Bots Newsletter, August 2019

Bots Newsletter, August 2019

Greetings!

Here is the 7th issue of the Bots Newsletter, a lot happened since last year's newsletter! You can subscribe/unsubscribe from future newsletters by adding/removing your name from this list.

Highlights for this newsletter include:

ARBCOM
  • Nothing of note happened. Just like we like it.
BAG

BAG members are expected to be active on Wikipedia to have their finger on the pulse of the community. After two years without any bot-related activity (such as posting on bot-related pages, posting on a bot's talk page, or operating a bot), BAG members will be retired from BAG following a one-week notice. Retired members can re-apply for BAG membership as normal if they wish to rejoin the BAG.

We thank former members for their service and wish Madman a happy retirement. We note that Madman and BU Rob13 were not inactive and could resume their BAG positions if they so wished, should their retirements happens to be temporary.

BOTDICT

Two new entries feature in the bots dictionary

BOTPOL
  • Activity requirements: BAG members now have an activity requirement. The requirements are very light, one only needs to be involved in a bot-related area at some point within the last two years. For purpose of meeting these requirements, discussing a bot-related matter anywhere on Wikipedia counts, as does operating a bot (RFC).
  • Copyvio flag: Bot accounts may be additionally marked by a bureaucrat upon BAG request as being in the "copyviobot" user group on Wikipedia. This flag allows using the API to add metadata to edits for use in the New pages feed (discussion). There is currently 1 bot using this functionality.
  • Mass creation: The restriction on mass-creation (semi-automated or automated) was extended from articles, to all content-pages. There are subtleties, but content here broadly means whatever a reader could land on when browsing the mainspace in normal circumstances (e.g. Mainspace, Books, most Categories, Portals, ...). There is also a warning that WP:MEATBOT still applies in other areas (e.g. Redirects, Wikipedia namespace, Help, maintenance categories, ...) not explicitely covered by WP:MASSCREATION.
BOTREQs and BRFAs

As of writing, we have...

  • 20 active BOTREQs, please help if you can!
  • 14 open BRFAs and 1 BRFA in need of BAG attention (see live status).
  • In 2018, 96 bot task were approved. An AWB search shows approximately 29 were withdrawn/expired, and 6 were denied.
  • Since the start of 2019, 97 bot task were approved. Logs show 15 were withdrawn/expired, and 15 were denied.
  • 10 inactive bots have been deflagged (see discussion). 5 other bots have been deflagged per operator requests or similar (see discussion).
New things
Other discussions

These are some of the discussions that happened / are still happening since the last Bots Newsletter. Many are stale, but some are still active.

See also the latest discussions at the bot noticeboard.

Cooperative

Could you please be a bit more cooperative? I get that you're doing this in good faith, but it's getting tiring to constantly have to clean up after you. If you have any questions or such, pls come to me. --HistoryofIran (talk) 17:05, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well I've just checked my recent edits and arrived at this, which suggests the problem is rather your attitude towards my edits. It's not a big deal if one skips some formatting, as it is secondary. --Z 18:15, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Downgrading a GA article and adding those not so pretty infoboxes on several articles even when being reverted by other users sounds like a problem to me. Not a big problem, but deffo a problem. Anyways, I just wanted to notify you regarding this, not interested in delving too much into it. --HistoryofIran (talk) 19:26, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Phraates

Hello, you don't happen to have a source about the etymology of the name of Phraates? I need it to nominate Phraates V for GA. --HistoryofIran (talk) 16:02, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Babak (Sasanian officer)

On11 October 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Babak (Sasanian officer), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

Middle Persian script for these figures?

Hello. You wouldn't happen to know what the Middle Persian script (like 𐭪𐭥𐭠𐭲‎ for Kavad) for the names of Balash, Jamasp and Adur-Anahid would be? --HistoryofIran (talk) 19:41, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, added. --Z 20:23, 17 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hiya. You don't happen to have a reliable source or two regarding the names Gotarzes and Orodes? --HistoryofIran (talk) 01:56, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The name Gotarzes in Parthian is actually unattested as far as I know; but its diminutive form, Gōtarzak (gwtrzk) is found in Parthian ostraka found in Nisa[1]. I will check Orodes. --Z 09:13, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
What about Godarz? It's also used for the name Gotarzes. --HistoryofIran (talk) 16:52, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Actually I was refering to the Parthian Godarz (also transliterated as Gotarz) as the unattested form. --Z 17:12, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Despite the name, WP:BLP generally applies to recently-dead people in addition to living ones, specifically for situations like this (where their death attracts massive amounts of attention to their article that make getting things right all the more important) - see WP:BDP. It will eventually cease to apply, but ~six months is considered normal before it stops applying (though it varies depending on the level of attention.) EDIT: That said, your edit was reverted inadvertently, probably due to being made at nearly the same time as mine - I don't see any WP:BLP issues with it and would have restored it myself if I'd noticed. --Aquillion (talk) 06:32, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Seleucia-Ctesiphon

I have reverted your moves of titles with Seleucia-Ctesiphon to Seleucia–Ctesiphon. I think the former is an established spelling, like Austria-Hungary. See, e.g., this GEDSH article. Srnec (talk) 00:30, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Late Sasanian army

Hi Z, have you seen this before? [2] Maybe it will be of use to you. --HistoryofIran (talk) 00:36, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

, Hi, thanks for sharing it. --Z 10:11, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Np. Btw, did you happen to find out the Parthian script for the name Orodes and its etymology? And could you also add the Middle Persian script in Adur Gushnasp? Thanks in advance. --HistoryofIran (talk) 23:09, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I added. The etymology is discussed in some sources but apparently the theory is not certain. I will add if I happen to see something better in sources. --Z 16:56, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hiya, you don't happen to know the spelling of Pacorus in Parthian? I've already its etymology [3], I'm just missing the Parthian script for it. Also, if you could find the Parhtian script and etymology of the name Vonones that would be great. --HistoryofIran (talk) 16:31, 18 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I can't find Pakur in Midle Iranian. Descendants of the reconstructed Old Iranian baga-puthra "son of god" are attested in Manichaean Parthian βγpwhr βaγpuhr (see wikt:en:𐫁𐫃𐫛𐫇𐫍𐫡, still working on it) and Sogdian wikt:en:βγpwr βaγpūr. --Z 15:15, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Interestingly, Pacorus II's name is actually attested in Parthian (on the famous bronze statue of Bahram/Heracles in Seleucia). I added it to the article. The etymology is apparently uncertain. See wikt:en:𐭐𐭊𐭅𐭓 created with the help of a

Would you be able to help translate this source into English?

Hi ZxxZxxZ,

I believe this source (link:[[4]]) could be useful, but I can't really make use of it because I don't speak Persian. You seemed to be the most active recently of Persian-English translators [here] so I decided to reach out to you first: would you be able/willing to help translate it into English for me? I apologize if this is too much to ask.

Thanks,

Hi, the paper itself too quite long to be translated completely. Is it any particular information you are trying to find in it? I am familiar with etymological studies of Iranian languages myself. --Z 13:12, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The parts that piqued my interest in particular were the part on the 5th page about "*Niөāvanta", the one on the 6th page about "Varkāna", on the 7th page about『*āp-šēnag』and『*āp-*xšaina』(etc), on the 9th page on『dāδmainya』and『damēnag』(etc), on the 11th page about『*margānag』(etc), and finally on the 14th page where a number of place name elements are listed in Arabic-Persian and also Roman scripts. Any info on what the surrounding sections are saying would be greatly appreciated.
Additionally, do you know of any other good sources on Iranian toponymy I could make use of? English Wikipedia is kind of lacking on that subject and I would like to expand it as much as I can.
Thanks,
3 kids in a trenchcoat (talk) 19:24, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
According to the paper, dāδmainya means "blowable (for toads)", ‫‪damēnag‬‬ means "hand fan", related to Middle Iranian dam- "to breath". For the rest, see wikt:مریانج, wikt:آبشینه, wikt:ورکانه, wikt:نهاوند that I just created. You can find good information and references in English Wiktionary entries, I am active there myself together with several other users who work on Persian entries. --Z 11:01, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mongol invasions of Nizaris

Hello! I noticed you made a great contribution for that page! I just translated it in another language but unfortunately I’m not able to interlink “Mongol campaign against Nizaris” with the Italian version. I don’t know which is the reason. Can you help me? Do you know how to solve this problem? X3SNW8 (talk) 19:05, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Thanks for translating it. It was easy to fix, I added the title to d:Q92987578 in Wikidata and the interwikis have appeared now. Z 19:31, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Mongol campaign against the Nizaris

On4 July 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Mongol campaign against the Nizaris, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Nizari (Assassin) garrison of Gerdkuh resisted the siege of Mongol invaders for 13 more years after the surrender of their leaders? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Mongol campaign against the Nizaris. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Mongol campaign against the Nizaris), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Hi! My recommendation for this would be to get some feedback by other editors as well, either at GOCE or at Peer Review, especially by editors who are unfamiliar with the specific topic and can point you to missing context. As an aside, I would strongly recommend discarding all the footnotes with Arabic/Farsi names. This is useless in an English encyclopedia, and only serves to confuse readers (and probably scare them off as well). Anything that is linked to an existing article doesn't need the original name either way, since that is mentioned there (or should be). Constantine 16:34, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for the tips! Regarding the names, yes I want to ultimately move them to other (new) pages (I think all of them). The reason I added them in the first place was I spotted several mistakes in the spelling (transliterations) of the names in my secondary sources after checking the primary sources. --Z 09:16, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yazdegerd

Hi Z, you don't happen to have any sources regarding the name of Yazdegerd? For some reason, Shahbazi says that the Pahlavi version of his name was 'Yazdekert' [5], yet all Middle Persian texts I've seen call him 'Yazdgird'. --HistoryofIran (talk) 05:46, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, just like other Sasanian names, this word too may be transcribed in various ways. Note that the word "Pahlavi" (especially in older literature when it wasn't known that Parthian and Middle Persian are distinct languages) is a collective term referring to what is now known as Parthian and Middle Persian.
The accurate transcription of the suffix used by the Middle Persian of that period is uncertain (see the corresponding page in Wiktionary), the only certain fact is that it had been -gerd (Middle Persian e is also loosely transliterated as i, the exact pronunciation is uncertain) in Manichaean Middle Persian and -kert in (earlier forms of) Parthian, because it is -kert in Armenian. But the Middle Persian form (except early/proto-Middle Persian forms) can be reconstructed as *-gerd: note the Ancient Greek (Isdigérdēs), Latin (Isdegerdes), and Georgian (iezdigerd) forms in wikt:Yazdegerd.
In short, Shahbazi is mentioning a form that reflects the pronunciation in what is now known as (early) Parthian and (early) Middle Persian, note the Old Armenian Yazkertinwikt:Yazdegerd. --Z 13:17, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I see, that was really enlightening. Thanks! --HistoryofIran (talk) 15:00, 28 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Bots Newsletter, December 2021

Bots Newsletter, December 2021
BRFA activity by month

Welcome to the eighth issue of the English Wikipedia's Bots Newsletter, your source for all things bot. Maintainers disappeared to parts unknown... bots awakening from the slumber of æons... hundreds of thousands of short descriptions... these stories, and more, are brought to you by Wikipedia's most distinguished newsletter about bots.

Our last issue was in August 2019, so there's quite a bit of catching up to do. Due to the vast quantity of things that have happened, the next few issues will only cover a few months at a time. This month, we'll go from September 2019 through the end of the year. I won't bore you with further introductions — instead, I'll bore you with a newsletter about bots.

Overall

  • Between September and December 2019, there were 33 BRFAs. Of these, Green checkmarkY 25 were approved, and 8 were unsuccessful (Dark red X symbolN2 3 denied, Blue question mark? 3 withdrawn, and Expired 2 expired).

September 2019

Look! It's moving. It's alive. It's alive... It's alive, it's moving, it's alive, it's alive, it's alive, it's alive, IT'S ALIVE!
  • Green checkmarkY Monkbot 16, DannyS712 bot 60, Ahechtbot 6, PearBOT 3, Qbugbot 3 · Dark red X symbolN2 DannyS712 bot 5, PkbwcgsBot 24 · Blue question mark? DannyS712 bot 61, TheSandBot 4
  • TParis goes away, UTRSBot goes kaput: Beeblebrox noted that the bot for maintaining on-wiki records of UTRS appeals stopped working a while ago. TParis, the semi-retired user who had previously run it, said they were "unlikely to return to actively editing Wikipedia", and the bot had been vanquished by trolls submitting bogus UTRS requests on behalf of real blocked users. While OAuth was a potential fix, neither maintainer had time to implement it. TParis offered to access to the UTRS WMFLabs account to any admin identified with the WMF: "I miss you guys a whole lot [...] but I've also moved on with my life. Good luck, let me know how I can help". Ultimately, SQL ended up in charge. Some progress was made, and the bot continued to work another couple months — but as of press time, UTRSBot has not edited since November 2019.
  • Article-measuring contest resumed: The list of Wikipedians by article count, which had lain dead for several years, was triumphantly resurrected by GreenC following a bot request.

October 2019

November 2019

Now you're thinking with portals.

December 2019

In the next issue of Bots Newsletter:
What's next for our intrepid band of coders, maintainers and approvers?

  • What happens when two bots want to clerk the same page?
  • What happens when an adminbot goes hog wild?
  • Will reFill ever get fixed?
  • What's up with ListeriaBot, anyway?
  • Python 3.4 deprecation? In my PyWikiBot? (It's more likely than you think!)

These questions will be answered — and new questions raised — by the January 2022 Bots Newsletter. Tune in, or miss out!

Bots Newsletter, January 2022

Bots Newsletter, January 2022
BRFA activity by month

Welcome to the ninth issue of the English Wikipedia's Bots Newsletter, your source for all things bot. Vicious bot-on-bot edit warring... superseded tasks... policy proposals... these stories, and more, are brought to you by Wikipedia's most distinguished newsletter about bots.

After a long hiatus between August 2019 and December 2021, there's quite a bit of ground to cover. Due to the vastness, I decided in December to split the coverage up into a few installments that covered six months each. Some people thought this was a good idea, since covering an entire year in a single issue would make it unmanageably large. Others thought this was stupid, since they were getting talk page messages about crap from almost three years ago. Ultimately, the question of whether each issue covers six months or a year is only relevant for a couple more of them, and then the problem will be behind us forever.

Of course, you can also look on the bright side – we are making progress, and this issue will only be about crap from almost two years ago. Today we will pick up where we left off in December, and go through the first half of 2020.

Overall
In the first half of 2020, there were 71 BRFAs. Of these, Green checkmarkY 59 were approved, and 12 were unsuccessful (with Dark red X symbolN2 8 denied, Blue question mark? 2 withdrawn, and Expired 2 expired).

Listeria being examined

Issues and enquiries are typically expected to be handled on the English Wikipedia. Pages reachable via unified login, like a talk page at Commons or at Italian Wikipedia could also be acceptable [...] External sites like PhabricatororGitHub (which require separate registration or do not allow for IP comments) and email (which can compromise anonymity) can supplement on-wiki communication, but do not replace it.

May 2020

We heard you like bots, so we made a bot that reports the status of your bots, so now you can use bots while you use bots

June 2020

A partial block averted at the eleventh hour for the robot that makes Legos

Conclusion

  • What's next for our intrepid band of coders, maintainers and approvers?
  • Will Citation bot ever be set free to roam the project?
  • What's the deal with all those book links that InternetArchiveBot is adding to articles?
  • Should we keep using Gerrit for MediaWiki?
  • What if we had a day for bots to make cosmetic edits?

These questions will be answered — and new questions raised — by the February 2022 Bots Newsletter. Tune in, or miss out!
