[edit] How to comment and vote

Any logged-in user is welcome to vote and to comment on the requests below. Votes from unregistered users are not counted, but comments may still be made. If the nomination is successful, a bureaucrat will grant the relevant rights. However, the closing bureaucrat has discretion in judging community consensus, and the decision will not necessarily be based on the raw numbers. Among other things, the closing bureaucrat may take into account the strength of any arguments presented and the experience and knowledge of the commenting users. For example, the comments and votes of users who have zero or few contributions on Commons may at the bureaucrat's discretion be discounted.

It is preferable if you give reasons both for Support votes or Oppose ones as this will help the closing bureaucrat in their decision. Greater weight is given to argument, with supporting evidence if needed, than to a simple vote.

[edit] Jean-Frédéric

Vote

Jean-Frédéric (talk · contributions · deleted user contributions · logs · block log) [count edit]

Scheduled to end 8 December 2009(2009-12-08), 02:27 (UTC)

It's the first time I'm proposing someone to become an administrator on Commons.

English: Jean-Frédéric is a very active contributor on this project (perhaps, more than myself). His editcount is presently 2988 and 220 of his editions have been deleted; most of them were copyvio he tagged.
Active in seeking copyvios, Jean-Frédéric (known as Jean-Fred in real life and on Twitter) is also a very active template maker. For example, he recently created {{Mérimée}}, which is very useful for historical monuments of France. All of his actions show that he’s really involved in the development of Commons, especially in video games, and that he’s a trustable user.
The administrator tools would allow him to delete unappropriate files without making a deletion request. He will also be able to work on protected templates.
Pymouss Let’s talk - 21:03, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Français : Jean-Frédéric est l’un des contributeurs les plus actifs de ce projet (sans doute, plus que moi). Son compteur d’Édith montre actuellement qu’il a fait 2988 éditions et il compte 220 contributions supprimées ; pour la plupart, il s’agit de copyvios purgés après qu’il les a signalés.
Actif dans la chasse aux copyvios, Jean-Frédéric (connu sous le nom de JeanFred dans la vraie vie et sur Gazouilleur) est aussi un créateur de modèles particulièrement actif. Par exemple, il a récemment créé {{Mérimée}}, un outil très utile pour le Projet Monuments Historiques français. Dans toutes ses actions, il montre qu’il est vraiment impliqué dans le développement de Commons, notamment dans les jeux vidéo, et qu’il est un utilisateur de confiance.
Les outils d’administrateur lui serait utiles pour supprimer les fichiers inappropriés sans faire de demande de suppression. Il pourra aussi travailler sur des modèles protégés.
Pymouss Parlons-nous - 21:03, 30 novembre 2009 (UTC)

Thanks Pymouss. After thorough reading of Commons:Guide to adminship, I gladly accept the nomination. Jean-Fred (talk) 02:27, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Support:

Deutsch: Definitiv. Zu allererst ist mir seine sehr gute Arbeit im Bereich des Auto-Übersetzens aufgefallen. Er hat bei zahlreichen Vorlagen die Auto-Übersetzung aktiviert und sie zudem alle ins Französische übersetze. Anschließend sah ich, wie er immer wieder die „Lang-.*“-Vorlagen bearbeitete und dabei die grade zuvor von ihm übersetzte Commons-Seite hinzufügte. Doch das ist nicht alles, was sich in seinen Beiträgen finden lässt. Er ist ebenfalls ein gut arbeitender Urheberrechtsverletzungs-Jäger und hat ziemlich häufig kategorisiert. Bei all seinen Bearbeittungen hat er die Zusammenfassung benutzt, um so die Bearbeitung verständlicher zu machen. Entsprechend denke ich, dass er eindeutig bewiesen hat, dass er für das Amt eines Admins in der Lage ist.

English: Absolutely. I first noted his very good work in the area of autotranslating templates. He enabled the autotranslation of quite a lot templates, which he all translated into French as well. Secondly, I noted edits to "Lang-.*" templates, where he added the next French Commons project page that he has translated. But this isn't everything that's findable in his contribution list. He's also a very well working copyvio hunter and he categorized quite a lot. With all edits, he made use of the "edit summary" in order to make his edits comprehensible. Thus, I believe that he has clearly shown that he's able to be a good admin.

Français : Absolument. La première fois, je l'ai vu autotraduire beaucoup de modèles qu'il a toujours traduit également en français. Après, il a modifié de nombreux modeles « Lang-.* » ou il a ajouté la page du projet qu'il a traduit en français. Mais ce n'est pas tout. Il est aussi à la chasse aux atteintes aux droit d'auteur et il fait beaucoup avec des catégories. Il utilise toujours le résumé de sorte que les autres gens peuvent mieux comprendre ses modifications. C'est pourquoi je trouve qu'il peut être un très bon administrateur.

[edit] Jarekt

Vote

Jarekt (talk · contributions · deleted user contributions · logs · block log)

Scheduled to end 7 December 2009(2009-12-07), 16:18 (UTC)

Hi, Commons is the primary wiki I am active on. I am quite active user with over 30k edits in 2.5 years I was involved. I operate user:JarektBot which had 261k edits in a year. My contributions include:

Template improvements and unification. I was very involved in overhauling {{location}} template family and {{creator}} template, often working, with admins who were allowed to edit those protected templates. I am also involved in template localization/internationalization efforts.
Patrolling new edits. Mostly image annotations, new Creator pages and through my 6.5k file watchlist. I do have rollback and patrolling rights
Image categorization and category organization. I ofter organize image collections related to topics I am interested in. For example: Category:Poland in World War II, category:climbing, category:x-rays. I was also involved in adding categories and descriptions to images from Category:Bundesarchiv and Category:Deutsche Fotothek.
Standardization and internationalization of pages in Creator namespace. That includes organization of categories most affected by problems with autocategorizing creator pages (see here for status]).
Adding my own photographs, scanning of old photographs (see here) or adding and organizing PD images I find on the web (like most of images in here or here).
Removing watermarks from 2-3k images. See here or here.
Contributing to Commons:Village_pump, policy, guidelines and template documentation pages. See Commons:Credit line or Commons:Image annotations.
My bot was involved for a while in header internationalization efforts.
Moving images from pl and en wikis to commons.
Occasionally I also help with DR (see here or here).

This is my second try to gain Administrative rights. The first one was unsuccessful due to lack of votes, see Commons:Requests and votes/Jarekt. I am planning to use my admin rights mostly to "edit the interface and other protected pages" and "protecting Commons against vandalism" ¹. --Jarekt (talk) 16:18, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

"Images from US Navy, location Everett, Wash." is not a valid category name. It's just one of the temporary categories from the navy upload where someone created a description page. Maybe with "Wash." spelled out it could be a valid name. For tests, you might want to use the ones listed here -- User:Docu at 14:53, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

I cant see a problem in the first few edits so it looks ok for me to give a botflag. Huib talk 18:13, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

I don't see any issues so far. You can speed up the bot to do more edits than 1 per minute. Please give us a new edit rate if you want it to be quicker. — Kanonkas // talk // e-mail // 12:19, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
- Edit rate is not important. User knows what he's doing so fire it up :-) Multichill (talk) 12:56, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
  - What I saw from this specific bot, I saw if I would run it without ratelimit, it would reach about 4 edits per minute. The default for pywikipedia is 1 edit per 10 seconds, so about 6 per minute max. Seems to make sense to keep it at the default then? Akoopal (talk) 23:41, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
I think will be good idea to improve edit summaries (list added/removed categories). HotCat summaries may be used as example. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 17:01, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

Trusted user and experienced bot programmer on nl:wiki. Glad to have him aboard. Wutsje (talk) 23:33, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

On which files do you plan running this bot? Do you check the parent and the subcategories of the trees you are filtering on? -- User:Docu at 09:23, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

Currently there are only 7 edits, can you do 100 test edits? -- User:Docu at 10:48, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
- I am currently on the dutch wikipedia working on mill-project there. From that perspective I plan to work a bit more on the mill pictures on commons. I don't want to do big botwork, but in that work you sometimes find for example a big number of pictures in a category that are left in the top-level categories. A very big one Multichill did for me, and as that appeared very simple I did a test on a small one I noticed after that.
- Be aware I am not asking for a botbit, only permission to once in a while run a bot. As said only small maintenance work I notice when cleaning up the mill-category.
- Having said that, I might look around if I quickly see more work, but doing a 100 edits might be a lot, given how I work. Akoopal (talk) 12:41, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
  - The risk with running this type of bot is that if you run it on random images it might remove categories that appear to be superfluous just because either parent categories are incorrect or lack other subcategories. If you limit it to a specific field or do it on assisted basis only, it shouldn't be a problem. BTW, it's not a problem if it takes you some time to get the 100 edits. -- User:Docu at 13:57, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
    - I understand the concern. The instances I will look at will mostly be that I find a very specific category, like a category with the pictures of one mill, where all the pictures were not removed from the parent categories. I will certainly not run it over random pictures. Akoopal (talk) 22:11, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

The summary say all that the bot can do in a same edit. The bot not put 2 times te same thing just to "make the summary right" and I think that is better say all and the bot correct only one of the problems, then say "put just X" and the bot do X, Y and Z in that edit.

I know that cannot put this in all photos, but I running the bot in one of my categories and just utilize the same edit to do that too. Béria Lima ^Msg 02:18, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

I'm a bit confused. Do you have any other tasks that the bot may perform? Such as "other media related cleanup tasks"? As I said above, it seems you're indicating you do have other tasks.

Hi, as task #1 ist a one time task you can also send my a list (all contributions of Fale I think) and I let my bot do the work. If you are planing to create a internationalisation bot of your own you should add more than just one task, way more. And it is really tricky to avoid all the problems. But as you are a native Italian Speaker you can help me improve my bot in this language or I can borrow you code unfortunately I write in a totally differen language. --Schlurcher (talk) 21:48, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

I would create a sistem like pushforcommons with the advantage of being able to create a "more massive" movement. I will also use a patched version of the commonshelper2 as backend of the bot. In this way all the categorization stuff will work as well as in commonshelper. Fale (talk) 16:26, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

The categorization worked fine. That could use a flag. But uploading new images could be done without a flag so we can see them. How many files are we talking about? 100 a day? 1,000 a day? 10,000 a day? --MGA73 (talk) 19:14, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Please make a test run. The test run should consist of task 1, 2, and 3. 30 edits for each task (minimum). Overall, you should get 90 edits or more in total. — Kanonkas // talk // e-mail // 13:26, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] FPCBot

Operator: Daniel78 (talk)

The tasks would be the exact process that is described here except the bot can not sort the candidates into categories, but would instead need to put new promotions into an unsorted page like the VI and QI bots do. Currently the bot focuses on the featuring process, but there is also a similar delisting process that this bot could work on.

Bot's tasks for which permission is being sought:

This is the same as mentioned above but more condensed:

Add voting results to nominations by counting the oppose and support votes
Edit the title of the nominations, whether they were featured or not
Add the newly promoted pictures to an unsorted page, that will be manually sorted into categories by humans
Add the template {{Featured picture}} or {{Assessments|com=1}} to the image description page.
Add the picture to the chronological list of featured pictures.
Add the template {{FPpromotion|File:XXXXX.jpg}} to the Talk Page of the nominator.
Move the nomination from Commons:Featured picture candidates/candidate list to Commons:Featured picture candidates/Log/December 2009.

Automatic or Manually Assisted:

The goal is to make it fully automated but obviously it will be fully manually supervised until it has gone through careful testing. The first implementation will have an interactive flag always set that will require you to manually answer 'Y' before each edit is posted.

Edit type (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): Once a day (closing all the nominations that are then more than 9 days old)

Maximum edit rate (eg edits per minute): Can be low, I do not expect many edits in a day

Bot flag requested: (Y/N): Y

Programming Language(s): Python (using pywikipedia)

[edit] Discussion

I support he idea of having such a bot. It has been discussed numerous times, but no one has gotten as far with it as you. I have also considered from time to time to implement such a bot, but I realized it that especially the vote counting and closure would be a delicate manner to automate. I therefore appreciate that you intend to get human confirmation for each edit in the beginning. A couple of points/recommendations for you to consider:

There are several different voting templates which mean the same thing, i.e., {{support}}, {{sup}}, {{PRO}}, {{Oui}} and several other templates all mean "support". How do you detect that list of valid templates to look for? Personally I would probably start each run by locating all templates which link to the support, oppose, etc vote icons, and if new ones have been defined since the last run, let the bot operator decide if the new ones should be added to lists of valid vote templates or not.
Does you vote counting procedure ignore anonymous votes?
Does your vote counting procedure check for duplicate votes by the same user?
Does your vote counting procedure ignore votes cast after the voting period?
- If yes, do they strike them out or mark them as being invalid as part of the closing?
Does your vote counting procedure handle striked out votes?
There may be other delicate special cases which I have not thought of, such as handling the new {{OpposeReasons}} template
To test that you voting procedure works well, I recommend that you grind yourself through all closed FPC noms, let it count the votes off-line and compare it with the official results. In case of deviations you should check manually, if it was the manual vote count which was erroneous or your vote counting procedure.
When you place the Assessments or FeaturedPicture template on the file page, will it then properly add a subpage parameter to the template for file pages, which have a name which differs from the subpage name of the FPC nomination (to make sure the link works)?

--Slaunger (talk) 13:43, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for all the pointers. I have thought about several of the issues here but I have so far just spent two evenings on the implementation. The current state is that it handles the english versions of the voting templates for example both {{sup}} and {{support}} including the capitalized versions. It also avoids counting such votes that are striked out and use of {{withdraw}}. Including other versions of the voting templates is not hard, just about adding them to the current regexps, your tip about which templates that includes the icons sounds good, I will look at that.

In it's current state there is no detection of 2,3,4, and thus it relies on humans to have striked such votes out before the nomination is closed. It could be implemented but making a parser that robustly knows which templates that was added by which users might be a bit tricky, you would have to look at the edit log to be sure it was not another user that added a fake signature. But even the manual process is vulnerable to people who really want to tamper with the votes, we can't guard against everything. One option could be to have the bot close the nominations at one time, then wait 24 hours or something before actually moving it away and thus give some time for human inspection of the result and also some time for others to see the result if they are not watching the nomination.

Another issue that is hard for the bot is nominations that includes edited versions, it's hard for the bot to know which edit to look at as it is not certain that it's the latest or the one with most support. The current implementation will just ignore such nomnations and leave it for humans to sort out. The bot could add a message when the time is up for such nominations telling that this needs to be counted manually.

Your point 7 seem to be a very good way of doing a testrun to check the implementation. I will look into that, that could also be used to gather some interesting statistics about previous results.

I have not yet started with the implementation of moving/parking the finished results. But that should be quite simple, it's just about moving the template to the mentioned pages in a certain format, I will focus on the vote counting first. /Daniel78 (talk) 16:34, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Two more question, which I forgot in first round:

Will the bot be capable of handling the rule of the fifth day?
Will the bot be capable of closing noms, where an {{FPX}} has been cast and has not been followed by a support vote less than 24 h after?

--Slaunger (talk) 13:54, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Not yet implemented. Rule of the fifth day should be a simple addition. {{FPX}} is a bit trickier as I would have to find out exactly when the template was added, if the users follow the example and sign it including the date it should be ok. /Daniel78 (talk) 16:34, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Could you please make a test run? --EugeneZelenko (talk) 15:03, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

I think a good test would be what Slaunger mentions above, to actually run it against the old results and list all differences. I would need to implement some missing parts before that though. /Daniel78 (talk) 16:34, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Comment I agree with Slaunger on his above points, and make the following suggestions:
- Use the {{Assessments|com=1}} template, as it means that FP status for other Wikis can be added easily
- Have the bot notify the creator/uploader, if they are not the same as the nominator. Sarcastic ShockwaveLover (talk) 17:01, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Info: I have now improved a bit on the count parser and the current results against an old log has been made where I have also explains the reason for the cases where there currently is a difference: TestRun1. This is just a verification test run, thus no edits was made by the bot. /Daniel78 (talk) 12:29, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

- Comment It is overall a convincing test, which shows that your bot handles vote counting with a reliability, which matches human vote counting. I have posted some detailed comments on the test page. I do not think it is a requirement that you parser can handle all the special cases I mentioned originally - at least not for starters - as long as your bot knows which FPCs it should skip (multiple noms in same subpage, FPX, etc.). I would suggest that the bot summarized its results in a template, like {{FPC-results-ready-for-review}}. This template should automatically associate the FPC subpage to a category, i.e., Category:Featured picture candidates awaiting closure review. A human should then check the closure result, possibly correct mistakes in the vote counts and change the template to, e.g., {{FPC-results-reviewed}}, which places the subpage in a new category, i.e., Category:Featured picture candidates awaiting closure. The bot could then process all subpages in this category, whenever it runs, perhaps changing the template again to a final {{FPC-results}} (which takes it out of the aforementioned category, but renders the result in the same manner) do the archiving, notification on nominators and creators talk pages, and move it to a page for categorization. --Slaunger (talk) 13:57, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
  - Comment I think this makes sense, it lets the bot do the main work but still leaves the control to the users. So in short the bot do a step 1 (count and add the results) and then just wait for confirmation by any user and then do step 2 (move them). I stared with some very simple versions of the templates mentioned here. /Daniel78 (talk) 22:07, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
    - Great that you are implementing my idea and can see its purpose. I looked at the templates. I think they look fine. In the beginning the {{FPC-results-ready-for-review}} could perhaps be written out prepared with a category parameter (although this template does not support it), such that the manual work done by the reviewer changing the template name to {{FPC-results-reviewed}} is minimized. Agree that if the human closure reviewer adds the end category in that single step we do not need the {{FPC-results}} also. A later refinement could be some JS wizardry added for the human closure reviewers convenience, which lets this user select the end category from a drop down box or something like that. --Slaunger (talk) 05:55, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
      - I have now implemented the parking procedure ( that moves reviewed candidates into the specific pages ). I know there are issues to fix, but the main implementation part is now done so I have performed some testing. Yet only of some failed candidates though, I have to wait for some candidates that passes to test that part :). I also mentioned it here. I agree that some JS in the template to make it even easier would be great. /Daniel78 (talk) 18:05, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
The bot has now been doing manual runs for a while and I have ironed out a few issues, you can see it's recent changes. Although there are still things to improve I think it handles most common situations by now. I will continue to look after it of course but I think it could be time to let it run as a cron job and as I understand it I need this request accepted before I do that. /Daniel78 (talk) 20:02, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
- This is looking good to me. This bot is ambitious and if it works, very nifty. How about giving you tentative approval for automation with a view to making that permanent after a few more runs? Would the community see the need to do that? Presumably you are prepared to clean up any messes and enhance the code to avoid them happening again. Else I think just go to approval and call this done. ++Lar: t/c 23:30, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
  - I can set it up for automated runs this weekend, and yes if something goes wrong I will of course fix it :) I also have some improvements on my todo list so I will continue to improve on the code. The code is also public so if I for some strange reason would leave commons, it would be available for anyone else to pick up. /Daniel78 (talk) 20:55, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
Please be far more exact about when the bot may do something. I might agree that the bot may do most proposed actions once, after the mentioned picture has indeed been promoted. I probably will not oppose anymore if that "once, after" are made clear. Erik Warmelink (talk) 20:46, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
- I am not sure exactly what you mean. Do you mean that you want some clearer statements like, "if condition A the bot does B, ... , if condition X the bot does Z" and so on ? /Daniel78 (talk) 00:27, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
  - Sorry, I have little time left. Yes, like that. It already says "the newly promoted image" for one action and I assume other actions are also only done once for that same picture, but that isn't clear. Erik Warmelink (talk) 16:46, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
    - I have added more detailed information at the bots user page User:FPCBot. For even more detailed information the source is also linked from the bot page. /Daniel78 (talk) 20:49, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

Personally I would prefer if the bot would only do the organising bits. A human editor should be the one doing the tallying, instead of the bot. — Kanonkas // talk // e-mail // 13:12, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

The bot is doing both, but as can be seen on the bot page there is the human verification step so nothing is closed before that has happened. Thus mostly you can just accept the bot count after checking it. Besides the bot has already been working now for over 2 month with around 2000 edits without any issues raised from the users involved in the FPC process. In essence the bot is already running as if it already had the bot flag except that I check on it daily which I would probably do anyway. So all in all can this bot be accepted ? Of course many improvements can be made, but is not that a separate discussion from this request as long as it does not cause any trouble ? /Daniel78 (talk) 15:03, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

I support the idea of this bot, even with basic functionality it helps with a labourious and error prone task. I think that image nominators watch the progress of their nominations like a hawk and errors (eg in counting due to strange support/decline templates) will be quickly picked up. There are many additions and refinements that can be added as we go, we could delegate discussion of their exact implementation to the FPC talk page if they fall within the general guidelines for operation approved here. My only real concern is support of this code: FP is a long term project, people come and go, the last thing we want is to become dependant on this bot (and its master) and suddenly find that it is unsupported. Can we stipulate that at least two people are familiar enough, and have access to, the code so that it will always be maintained (need some sort of handover to a new person if one of them leaves the project). --Tony Wills (talk) 20:29, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

I will never leave :) Just kidding of course that could happen, but the bots user page already points to the source code in a publicly available git repository that anyone can make a clone of. And hopefully I have documented it well enough both on the bots page and in the source code for someone to pick it up without too much difficulty. But of course if anyone feels like being "co-owner" of the bot code that is perfectly fine with me. /Daniel78 (talk) 20:39, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

The code looks reasonably documented to my unfamiliar eye :-). I have only just scanned through the code, but I am wondering whether it strips out html comments and nowiki blocks and any other comment types, before counting templates. I can think of a couple of ways that extra votes might be seen by the bot, but not apparent to the human eye ;-) --Tony Wills (talk) 11:29, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

I was just considering ways that the striked out template detector might be fooled, but think it is ok. But I just realised that the "ImageNote" block can contain templates (one current nomination contains a support template I seem to recall) which I expect will happily (incorrectly :-) counted. Also I presume you leave it to humans to notice unsigned/anonymous votes. --Tony Wills (talk) 11:49, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

The vote counting implementation is currently very simple, it skips votes that are striked out but do not skip any other votes. Accounting for all uncommon ways of using the templates would probably just make the code more complex than necessary. Nice example with the image note though, I had not though of that :) But as long as we have the manual review step this should not be a big problem. I have no statistics but the rate of counts that are incorrect seem to be very low. I think the next improvement to focus on is how to handle closure of candidates that contain multiple images and not the vote count, because it's the closing that is a lot of manual work, not the counting. But I say it again; to me all these improvement discussions does not feel to belong in this bot flag request, they belong in a place where visible to people involved in the FPC process. /Daniel78 (talk) 21:57, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

The trouble is that people expect computers to be able to count (who checks the adding up of cash-registers?), I waited to see the outcome of the imagenotes example, and sure enough [3] everything looked in order and the ghost vote was included in the count, and confirmed manually - and I don't think any other confirmer would have looked any harder . No effect on the outcome this time, but incorrect never-the-less. Would doing a pre-pass to strip imagenotes, html comments, and nowiki blocks be too difficult? --Tony Wills (talk) 23:22, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

People probably look more carefully when it's a borderline case but still reducing the probability of errors by getting the bot count better would be nice of course. Filtering out the cases you mention would not be too hard, it's basically just doing the same check as for the <s> tag. I will have a look at it soon as I have now also implemented some basic support for handling candidates with several edits as mentioned on the FPC discussion page. Double votes, anonymous votes and late votes are a bit tricker though. But might happen later also, I have never thought about making this perfect from the start, but it's progressively getting better and better. /Daniel78 (talk) 23:47, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Ok I have now implemented such that the bot filter out the following content before counting votes: The <s> tag, the <nowiki> tag, ImageNotes and HTML comments. Thanks for the suggestions. I used this nomination for verification. If you can think of more tags or templates that needs to be filtered out tell me and I'll add it. /Daniel78 (talk) 00:41, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Thank you, it is almost perfect ;-). Some ghost voting might have been quite subtle, eg if I had added a comment:

Comment Please use {{support}} or {{oppose}} when voting.

I would have effectively negated one other persons support vote. Yes the confirmation process should have picked it up, but as time goes on people would start to trust the bot to count and easily miss such a mistake. So on behalf of generations of FP nomination to come, thank you :-) --Tony Wills (talk) 01:02, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi, Daniel, please take a look at two voting templates in a single vote with a single signature. Could the bot handle it?--Mbz1 (talk) 20:43, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
- There is not yet any check for such issues. It's up to the reviewer to determine which vote to use if one person has specified several. But in the future the bot could at least get the ability to detect ambiguous votes. /Daniel78 (talk) 21:47, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
  - One strategy to resolve such votes is to simply accept their last vote, but that doesn't resolve entries like that where templates have been used as comments (I would say his vote is Neutral, and he is dithering about whether to make it an Oppose). Strictly it would also mean you would have to look at the timestamps of each vote to see which was posted last. Easiest stategy is to just discount all multiple voting. But with both these strategies you have to make a list of all voters as you go and tally their votes and add lots of complication to handle these exceptions. There are lots of other stuff ups that voters can make, some of which haven't been thought of yet :-). I think it is sensible to just have humans confirm the vote, but give them exact instructions on what to look out for that the bot doesn't/can't handle. --Tony Wills (talk) 23:53, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
    - Yes even though it would be nice if the bot detected such issues it is quite complicated for the bot to handle it, thinking about it; perhaps too complicated. For example to be absolutely sure about which vote that was cast by which person you can't just parse the text for signatures as one can easily add another signature than ones own. Thus to be sure the bot would have to go through each edit/commit to the candidate and keep track of who really added each template (similar to the annotate feature that many version control systems have). And as mentioned even if the bot handled this perfectly and actually detected double votes correctly there are as mentioned no clear solution, one could use the first vote or the last one or discard all of them, so a human preferably have to investigate anyway. A wiki is not really made for voting, imagine how much better this voting procedure could be if we were not locked to parsing a wiki page. /Daniel78 (talk) 21:12, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

By the way as already mentioned before, it would be nice to get this request approved. The FPC process is getting quite dependent on it as this "test"-period has been going on for so long now. At least from now on I will not discuss any further improvements/changes to the bot on this page unless it is an absolute requirement for getting the bot flag. Improvements that does not effect the outcome of this bot flag request should be discussed elsewhere. /Daniel78 (talk) 16:07, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
