McDefaultsort

Hi. After this edit I was wondering if AWB already implements Wikipedia:MCSTJR#Other_exceptions or not. -- Magioladitis (talk) 10:36, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

I found the answer and it's "no". I added a FR. -- Magioladitis (talk) 15:24, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

AWB & DEFAULTSORT (part XXXIV)

AWB is disccused in Wikipedia:Village_pump_(policy)#DEFAULTSORT. -- Magioladitis (talk) 09:53, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Lamu

Hi, I´m sure you are unaware of it, but with edits like this (where you "correct" the date in the name of a picture file)..you actually break the link to that picture. Cheers, Huldra (talk) 14:43, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

AWB bug. rev 6293 resolves it. Thanks Rjwilmsi 15:17, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

Modularization

So how hard would it be to modularize something like this? (The find and replace matrix... It would allow you to enter a value to replace "WikiProject Foo"... and turn on and off the "Biocleanup" and "Lower" regexen, and the Image, Low, High importance ones too (would also have one for mid and top).

Would not be difficult though the custom module cannot accept inputs as such, you can configure it to declare some variables at the top and include comments to direct users to set the values. Rjwilmsi 15:52, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Bug progress

What's the progress on this 'archived' bug? --Siddhant (talk) 09:53, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

No further progress. I have no solution for it at the moment. Perhaps Magiolatidis shouldn't have archived it. Rjwilmsi 09:56, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

MXW Pro Wrestling

Hi, I noticed that you contributed to the MXW page a while ago. I recently rewrote the entire article in greater detail and redirected the original entry to MXW Pro Wrestling. This article was recently nominated for deletion and I'm curious what your opinion of the expanded page is. Any help or constructive criticism you may be able to offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Demanufactured (talk) 07:09, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Andy Reed

Hi Rjwilmsi/Archives/2010. You were kind enough to edit Andy Reed earlier using AWB. Unfortunately there was a section on expenses which appeared libellous and I wanted to remove ASAP. Is there anyway I could ask you to redo it. If not, I'll go through it manually. Regards JRPG (talk) 23:48, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

"location"?

Hey man, I don't understand why you are adding the "location" parameter to references from the BBC website. The BBC is a national (some would say international) news service, and they mainly operate through a website, so I don't see why the "location" parameter is necessary. – PeeJay 00:06, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

It's per the {{cite web}}/{{Cite news}} documentation. You're right that they operate internationally but BBC HQ is in London, so any info from them may have a British perspective. Rjwilmsi 08:14, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

The {{cite news}} documentation merely says that the "location" parameter "should be included if the city of publication is not part of the name of the newspaper". Since the BBC is not a local newspaper, and BBC indeed stands for "British Broadcasting Corporation", I still do not see the need to include the "location" parameter. – PeeJay 22:50, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

I will (temporarily at least) suspend setting the location for BBC News cites, and will create a topic on the {{cite news}} talk page, as we disagree about the meaning of the documentation. Rjwilmsi 23:06, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Problem with citation maintenance edit

Hi, your recent edit to the New Zealand article seems to have broken the citation to a paper by David Lowe. It also seems odd to use a {{cite news}} template for the Sutton et al journal article, although I think it still displays okay. The third change you made (to the Lindsey and Morris reference) seems fine. -- Avenue (talk) 03:23, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Was an edit by citation bot (talk · contribs). bug reported over David Lowe change. I've manually fixed the article for the two errors. Thanks Rjwilmsi 07:41, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

You're not an admin???

Can I nominate you for adminship? I'm surprised you aren't already one. NERDYSCIENCEDUDE (✉ message • changes) 13:31, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
