Thanks for those many little fixes you've been making! – Adrignola discuss 22:54, 23 January 2011 (UTC)


 * No prob. :) I'd like to help out here, and starting with small fixes and working up is generally how I "learn the ropes" the best. -Avicennasis (talk?) (SWMT) 22:59, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

Pseudo-bot
No objections have been voiced. You now have the pseudo-bot flag enabled. Please leave me a message on my discussion page when you are finished or email me and I will remove the flag. – Adrignola discuss 01:46, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Some objections were voiced, so I've removed it for the moment. They should be able to take a look at your initial run and program you're using and come to a firm decision. – Adrignola discuss 15:32, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I've turned it on following discussion at WB:RFP. Have at it and let me know via an email notice when you're done since you won't be able to trigger a discussion page edit notice with the flag. – Adrignola discuss 03:32, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I'll email you when done - still have about 1500 pages to go through. I expect to be done sometime tomorrow. -Avicennasis (talk?) (SWMT) 06:24, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Note that "the exact same" is not grammatically incorrect; the choice between it and "exactly the same" is stylistic, and personally I wouldn't call all such choices the same way. I suggest you leave that one off your list while using pseudo-bot. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 05:26, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
 * OK, no prob. :) The list is pulled from EnWp - I'll trim this entry off my work here. -Avicennasis (talk?) (SWMT) 06:24, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Keep up the good work! Also, did I make any typos in History of Hong Kong? Does AWB allow correcting WJ and cookbooks? Kayau 05:06, 6 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks! And AWB can scan any page on Wikibooks for Typos. I did all the bluelinks on History of Hong Kong, and only got a few errors. :)

Most of them are simple little things - good job! On Wikipedia I can find tons of errors; the editors on Wikibooks definitely polish their pages! Let me know if you want anything else scanned. -Avicennasis (talk?) (SWMT) 05:14, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
