11:12:17, 7 June 2015 review of submission by Lianeya


Lianeya (talk) 11:12, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi there!

Thanks for your feedback and review.

Can you give me some examples of "Encyclopedia Facts" that pertain to writing an entry on arts/culture organizations? Thanks!

It would be great if you could also find the time to supply an example of a successful entry for a young but solid creative organization ~5 years old and expanding....

Thanks again.

  • how did you edit michael Jackson bioJmosley95mjj (talk) 04:55, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
  • I have used a tool called Findargdups to remove a duplicate arguement on the page, which was the title of one reference, but one duplicate of the same part of the reference was blank, so it told me where to find the blank "second" title and I removed it. this category lists all of the articles using duplicate arguments and thus are able to be fixed by Findargdups. See this page on how to use this tool and put it into your common.js script. The Snowager-is awake 06:58, 6 June 2015 (UTC)

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.

Username

I don't believe my username violates the username policy. I don't think "damn" is a very bad word (maybe if you're under 8), but my first name is "Adam" and I used to watch Dora the Explorer when I was little. That's how I got the username. What about OhDoradarnit? OhDoradammit (talk) 08:43, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

My mom gave me a nickname when I was very little: "Doradam." OhDoradammit (talk) 08:44, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
  • This states the definition of the last 6 letters spelling the word, and Wiktionary also classes the word as profane. A change in username would be recommended, wouldn't it? The Snowager-is awake 02:18, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
