...per our discussion. Note, your TPWs are more than welcome to add articles to the list, and/or spread the word. ++Lar: t/c 03:54, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for helping out! Enigma^msg 03:49, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

You're welcome! :) لennavecia 03:50, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Yes, thanks for your help. (you and everyone else)... The page now has been sunsetted, so don't direct people there any more please... it hopefully did some good. ++Lar: t/c 01:29, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Something I'll probably forget about

...and might be relevant to your interests. If it's worthwhile, perhaps you'd consider taking it under the wings of your nascent BLP cabal? Ciao, Skomorokh 18:22, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

I just saw this. Apologies for not commenting earlier. This is a good idea. Not a coder myself, so can't help there, but I'll surely be one to participate otherwise. Thanks for dropping me a note about it. :) Oh, and be careful with that cabal-talk. We've already been labeled! >_> لennavecia 22:50, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

No worries! I posted another related proposal, but they're useless without someone technical doing the work. Best of luck with WP:WPBLP (and sorry for the name-calling), Skomorokh 01:56, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

For an update on this, User:Mr.Z-man has nobly stepped up to the plate and coded a bot, which has been speedily approved.  Skomorokh  19:08, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Sweet. Thanks for the update. لennavecia 19:11, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

For the TPSs, here we go: Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard/Watchlist. لennavecia 13:07, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

75 views in June. Oh well.  Skomorokh  19:36, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Novel idea is novel. It needs greater advertisement. لennavecia 19:42, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Another BLP ping

Just wanted to point you to Wikipedia:ARFR#Is_BLP_adequately_enforced?, in case you would like to comment. Regards, --JN466 19:57, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

New protection template for BLPs

BLP AFDs

Category:AfD debates (Biographical). Is there any way to have a bot update a subpage to regularly list and update these in order of close time? Maybe updating daily or every 12 hours? Would be helpful to keep them in order. This used to be done with a full page of discussions listed. If it could merely list the links as to avoid bogging down the page with so many kb, that would be awesome. Lara 05:50, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

ST47 has a bot that tracks AFDs by date, and writes a table here. It looks like it stopped running on 7 September. It also tracked AFDs by category (at User:ST47/AfDC), but I think that stopped as well, since I was really the only user who used the table, and I was still on my long-ass wikibreak. The bot still looks like it has approval, so ST47 might be able to do something fancy with it.

On point, The trick would be that AFDs frequently get shifted around in categories - I personally sweep through the Not Yet Sorted, Nom Unsure, and Indiscernable Topic categories and reassign as necessary. So a chronological list of AFDs by category would have to go by the AFD date, not the date on which the article was added. UltraExactZZ ^Claims ~ Evidence 15:42, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Sorting by the date of the AFD is good. I just don't have time to click through 150+ BLP AFDs every day. If they're in order of date, I can just go through the ones that are coming close to ending and either vote or close as needed. I can just go through the daily listing of AFDs, but I generally only care about the biographical ones and I want to be able to keep track of them. Lara 15:47, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

If there's noone else you have to hand, I can add a task to User:FritzpollBot to do this - would just need a target subpage. Let me know if you want me to do this - it looks like a relatively easy task Fritzpoll (talk) 20:39, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Can you set it up for User:Jennavecia/AFDBIO? I appreciate it, Fritz! Lara 20:41, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Just logged in and found this - will get to it after work, should have something by this evening BST Fritzpoll (talk) 07:28, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

 Done - at least the first phase. Can you check the output and tell me about any other formatting issues? I haven't sorted it by expected time of closure within debates: fiddly to get to and generally useless since they get closed out of sequence anyway. That's a design decision I made on your behalf, but let me know if it's critical. If the output is ok, I'll get a BAG approval for it, and update regularly - what interval are you after? Fritzpoll (talk) 13:46, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Speaking for myself, that list looks good - and I'm surprised to see that it found a debate from June sitting there unlisted, which I closed. The only other element that might be helpful would be to add a notation for relisted debates. It might be as simple as adding (relisted) at the end of the listing for any debate that includes Category:Relisted AfD debates. This would distinguish between debates that are close to being closed, and debates that have another 7 days or so to run. I defer to Lara, though, as this is her area and her request - but good, quick work there, Fritzpoll. UltraExactZZ ^Claims ~ Evidence 14:18, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

I think it's great. I too was amused by the June debate. I agree with Ultra that having a notation for the relisted debates would be nice. Overall, though, this is exactly what I wanted. Thank you! Lara 14:25, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

That did throw me to start with - I thought it was a bug in the code! I'm currently re-running the code with a small check for relists - won't necessarily know if it works until there is a relisted debate. How often do you want your subpage updated? Fritzpoll (talk) 17:17, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

At least once a day. I think every 24-hours is probably sufficient. Lara 17:19, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Right, going through the motions at Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/FritzpollBot 4 just in case this causes some dramatic objection - expecting it to sail through though. Fritzpoll (talk) 18:27, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

 Done - was speedily approved. Daily updates will occur around lunchtime in Britain - there'll be a shift tomorrow as I place it on a permanently active machine of mine. Thereafter, every 24 hours. Any problems, or bugs, let me know. Fritzpoll (talk) 12:14, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, Frirzpoll. I appreciate it. Lara 12:41, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
