Wished we had more WP editors like YOU, deserving many barn-stars

Joe - This is to truly THANK YOU (see below). To get going after the recent turmoil, I have updated and submitted "neovandalism" project as final for review, assuming it will eventually be deleted, and happy to accept any outcome, and added the note: "This project was discussed heavily both now and 3 years ago. I agree it is a highly controversial topic and may be perceived with high level of sensitivity, and understand that it is high risk for deletion, and I am happy to accept the outcome trusting the judgement by balanced and fair editors such as C.Fred and JoeSperrazza. Thank you for the opportunity.". I am still working on the BO-diabetes project and have already revised it rather extensively and will try to prove its notability and exceptional significance in a few days and will submit. I wished more WP editors were like you, Joe and Fred, and thanks. S.Burntout123 (talk) 20:16, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

In appreciation of your vigilance and concern for the treatment of Wikipedia editors/users! Iryna Harpy (talk) 23:38, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi, JoeSperrazza. I truly appreciate your removal of the vitriolic personal attack on my own talk, but I don't delete comments there as I prefer to have them archived for future reference should there be an incidence in the future where it may be useful to retain instances of language usage, and any other tell-tale signs that the same user has returned (should there be need of an SPI, for example).

I am, however, very grateful for your concern and decency, and am more than happy for you to revert vandalism to my actual user page. Cheers for your considerate removal of the offensive comment. I'm sure that a lot of editors (particularly newcomers) would be happy to know that an experienced editor is looking out for them. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 23:41, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

Wiki labels edit quality campaign kickoff.

Hi JoeSperrazza! We're officially kicking off the Wikipedia:Labels campaign for edit quality. You should be able to load the interface by going to Wikipedia:Labels and clicking "Install the gadget". Once you've installed the gadget, the "Install the gadget" button will be replaced by the "campaigns" listing where you can request worksets from "Edit quality (20k random sample, 2015)". The software is still a little rough around the edges. We'll be on the look-out for your bug reports & feature requests throughout the week. I'll post progress reports on the campaign talk page. Thanks for your help and let me know if you have any questions. --EpochFail (talk contribs) 05:52, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

style query: ten minute → ten-minute

Hi Joe,

Looking at your recent revision of the page Be-Bop Deluxe... I wasn't sure whether your talk page was the right place to post, but I've posted here because I think this is probably more an issue of style than of content.

Firstly, thanks for cleaning up some references I've put in, great improvement.

Secondly, I've a query about another change you've made in the same edit.

Quote:

Latest revision as of 00:25, 15 June 2015: ten minute → ten-minute, 40 year → 40-year

I don't understand why you've added in the hyphens - I don't believe they should be there. Please explain why you believe they're needed. I'd like to know your reasons.

(I'm not going to hit undo as that would lose the cleaning up of references you did, which is an improvement. But my gut feeling is, take these two hyphens out.)

Thanks,

Alterations (talk) 01:09, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for the very nice note. See http://www.grammarbook.com/punctuation/hyphen, rule 4:

Rule 4. Hyphens are often used to tell the ages of people and things. A handy rule, whether writing about years, months, or any other period of time, is to use hyphens unless the period of time (years, months, weeks, days) is written in plural form

This seems to apply to the examples given. These rules are just one of many documented at Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/Typos JoeSperrazza (talk) 01:35, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi again Joe, thanks for this.

I stand corrected; one lives and learns.

I subsequently spotted another 40 year you missed, in the discography; have now hyphenated that too.

Bots


You are receiving this message because a technical change may affect a bot, gadget, or user script you have been using. The breaking change involves API calls. This change has been planned for two years. The WMF will start making this change on 30 June 2015. A partial list of affected bots can be seen here: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2015-June/081931.html This includes all bots that are using pywikibot compat. Some of these bots have already been fixed. However, if you write user scripts or operate a bot that uses the API, then you should check your code, to make sure that it will not break.

What, exactly, is breaking? The "default continuation mode" for action=query requests to api.php will be changing to be easier for new coders to use correctly. To find out whether your script or bot may be affected, then search the source code (including any frameworks or libraries) for the string "query-continue". If that is not present, then the script or bot is not affected. In a few cases, the code will be present but not used. In that case, the script or bot will continue working.

This change will be part of 1.26wmf12. It will be deployed to test wikis (including mediawiki.org) on 30 June, to non-Wikipedias (such as Wiktionary) on 1 July, and to all Wikipedias on 2 July 2015.

If your bot or script is receiving the warning about this upcoming change (as seen at https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages ), it's time to fix your code!

Either of the above solutions may be tested immediately, you'll know it works because you stop seeing the warning.

Do you need help with your own bot or script? Ask questions in e-mail on the mediawiki-api or wikitech-l mailing lists. Volunteers at m:Tech or w:en:WP:Village pump (technical) or w:en:Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard may also be able to help you.

Are you using someone else's gadgets or user scripts? Most scripts are not affected. To find out if a script you use needs to be updated, then post a note at the discussion page for the gadget or the talk page of the user who originally made the script.

I'm fed up...

... with the whole pile of nonsense associated with editing here. Disruptive editors get treated very sensitively (I guess WP:AGF is a suicide pact), but trying to help gets you criticism. Why do I bother? JoeSperrazza (talk) 02:29, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
