Donabate

Chris, thank you for the edits on the article Donabate. Were these from a bot you wrote or did you do them yourself? Either way thanks, they helped improved the article. Dwellings (talk) 13:33, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

TENNIS Magazine

Chris, a while back you moved Tennis Magazine to Tennis (magazine)...but now I am finding that TENNIS Magazine (which is a redirect) is the actual name. Wanted to give you a chance to comment before I propose a move; also not sure how to move a page over a re-direct; then replace the redirect...? -- Mjquin_id (talk) 16:16, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Third-party request concerning AWB

Chris, I wonder whether you can answer this user's question on my talk page. Know anyone who's good at setting up AWB? You yourself? I'm not sure AWB can be trained to avoid titles. Tony (talk) 12:38, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

  • Hi Chris. I'm the person asking. I think it may be possible to avoid titles because I think there may be a way to say replace it when it is followed by a space or a number, but not when it is followed by a letter, using regular expressions, something I'm not fully conversant in. That should cut out a number of false positives, shouldn't it? Anyway, let me know if I'm making any sense at all, or how I can better explain the issue so we can see if there is a work-around.

    • Thanks, I'll have a bash. It's the writing the regex stuff that I can;t get my head around at present. Hiding T 13:42, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
