipedia's most distinguished newsletter about bots.

After a long hiatus between August 2019 and December 2021, there's quite a bit of ground to cover. Due to the vastness, I decided in December to split the coverage up into a few installments that covered six months each. Some people thought this was a good idea, since covering an entire year in a single issue would make it unmanageably large. Others thought this was stupid, since they were getting talk page messages about crap from almost three years ago. Ultimately, the question of whether each issue covers six months or a year is only relevant for a couple more of them, and then the problem will be behind us forever.

Of course, you can also look on the bright side – we are making progress, and this issue will only be about crap from almost two years ago. Today we will pick up where we left off in December, and go through the first half of 2020.

Overall
In the first half of 2020, there were 71 BRFAs. Of these, Green checkmarkY 59 were approved, and 12 were unsuccessful (with Dark red X symbolN2 8 denied, Blue question mark? 2 withdrawn, and Expired 2 expired).

Listeria being examined

Issues and enquiries are typically expected to be handled on the English Wikipedia. Pages reachable via unified login, like a talk page at Commons or at Italian Wikipedia could also be acceptable [...] External sites like Phabricator or GitHub (which require separate registration or do not allow for IP comments) and email (which can compromise anonymity) can supplement on-wiki communication, but do not replace it.

We heard you like bots, so we made a bot that reports the status of your bots, so now you can use bots while you use bots

Conclusion

  • What's next for our intrepid band of coders, maintainers and approvers?
  • Will Citation bot ever be set free to roam the project?
  • What's the deal with all those book links that InternetArchiveBot is adding to articles?
  • Should we keep using Gerrit for MediaWiki?
  • What if we had a day for bots to make cosmetic edits?

These questions will be answered — and new questions raised — by the February 2022 Bots Newsletter. Tune in, or miss out!
