See here, where KiranBOT (partially) reverted Citation Bot's edit simplifying Google Books links. I'm not sure if this is just a weird fluke/one-off, but I don't want to end up with a bot edit war. :) Jay8g [V•T•E] 02:54, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Jay8g: hehe. Thanks for letting me know. Edit war is definitely possible. I will look at it soon when I get on the computer. —usernamekiran (talk)04:01, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Jay8g: done. white-listed (or black-listed?) the entire books.google domain — all of them are problematic. thanks for keeping it light-hearted, it is appreciated a lot. —usernamekiran (talk)07:22, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. I hope you are doing great.
Do you have to achieve 500 edits in your first 30 days to get
access to edit extended confirmed protection articles? --Btomthesus (talk) 02:41, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
See Special:Diff/1283820024, in an attempt to remove the AMP url, it made the URL an unhelpful ambiguous URL.
Luckily, the URL wasn't really necessary before since it was syndicated from another source, which I replaced with the original source. I would not be surprised if a lot of yardbarker links did this, since they mostly syndicated then pull articles from other sources, but these become harder to find when they go from this amp url to a more ambiguous one. Might need a quick review to see if this happened anywhere else. If you have a list, I can go through and try and fix them with the original source. Chew(V • T • E)22:29, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Chew: Hi. Yes, none of the yardbarker URLs were usable when I found the issue a few weeks ago. So I added the yardbarker domain to the ignore list, and removed all the problematic yardbarker URLs from the database. There were quite a few of them. Currently there are only seven yardbarker URLs in the database that were operational. I undid all the changes I could find, seems like I missed some. Unfortunately, I do not have a list (as I removed them from the database), but most of the problematic edits were undone. —usernamekiran (talk)15:09, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Awesome, thank you! I'll try and go through and just remove them all if I can for my prior reasons, just wanted to make sure you were aware as well. Appreciate it Chew(V • T • E)00:37, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, Mobico Group isn't headquartered in South Korea. Its still based in Birmingham, UK as it always has been. Not sure why you've updated to say its in Korea? 195.89.235.126 (talk) 09:17, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
