Autopatroller

Hi Hmains, just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled right to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature should have little to no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the patroller right, see Misplaced Pages:Autopatrolled. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! — ξ 21:36, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Linking Dates (centuries, decades, years, months, days, etc)

Delink dates per WP:DATELINK, WP:YEARLINK and MOS:UNLINKYEARS

As always, the content of the linked-to article must provide substantive content to the linked-from article. The MOS decided most dates do not do this. Hmains (talk) 03:36, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

Web page has expired

I follow the directions in the message shown on the screen.

"Click on the Refresh button on the toolbar to reload the page. After refreshing, you might need to navigate to the specific webpage again, or re-enter information."

On my computer I have to remember that "refresh" looks like a circle with an arrow at the top, and it's the fourth of five icons to the right of the URL. I don't even know what the others are. Then a box pops up and I have to click on "retry".— Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 21:04, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Adminship

Since you are very active in the project, would you like to be an administrator? Do you need tools to move/delete pages for example? Are you active in WP space, involved in xFDs or something similar? -- Magioladitis (talk) 07:03, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

I'll second Magioladitis here. I think you'd do fantastic as an administrator. The choice is entirely yours, but just know that should you ever submit an RfA, you'll have my support. Kurtis (talk) 03:53, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

• Thanks to you both, but I think I would lose interest in WP doing admin things. Hmains (talk) 03:56, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

Understandable. Do whatever you feel comfortable doing, it's not my place to pressure you.

But in the off chance that you ever change your mind, know that I would feel confident in entrusting you with the tools. =) Kurtis (talk) 04:05, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

Delinking

• The delinking of dates was exhaustively discussed by WP prior to the current wording of WP:DATELINK and WP:YEARLINK and MOS:UNLINKDATES being agreed upon. Days, months, years, decades, centuries, etc were all included in the long discussion.

problem

Whatever it is, this problem has not been fixed and there seems to be no activity by the people responsible for this mess to fix it. Hmains (talk) 02:13, 19 September 2013 (UTC) Hmains

I'm sorry that you're still having this frustrating problem. BJorsch named above the three different places where this problem may be caused: 1.your own computer, 2.the WMF's servers, or 3.a server in between you and the WMF's servers.

Each user is necessarily responsible for cacheing problems that appear in his own browser. Please follow all the steps at WP:BYPASS and let us know if that (hopefully!) solves the problem for you. If the problem is the WMF's caches, then it will likely be fixed relatively soon. If the problem is at a third-party server in between you and the WMF (e.g., on your corporate or university network or your local ISP), then I'm afraid that there is often nothing that either you or we are able to do about it except wait for the third-party server to update its cache.

AWB: mass category creation

Can AWB create mass categories? E.g. i need to create categories from ”Football clubs established in 1900” to ”Football clubs established in 2020”. Each category must have 2 categories- parents, one stable ”Football clubs establishements by year” and second incrementable ”Establishements in {{year}}", where {{year}} has value from 1900 to 2020, for each new category incrementation +1. Its possible to do that with AWB? XXN (talk) 19:50, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

@XXN:, yes, check out CSV Loader. You will need to file a BRFA and get approval before you start creating the categories. — Ganeshk (talk) 22:42, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, but i dont understand how to use your plugin)) I know about bot policy, i will work on ro.wiki, i have already submitted an request for approval. XXN (talk) 23:35, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Please follow the steps in this walk through. Please leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions or run into any issues. — Ganeshk (talk) 14:17, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

Speaking of recurring problems...

I notice that in each of the cases mentioned above, the article is in Category:Skyscraper office buildings in Pittsburgh (which is not a non-diffusing category), which is already in Category:Skyscrapers in Pittsburgh (which is not {{all included}}) - so the additional inclusion of the article directly in Category:Skyscrapers in Pittsburgh would appear to directly contradict WP:SUBCAT's assertion that "an article should be categorised as low down in the category hierarchy as possible, without duplication in parent categories above it. In other words, a page or category should rarely be placed in both a category and a subcategory or parent category (supercategory) of that category".

Again, I invite you to explain why the duplication is necessary in these cases, and/or to quote the relevant part of WP:CAT.

Perhaps BrownHairedGirl can explain it.Mitch Ames (talk) 12:19, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

Alafia River and category Rodies of water of Hillsborough County, Florida

Hi, I think you made a mistake at Alafia River when you changed a category to "Rodies of water of Hillsborough County, Florida". I changed Rodies to Bodies, as I'm sure you meant, but then I was unable to make things work out the way they should... Could you take a look? Thanks! Jacona (talk) 14:02, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

• Well, I fixed it. I not only had to fix the article but also the category that I also named wrong. Thanks for noting and trying. I wonder what a 'rody' might be? Certainly an available word for some use. Hmains (talk) 02:50, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

June 2017

This block is for repeatedly using AWB to place articles in non-existent categories. You have been warned about this for many months, most recently in a final warning on 5 June, which you deleted from your talk page, along with the previous warnings.
These errors happens because AWB does not give any conformation of whether a category exists, and you have failed to make manual checks of the validity of you edits. As you have previously been warned, that failure breaches WP:AWB#Rules_of_use #1: "You are responsible for every edit made. Do not sacrifice quality for speed, and review all changes before saving".

Note that first blocks for any offence are usually shorter than this, but after the months of warnings which precede this block and the deletion of those warnings without desisting from the disruption, a longer initial block is appropriate in this case. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 09:47, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

Category question

Hi! I've seen you doing some work with categories in areas I've done some work, for instance "Bodies of water of Polk County, Florida". There is a subcategory "Lakes of Polk County, Florida". I was trying to help, but as I am no expert on how categories and subcategories should be done, I think I may have made things worse... I'm backing away from this for now, I'll try to watch what you do and learn...any explanation or direction you can give me would be appreciated for future use. Thanks for all your efforts!Jacona (talk) 21:06, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for your cleanup of citation needed tags to the poorly sourced page, Russell Young (tennis).

Unfortunately, user keeps removing all the {{fact}} tags.

User also keeps adding back wholly unsourced info and unreferenced claims with no evidence.
