The category project[edit]

I am adding category links to pages, as part of an experiment for supporting a soon-to-be-relased feature of the Wikipedia software. The category links are invisible, so will not be seen in articles, but are I hope self-explanatory.

Categories assigned so far (no particular pattern to this):

  • metrology (just the page "UTC" for now)
  • time period
  • cryptology
  • physics
  • chemistry

more to come

Please note: this is an unofficial personal project. Please direct any complaints to User talk:The Anome.

Note: Category edits are currently stopped.

I notice that you added a "Physics" category tag to How Archimedes used infinitesimals, and then removed it. I don't think that article is primarily about physics at all. It applies some ideas of physics to geometry; the latter subject is the goal. Michael Hardy 18:56, 7 Sep 2003 (UTC)

I noticed recently a large number of category tag removals; what is the rationale for this? Waveguy


They were causing annoyance to other users who had certain skin options enabled. So I took them out. When the software has been adjusted to stop junk appeating in the article body, I'll put them back in. -- The Anome 21:59, 12 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Article Licensing[edit]

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Source code for this bot?[edit]

I want to write and run a bot to perform simple tasks. I was gonna start with adding user pages to a user category. I figure if i can do that i can figure out how to do other stuff too. I've been looking around some bot pages, but not having any formal or extensive knowledge of programming, networks or the internet, I'm still not sure what to do. I can't seem to find source code for simple bots to modify, and even if i wrote a bot, I wouldn't be sure what to do with it. Do i have to have it installed on some kind of server, or can i just activate it on my computer at home when i want to run it?

Is there any chance of seeing the code for this bot as it was used for adding pages to categories? Any other help would be useful too. I've had a look around Wikipedia:Bots, but it doesn't seem to give any help on how to run a bot. Cheers.

Automated message to bot owners[edit]

As a result of discussion on the village pump and mailing list, bots are now allowed to edit up to 15 times per minute. The following is the new text regarding bot edit rates from Wikipedia:Bot Policy:

Until new bots are accepted they should wait 30-60 seconds between edits, so as to not clog the recent changes list and user watchlists. After being accepted and a bureaucrat has marked them as a bot, they can edit at a much faster pace. Bots doing non-urgent tasks should edit approximately once every ten seconds, while bots who would benefit from faster editing may edit approximately once every every four seconds.

Also, to eliminate the need to spam the bot talk pages, please add Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard to your watchlist. Future messages which affect bot owners will be posted there. Thank you. --Mets501 05:11, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please reconfigure the bot[edit]

Anomebot has been placing "coord missing" on a LOT of non-locational articles which implicity cannot have and will not have coordinates, e.g. North American Water and Power Alliance (which is a continent-wide scheme with no one specfic location and up to 150 actual ones proposed). I remove as many of these as I come across, but it's really a waste of my time; can't the bot be targeted only at articles with location-stubs (geo-stubs?).Skookum1 (talk) 15:43, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
