Peer Review Suggestion

Hey AndyZ, awesome script, when the program does the auto-formatting per MoS, it replace can't to can not, and don't to do not. I'm not sure if it is possible but would it be possible to stop if from changing that when the words are inside "quotations". once again, i don't know if this is possible, just a thought.

Once again awesome script, DTGardner 15:42, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Peer Reviewer Installation

Hi there! For some reason, I'm unable to install the PR into my monobook.js file. I have inserted the line "{{subst:js|User:AndyZ/peerreviewer.js}}" and bypassed my cache over and over again, but the "peer review" button does not appear in an edit mode of an article. I'm very puzzled; there is no other script in my .js file, and I have repeatedly cleared my cache until I went insane. Could you help me? Thanks! --PostScript 15:44, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Questions

Hi Andy, there was a suggestion on Wikipedia_talk:Content_review/workshop, specifically here to modify the message left by the PR script from the current version to something like "A script has been used to generate a semi-automated review of the article for minor issues of grammar and house style. If you would find such a review helpful, please click here."

Also I was wondering if I should run the script on other PR pages (different Wikiprojects) or are these all transcluded on the regular WP:PR page? Thanks, Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 02:16, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I just ran the script as AZPR and noted the change - I think "house style" was wikilinked to WP:MOS in the original suggestion. Also I did the October requests first, then made the November PR/A page, then tried the November requests, but the auto link was still to the October PR/A page. What I am doing wrong? As for the auto transcluded PR requests from other projects, I will ask at Talk PR. Thanks again, Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 03:12, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In addition to wikilinking "house style", could you please remove the word "minor". See the conversation cited above if you want details ;-) Thanks, `Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 15:07, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Peer review script

I'm hoping you'll revisit this statement in the peer review script:

Consider adding more links to the article; per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (links) and Wikipedia:Build the web, create links to relevant articles.[?]

I'm encountering a lot of WP:OVERLINKing, perhaps because editors believe they need to add links ... just for the sake of adding links. I just finished delinking a lot of WP:OVERLINKing at Rotavirus, and the author got a peer review script telling him to add more links :-) Overlinking lately is as big a problem as underlinking, so perhaps you can refer to WP:OVERLINK.

Recommendation regarding peer review script

I would like to suggest that you remove this statement from the peer reviews: "There may be an applicable infobox for this article." Infoboxes are not mandatory and including this suggestion makes it seem like the article should have one. Editors should decide whether or not an infobox is justified. For a long time I thought infoboxes were required, although that isn't stated anywhere, simply because of scripts like this and templates that list whether articles have infoboxes or not. It seemed a natural conclusion to draw. I was surprised to discover that infoboxes were not required. Thanks. Awadewit | talk 11:07, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

User:AZPR/c

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your user subpage at User:AZPR/c, and I am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's user page policy. After you look over that policy, could we discuss that concern here? I'd appreciate hearing your views, such as your reasons for wanting this particular page and any alternatives you might accept.

There are several options available for resolving this matter:

If you can relieve my concerns through discussing it here, I can stop worrying about it.
If you decide to delete the page yourself, please add {{Db-userreq}} to the top of the page in question and an administrator will delete it.
If the two of us can't agree on what needs to be done, we can ask for help through Wikipedia's user pages for discussion, which may result in the page in question being deleted.

Thank you.--12 Noon ^2¢ 23:39, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:MikeNewell.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:MikeNewell.jpg. 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 (talk) 14:29, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AZPR tweak

Hi Andy, Peer Review has changed somewhat in that the reviews are now bot generated. The WP:PR page no longer has the reviews - they are now transcluded from User:VeblenBot/C/Requests for peer review. Would it be possible to make the AZPR script run on the VeblenBot page? I have been adding the notice to PR requests one at a time for now, but the batch "add notices" would be nicer / easier. Hope you have a Happy New Year, Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 18:37, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, just let me know if you are able to fix the script. If not, opening the reviews themselves one at a time still works fine. Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 16:46, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This was left on my talk page by User:Binarymoron. "Does the bot count "vague terms of size" that are within quotes too? If this is the case I have a good logic that can solve this problem, I am not familiar with programing languages other than C++ or VB so I dont know the coding in Perl or Python. Basically make the bot count all the double quotes before the word is encountered, if the number of counts(of double quotes) is even then the word is outside the qoutes and should be considered but if the number of counts is odd then the word is within the quotes and should be ignored." Thought it might be useful, Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 02:11, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Endashes

Can you add an endash check on the script? When I see an article like Peyton Manning appear at FAC, I just feel bad for all the work the nominator has to do to fix all those dashes. And can you get the script to detect when cite templates have an empty or non-existent publisher field? Filling in all those publishers at Peyton Manning will take a huge effort.

Hacked around in the code; deduced that this is a memory error (taking enough of MOS_format() "fixed" it; didn't seem to matter which parts I removed). Not sure how to tell Firefox to allocate javascript more mem, or whether this is a problem unique to my system (Firefox 2.0.0.12, Mac 10.4.11, 1GB Ram) or a leak in the script. --jwanders^Talk 07:14, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AZPR script change

Hi Andy, the semi-automated peer review script says that "years with full dates should be linked", however the MoS has been altered to make this optional within any given article - perhaps the script should be changed to just remove the notice in question?

Simple suggestion

The script should check whether an article has a category and suggest adding one if it doesn't. I guess that doesn't come too often, but I've just run it on an article w/out categories and discovered to much surprise the script ignored this problem. I am not sure if the script checks whether the last two elements of the article are categories and interwikis? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 18:13, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It seems to me someone has blanked your page. I've reverted it. Do not reply on my account page as not only is it blocked, but the talk page is protected and I am operating from my IP address. Also, who's compromised your account anyway, what does it mean and how has it affected you, and what is the Z standing for in AndyZ? (not Zajaczkowski, is it?)

The Reboot of Wikiproject New Jersey has certainly stirred up some new activity at the project. Discussion on several improvements and new initiatives have been going on at the talk page. There has been an involved discussion regarding our 104 unassessed articles, especially those on municipalities. The current goal is to review and assess all 566 New Jersey muncipality articles by September 30.
A suggestion has been made to intiate Wikipedia Takes New Jersey to begin clearing the large backlog of articles needing photos. Let's all grab our cameras and head out into the vast wilds of the Garden State. Town Halls, High Schools, Historic Places - every article deserves a picture.

New Jersey Collaboration news

New WPNJ members

WPNJ member Mm40 has volunteered to coordinate a new WPNJ Collaboration project. It's been a while since we used the NJCOTW and new volunteers are needed. Join the discussion to volunteer.

Battle of Trenton was recently proposed as a Featured Article candidate. It was not promoted, but has now been nominated for A-Class review through the Military History WikiProject. Take a look at their A-Class FAQ. As we need to set up our own process for reviewing A-Class articles, it may be worth watching the process.

Please welcome the following new members to WikiProject New Jersey:

Reboot progress report

Help Wanted

The redesign has been well received. There are still some things left to do. This newsletter was one big check mark off the list. Hopefully this can be continued on a regular basis. There are literally thousands of articles in Category:New Jersey that have not been tagged as part of the project, and stub sorting hasn't been run in 10 months. We will need to identify some friendly bot operators to help with these projects. An outreach department (which includes the newsletter) needs to be formalized. Creating an invitation template for easy placement on userpages will also be part of that effort.

There are lots of best practices described at the WikiProject Council with ideas of how to make our project more responsive, welcoming, active, and effective. Task forces? Peer review? Other ideas welcome!

Editor's Notes

I just wanted to say that the response to my bold makeover of WPNJ has been gratifying, but nothing will improve the project as much as more activity, and that means more members. There are lots of things to do in this new setup, and everyone with an interest should be able to find a way to contribute to the collaboration. I want to thank you all for the patience, the appreciation, and the effort. - Jim Miller

Automated peer review problem

I ran the peer review on Ardingly College and one of the issues was When writing standard abbreviations, the abbreviations should not have a 's' to demark plurality (for example, change kms to km and lbs to lb). I cannot find any examples within the article. However there is a 196 acre (0.79 km²). Is it possible that the ² is fooling the peer review, or is there a rogue measurement that I missed? Thanks.

The Maryland WikiProject has put together a great chart comparing the growth of several state WikiProjects, including WPNJ. Take a look at the chart to see how the growth of WPNJ compares to some of our peer projects. Please remember to place the {{WikiProject New Jersey}} tag on the talk pages of any New Jersey related articles you create or come across. You can also add the new articles page to your watchlist.
Some updates have been made to the NJ Portal, but much more needs to be done. If a few volunteers can put together Featured Article summmaries, we can automate rotating the portal content. The same can be done for DYK items. Please take a look and see if you can assist.

Wikipedia Release version 0.7

New WPNJ members

The Wikipedia 0.7 project team has chosen the New Jersey related articles that will be included in the next downloadable version of Wikipedia. You can review the list of selected WPNJ articles, check the articles tagged for cleanup, or nominate additional articles for inclusion.

Selection is an automated process based on article assessments. To help avoid vandalism and POV concerns, specific versions of articles can be tagged for inclusion in the downloadable release. See the New Jersey section of the bot results to recommend a production version. The process ends on October 20, and then a bot will select an appropriate version if none has been recommended.

Please welcome the following new members to WikiProject New Jersey:

Article News

Help Wanted

Both Jon Corzine and The Sopranos were promoted to Good Article status in the past month. No WikiProject New Jersey articles were promoted to Featured article status. Battle of Trenton was not listed as a Featured Article, and may need more editors to complete the remaining work to be promoted. Also, in an item that was missed last month, Thomas Edison was delisted as a Good Article in July.

The WPNJ Assessment Drive is ongoing. Please help assess all of the articles about places in New Jersey. There are currently 104 articles that have not been assessed.

Editor's Notes

Fall has arrived, and with it will come a rush of new Wikipedians. Inviting new editors to join WPNJ is easy to do, and can help us improve our New Jersey articles. Keep an eye out for editors who work on NJ articles who can help the project. The Wikipedia Release version project is in its final stages for the next version. Take a look at the article lists, cleanup where you can, and nominate articles that should be included on the DVD version of WP. Lets make sure that those who end up with a downloaded copy of WP get solid articles about New Jersey. - Jim Miller

PR bot, Raphael

Thanks for the review of Raphael at PR, which was mostly useful. However the first point made, on galleries, is just wrong, and the bot advice should be removed or heavily reworded for your future reviews. Small galleries within articles are acceptable in FAs - the test case for this was Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Robert Peake the Elder. In addition, WP:Galleries a) was never adopted (a point linking to a section completely obscures), and b) referred to the now-extinct Gallery-only pages, not internal galleries, which are often essential in visual arts subjects. You might caution against over-large or under-captioned galleries though. Thanks! Johnbod (talk) 12:12, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The bot runs daily, so add the new Article Alerts page to your watchlist, or just check the main project page to see the updates. See the Article Alerts project page for details on how the bot works and which processes it covers.

New Jersey on the Main Page

Help Wanted

No, not the state - the battleship! On October 15, USS New Jersey (BB-62) was the Featured Article on the Wikipedia main page. Featured articles receive heavier traffic when they are on the main page. Improving WPNJ articles to featured status can help drive more editors to our project.

Editor's Notes

Seems like a pretty light month in terms of activity at WPNJ. Personally, your editor was doing a lot of travelling and went on a wiki-free vacation for nine days. Time to dive back in and create some new NJ articles. - Jim Miller ^{See me | Touch me}
