Hey, I just wanted to thank you for your work in the Cadereyta Jiménez massacre! It was a pleasure working with you. Keep up the good work! ComputerJA (talk) 21:38, 18 May 2012 (UTC) |
- Much appreciated. I must return the commendation on your open approach and willing acceptance of the efforts of others. --Ohconfucius ¡digame! 00:35, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

Please see here.[1] I'm sorry about this. The Sound and the Fury (talk) 03:56, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
Hi. I'm importing several of your scripts (thanks for providing them) and notice that various menu items in the toolbar are duplicated. I think this is because each script imports m:User:Pathoschild/Scripts/Regex_menu_framework.js. I have started a section about this at m:User talk:Pathoschild/Scripts/Regex menu framework#Import just once. --Mirokado (talk) 13:34, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
Script error
Extra spaces Your script work is inserting normal spaces after non-breaking spaces and before ndashes for some reason. Please amend it so that it's no longer doing this. Thanks. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 20:40, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
- thanks. you found an interesting error stemming from the dashes script, which is not one of mine but which I use. I've never totally understood the rationale of when a space is inserted, or when an em- or en-dash is used – I merely rely on the script output. In this case, it's almost certainly due to the script interpreting the "&ndash string" as its component characters and not as a hard space. You're right that there should never be a soft space immediately after a hard space as this ddefies the point of the hard space. I've adjusted for it in my formatting script. --Ohconfucius ¡digame! 01:46, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
- No problem I don't know if this helps much, but per WP:DASH, a non-breaking space should precede an ndash, but mdashes should be non-spaced—that is, they should run right up against the text as they are here. Non-breaking spaces are used so that you don't have an ndash hanging on the end of a line with the relevant text on the next one (of course, this is precisely the function of all non-breaking spaces...) I'm not sure if that clarifies anything, but there you have it. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 18:21, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. Homunculus (duihua) 05:50, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
Redirect script
Could you run such a script on my mark (i.e. the next time I notify you) at the articles beginning with "List of township-level divisions of"? The articles of the entries at these lists may be deleted en masse soon, and I don't want my moving work (to make titles conform with WP:NC-ZH) to go up in flames. Thanks much GotR Talk 17:14, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
- I'm not sure I understand what the issue is, or what you want me to do. But let me try: Let's say that for List of township-level divisions of Hebei, there are hundreds of townships listed, such as Youfang (油坊镇). You are anticipating that these 'Youfangs' will be deleted en masse, and you would like me to use a script to create redirects to 'List of township'. Am I getting warm? --Ohconfucius ¡digame! 17:22, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, you are. Once I am finished, I would like you to fix all redirects on that page. That is all. GotR Talk 17:37, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
- I think I get it... So I will open up each of the individual pages listed in 'List of township-level divisions of Hebei', erase the content and make them redirect to the former. Should I actually be redirecting articles section by section, into the most closely related County or District article? --Ohconfucius ¡digame! 17:42, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
- I don't think you get it, yet. Sorry for my failure to elaborate. In the past month or so, I have moved many of the articles listed at List of township-level divisions of Hebei to conform with the new guidelines at the Chinese naming conventions. However, I have not fixed most of the corresponding links, and they need to be corrected to their current titles lest my work is wasted upon deletion of these articles. For example, within the list, [[Longguan, Chicheng County]]→[[Longguan, Hebei]]. I hope that explains everything.
- The articles themselves should be left intact.
- I am now done with Hebei, so please run through it. GotR Talk 18:18, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
Date format script issue
Hi Ohconfucius! When I try to use your date format script on Spider-Man in film, it wants to change each instance of "21st Century" to "21st century". In this case, "21st Century" refers to the 21st Century Film Corporation, and therefore shouldn't be decapitalized. I have a similar issue on the 20th Century Fox article. Could you please tweak your script? Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 01:48, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
- Oh, I see the problem. 21st Century (capitalised) is used as shorthand for 21st Century Film Corporation or 21st Century Fox. My script anticipates any trailing capital that would catch these latter, but it seems there's no way of avoiding the plain vanilla '21st Century'. I'll just have to disable it altogether. Shame, though, because it's also one of the most commonly incorrectly capitalised terms in wikipedia. --Ohconfucius ¡digame! 02:06, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
- Oh, must it be disabled? The C is a not-uncommon error in running prose, and we do examine the diffs and pick up the false positives. This is a rare instance. Tony (talk) 02:10, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
- That's what Batty did, clearly. It's true that the downcasing is still likely to benefit most articles whilst causing this glitch in a much smaller of number of article predominantly involving the film industry. But then there are a lot of articles within the scope of the latter. Even within film articles, chances are that '20th Century' or '21st Century' are used normally and ought to be downcased. How often are these used as abbreviations for the corporate names? I can write all sorts of safeguards into the script, but I need a solid pattern of "dos and don'ts" (what letters or characters to change and what specifically not to change) to work from. Any ideas for a workaround would be appreciated. --Ohconfucius ¡digame! 02:16, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
- Is it possible to skip the downcasing on articles that link to 21st Century Film Corporation or 20th Century Fox? GoingBatty (talk) 02:25, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
- It may be technically possible, but my limited knowledge unfortunately does not enable me to do that. --Ohconfucius ¡digame! 02:30, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

Comics realted articles
Hello,
Just a heads up, but the method you are using to "clean up" articles is making a hash of things with the comics related ones. The "#" used in identifying comic book issues - Superman #250 - is correct, "No" is not.
- J Greb (talk) 11:00, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
- J Greg, hi, I'm almost certain that after a long and careful debate about two years ago, the community decided that the hash is trash, and that an alternative such as "No." is required. many readers won't process the hash easily, especially if, like me, they're not an in-house comics person, don't you agree? Tony (talk) 11:41, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
- I had understood that the hash sign was clearly deprecated in our manual of style. Maybe I should raise the issue there... --Ohconfucius ¡digame! 11:47, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
