- I have read the various references and apologise for the disruption to your article in development. I think for most stable, mature articles the reference cleaning process is valuable. However, since it is too difficult to distinguish these, I'll go fix something different. welsh (talk) 20:32, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
- Hi, thanks. No hard feelings, i know that removing duplicate references has been a standard practice for a very long time, and i agree that the process is less impactful on mature articles. I hope that someone will come up with a method to lessen the impact on articles under development, perhaps by allowing greater selectivity. Richard Myers (talk) 21:38, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
Question about sorting of interwiki links
Why is Русиньскый sorted after Русский, as in this edit? —Coroboy (talk) 09:43, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
- The sort order used by AWB is defined at Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/IW, and is not alphabetical by iw code. I can't explain why that is! welsh (talk) 09:50, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
