Taxobot

Hi,

Around 10 years ago, you created Taxobot and registered it on Toolforge. It appears to be inactive.

In 2021, Taxobot was created on the French Wikipedia (Github). We would like to attempt deploying that tool on Toolforge under its original name. Since your Taxobot is still registered, albeit inactive, would you be open to rename / delete it on Toolforge to free up the URL for this project?

Thank you. LD (talk) 10:30, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

AA Dragons for you.

Your edit to Gelman-Rubin statistic

Hello! I reverted you recent edit to Gelman-Rubin statistic. Your edit was badly formatted, and unencyclopedic. If you feel the given formula is incorrect, I encourage you to discuss this issue on the article's talk page. Thanks! DoctorMatt (talk) 06:36, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

Well, the talk page already indicates that the forumla is incorrect. I've restored the edit in a more "encyclopaedic" format – if you feel you can improve the formatting, do please feel free to do so, but I think it's worth keeping the reference in there as in my view, it's better to have badly formatted but correct information than formulae that are perfectly formatted but with no indication that they are misleading! Martin (Smith609 – Talk) 09:45, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

Your Bot made a misleading and factually erroneous assertion at the top of a Wikipedia article.

In the Wikipedia article about JAMES ROSEN (author), your bot claimed: "This article relies excessively on references to primary sources. Please improve this article by adding secondary or tertiary sources." This is factually false. Only four of 24 footnoted sources are primary sources; the other 20 footnoted sources are secondary or tertiary sources, as the bot requests. This claim also is nonsensical because primary sources are the gold standard in all biographical or autobiographical work. Blueboy567 (talk) 23:47, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

Blueboy567, that template was added in this edit, not by a bot. – Jonesey95 (talk) 23:00, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Citation bot for mk.wiki

Hello Smith. I am a bureaucrat on mk.wiki and a fellow editor suggested that I should ask you whether the Wikipedia citation bot can be used for our wiki (i.e. whether mk.wiki can be included in the "Wiki to run on". We invariably use English parameters in all our citation templates and we are wondering if we can make use of this excellent tool, if our wiki is enabled for it. Thanks a lot! B.
