SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from Nettrom (talk), SuggestBot's caretaker. -- SuggestBot (talk) 23:08, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
WP 1.0 bot
I think that having more maintainers is good. If you let me know your toolserver user name, I will request access for you to the enwp10 project where the bot code it, and you and Theopolisme can discuss things. Can you email that to me?
The current code is pretty stable, with no urgent bugs, but there are always special requests on the WP 1.0 page that need to be handled, so having more than one person with access can be helpful. — Carl (
Enciclopedia Libre Universal en Español

Hi, I'm following your BFRA and wanted to ask you if you could create and update on a regular basis a diagramm comparing the Spanish Wikipedia and Enciclopedia Libre Universal en Español? mabdul 17:13, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
- Are you referring to a chart similar to File:Enciclopedia Libre and Spanish Wikipedia article count.JPG? If so, I'd be happy do that. — Wolfgang42 (talk) 17:35, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
- Exactly, but please as a SVG. ;-) mabdul 19:44, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
- I created the graph and put it at File:Enciclopedia Libre and Spanish Wikipedia article count.svg, and replaced the old chart at Enciclopedia Libre Universal en Español#Statistics with the new one. Once my first BRFA gets approved, I'll put in another one for this graph. — Wolfgang42 (talk) 22:43, 17 November 2012 (UTC)

- Unfortunately, mediawiki, so I can't just poke at their API to get the data. There's probably a way to do it, but I don't know enough Chinese to figure it out, and Google Translate wasn't any help. — Wolfgang42 (talk) 20:24, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

WP 1.0 bot followup
I have left an official announcement at
You asked me to remind you...
...to come up with some sort of script or bot or whatever that will create a feed of recent changes to all pages that are vulnerable on a time-sensitive basis - namely the current date (probably the date in UTC with a 36-hour buffer on either side) and every single article linked to from the main page. And anything else anyone can think of. —
- I've created a preliminary script here. It doesn't look very nice, but it does what it's supposed to. It shows the last five revisions of every page linked to on the Main Page. — Wolfgang42 (talk) 05:31, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
- Very cool! Would there be any way to do it on a timeframe basis, though, as opposed to a "last x changes" one? Like, so it would look more like a watchlist or the Recent Changes feed - perhaps both a "last 20/50/100/250/500 changes" option and a "last .5/1/2/6/12/24 hours" one? Something like Sandy Hook sometimes gets dozens of edits an hour, sometimes even coming fast enough that vandalism doesn't get noticed right away. Oh, also, is there some way to get it to ignore redirects? For instance, the last 5 revisions for Je vous invite à me parler) 10:49, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
- I just discovered Special:RecentChangesLinked/Main Page, is that what you're looking for? — Wolfgang42 (talk) 19:38, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
- Oh. Perfect. Well, so much for that idea. ... Would you, perchance, know anything about bot programming? — Je vous invite à me parler) 01:08, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, I run working on a Python bot to clean up articles about meteorites. Is there something in particular you have in mind? — Wolfgang42 (talk) 01:16, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
- Yes there is - a bot that would resolve certain feedback submissions (see Je vous invite à me parler) 01:25, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

I believe that the problem with that filter is that it keeps on hitting the >10% limit. And I'm almost positive that an auto-resolve filter would as well. —
- I asked about this during IRC office hours, and apparently they're working on some sort of a machine learning algorithm to do this. — Wolfgang42 (talk) 00:29, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

Wolfgang42,
Regarding the unused image: It is a newspaper scan for which I obtained permission to use from the newspaper editor. The reason for uploading it and including it (or trying to include it) was its value as a reference for the article about John S. Crout. When I uploaded it, I explained everything about it -- why I'd uploaded it, that I had obtained permission. Some Wikipedian author blew it away under the pretense that I didn't have permission. They were simply wrong and the action taken was just plain rude -- because I couldn't figure out WP instructions that let me do anything more with it. This actually leads me to the next paragraph.
I don't have any idea how to use the Open-double-curly-brace Talkback pipe Kernel.package
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.
Close-double-curly-brace but I'd certainly like to know. Same goes for most WP instructions. Most instructions seem to rely on what WP seems to think is "self-evident". No disrespect intended; explanations are welcome. I don't do as much as I used to do because I don't understand the direction/instructions.
Assuming I can figure out the instructions given on my Talk Page, I'll address the image there. I'm leaving it here too. Again, no disrespect; just lack of confidence that I'll understand how I'm to respond on my talk page. Kernel.package (talk) 02:36, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

I love it. After having spent hours making those graphs myself, someone finally automated the process. It's great. Thanks so much!

Notification of automated file description generation
Your upload of File:Barack Obama's Presidential Job Approval Ratings, 2009-2012 (Gallup Poll).svg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.
This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

) 05:26, 18 May 2014 (UTC)Obama approval ratings graph
Hello, the file you uploaded of Barack Obama's approval ratings does not include data after March 29, 2013. It seems that the bot programmed to update the graph for some reason was not successful in doing so for most of 2013, and has not been working at all this year. I'd appreciate it if you could manually update the graph (or fix the bot), as more than a year of missing data is quite a chunk to not have. Thanks. --Philpill691 (talk) 03:58, 30 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi, the GA log has not been updated recently. Is there a reason for this? Thanks, Matty.007 08:20, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
- I'll second this as well. There is talk it may be a general server issue, but I'd like to hear from the maintainers if that is indeed the issue. I'm involved in a GLAM project out of Chicago, and we've been using the statistics box that the above bot produces to help focus our content efforts and assess our progress. (Pinging TeriEmbrey).
