Hello, SD0001!
Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:59, 28 May 2023 (UTC) |
Hi SD0001,
I understand that you maintain two tools, User:SDZeroBot/G13 soon and User:SDZeroBot/G13 eligible, used to identify drafts that are eligible to be deleted under G13. Following a recent RfC there is now a limited exception to G13; articles deleted under this process are not eligible for G13 until five years have passed since they were draftified.
These articles are denoted by a template, Template:Special draft, which includes a date parameters specifying the month and year they were moved to draft space. It is my intent to also create a monthly maintenance category, but Ambox doesn't seem cooperative of that for articles in draft space, so I am looking into that further.
Would it be possible for you to update these tools to accommodate this? If it would be easier to do this once the monthly maintenance category let me know and I will contact you again when it is.
For an example of an article subject to this, see Draft:Édouard Martin (wrestler).
BilledMammal (talk) 23:32, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
assuming this will be roughly same as the time of draftificationIt will be; this initial set might be slightly delayed while I learn how to use templates well enough to resolve the category issue, but a few weeks or even a month over the span of five years isn't significant.
Category:Draft articles on comics and anime has been nominated for splitting. A discussion is taking place to decide whether this proposal complies with the categorization guidelines. If you would like to participate in the discussion, you are invited to add your comments at the category's entry on the categories for discussion page. Thank you.

Hey @SD0001 just wanted to thank you for your tip on using rev_id instead of timespace over on Quarry. It's been a lifesaver, I've been able to get much larger files significantly faster than using the previous method. Dr vulpes (💬 • 📝) 02:21, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

Hello SD0001,
The New Page Patrol team is sending you this impromptu message to inform you of a steeply rising backlog of articles needing review. If you have any extra time to spare, please consider reviewing one or two articles each day to help lower the backlog. You can start reviewing by visiting Special:NewPagesFeed. Thank you very much for your help.

Hi SD0001, there's an issue with the way MediaWiki:Request-page-protection-form.js currently works: WP:VPT § WP:RFPP/E broken whenever a CAPTCHA is required. Perhaps there's a way to fix this without investing hours of work to get the CAPTCHA transcluded somehow? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 00:10, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
Hello, SD0001,
Sorry not to post on the bot talk page but I'm not sure how often you check that. Tonight's User:SDZeroBot/G13 soon report is really...odd. There are sometimes problems with formatting this page but I can make an edit and correct the page (it's usually an extra "||" somewhere) but tonight there is just a lot of missing information like dates and times for many of the drafts. Since we go by "last edit", not having this information visible is problematic. Any chance you could run this one again and hopefully get an entire report? Thanks! Liz Read!

Hello SD0001,
Backlog update: At the time of this message, there are 11,300 articles and 15,600 redirects awaiting review. This is the highest backlog in a long time. Please help out by doing additional reviews!
October backlog elimination drive: A one-month backlog drive for October will start in one week! Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Articles will earn 4x as many points compared to redirects. You can sign up here.
PageTriage code upgrades: Upgrades to the PageTriage code, initiated by the NPP open letter in 2022 and actioned by the WMF Moderator Tools Team in 2023, are ongoing. More information can be found here. As part of this work, the Special:NewPagesFeed now has a new version in beta! The update leaves the NewPagesFeed appearance and function mostly identical to the old one, but updates the underlying code, making it easier to maintain and helping make sure the extension is not decommissioned due to maintenance issues in the future. You can try out the new Special:NewPagesFeed here - it will replace the current version soon.
Notability tip: Professors can meet WP:PROF #1 by having their academic papers be widely cited by their peers. When reviewing professor articles, it is a good idea to find their Google Scholar or Scopus profile and take a look at their h-index and number of citations. As a very rough rule of thumb, for most fields, articles on people with a h-index of twenty or more, a first-authored paper with more than a thousand citations, or multiple papers each with more than a hundred citations are likely to be kept at AfD.
Reviewing tip: If you would like like a second opinion on your reviews or simply want another new page reviewer by your side when patrolling, we recommend pair reviewing! This is where two reviewers use Discord voice chat and screen sharing to communicate with each other while reviewing the same article simultaneously. This is a great way to learn and transfer knowledge.

Hello, SD0001. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that User:SD0001/afc-sandbox, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.
If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.
Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 00:07, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
Hello SD0001:
WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 2 months outstanding reviews from the current 4+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 November 2023 through 30 November 2023.
You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.
Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
Hello, SD0001,
I have a question about User:SDZeroBot. It produced two different reports for G13 soon for May 26th, this one and this report. I think one of them should actually be for May 27th G13 soon so I'm just checking to see if there was a mistake. Thanks. Liz Read! Talk! 16:58, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

Hey, SD0001,
It's been a while! I guess that's because problems so rarely pop up with your bot these days, fortunately.
But for some reason, the User:SDZeroBot/G13 eligible report was issued at the regular time but there is no User:SDZeroBot/G13 soon for December 22nd. But this seems to be the exception as SDZeroBot has been very active otherwise. Can you check and see what the problem is?
I hope, if you celebrate end of the year holidays, then you have a great last week of 2023! Thank you for all of your help this year. Liz Read! Talk! 02:12, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
❄️ Happy holidays! ❄️
Hi SD0001! I'd like to wish you a splendid solstice season as we wrap up the year. Here is an artwork, made individually for you, to celebrate. I appreciate all your technical work, and am always happy to be a redirect-class user with you. Take care, and thanks for all you do to make Wikipedia better!Cheers,Hello, SD0001,
First, seasons greetings! I hope you are having a good "last week of 2023" and looking forward to the year ahead.
Secondly, do you know what happened with this report? So much information, including the time of last edit, is missing from this report. Is there any way you could "rerun" the report for July 1st where it would include all of the standard data? Otherwise we will be opening drafts, looking at page histories all day long, repeatedly.
Thanks for any help you can provide. Liz Read! Talk! 02:06, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi SD0001, happy new year, thank you for your help towards me on this wiki at certain times.

Hello, SD0001. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, move subpages when moving the parent page(s), and move category pages.
Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially the criteria for moving pages without leaving a redirect. Please remember to follow post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect
is used. This can be done using Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status can be revoked.
Useful links:
If you do not want the page mover right anymore, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Thank you, and happy editing! Extraordinary Writ (talk) 04:52, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
Hello, SD0001,
Just a note that we didn't get a User:SDZeroBot/G13 soon report today/tonight. We got the G13 eligible report but not the G13 soon. Both January and July have 31 days in the month so that should not be an issue. Thanks for any help you can offer. Liz Read! Talk! 00:55, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi -- could I ask a favour? I'm at work and won't be able to check on ChristieBot for about ten hours. GridEngine has been shut off, and in theory ChristieBot should still be running, but it's been several hours and I've seen no activity on-wiki. There's a GA backlog drive going on so I would expect to see something. I think it's likely that something has broken. Do you have time to take a look? If it's something at the job scheduling level that you can fix, that would be great. If it's in the code I can get to it this evening. Though I think GridEngine can be turned back on again on request, per the announcement I saw here, while we/I fix whatever needs fixing. Thanks.

Hello SD0001,
Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.
Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.
Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.
It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!
2023 Awards
Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!
WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.
Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.
Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Hi -- since you were willing to become a maintainer and help sort out the setup of ChristieBot, I was hoping I could ask for another favour. Back in 2022 you helped me get an app.py to respond to https://ganfilter.toolforge.org. Under the new setup it is no longer working; I'm not sure why but I suspect it's partly because flask is not installed. I've put in the example app.py code from flask.org that you recommended last time, from here, and I just get "internal server error". I'm guessing that the venv needs to be rebuilt to include the installation of flask. I've added "flask==3.0.0" to the requirements.txt but am hesitant to rebuild the venv as I don't really understand that mechanism and don't want to disable the bot by screwing it up. If you have a moment, could you let me know what I need to do to get the example app.py to respond? If you don't have time, no problem. Thanks. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 10:11, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
webservice python3.11 shell
, then ~/www/python/venv/bin/pip list
. Flask 3.0.3 is already installed. Looks like the issue is that the webservice is running on the python3.9 image, while the cronjobs run on the python3.11 image. Venvs are specific to python versions, which is confirmed by going into a python3.9 shell and attempting pip list (it doesn't work). So just restart the webservice and have it run on python3.11. – SD0001 (talk) 15:48, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

@SD0001:Hello and good night! Sorry for bothering you in case you are busy but i need to notify two issues regarding this page (https://sdzerobot.toolforge.org/gans?user=KGRAMR): The Wing of Madoola listing has an erroneous date (1970-01-01) instead of the date when it was approved by the reviewer (2023-12-28) and Ruiner Pinball (which was approved on 2024-03-12) is not listed there at all despite that i am the person who nominated it, which is odd to say the least. If you can fix those issues in anyway i would be grateful but if not then no worries, it's just some odd stuff i noticed.

Hello SD0001, thank you for writing User:SD0001/GAN-helper.js.

Letting you know that I think your SDZeroBot is having an issue with the Linter reports it updates. I noticed yesterday that the error counts were counting high (Articles by Lint Errors for one was displaying 21+ errors for all 1000 displaying entries, when I know for a fact that we have it down to 2 errors max per article (barring any recent flairup)), and now today, two of the reports terminated their updates due to timing out (600 sec). There's no current replag on the Wikipedia servers, so thinking this might be a bot issue and not a server issue. Thanks, Zinnober9 (talk) 15:44, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
