Help

edit

Could you please remove unreliable sources from the article Pooja Hegde. Thesanas (talk) 09:03, 5 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Thesanas, I haven't worked on this article before, so I am not sure I am the best person to help. I'd suggest reaching out to one of the regular contributors instead. – DreamRimmer (talk) 07:58, 9 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
I need to promote this article to GA class. So, need to remove unreliable source and add reliable sources there. So asking your help. Thesanas (talk) 17:32, 18 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

NPP School Update

edit

Hello @DreamRimmer! I hope you're doing well. I wanted to check about the NPP School Program that I had joined. I had completed the first section of the NPP Exam on the 11th of November. However, it has been almost a month since I submitted my response, and I haven't received any comments from you. I understand that you may be occupied with real-life activities, however I spent a lot of time writing down my responses and I do not want it to go to waste. Therefore, I sincerely request you to review my responses. Thank you, TNM101 (chat) 10:04, 8 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the reminder! I will go through your responses tomorrow when I have some free time. – DreamRimmer (talk) 10:25, 8 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

INFOBOXIMAGE

edit

Hi DreamRimmer, I noticed that you removed the image I added to the infobox of Paul Begaud with a reference to INFOBOXIMAGE. Could you clarify the issue? I’d like to address it and ensure the image meets Wikipedia’s standards. Thanks! Everglass (talk) 23:19, 8 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Everglass, when adding an image to an infobox, thumbnails should not be used. You had used thumbnails in the infobox, so I fixed it. I later noticed that the file URL was invalid (a red link), so I removed it. Feel free to add a valid image again. – DreamRimmer (talk) 07:54, 9 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Query about a query

edit

Hello, DreamRimmer,

Do you remember, way back in October, when you first told me about your query to find G13 eligible drafts whose last edit was by a bot? Well, I ended up forking your query (see here). I hope that was okay but I realize that I should have asked you at the time. Well, I sometimes run this query, even though it was older and didn't include some bots like CommonsDelinker. Of course, GalaxyBot is the most up-to-date and efficient tool we have. But I still sometimes run this query in between GalaxyBot reports. It used to find some G13 eligible drafts but for the past week, it's come up with 0 results with every query I've run.

Is it no longer a valid query? Do you have something that is more up-to-date that I could use when I want to run a query on my own? Thanks for all of your help with all-things-technical. Liz Read! Talk! 06:09, 9 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

You will need to update the interval time from 184 DAY to 183 DAY in four spots in this query to get the current results. – DreamRimmer (talk) 07:41, 9 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
Okay, I will try that. Also, there seems to be a problem with GalaxyBot today, it hasn't produced reports for the past few hours. Thanks! Liz Read! Talk! 22:08, 20 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
Just an update, DreamRimmer, that GalaxyBot is still out of commission since yesterday. Liz Read! Talk! 08:11, 21 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Liz: thanks for the message. I am aware of this. Many bots, including GalaxyBot, are unable to edit due to maxlag. The relevant Phabricator ticket is T382625. Once this is resolved, it will automatically start working again. – DreamRimmer (talk) 08:18, 21 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Infobox US university ranking ARWU removal

edit

Hello, you recently removed ARWU_NU and ARWU_W from all relevant university articles to help with an AutoWikiBrowser task (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/Tasks/Archive_18#Category:Pages_using_infobox_US_university_ranking_with_unknown_parameters).

These parameters were actually restored (removal reverted) the next day in the "Template:Infobox US university ranking/doc" (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template%3AInfobox_US_university_ranking%2Fdoc&diff=1251171664&oldid=1250304292).

It seems like the actual intention is to only remove ARWU_NU and leave ARWU_W, based on the discussion at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Infobox_US_university_ranking#This_template_causes_articles_using_it_to_generate_undefined_references. Hotdogcat (talk) 04:58, 17 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

It was removed as per the AWBREQ request. I have no opinion on this, but please let me know if you need my help restoring it. – DreamRimmer (talk) 06:21, 17 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
Oh yes I would like to request your assistance to restore them, thank you! Hotdogcat (talk) 06:34, 17 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
Before doing so, I would like to see what Primefac thinks about this, as the removal was requested by them. – DreamRimmer (talk) 06:41, 17 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
I only requested on behalf of another editor; if discussion is needed, it should probably be on the template's talk page. Primefac (talk) 11:21, 17 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
Based on the template's talk page mentioned by user Primefac in their reply above (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Infobox_US_university_ranking#This_template_causes_articles_using_it_to_generate_undefined_references), it looks like at least ARWU_W should be restored (Mikecurry1 who first raised this issue most recently stated "The ARWU_W paratmeter would make sense to stay in the template because there is an actual ARWU worldwide ranking"). Hotdogcat (talk) 16:35, 18 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
  Done. Restored ARWU_W on 149 pages and skipped those with empty values. It was a challenging task because all the pages had been edited after my changes, so I had to write a complex script to restore it. – DreamRimmer (talk) 12:32, 19 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thank you so much! Hotdogcat (talk) 14:16, 19 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
Indeed, nice one. Yes, the reference error should have been restored.Mikecurry1 (talk) 12:48, 22 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Archiving my user talk page

edit

Hello! More than two months ago, you recommended I use an archiving scheme for my user talk page (linked here), rather than manually deleting old or stale discussions. I was wondering if you're still open for helping me set that up, on the condition that previously deleted discussions (only available through the user talk page's edit history) can also show up in the archive. Thanks so much for your time, and cheers to a new year :-). LR.127 (talk) 17:50, 22 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

@LR.127, It's time for bed; I'll set it up tomorrow. – DreamRimmer (talk) 17:57, 22 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
@LR.127: Done. I have created Archive 1 and moved all threads from the edit history into it. I have set up an archive config on your talk page, and a bot will now archive threads older than 10 days. The archive size is set to 175K, and it will keep 5 threads on the talk page while archiving a minimum of 2 threads at a time. If you'd like to adjust the configuration, please refer to Help:Archiving a talk page#Example with sequentially numbered archives. – DreamRimmer (talk) 14:43, 23 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
Oops, I forgot to wish you back! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2025 to you as well :) – DreamRimmer (talk) 14:46, 23 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
