Hi Suncreator, great work on tagging, but two things about [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dag_Hareide&action=historysubmit&diff=359367836&oldid=359268832 this one]. Firstly you wound creating a duplicate tag, when you looked at it in preview both tags would have looked the same. But more importantly if you change unreferenced to unreferencedBLP its important to tag it with the current month and year - otherwise you could wind up adding articles into the backlog.

:Indeed, sorry. when I made that edit I thought {{tlx|BLP unsourced}} and {{tlx|Unreferenced BLP}} where two different tags. I was thinking that {{tlx|BLP unsourced}} was {{tlx|BLP Refimprove}} i.e {{tlx|Refimprove}} for BLPs. But the wording is not reference improve but total unsourced. More then a bit confusing, and I got confused. Since late May 1, I been using {{tlx|BLP unsourced}} see => [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&offset=20100501233128&target=SunCreator here]. Regarding the date I understand the categorisation problem but not sure it's correct to remove the date. If a living person has been incorrectly tagged as <nowiki>{{Unreferenced|date=July 2007}}</nowiki> to change it to {{tlx|Unreferenced BLP}} and then let it be labelled <nowiki>{{Unreferenced BLP|date=May 2010}}</nowiki> is in itself somewhat problematic. Because it would indicate the article is unreferenced since May 2010, but in fact it's unreferenced since July 2007. Anyway to resolve that issue I am no longer amending {{tlx|Unreferenced}}, but adding a second {{tlx|BLP unsourced}} only instead.

Please help

as English is not my native language, and I do not have a big experinece of particp[ation in English wiki, as well as I am from the country that has expensive inetrnet connection (so I could allow my slef to visit wiki only few times a week) may you help me to organize Talk:Deletion Wars ? (Idot (talk) 02:45, 25 April 2010 (UTC))[reply]

It is not a topic that has my interest. Regards, SunCreator (talk) 02:53, 25 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Это не тема, которая имеет свою заинтересованность. Regards, SunCreator (talk) 03:09, 25 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Kade Weston

Thanks for the heads up. I have added more info and some sources. I hope that means it will no longer be up for deletion. --Tocino 18:11, 25 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for adding a reference. BLP prod now removed. Regards, SunCreator (talk) 17:19, 25 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that! I usually thought that the two sections were more or less one in the same. Patken4 (talk) 18:49, 25 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Christ Myth Sandbox

Hi - creating a Sandbox page for a fully protected article is fairly standard practice - it will be deleted again when the page is unprotected. Best, Black Kite (t) (c) 17:29, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Typo fixing

Hello Suncreator, I noticed this edit to a FA I wrote. Were you just looking for those two typos, or are there others you can look for? My work can be typo-prone, so if you could check for other mistakes, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks! —Ed (talkmajestic titan) 03:02, 28 April 2010 (UTC) [reply]

Okay, in progress. Will look at your last 5000 contributions and this list of articles. Regards, SunCreator (talk) 15:21, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
By the way RegExTypoFix is checking for about 3500 plus different typos. Yesterday I checked the FA North Carolina class battleship as I ran the check through all the current Featured articles. Regards, SunCreator (talk) 15:28, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
54 unique articles checked, two articles found with typos that are now fixed. Regards, SunCreator (talk) 15:59, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, it appears that my typing is better than I thought. :) Thanks very much, —Ed (talkmajestic titan) 17:18, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I reverted your edit as the festival is called the "Inbetween Time Festival of Live Art and Intrigue", not "In between", as per the reference.[1] –– Jezhotwells (talk) 21:19, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thanks for letting me know. Regards, SunCreator (talk) 21:22, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Quite a few reference are available on article. Do you still think it is still it should contain {{BLP sources}} ? Viral sachde (talk) 18:18, 29 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's fine now :) Regards, SunCreator (talk) 18:23, 29 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Typo Fixing

I'm doing a Typo Fix with AWB. It involves creating a list in AWB of articles with potential typos and then manually checking before applying each change. Due to the number of edits it's likely I'll make a mistake or two. If I have, feel free to revert the edit. It would be nice if you let me know what the issue is also so I don't repeat the mistake. Many of the edits involve changing 'etc' to 'etc.' as recommended by Manual of Style (abbreviations), although I do them with caution as many times it tends to break a sentence. If that is the issue consider rewording the sentence.

Progress:

Prod removal

Hi, I've just done a merge that you deserve an explanation about as you've recently edited the article. See Talk:Uluç Bayraktar. Cheers ϢereSpielChequers 17:17, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I see one of the articles merged is prior to the 18 March WP:STICKY date. Regards, SunCreator (talk) 18:31, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please see the history of the article: one edit before you added an unreferenced BLP tag, a rather inexperienced newbie IP editor removed the one source which verified the one statement I had left in the article. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 02:17, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thanks for helping out; I saw the categories you added. I have little hope for Ms. Horton's long-term wiki career, but at least I wanted to let her have a fair shot. I don't think a speedy A7 applies anymore either, but if you wanted to prod it I couldn't disagree. Thanks again, Drmies (talk) 02:22, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, looks good now. Regards, SunCreator (talk) 02:23, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Typo fixes: "ie"

Watch out with this one: "ie" is the country code for Ireland, and a lot of their websites use that as the domain. "Fixing" that could break the link. Just a heads up.  f o x  10:24, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

AWB should avoid those if it's in an http string / template. Shadowjams (talk) 22:21, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it does wokr okay for any www.like.ie because of the dot in front of the ie. I only had only time ie was an issue and that was on an article about domain names. Regards, SunCreator (talk) 22:32, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What are you using...

What script are you using to add ‎({{BLP unsourced}} template added) to all of those articles? Shadowjams (talk) 22:20, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No script, good old copy & paste, i.e pressing Ctrl-v! Regards, SunCreator (talk) 22:23, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for taking an interest I'm using AWB to locate articles, then mass opening them(with (ctrl-A), right click - open in browser) then they all get loaded into Firefox tabs. Then checking each page - and dis-guarding some(close tab), select edit and past {{BLP unsourced}} and same in the edit summary which Firefox thankfully suggests is '{{BLP unsourced}} add template' from a previous save. All rather simple but effective none the less. Regards, SunCreator (talk) 22:38, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the explanation. That's interesting. I'm considering working on a few API related projects so I'm asking around if I see something similar to try and pick people's brain for ideas. Shadowjams (talk) 04:52, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Just make sure you check the article completely - this edit was to an article with a reference clearly listed. Not inline, not online, but a reference none-the-less.The-Pope (talk) 16:54, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Your right, a reference after the end of page template. I do check the whole page, but that one I missed. Thanks for correcting. Regards, SunCreator (talk) 17:22, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]


Dupes

Hi Suncreator, great work on tagging, but two things about this one. Firstly you wound creating a duplicate tag, when you looked at it in preview both tags would have looked the same. But more importantly if you change unreferenced to unreferencedBLP its important to tag it with the current month and year - otherwise you could wind up adding articles into the backlog. ϢereSpielChequers 20:37, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, sorry. when I made that edit I thought {{BLP unsourced}} and {{Unreferenced BLP}} where two different tags. I was thinking that {{BLP unsourced}} was {{BLP Refimprove}} i.e {{Refimprove}} for BLPs. But the wording is not reference improve but total unsourced. More then a bit confusing, and I got confused. Since late May 1, I been using {{BLP unsourced}} see => here. Regarding the date I understand the categorisation problem but not sure it's correct to remove the date. If a living person has been incorrectly tagged as {{Unreferenced|date=July 2007}} to change it to {{Unreferenced BLP}} and then let it be labelled {{Unreferenced BLP|date=May 2010}} is in itself somewhat problematic. Because it would indicate the article is unreferenced since May 2010, but in fact it's unreferenced since July 2007. Anyway to resolve that issue I am no longer amending {{Unreferenced}}, but adding a second {{BLP unsourced}} only instead. Regards, SunCreator (talk) 22:15, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
