Ruth Railton and Jessica Corner[edit]

Neither edit was vandalism. Please review and restore. 107.127.46.57 (talk) 03:55, 26 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You had added unsourced information, that is why I reverted it. ItcouldbepossibleTalk 03:56, 26 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nothing unsourced. Railton's married name (King) and Corner's middle name (Lois) are included in their articles. No reason not to include in Infobox or lead. 107.127.46.57 (talk) 04:02, 26 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your help[edit]

Hi there, thanks for preventing the vandalism of articles that I have edited to add Indigenous placenames in Australia. It's a lot of work doing the research and digging through the citations, and then politically motivated individuals can run through and delete it in seconds. It means a lot to me that you prevented that. Poketama (talk) 01:34, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Poketama for your comment. I am really sorry for answering this late. I was actually on a wiki break. I actually revert a huge amount of vandalism, and so I don't remember which australian article you are taking about. Would you mind telling me the specified articles? It would help me in reverting more vandalism. Regards. ItcouldbepossibleTalk 12:10, 3 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, you're not late at all! You reverted all these edits by an Anonymous user, which would have wiped alot of my work within a 30 minute period. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/220.244.117.3 Thanks. Poketama (talk) 05:13, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

AWB[edit]

@Itcouldbepossible

I saw your question on the Teahouse regarding AWB. I use it alot so if you have any questions do let me know. Rlink2 (talk) 19:51, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Rlink2 Thanks for showing your interest to answer my question. Can you answer the same question that I asked at Teahouse. Also, what do you do using AWB? What type of edits do you make, and what parameters do you use for making a list? ItcouldbepossibleTalk 05:08, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
AWB is a powerful tool that allows you to make mass edits across articles. For example, if you wanted to add a template to a bunch of articles, or remove an template, AWB could help you with that. It can also help fix typos, as you have discovered. AWB also has search and replace, so you can replace any given text with another one across all articles. I used this in Novemember to do some link repair regarding the web archiving service Archive.today. While archive.today is one website, they have mulitple domains, but the one Wikipedia should link to is "archive.today". Therefore, I used AWB to get all articles with the other domains of the same service, and replaced them with "archive.today". I also converted insecure HTTP to secure HTTPS links for two other web archiving services, archive.org and ghostarchive.org. Such tasks would be hard to do without AWB since the browser interface does not make it easy for mass edits like this. I mostly use AWB for preventing WP:LINKROT.
Another popular use of AWB is categorization and filling in short descriptions for articles. I have not done this before with AWB, so if this is what you want to do you are better off asking someone experienced with AWB categorization.
You can also customize AWB with a script to do something custom that AWB isn't able to do on its own. If you know what you want to do, you can easily create a script. Some might already have scripts they are willing to share.
The way you make lists depend on what you want to do. If you are looking for all articles with something specific (for example: all articles with a lowercase "youtube" instead of YouTube), then create a search term and/or "regex" to find those articles. If you want to get all articles in a certain category (actual category or maintenance category), AWB can do that. if you want to find newly created articles, AWB can also do that. I really only use the search term functionality though, along with the data dumps (that's a slightly more advanced topic)
If you want to get some practice with AWB and don't know what to do, there is plenty to do. I would recommend sticking with simple stuff (like the typo fixes) first just so you can get a hang of the tool. If you don't know what you are doing, the cleanup can be massive. So best to ease in to AWB usage with small steps.
Hope that helps. Rlink2 (talk) 05:37, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Rlink2 Thanks man for such a detailed explanation. I never imagined you would be giving me such a detailed explanation.
Ok, but for the time being, tell me something. Recently I have discovered Category:Pages using infobox television with unnecessary name parameter. I want to remove the name parameter from all such articles. I can make a list from a category. But how do I remove the name parameter from articles using AWB. I think that can be done as you said For example, if you wanted to add a template to a bunch of articles, or remove an template, AWB could help you with that. Can you tell me the procedure. ItcouldbepossibleTalk 05:43, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that is possible. You would need to create something known as a regular expression. If you don't know how, there are some good tutorials. Maybe I can find some I like and share it with you. Otherwise, search up tutorials Google or DuckDuckGo. My favorite website for experimenting with regex is https://regexr.com/, you can paste the text and see if the regex matches it. An regex to remove the "name" parameter would be "\|[\s \n]*name[\s \n]=[\s \n][^}|]*". You can find an explaination of the regex along with an example on https://regexr.com/6gq1i . To use this in AWB, you would put this in search and replace, and set it to replace any text in this format with a blank space. Note that the regex would remove this "name" parameter from any template, and not necessarily just the Television template, so just be careful that it doesnt remove a name template from a non-television infobox. If you see something like that in AWB, just double click on the wrong one on the top window and it will revert that one. I don't think the "name" parameter is used anywhere else other than TV infoboxes, so I don't think you will have to worry about it. Rlink2 (talk) 15:04, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Rlink2 Ok thanks. But what will I replace with what? I mean what parameter should I put in find and what parameter should I put in replace with? ItcouldbepossibleTalk 15:10, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Since you want to remove the name parmeter, you would replace it with nothing. The regex will find the parameter, that's the whole point. See Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/User_manual#Find_and_replace for how to actually put this in.
If you still need help, I can send you a config file that has everthing placed in, so you can learn by example Rlink2 (talk) 15:20, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Rlink2 Yes, I know how to do find and replace, but should I tick the box labelled as regex? ItcouldbepossibleTalk 15:23, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, i think. Rlink2 (talk) 15:51, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Rlink2 You can also send me the config file for AWB. How do you want to send it? ItcouldbepossibleTalk 15:27, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I can email you Rlink2 (talk) 15:52, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Rlink2 Then please do so. ItcouldbepossibleTalk 16:22, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Rlink2 Thanks a lot. I almost made 1000 edits today. ItcouldbepossibleTalk 12:17, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Rlink2 Can you tell me something more. I wanted to change http in pages to https. So in the normal settings, I set change http to https. But it ran into a lot of error. Http was being changed to https, but the https was being changed httpss. Can you tell me what to do? Also what was the need to use regex? We could have changed |name to a dash or blank space. How can I figure out what regex value to use. Lots of questions. Please answer them when you get time. ItcouldbepossibleTalk 12:19, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Http was being changed to https, but the https was being changed httpss. Can you tell me what to do? you need to make sure you replace http: (with the colon) with https: (with the colon) to avoid that issue. "http" is in "https" so if you dont add the colon that will happen. Keep in mind we should not be changing all websites to https, since some websites are still http only. I changed http to https for sites that I knew had an https and http connection avaliable (archive.org and ghostarchive.org). 99% of sites with HTTPS only offer HTTPS and HTTP will automatically redirect to the HTTPS version, so for most sites the change is not necessary.
Also what was the need to use regex? Well, if you just did "|name" without the regex, it wouldn't work when there are spaces in between (like " | name=TV show", or "| name = TV show". The regex has the capability to replace the name parameter even when there is spaces in between the parameter name, equal sign, and value of the parameter.
How can I figure out what regex value to use. There are good tutorials out there, but I can also find some and share them with you if you wish. Once you know the basics you can create a value that suits your operation. This link , https://regexr.com/6gs7g, explains what the regex I gave you does in detail (under the "explain" tab) Rlink2 (talk) 15:29, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Rlink2 Ok, I got what you said. Now can you provide me with some good tutorials? Also I can I use regexr.com to compute a regex value? Can you tell me the way? I am trying since the day. ItcouldbepossibleTalk 14:25, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
http://regextutorials.com looks like a good resource to get started.
Also I can I use regexr.com to compute a regex value? yes, once you know how to "compute a regex value". It's what I use to test the regex I made before putting it in AWB. Rlink2 (talk) 14:44, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Rlink2 Sorry, in my hurry I wrote in a wrong manner. I wanted to mean Also how can I use regexr.com to computer or find a regex value. Please answer it this way. ItcouldbepossibleTalk 16:11, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Well you need to make the regex first. Once you do that, you can paste that into regexr.com along with the sample text (in this case, wikicode) and see if the match is correct. Rlink2 (talk) 17:48, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Ok and what and how do you do to fill in bare urls. 95% of your contributions are in for bare ref fixing. Is that also automatic? If yes, then how does AWB automatically find the archived urls? And how many config files do you own? ItcouldbepossibleTalk 01:59, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I have a config file for each editing task I do. So one for bare refs, and a couple for archiving/verifiability (since there are multiple types of those runs). So it adds up to being quite a few files.
Yes, I used AWB to fill bare refs, and while I still could, I am choosing not to because there is a bot request for approval and I have other stuff to do. If I finish the other stuff, and the bot still isn't approved, maybe I could go back to filling refs. We'll see. Right now I'm working on some other tasks related to linkrot and wp:v with AWB.
Is that also automatic? Well it fills in the bare refs automatically, but you still need to look at all your edits before submitting them to make sure its right.
Did you want to help with WP:LINKROT? There is alot of stuff to do. Rlink2 (talk) 03:51, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Rlink2 Ok. But how do you add the archives of urls using AWB.
No, I am presently thinking of clearing the maintenance category that I am currently working on. I will think about working on linkrot later. ItcouldbepossibleTalk 13:37, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
But how do you add the archives of urls using AWB? Using a more complicated regex.
I am presently thinking of clearing the maintenance category that I am currently working on. Keep up the good work, I saw you were doing some of that. Rlink2 (talk) 14:00, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Teahouse[edit]

Please refrain from answering queries at Teahouse until you learn the correct information. One way to do this is to read existing Teahouse Q&As, including archived content. Then, start with replies only when you are sure of the correct information. It is not necessary to apply to be a Teahouse host (see Wikipedia:Teahouse/Host start), but do note that there is a recommendation to have had an account for more than 30 days, and edited more than 500 articles. David notMD (talk) 13:27, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@David notMD I actually meant they will leave the general remarks on the talk page of the author as to why the draft wasn't accepted. It is always written like your submission xxx was not accepted this time, and then the reason is written. ItcouldbepossibleTalk 13:55, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, you are correct on this. When a reviewer posts a Decline on the draft page, it automatically posts the same message on the Talk page of the person who submitted it. I was thinking when I wrote my comment to you that the declining reviewer is not writing a post of the Talk page.

Also, do not submit other people's drafts. David notMD (talk) 13:30, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@David notMD Ok, but earlier, I have submitted others drafts also. Whats the wrong in doing that? ItcouldbepossibleTalk 13:54, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Creators of drafts may not be ready to have their draft sent to a reviewer, either because draft process not finished, or else have not fully addressed why the draft was declined. You are free to edit other people's drafts (which they may or may no appreciate) but not submit. David notMD (talk) 14:19, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@David notMD But he was asking for his draft to be reviewed. ItcouldbepossibleTalk 14:20, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Not exactly. He was asking at Teahouse for an opinion as to whether the revised draft was good enough to resubmit, not for someone to submit it. David notMD (talk) 14:24, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@David notMD And what about that leaving remarks thing. For example see my talk page archive for draft declined messages. ItcouldbepossibleTalk 14:52, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Name parameter removal[edit]

Hi! You removed the name parameters from infoboxes in The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin, which is fine for the first infobox, but leaves the second infobox (which should be "The Legacy of Reginald Perrin") with the wrong name. Do you have any checks as to whether the name parameter you remove is the same as the article title? - Ttwaring (talk) 14:29, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Also this edit has left the soundtrack infobox as "Untitled" in Familiar Wife. Ttwaring (talk) 15:55, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Ttwaring Oops, my first AWB mistake noted by someone else. Whenever I used to make mistakes, I used to undo it myself. But somehow this slipped from my eye. Thanks for bringing it on. For the first case, actually I have nothing to do. I removed the name parameter from articles with infobox television. So when I see an article having a name parameter and a television infobox, I remove the name parameter. But there are some cases which are rare and unexceptional like this. The second infobox has a different name. So, when the infobox takes the name from {{PAGENAMEBASE}}, it is the one which is needed. So to avoid this kind of error, I think I should be careful when I see two television infoboxes, and remove one manually. But the fun part is that I remember in maybe 5 or 6 articles there were two television infoboxes, and I had removed that swiftly without thinking about what problem would happen. So just waiting for more issues on to come up.
For the second case, it was my mistake. I didn't see in that I had removed the name paramter from infobox album parameter, which generally I manually undo, but this slipped from my eyes.
Just to note, I have made all the necessary changes. You can check the pages again. Thanks again for bringing the issue to my talk page. It would be really nice if you look over my AWB edits. Regards, ItcouldbepossibleTalk 12:16, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Useful vs useless[edit]

Since you are doubling down, I can make an argument that reflecting the correct number of episodes is more useful for an encyclopedia than a purely cosmetic change like removing an unnecessary infobox parameter. I'm not interested in making that argument, I'm just pointing out that what's useful and useless is something that community decides and if you think something is useless, instead of badgering editors with such strongly worded comments, go start an RfC to make up consensus or work on a script/template-based solution or something else along those lines. Hemantha (talk) 03:58, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Hemantha Well yes, I could have done many things. But you know what, I wanted to make this as simple as possible and go step wise to solve the problem. Things like this are ought to be sorted out on user talk pages and not some discussion board or RFC. I could have put this up at the DRN or ANI, but always it is said to try and clear out the problem at the base. If not, then gradually steps can be taken, and finally the ArbCom is there to solve everything out here. So there is literally no need to create an RfC for this problem. You can ask anyone who is experienced in this matter. If aren't interested in this, then you can start an RfC yourself. And if you thing my contributions are not in favour of building up an encyclopedia, then sorry to say, you are highly wrong. I am working on a maintenance category, and there is a need to clear out the maintenance category. If my edits are 'purely cosmetic' then gosh!, so many editors edits will also be regarded as 'purely cosmetic' according to you. I hate to think the number of editors who regularly use AWB to do maintenance job and here you are saying those edits are purely cosmetic. And neither did I make any harsh comment, nor did I badger them with anything. If you see the first message that I wrote, it was just a general message and not something really rough. I told him not to update episode counts everyday, but never told him don't you ever update episode counts. And I linked him to the task center so that he knows what else he can do, if he doesn't already know about it. Which one do you think are strongly worded comments? And if you still regard these as strong comments, then you might want to know that, many editors made stronger comments on my talk page at the beginning of my career, but I didn't complain about those. In comparison with those, the comments I made are really simple and civil. As a matter of fact, you showed that you are botherless in this matter by telling Pri2000 to freely remove the discussion from his talk page. Now I can call this as uncivil and say you, of all the people, are no one to ask someone to remove a discussion from their talk page or call the whole discussion irrelevant especially when consensus is yet to be reached, since it looks like you didn't pay any heed to my words, and instead tried to encourage Pri2000 in whatever he is trying to do.
I am also requesting comments from all talk page watchers, both mine and Pri2000's. Also pinging Nick Moyes, Bonadea, FormalDude, David Biddulph, ClaudineChionh, Primefac, DanCherek, Rlink2, JBW, Girth Summit for commenting regarding this matter. Regards. ItcouldbepossibleTalk 04:59, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The amount of mischaracterisation, in what little I read, of my fairly small and neutral post shows that this discussion isn't productive. I'll only say that if I see something like that original post again from you, I'll revert and if continued, report you to appropriate boards for assumption of bad faith and WP:PA. Hemantha (talk) 05:12, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hemantha Please, don't drag these things further, when the reply of the user being talked about does not come. It seems that you are deliberately dragging this thing, you seem to have some personal interest. If you have any problem then direct contact with Admin..– B203GTB  • (talk)  • 05:43, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm? What am I dragging further? Since my first post, I was asking ICBP to drop this, but he's continued his baseless claims of "useless" and "not improving articles" more and more vocally. Your own contribution there wasn't as helpful as you'd think and shows your comment here in poor, partisan light. Hemantha (talk) 05:55, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, so the comment that you made on my talk page was really nice and civil, and the comment that I made on Pri2000's talk was really bad? Now let me make something straight Hemanta. I am really at a fail to understand what you are trying to do, but whatever you are doing or saying is not in the right way. You must understand how the community works, instead of just taking things in your own way. You are a lot senior to me, but still I have to say that any further unruly comment made by you in this regard would leave me no option except to open a case against you at ANI. I really don't want to go that way for I respect both you and your presence here. I really don't see why you would want to get into trouble. The discussion was going between me and Pri2000, and suddenly you came in and now we are fighting, and the funny thing is that this case has nothing to do with you. So now you can choose your own path. Regards, ItcouldbepossibleTalk 12:17, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

CSD G5s[edit]

Hello, Itcouldbepossible,

Please review WP:G5. Do not tag a page as a CSD G5 unless it is the page creation of a confirmed sockpuppet of a ban-evading editor and the article does not have substantial contributions from other editors. If the page creator has not been blocked for sockpuppetry or if there is no sockmaster identified who is evading a block, a page can't be tagged CSD G5. If you just suspect sockpuppetry and it hasn't been confirmed, please don't tag a page CSD G5. If other editors have worked on the article, it shouldn't be tagged CSD G5. Every page tagged for speedy deletion has to be reviewed by an administrator and it wastes time when pages are inappropriately tagged. Thank you for all of your contributions to Wikipedia. Liz Read!

I think the message on your talk page replies your comment. I didn't want to do that, but for continuation of discussion had to revert it. ItcouldbepossibleTalk 11:11, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot Atlantic306 for reviewing my article. I have always been mesmerized by your great page reviewing work. On so many talk pages, I see your messages about improving articles and from that I have known you since. I really appreciate your work. But here, would you please spend your valuable time in explaining what you meant by Please add details of reviews of the series in reliable sources. What reviews do you want me to add? For example, my other TV articles like Sona Roder Gaan, Nayantara (TV series), Aalta Phoring or Harano Sur (TV series) are like the subject article. So could you please elaborate on what you said. I can start working on it. Yours sincerely, ItcouldbepossibleTalk 04:38, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi thankyou for your kind words and great content work. By reviews I mean a critical reception section such as you would see in a film article that summarises reviews of the show in reliable sources such as The Hindu, New Indian Express and other newspapers and magazines (non-English sources are ok as well). If your articles have such a section they are more likely to survive an AfD discussion than they would without it because critical reception is given a higer value than general news stories, regards Atlantic306 (talk) 22:22, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

IAbot stuck[edit]

Sorry for this as well as the pings, I just want to make sure you see this even if you have pings turned off. On meta:User talk:InternetArchiveBot#Stalled on job 9878 I have raised an issue with IABot being stuck. Of course, you aren't a maintainer of IABot, but you do have the ability to "kill" the job, as you had created the job (for fixing up Donald Trump). If you could please try to do so, it may get the bot unstuck, as it has been stuck for more than two weeks now. I don't think that you particularly caused this issue, but you may be able to help fix it nonetheless. Mako001 (C)  (T)  🇺🇦 02:40, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Mako001 No problem, I have already killed the bot job. I have not turned pings off. I was just on a break. I saw the pings and acted instantly. ItcouldbepossibleTalk 13:21, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Itcouldbepossible: All good, I figured that, but wanted to make sure anyway. Thanks. Mako001 (C)  (T)  🇺🇦 15:00, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Jordan Hattar[edit]

Hi—I am in the process of building out the Hattar page. I saw you nominated it for deletion. Online there are many reputable sources discussing his activism. I will add them over the next few days, so I would very much appreciate if the page was not deleted before then, as he is certainly a person notable enough as a public figure to have one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by VoicesofSyria (talk • contribs) 06:55, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@VoicesofSyria Sorry, but you have misunderstood something. I did not nominate it for deletion. Agtx nominated the page for deletion, in this edit. So you have to talk about this to that specified user. You can also voice your opinion, on the delete discussion page. You can also write on his talk page telling him to close the AFD. I have also pinged him to this page. Lets see what he replies. When he replies, I will also send a ping to you to initiate to you that he has replied. For the time, you tell all this on the AFD page. ItcouldbepossibleTalk 08:34, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@VoicesofSyria: My research didn't turn up such sources. The deletion discussion will remain open for a week, so if you're able to update the page and say you did so on the delete discussion page in the next few days, then we can discuss them. agtx 11:42, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Great! I will be sure to add the information and applicable sources asap. Thanks so much. VoicesofSyria (talk) 18:24, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please have a look 150.107.146.133 (talk) 17:12, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I've blocked that particular /64 range; if they persist, let me know and I'll look at a wider block. Girth Summit (blether) 17:16, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Girth Summit, I will surely let you know if I see them again. 150.107.146.133 (talk) 17:19, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Girth Summit I knew this was to be coming up. They would surely get behind the person who initiated their blocking process. Will the /64 block stop them? ItcouldbepossibleTalk 05:11, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I expect they would be able to get around it if they wanted; it's a starting point, and if they persist we can look at wider blocks. Girth Summit (blether) 11:17, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your Teahouse response[edit]

I'm not familiar with the expression "Don't bother yourself to ping me" you used here. It's obvious you want people to ask you for help if they need it, but it almost seems like the opposite. Yes, I'm way behind reading archives.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 20:12, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Vchimpanzee. Thanks for asking about this matter. I wonder how you found such a past archive and why you were reading through all the Teahouse archives, but anyway. Regarding this matter, a lot has been discussed on my talk page which is now in my archive folder. Yes, I didn't want to mean that. Just because of my weak phrasing, things turned our wrong, actually English is my third language, you have to consider this fact. Regards, ItcouldbepossibleTalk 02:21, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
