== AWB up to date? ==

I was told many months ago that AWB's inability to recognise {{tl|geodis}} as a disambiguation page template (hence its habit of suggesting Stub and Orphan tags while also changing it to "Placename disambiguation page") had been fixed in a forthcoming update to AWB. But I now see that the latest version of AWB, 6.1.0.1, was released on 16 September 2019.

Are you using the current version?

If so, then this is still an ongoing problem with AWB and I will raise it at Phabricator again (though it is still your responsibility to check all your edits and avoid doing incorrect edits just because AWB suggests them - see rule 1 at ]

If not, then please update AWB now, before using it again.

Thanks, ]] 07:39, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
::Yes, I'm using the latest version. I just wrote a regex script that I've added to the skip settings that looks for "disambiguation" or "may refer to" or "refer to" as pages to skip when processing. Lets see if it works. They really need to update AWB. -]<sup>]</sup> 21:47, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
:::Well, that didn't work. I added the "geodis" string to the regex script, lets see if that works. -]<sup>]</sup> 22:15, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
:::Still a problem: see ]. Do you look at the edits AWB suggests? Remember AWB rule 1, please. ]] 17:36, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
::::The problem is AWB doesn't show the entire page, it just shows the area that needs correction. There is no wait to know that it's a disambig without looking at the entire page. I added the "geodis" as a regex skip rule, and it appears to not be working. I don't know if there is any fix for this as there is no standard text on disambig pages that could be programmed to skip. For example, some pages say "may refer to", but this one says "There are a few places named Oconto in the United States". There's nothing standard to program a skip rule with. And looking at the AWB screen dowsn't show the entire screen so I didn't even see the "geodis" manually. Perhaps this needs to be raised with AWB as it's concerning and seemingly other users are having the same issue. -]<sup>]</sup> 17:55, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
:::::No, it's you that has an issue. You are making wrong edits because AWB suggests them. Stop and check your edits as you go: you are an editor, not an approved bot. Or, as a work-round: set up the Gadget in Preferences which colours links to disambiguation pages orange. Scan your contributions list after a run of these bot-like AWB edits, look for orange, check and revert. Do it regularly to reduce the chance of wasting the time of stub-sorters. Please. I've just fixed several more. ]] 18:07, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
::::::Find the orange-colouring gadget in "Preferences", "Gadgets", and then near the bottom of the list under "Appearance". Very useful way to avoid accidentally linking to dab pages in articles, and also highlights these mistakes in your bulk runs of stub-and-orphan addition. ]] 23:40, 28 October 2019 (UTC)

::Phil, this is the first time anyone has said anything about incorrect tags outside of disambiguation pages. The only complaint I have had was about disambiguation pages which is a well-known and longstanding bug that multiple people have tried to get fixed. I wrote a skip rule in AWB to try to mitigate this and after many attempts, I think I have it. What you are talking about is a totally new issue to me. -]<sup>]</sup> 22:16, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
:::Sorry, but the issue of whether you should blindingly perform edits suggested by an automatic tool is not new to anyone. If you are incapable of using your own judgement about the edits that ''you'' make then you should not be using such tools. ] (]) 22:20, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
::::Also, can you elaborate on why you think the tags should not be added to the article? AWB suggested them and they appear to be valid. Also, I found several links that could have been easily added and . It appears that per ], the articles are indeed underlinked:
::::An article is said to be ''underlinked'' if words are not linked and are needed to aid understanding of the article. In general, links should be created for:
*Relevant connections to the subject of another article that will help readers understand the article more fully (see the example below). This can include people, events, and topics that already have an article or that clearly deserve one, so long as the link is relevant to the article in question.
*Articles with relevant information, for example: "{{xt|see ] for relevant background}}"
*Articles explaining words of technical terms, jargon or slang expressions/phrases—but you could also provide a concise definition instead of or in addition to a link. If there is no appropriate Misplaced Pages article, an ] to ] could be used.
*]s that are likely to be unfamiliar to readers

-]<sup>]</sup> 22:22, 31 October 2019 (UTC)

::::Please stick to the issue of tagging instead of personal attacks. Accusing me of being "incapable" of using a tool is borderline attacking. If your position is that the tags should not be added and you have come here to make that known, please defend that position instead of side-attacking my use of AWB. At heart here is a simple dispute of whether tags are proper or not. I would have added those tags with or without AWB and you have not cited any policy which states that they should not have been added. -]<sup>]</sup> 22:25, 31 October 2019 (UTC)

::::Respectfully, BigDwiki, that is not a bug in the program. It is a mistake you made. The program is only ''semi''automated. You need to look at and understand each edit before you save it.

:::::::::And this is not a typo or a minor edit. Did you even look at that content before you changed it? You are responsible for your edits, even when using AWB. The school name was spelled correctly as "Amiskwaciy Academy". The cited reference gives the correct spelling. "Amiskwaciy" is a Cree word. If you spoke Cree you would have known better than to change the spelling to "amiskwacity". And since you apparently don't speak Cree, and couldn't be bothered to look at the ref or spend a few seconds doing a Google search, you should not have touched it. Please go back and check your recent edits. ] (]) 02:46, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:Sandy Stimpson Campaign Card.jpg

Notice

The file File:Sandy Stimpson Campaign Card.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:DECORATIVE non-free use in Sandy Stimpson which fails WP:NFCC#8. There's no sourced critical commentary specifically related to this particular "campaign card" or even to Stimpson's use of this kind of imagery in Sandy Stimpson#Mayor of Mobile that justifies the non-free use of this file per WP:NFC#CS.

While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. -- Marchjuly (talk) 08:36, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
