List of French castles edit

To: User:M-le-mot-dit, User:Kaustuv, User:SlaveToTheWage, Talk:List of castles in France#Organisation of this list, Wikipedia talk:France-related topics notice board#List of castles in France - request for suggestions

List of castles in France: I have looked at the users' suggestions and comments and have made a new draft that I think could be the way forward. It uses the basic format drafted by User:M-le-mot-dit and the sort of layour used in the French Wiki.

My proposal, with notes and explanation is at User:Emeraude/Castles2.

Golubac fortress/General policy edit

Well, since you've targetted yourself for questions, here goes!

First off, there seem to be rather a lot of numbers for such a little bit of text based on the referencing I did for the article. Did I go overboard, and should just stick to numbers at the end of sentences, rather than also in the middle?

Also, I had a couple questions that I stuck on the talk page (except I imagine it's not a very high-traffic article, so who knows when it'll be seen). When sources disagree on dates, how is that usually dealt with?

In the process of finding sources and trying to figure out where the legend part should be, I also noticed that the majority of Golubac is taken word-for-word from the bottom of this page. What's done about things like that? Stick the site as a reference and note that it needs rewriting, or should it be deleted for copyright infringement, or? While deleting seems like the most likely, doing that would also turn the page into something completely useless.

Thanks! -Bbik 19:03, 29 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thousand-Article Anglicisation edit

Hello STTW. I would like to ask you for your input in this - literally thousands of articles have been sloppily "Anglicised" already (changing "région" for "region", for example, without modifying the phrase around it in the least to provide the proper context/meaning of the term) without any prior discussion at all, and one is continuing this rampage in spite of an ongoing discussion and WP:RFC about it. As you are major contributor to France-topic articles, so your input in this case is even important. Please help. You can find the discussion here. Thanks.

WPBiography project tagging (copied from here) edit

I came across STTWBot while {{WPBiography}} project tagging articles listed at DYK. Is it possible to modify STTWBot to assist me in tagging biography article talk pages with {{WPBiography}}? Thanks. -- Jreferee 16:02, 1 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

My bot currently has approval for tagging WikiProject France and WikiProject Germany only. Any change has to be approved at Wikipedia:Bot requests first. So when if you can wait then I could request for an approval and help you out, should take perhaps a week or so. STTW (talk) 16:52, 1 February 2007 (UTC)Reply
In my WPBiography tagging, I review the article for living, groups, etc, and then paste and then edit the following text according to my review of the article:{{WPBiography |living = yes no |class = |needs-infobox = yes |activepol = yes |a&e-work-group = yes |politician-work-group = yes |military-work-group = yes |sports-work-group = yes |s&a-work-group = yes |musician-work-group = yes |listas = |needs-photo = yes }} This string of text contains the most used WPBiography text and is useful for most articles. This may help you in configuring the bot. It would be nice to work with you on modifying the bot so I can get an idea of how bots are put together. -- Jreferee 17:03, 1 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Request made re WikiProject Spain edit

I've made the request for the bot described by you for WikiProject Spain. Just curious - how does the bot work? How can a bot know what's a Spain-related article or not? Plus, what happens next? How do we know if its approved? Full of curiosity -> EspanaViva 22:28, 1 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Your bot edit

Could you reprogramme your Wikiproject:France bot so it doesn't automatically add its project template to the top of the talk page above all other project templates? It's annoying for those of us in other projects who have created or worked hard on articles without any input from Project:France members to see those pages suddenly claimed for your project. By all means add your template if it's relevant, but put it after the existing project templates on the talk page please. Thanks. --Folantin 09:27, 2 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for looking into it. I have no problem with the Project France template appearing on any article relating to France, it's just the order of the templates that's a problem. Cheers. --Folantin 11:54, 2 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Tagging of Talk:Swiss French edit

Hi, your bot tagged Talk:Swiss French as being within the scope of Wikiprojet France; of course, no one will mind if the participants come and improve the page, but I thought you may want to doublecheck if this page should really be tagged as such. Swiss French refer to the particularities of the French language as it is spoken in Switzerland; there is a clear connection with French, the language, but not so clear with France itself. Cheers, Schutz 12:16, 2 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Tagging of Canadian articles edit

Hello. Your bot has been tagging articles related to Canada (mostly to Quebec) with the Wikiproject France tag. It is no more appropriate tagging these articles with the WF tag than it would be to tag United States with Wikiproject Britain. Could you please reverse the excessive and unnecessary tagging. Thanks. Skeezix1000 13:05, 2 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Your message edit

I regret I can't decipher your message: "There are many pages where this redirect was introduced by you today, could you also revert them." Revert what? If you are referring to the note about a redirect page left by User:Mikkalai on my Talk Page, I responded in full at the page he requested. If you or he disagree with me, by all means, please do a Wikipedia:Requests for comment.

P.S. – you should note User:Mikkalai warns not to leave messages on his Talk Page. However, his insulting a Wikipedia contributor is not only a violation of the Wikipedia:No personal attacks policy, but making unfounded assumptions as part of that attack is the conduct of an imbecile. --- Handicapper 16:28, 3 February 2007 (UTC) (MBA, CFA) Reply

WikiProject France tags edit

I have undone a number of the WikiProject France tabs added to talk pages by STTWbot (talk). They seem to have been added indiscriminantly to pages that have nothing to do with France: for example, Canadian, Belgian, Swiss, Moroccan newspapers, pages on Canadian literature, Canadian schools, as well as pages dealing with the French language, but outside France. I have corrected over 50 pages already. Can you do something with your bot to correct this error? Thanks. — Grstain | Talk 14:24, 2 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

In reply to your message on my talk page:
"Thanks for informing me, I will have a look again at the categories being tagged and revert the wrong ones. You need not revert the edits, just let me know the category and I will remove the wrong tag. Sorry for that! STTW (talk) 18:05, 2 February 2007 (UTC)"Reply
please note that it seems that you were tagging pages with such categories as French language, French-language literature, French-language newspapers, French language schools and French-English translators, all categories which may or may not be connected with France. Thanks. — Grstain | Talk 12:47, 4 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

I agree. I've removed the tag from L’amour de loin for example - in spite of the title, this is a work by a Finnish composer. Could you please fix the problems with the bot before you let it proceed any further. It isn't very discriminating and it still isn't respecting the order of templates already on the talk pages. Thanks. --Folantin 14:45, 2 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Just a note to say that I've removed the Wikiproject France tag which was (at the time, correctly!) added by the above Bot to the Talk page for I Lombardi alla prima crociata. I've hived off the detail about the considerably revised French version of the opera to Jérusalem, a stub that I've just created, and I've inserted the tag on the Talk page of the latter. --GuillaumeTell 17:14, 2 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Please do not tag Air France-KLM. This is an international holding company that doesn't even have 50% French ownership. The bot has been tagging lots of pages of this nature, such as CFM International. Please stop. —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 22:53, 8 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hi. In response to what feels like "inaccurate project france tagging" onto French-Belgian Project Comics articles, we did revert the first round of STTWbot actions (exclusively Belgian-related articles, shallow French connections) leaving be where there was a case for Project France interest, but now the bot has gone back and re-covered all its incorrect tracks. Any chance it can rectify this by itself, as it is boring and time-consuming to fix.. :( —MURGH disc. 05:52, 9 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

WikiProject France template - "importance" edit

STTW - is the "importance" section of the WikiProject France template working?-- NYArtsnWords 16:39, 9 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

The template is working, I corrected the error on Paris. Most probably that is why you contacted me. STTW (talk) 17:37, 9 February 2007 (UTC)Reply
No, actually is was in relation to the History of France page, among others... I set the importance there to "top", but it remains categorized as "importance unassessed". Unlike other templates, I have yet to see any of the WikiProject France templates indicate "importance", only "quality". --NYArtsnWords 23:52, 9 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Stride logo.jpg) edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Stride logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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.

Germany tagging edit

Thank you for your work with the stub categories! If you have good suggestions how we can organize the rest of the tagging work, I'd love to hear them (as I don't trust the category system, I'm tagging in a semi-automated way with my AWB account Kusma using AWB when I get around to it, but don't think we should tag several subcategories deep - this has resulted in lots of annyoances and trouble with other project tags). Are there any stub categories left or have you done all of them? Kusma (討論) 16:58, 5 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

I'm trying to do the tagging slowly and partly by hand, as that means I manage to get an "importance" parameter in when I have heard of the article's subject every now and then. Perhaps we should generate a category list and then have people tackle some parts of it? If you can create a category list, we could work from that. Probably the best place to discuss is the project's talk page, though :-) Happy editing, Kusma (討論) 17:26, 5 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Images and infoboxes edit

Hi! I'm slightly confused about what I've done wrong with wiki markup for one or the other of those. I added the city infobox to Kutná Hora yesterday, but the picture that was supposed to be at the start of the "Architecture" section, on the left, won't show until the very bottom of the infobox. I'm too impatient to wait for someone to come along and notice/fix it, so... Why's it doing that? I didn't notice any issues or special markup on other city pages that I checked when I tried to fix the problem, any idea what's wrong? Thanks, -Bbik 04:41, 7 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

France Inter edit

See Wikipedia:Template substitution. The radio stations project template is a textbook example of the kind of template that should be substituted rather than called. Bearcat 17:22, 10 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Both of those took place long before Wikipedia began to encourage substitution for templates. The way it was explained to me, server load can become an issue if templates are always called rather than substituted. Also, I don't particularly see what kind of expansion is likely on the radio station template. Bearcat 22:46, 10 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

NEMA connector edit

You changed [[USA]] to [[United States|USA]]. Note that you don't really need to do that; see Wikipedia:Redirect#Don't fix links to redirects that aren't broken, where it says:

In particular, there should never be a need to replace [[redirect]] with [[target|redirect]]. That is, there should be no need to replace a redirect with a piped link to the target if the description is exactly the same as the redirect title.
Some editors have the mistaken impression that fixing redirected links improves the capacity of the Wikipedia servers. Because editing a page uses much more resources than following a redirect, the opposite is true. It is inadvisable to worry about performance anyway.

Personally, I'd think that if following redirects was expensive, the MediaWiki developers would optimize it so that it wasn't expensive any more. I don't think there's any real reason why it needs to be expensive.

Image source problem with Image:AndhraBank logo.png edit

 
Image Copyright problem

This is an automated message from a robot. You have recently uploaded Image:AndhraBank logo.png. The file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:GautierBook.png edit

Thanks for uploading Image:GautierBook.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:26, 28 September 2007 (UTC) Reply

Orphaned non-free media (Image:HM-LOGO.gif) edit

  Thanks for uploading Image:HM-LOGO.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 15:23, 25 October 2007 (UTC) Reply

Music Today edit

Hi. I came upon the Music Today article which you created. But I'm not sure what it is about. I can't find information on that magazine. There is an Indian online music magazine - but the article doesn't appear to be about that - [1]. Is it this one - [2]? BuildControl (talk) 12:08, 27 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Have at look at the version which I made here [3]. Since then the quality and content of the article has changed considerably!! The article definitely needs a clean-up. --STTW (talk) 15:37, 27 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion of Solon SE edit

 

A tag has been placed on Solon SE requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. ╟─TreasuryTagcontribs─╢ 16:01, 28 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

It is a company listed on the TecDAX and ÖkoDAX, perhaps that makes it notable. --STTW (talk) 16:10, 28 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Re: Solon SE edit

Hi. Sorry, perhaps my tagging was a little hasty, however, I still tend to agree with my initial assessment. The article as it stands, is extremely short, providing little context. It is totally unreferenced, with no reliable third-party sources to establish any notability. While I daresay being part of the organisation you mention (I don't really understand economics!) does make it likely that it is notable, firstly, notability is not inherited from membership, and secondly, the article does not cite any sources asserting such notability.

Generally, it needs significant touching up, and I'm happy to remove the CSD tag if you wish to make changes along the lines above! Cheers, ╟─TreasuryTagcontribs─╢ 16:27, 28 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

No probs, wikipedia also needs hasty editors. Thanks for removing the CSD tag, happy editing. --STTW (talk) 16:39, 28 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Image copyright problem with File:ONGC Logo.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading File:ONGC Logo.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Remarkable Gardens of France edit

STTW, Thank you for your note. I enjoyed going thru the article on the Remarkable Gardens of France. I agree that when it gets too long, an article tends to be difficult to read, one reason being that other editors may decide to add to one section & the whole article becomes out of balance. The idea of making it on the model of the List of castles in France is excellent, and that could be the start of a collection using the same type of map, for food, climate, (wild) plants & animals etc. (which may already exist). All I can do to help is go thru texts, correct French & details when I fall upon something I know. I have put the article on my watch list. Aurevoir! Frania W. (talk) 19:15, 8 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Bot for WikiProject Egypt edit

Could u please make a bot for adding the {{WikiProject Egypt}} templates to the talk pages of Egypt related articles that are in Category:Egypt and it's subcategories. I have done more than a hundred yesterday which took me a lot of time and it would require a lot more if I continue to do them manually. Please consider doing them like your bot for WikiProject France and WikiProject Germany. It would save me a lot of time and would make WikiProject Egypt a lot better. Currently I'm instead of improving Articles I'm adding templates, which is time consuming and unrelated to the encycolopedic entries. Please help. Just a template saying that the article is there but unnaccessed or like the bot for WikiProject France it cheks for other quality and importance scales. your help is greatly appreciated and will be noted on the WikiProject Egypt main Page.

Thanks a lot. --Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 10:57, 27 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Which categories should be included? --STTW (talk) 17:51, 27 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

WP GER tagging edit

I noticed your bot is tagging for WP Germany. Would it be possible to piggyback tagging for Munich onto it. If the bot recognizes a Munich related article when tagging for Germany he would add |Munich=yes|MunichImp=}}? Agathoclea (talk) 22:00, 28 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Sure! Let me know that categories which you want to include? --STTW (talk) 11:55, 29 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
Category:Munich would do the trick. A bit more complex heuristic would be to recognize articles that have Munich mentioned in their lead at the time of tagging them for WP Ger. Agathoclea (talk) 12:30, 29 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
Thanks. One edit did not recognize that it was already tagged as it was a multiline template. Don't worry if it can't be fixed as I need to rate importance of all anyway, but you might want to get it done for similar runs later. (PS is it possible to add importance= to those where it is missing - only if you touch it anyway)? Agathoclea (talk) 14:09, 4 April 2009 (UTC)Reply
  Done - Fixed the regex typo. --STTW (talk) 17:49, 4 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Do you remember what you tried to achieve here? Obviously you were not looking at the article in question but possibly at another template which you wanted to tag at the time. Maybe you did that anyway or maybe that edit is missing. Agathoclea (talk) 22:02, 6 April 2009 (UTC) Found it! - Agathoclea (talk) 23:19, 6 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

BLP edit

How difficult would it be for your bot to spit out a list of all articles that are in Category:All unreferenced BLPs and are tagged for WP:Germany? Agathoclea (talk) 09:53, 21 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Yes should be possible, what needs to be done with the list of articles? --STTW (talk) 20:20, 21 April 2009 (UTC)Reply
At the moment there is a drive to delete unreferenced BLP. A lot of the older articles can be sourced quite trivially, but then again a non-German speaker might have problems understanding the German google results. So I'd rather we as a project give the list a once-over rather a combination of robot like taggers and deleters. Agathoclea (talk) 21:12, 21 April 2009 (UTC)Reply
The other point would be that if articles do get deleted the redlinks in that list will give an indication to go back and check at a later date to reinstate the articles with sources. Agathoclea (talk) 08:56, 23 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Disputed fair use rationale for File:Villeroy & Boch logo.svg edit

Thank you for uploading File:Villeroy & Boch logo.svg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.
