Regarding (although I would utilise the aid of other editors to help update the links via dabsort tool. In my experience when dealing with similar moves that had thousands of links, there would be a minority portion of them wrongly linked in the first place and this would be an opportunity to correct the links)
, I think in this case there is a better method than having editors manually review 11,000 links.
Because most of these links are in references, it is trivial to check whether they should go to ABC News (United States)orABC News (Australia); all we need to do is check whether the reference points to abcnews.go.com or abc.net.au. We can then automatically update them. It will miss those in prose, but I don't consider them enough of an issue to justify the time it would take for editors to review that many links.
Before I create a bot to do that, do you see any issues? Additionally, do you know of any other news sources that might need to be disambiguated?
(I also want to improve Move+ with contextual checks to suggest to notify the user if it is likely that a link might be incorrect, but that's a more difficult problem) BilledMammal (talk) 01:55, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, Robertsky! Thanks for your recent feedback on my revdel request (and, more importantly, thank you for dealing with it). I know it's more convenient to have the link for the Earwig report. However, sometimes I'm really only able to link to the Copypatrol report. I don't know how it does it, but Turnitin often manages to pull from very shady/usurped websites, or websites that themselves are hosting copyright violations. In this particular case, it was pulling from its own archived version of a now-dead URL with an expired SSL certificate that my computer was not happy I tried to open. I can't link to those on Wikipedia, so the Copypatrol report is the best I can do. Sorry, I know it's a bit inconvenient, and I really try to minimize how often I do it. In this case, there was apparently a few years old webarchive version I was too lazy to search for that Earwig actually could actually read from.(Shocker, I know) I'll put a bit more effort to track those down in the future.
But while I'm here(and I've been meaning to do this for a couple days so I promise it's not toadying!):

For a '24 admin diving straight into copyright, and for being the one to have the courage to revdel Battle of Tetovo. Thank you for all your work so far, and all the work you'll do in the future. GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 08:28, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply] |

On8 July 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Youn Sung-ho, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the DJ NewJeansNim has been credited with reviving interest in Buddhism among South Korean youths? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Youn Sung-ho. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Youn Sung-ho), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hi, thanks for closing the revdel on 2023 Australian winter. Could you please close the copyright problem I opened, as well? The author of the page rewrote the text, and I subsequently requested the revision deletion of the page history containing the violation, so nothing more needs to be done. The case is logged here Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2024 July 11. Thanks, Broc (talk) 15:45, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Misuse of Revdel. Thank you.—Cryptic 14:12, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
