FlickrBot: creating pages after they're deleted.

Hello. Your bot is checking the flickrreview category, but it is not checking that the file is being deleted. It is then going and recreating the file description page with empty content. One example, of many: File:Window detail bethlemi (10600355815).jpg. Please fix. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 01:09, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

Will do tomorrow. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 09:28, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

File : L-2010-Alinghi-5.jpg

Hello,

I modified a picture, just retouching, from Wikimedia commons with this permission : User:Flickr upload bot/upload|date=16:20, 14 February 2010 (UTC)|reviewer=Liesel - cc-by-2.0. but the bot FlickrReviewR2 could not determine what the source image from Flickr was and proposes that file deletion.

Review failed

Hi! I wonder about this. I took the image directly from largest available size link given by Flinfo. For most cases file from this link seems to be fine for review bot. In this case, is it a Flinfo problem or review bot problem? Pikne 07:41, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

Flickrreview hasn't operated for 2 days. Perhaps its in maintenance. As for me, I am slowing down my activities on human flickr review due to time constraints. Best Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 00:11, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

Radicals bot work

Thank you for looking to my request. Your question: "Regular Style CJKV Radical ### (×).svg" means: any (×), whatever its × value from 0 to n - every one of the 494 files.
You may insert the {{Rcat... wherever you like; but for all three request the optimum would be either to

  • add it to the }}-line closing the filedesc,
  • update the (empty) line between filedesc and license, or
  • insert a new line between them -

whatever is the least work of this. sarang♥사랑 14:23, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

✓ Should be all done now --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 15:01, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

Thank you so much - everything is fine now.
BTW: Since long I have another request for category diffusion in Created with Inkscape-hand-addition-BOTrequ. If you can care for them as well?
Looks to be rather easy VFC tasks. Sorry that I am not yet experienced with VFC. sarang♥사랑 16:02, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

Sorry I overlooked this. 2 & 3 should be all done. 1 has some files with <ref> tags, and they are skipped. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 12:03, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
Sorry for the troubles with #1. Since I created the list the file description had been altered.
I removed the categories #2 and #3, and reduced Created with Inkscape-hand-addition-BOTrequ1 - now only 90 are remaining. At these, just the {{Inkscape-hand}} should be changed against {{Inkscape-hand|cat=a|tag=v|sub=-vapen|vstyle=float:left}}. Would you mind to do that sometimes? Thank you. sarang♥사랑 09:01, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
✓ Should be all done --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 09:52, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

Yes, it's fine. They are now removed from the category. When I looked it over I dedected more candidates for category diffusion, to distress the too crowded main category. I collected them: same category & same procedure as last time. sarang♥사랑 11:03, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

✓ Done --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 13:18, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

Thank you. I still have several tasks of subcategorizing files to get them out of a main category with thousands of entries. Because I am not experienced in VFC I will need you more often. How about that: Sure I will be able to understand and adjust an existing program sequence. When you will give me a little help I would be able to use your VFC utility - and I do not need to bother you any more.
Otherwise, the BOTreq1-category is provided with a new collection and a new replace string. Thanx sarang♥사랑 15:36, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

I can try to give you the instructions for this task:
  1. First, install VFC
  2. Go to Category:Created with Inkscape-hand-addition-BOTrequ1
  3. Click "Perform batch task" on your sidebar, in the "Tools" section.
  4. A popup will ask you for the target, in this case it's already prefilled. So click "Proceed"
  5. Select "custom replace" in the "action" drop down menu on the top left.
  6. Paste {{Inkscape-hand}} to "Pattern to match", and {{Inkscape-hand|tag=v|cat=a|sub=-bandera|vstyle=float:left}} to "Text to insert instead"
  7. Don't forget to "Examine scheduled changes"!
  8. Load all files by repeatedly scrolling to the bottom and click "more". Note: sometimes the button is automatically clicked when the screen scrolled to the bottom.
  9. Check "(De-)select all loaded: " on the top.
  10. Click "Execute (custom replace)" on bottom right.
  11. The mass replace will start. In case the original wikitext is not found, the file would have a yellow box around it. Watch out for them.
--Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 03:23, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
You explained it very well, now I understood and it is quite easy. As long I shall be successful with VFC, i.e. not needing a real bot task for more complicated edits, I can now do it by myself. Thank you and good bye! -- sarang♥사랑 11:32, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

The template transcluded on pages for "no source found" (User:FlickreviewR/reviewed-nosource) points to User:FlickreviewR rather than User:FlickreviewR_2. Protonk (talk) 19:02, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

I'm not sure if I should change this. The user page still belongs to User:FlickreviewR not User:FlickreviewR 2 --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 09:42, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
I wouldn't change it, template is also used by images reviewed by the old bot. Banner on top of the old bot userpage directing to new bot is sufficient. --Denniss (talk) 11:10, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

Size not found?

File:Knowle_Mill_(Bembridge_Windmill).jpg is available at FLICKR at 2880 x 4320. Gordo (talk) 14:07, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

"size" refers to the size of the file, not the resolution of the image. The "size_not_found" error is quite complicated and I have no will to look into it. In such cases, please wait or ask for manual review. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 08:57, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
