Choboty

Operator User:ChongDae

Task: automatic creating Items, mainly Korea-related.

I want to run bot on wikidata. I'll based on Korean wikipeda articles and their interwiki links. You can check test edit in Q41790. -- ChongDae (talk) 08:35, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

Does your bot check for interwiki conflicts? Which data is added (sitelinks, ..)? Merlissimo (talk) 11:37, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

I'm also operating global interwikibot, Chobot. After checking interwiki conflict, I'm adding entries to wikidata. I plan to add entries by category in kowp. (Eg, Cities in South Korea, Politicians in South Korea, ...). The bot adding sitelinks and labels(removing parenthesis) and simple descriptions (based on the category). -- ChongDae (talk) 01:08, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

Now lables for zh-s/zh-t are implemented using library. See Q50191. -- ChongDae (talk) 02:12, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

Pause proceedings please Denny Vrandecic is saying that they don't want bots creating items yet, because we're still looking for errors. Sven Manguard Wha? 22:06, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

I see. -- ChongDae (talk) 01:08, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

 Support Choboty is a hard-working bot in ko.wiki. and never creates any disputes.--NuvieK (talk) 15:42, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

 Support --Snaevar (talk) 18:25, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

 Support Thank you for helping here. --Sotiale (talk) 11:11, 20 November 2012 (UTC)

 Support He can control well-- DangSunM (T · C) 02:27, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

 Question What happened between Q50450 and Q50568[1]? Pause for 11 minutes? Is it related to this? --Stryn (talk) 10:58, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

It could be a wikidata bug. See my reply in the dev. team page. -- ChongDae (talk) 02:11, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

• 261 test edits is about 211 to 231 more than normal, but let's ignore that for now. At the very least, until actual standards are written, I would not be comfortable unless the bot had a) a bright line cutoff of no more than 30 edits per minute, and b) the ability to recognize when replag is high and shut off temporarily until the servers regain their footing. Sven Manguard Wha? 17:20, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

I would also preferr a meximum rate of 30 edits/min but than you will have my  Support (unsigned by Sk!d (talk) 13:12, 1 December 2012 (UTC))

• After speaking with Merlissimo over IRC, I feel that it would be a good idea to have you do a second test run, just to make sure that the bot works on the new API. If it does, I'll approve this immediately, as the request has lingered for far too long. Merlissimo suggests a test run of 1000 edits. I think that sounds reasonable for this kind of task. Sven Manguard Wha? 01:16, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
  • A test run is going for the kings of Goreo dynasty. You can compare Chobot's Q493659 and MerlIwBot's Q334312. -- ChongDae (talk) 08:06, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
    • Descriptions shouldn't start with things like a, an, or the. See this change. Can you please make sure that you update the bot to account for that? Sven Manguard Wha? 15:43, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
  • About 240 edits are done after test requests. Is this enough? -- ChongDae (talk) 06:38, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
•  Question. Is there a duplicate check for label/description in the new API? There are TWO king Jeongjong in Goryeo dynasty, the 3rd king (Q493659) and the 10th king (Q494135). When uploading the later by bot, it failed(same title/description?). After changing the description of the later entry, I can create the entity. -- ChongDae (talk) 08:17, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

For example King Jeongjong - 3rd king in the Goryeo dynasty and King Jeongjong - 10th king in the Goryeo dynasty. Jou should always create unique pairs of label and description. Jeblad (talk) 15:50, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

• Oh, yes, this. I haven't been on lately, but I really did want to deal with this earlier. Since no one else is being proactive with bot applications, and the test edits were fine, I'm going to approve this. Merlissimo, whom I consulted on IRC, concurs.
