SB Johnny
Hi!

Is this a bot? -- SB_Johnny | talk 09:06, 4 September 2006 (UTC)


 * No, I just feel like one. I guess I could update the cat orders with a bot, but I'm also reading the articles and fixing the odd link / typo / etc. as I go. Webaware 09:09, 4 September 2006 (UTC)


 * OK :). Are you just doing the cookbook, or are you working further out? -- SB_Johnny | talk 09:14, 4 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Just Cookbook. I was going to add something, but can't now remember what it was... no matter, there's a few things just that little bit better now :/ Webaware 09:16, 4 September 2006 (UTC)


 * OK. I was just curious. -- SB_Johnny | talk 11:27, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks
Really good to see someone helping with the alpha cats in cookbook. The idea of a "cookbook" with everything under "C" cries out for attention. All the best -- Herby talk thyme 14:40, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the welcome. Yes, C for Chicken isn't so bad, but C for Dosa, C for Pasta... :-) --Webaware 22:38, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Certainly seems daft to me and the (boring) maintenance is appreciated! I do have a slight problem with - for example - Chicken Liver Pate - should it be C, L or P? I guess the discussion should be on cookbook talk but vews are always worth hearing. Regards -- Herby  talk thyme 07:18, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
 * In a classic recipe collection, with no proper categorisation mechanism, it might be titled "Paté, chicken liver" and filed under P. However, Wiki tends to file under the article title, so "Chicken liver paté" should thus be filed under C. Additionally, it should be categorised in "Paté recipes" (or should that be Pâté recipes?) :)
 * Oh, and whilst boring, it's good work to do when brain-dead and trying to avoid real work for a bit. I also get to read a few recipes, fix some spelling and links, and take a break from thinking too hard about anything for a while. --Webaware 08:46, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I confess I see it almost the same way. Tho I do hope to put an odd recipe in myself before too long.  See you around I'm sure -- Herby  talk thyme 08:54, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Reply to your message
" to a couple of pages I'm watching. Please note that this incorrectly orders them all under "M" in the category. Instead, to correctly order these pages, please use the following:  . "

I'm aware of this now. I noticed that many of the pages I'd changed were being listed under 'm'. I'll try and sort them all out over the next few days. Thanks for the message! Xania 22:57, 29 October 2006 (UTC)


 * G'day Xania, please take care to wrap wiki code in "&lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;" to prevent the code being interpreted by wiki. I just fixed your comment above, as it had placed this talk page in the "Recipes with metric units" category :-) --Webaware 23:20, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Browsers
No idea what you are using but Firefox allows you to run some nice scripts that are relevant for editing and checking changes to pages (if you didn't know). Cheers -- Herby talk thyme 16:28, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
 * OK did some research and assuming I'm not jumping to conclusions - you may well know about popups. Depending on what you use  could be useful.  Cheers -- Herby  talk thyme 16:32, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
 * G'day Herby, I use Firefox and have popups going on WP, but haven't gotten around to it here. I hadn't seen wikEd before - thanks, will check it out. I'm actually trying to not do much here at present as it distracts me from paid work, but you know how it is :) --Webaware 21:00, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
 * No worries. To me things just ain't right without popups on here too and some of the other toys are neat too.  Sorry about the work getting in the way.  Catch you around -- Herby  talk thyme 08:05, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

In case you miss it!
Take a look at this maybe Staff_lounge, I'm sure you could help tho I realise that you may be busy which is fine - cheers -- Herby talk thyme 19:38, 13 November 2006 (UTC)


 * G'day Herby, I'm note sure what "help" entails here. I agree with ditching BOTM/COTM, but beyond that, I'm not an admin here and have no wish to be. I have about enough time to do some slog work on Cookbook, contribute the odd recipe that I've been emailing to other people, and watch for Cookbook vandalism. If I get some extra time, I'll do a little work on some of the programming language books. Did you have something specific in mind? --Webaware 22:09, 13 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Nothing heavy - I guess I just see you as someone who is more widely interested than some authors - the fact you deal with vandalism indicates that. There are a number of rather neglected areas - I was pointed towards the help pages for example - some of which are dire.  I guess I was looking at categorising people (I hate that ) as "staff" being interested in the project rather than a specific book. All the best -- Herby  talk thyme 08:36, 15 November 2006 (UTC)


 * G'day Herby, thanks for the offer, but I might stick to the little that I've been doing for now. If I did venture into the help pages, I might not make it out again for a while :) and that would hinder anything I can offer Cookbook or Wikipedia. cheers, Webaware 09:19, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Capitalization/Abbreviation
Is this how I can communicate back with you? Thank you for telling me about the pipe issue in the external links. Is there a consensus regarding the capitalizing in a recipe? Should it be 2 Cups or 2 cups? Is there a consensus regarding abbreviating in a recipe? Should it be 2 Tablespoons, 2 Tbsp or something else? Maybe there is a page that address all this and please let me nkow if there is a different way to communicate with you?

Spam rv
Heads up really - there is a new "user" of the same name as the site! Working on Cookbook:Sangria - got to be worth keeping an eye. Cheers -- Herby talk thyme 15:06, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
 * And a look at my last couple of edits (just prior to this time) will give you another new user (the user name is the site name - I think there must be a connection) to keep an eye on. Get back to me if you want more info/help -- Herby  talk thyme 15:13, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
 * This may be useful to you special:linksearch. It does not seem "well advertised" but it will give you something like this  which is a random tho real one.  Useful for checking just how many pages a site may have been placed on - let me know if I can do anything (bear in mind that "policy" is quite tolerant of spam - I'm not!) -- Herby  talk thyme 19:23, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
 * G'day Herby. Yes, I had noticed that one, and have been watching. Thanks for the link, it should come in handy :) --Webaware 05:20, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Genuinely it is good to have another person around who has a similar view on external links. If I can help let me know cheers -- Herby  talk thyme 13:40, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

EL stuff
(x posted - Xania, Webaware & Iamunknown)

Following exchanges on this subject feel free to look at User:Herbythyme/poss el policy and contribute if you like. Unlikley to make policy but you never know we may get a guideline out of it if we can build up some interest.

Equally User:Herbythyme/Over EL pages contains some of my favourite pages! And w:wp:spamhole is interesting. Regards -- Herby talk thyme 13:03, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Ooops
Apologies - bit early - cheers -- Herby talk thyme 09:08, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Early? It's past time I ate my dinner! :) No worries, mate. Webaware 09:09, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Kefir & links
Morning (well here). OK - reaction rather than response - I saw a link go in and was going to delete it. Saw page had another link and spammers fave argument - "well there is another one there anyway"!

Response rather than reaction - I'll take a good look and get back to you - say 24 hours (But wikibooks hours ) - sometime tomorrow if I don't get to it today. All admins seemed to have vanished & I'm doing some cleaning! Cheers -- Herby talk thyme 08:19, 16 December 2006 (UTC)


 * I'd typed this out anyway! That is the first time I have placed a link to anything other than a charity or dmoz in over 6 months editing wikis!!! You do have a problem with WP (I understand more than you know but it is too long a story!). Here - as there is no policy (sigh) - you could do it but there I've done it and it's on my watch list so I'll try and keep it clean too. You'll have to tell me more about it sometime


 * Hope this is ok with you. Feel free to look around and see if I need any help anywhere . Cheers -- Herby talk thyme 12:44, 16 December 2006 (UTC)


 * G'day Herby. Late evening here (just waiting for a gluten-free sourdough to cool so that we can taste it before wrapping it up for tomorrow, before going to bed).


 * I understand the EL problem, but there are legitimate reasons for having some ELs - the problem is sorting them from the SPAM and spurious stuff. Thanks for the opportunity for now, at least. I did look at DMOZ before making the page, and it just wasn't up to the job.


 * Regarding the cleanup work, I pitch in when I have a chance, but some of the recipes in here need so much work it's daunting. Besides, there's a few other recipes I have that I really want to put in, given a little time, and I also have a full watchlist on WP. However, I just ditched about a dozen email lists, so maybe I'll have a little more time for wiki again :) cheers, Webaware 12:55, 16 December 2006 (UTC)


 * No problem here - I am an "ex spam fighter" from WP who is still in recovery tho so if I fail at anything point it out to me please. It wasn't cleanup work I was after (tho that is always good).  A little reluctantly maybe browse WB:RFA and see if there is anything that may "interest" you.  Hope the bread is good - our attempts are more modest but we make all our own (with a bread maker sadly - work gets in the way so much).  Regards -- Herby  talk thyme 13:08, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

I owe you - thanks! -- Herby talk thyme 13:34, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * rest


 * All seemed reasonable, so have voted accordingly - you owe me nothing! Bread is OK - it's gluten-free, so not exactly my favourite, but it'll keep the wife happy for now. I used to bake bread in a bread maker, but not since I started making sourdough. Given that I'm too lazy to knead, it really doesn't take much extra time or effort anyway. I also cheat with the starter - I mix flour with water in equal quantities, then add a little kefir for the necessary bacteria and yeast, and it fairly rips away overnight. Must drag the bod off to bed now - ta ta! Webaware 13:41, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Morning mate!
Well you know what I mean. If you get a block of recipes that need recat'ing I can do them easily with the bot if you want to. I'll close the Kefir VfD today too. If I don't catch you - best for the New Year -- Herby talk thyme 08:29, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
 * G'day mate, thanks on the kefir VfD. Once gone, I might look up a couple of good kombucha recipes and build a page for that (although I've never made the stuff myself). I actually prefer to recat manually, because I also catch some red links, spello's, bad grammar, and plan silly statements while I'm passing. It's a good way to become more familiar with the recipe base. Hope you have a good NYE - will be having a quiet one myself this year - and best wishes for 2007. Webaware 09:06, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Understand what you are saying there - I actually get to learn stuff while looking around just some really boring stuff can be done on auto. It will be quiet here to - hope 2007 is a good year for you (except at cricket of course ) -- Herby  talk thyme 09:09, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Ah, that's the game with sticks and a hard red ball, isn't it? And lots of seagulls. Another good sport for beating the Poms at ;) Webaware 09:14, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of media replaced by copies at Commons
For future reference, you may use &#123;{NowCommons}} to tag images for deletion that have an exact copy at Wikimedia Commons. &mdash; User:Iamunknown 06:03, 2 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks mate, saves a bit of typing :) cheers, Webaware 06:07, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Kinda thinking out loud
And you are up late! The "superseded by commons" ones - can they be marked as speedy rather than no license? Cheers -- Herby talk thyme 13:47, 3 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Hum I guess not important just that as they had the 7 day copyvio tag on someone might query it (in a tidying mood!) -- Herby talk thyme 13:50, 3 January 2007 (UTC)


 * G'day mate, I was tagging with speedy delete but was advised to tag with NowCommons instead (see above). It makes some sense - if the license issue is resolved, then the images might not be deleted. ITMT, the pages that used them are protected from the "image cleanup" brigade ripping out links unnecessarily and breaking further pages ;) oh, and note that I didn't tag with copyvio, I'm just picking through that category looking for easy replacements and substitutions. Webaware 14:00, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Sorry, have had head stuck in code, whilst also talking food in emails and cooking sambhar for dinner, plus a little "image cleanup".

Had to comment
Over the past few days I have been "watching" on RC the work that you have been putting in on a large number of Cookbook: articles. It is that sort of work that makes me want to stick around here - if only the main namespace had folks like you (btw - look at your user page, not really my thing & I won't be offended if you bin it but I think the work needs acknowledging!). (I'd have made it a bit bigger but hey the cricket.... ) Regards -- Herby talk thyme 13:33, 11 January 2007 (UTC)


 * G'day mate, thanks for that! I'm not a big fan of them either, but will proudly wear it for the month of January. But have you noticed this bloke? Personally, I think we need more of pretty much everyone, except the vandals :-) Webaware 22:30, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I'll grant you that one but nothing like as consistent as you (so far) recently. Sitting (fairly quietly) on RC you see almost everything - not always good news.  Enjoy the rest of your day -- Herby  talk thyme 08:34, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

We are obviously "behind" you guys (!), it has only just arrived (the bugger) here AND I'm working tomorrow. However I've then got four days and not a bad forecast so wikibooks may suffer and the garden benefit - best -- Herby talk thyme 08:49, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

copyvios
As you are around - looking about you seem to have your head screwed on roughly the right way round! Could you give me an opinion on the Cookbook ones here Category:Copyright violations. Like you I tend to wander around looking at stuff and found these. I guess I am unsure just how much a relatively ordinary recipe can be copyright. I'm unsure whether to delete the pages or just remove the "source" links (I'll put something on the common author's page anyway). Based on past performance it is unlikely anyone else will deal with them in a rush so if you could let me know your opinion I'd appreciate it. Thanks -- Herby talk thyme 10:30, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
 * G'day mate, I'll take a look at them over coffee tomorrow morning. cheers, Webaware talk 13:09, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I guess I was trying to cheat! Thinking about removing the source and ignoring it - but you have kept me on the "straight and narrow".  I'll delete them later and put a message on the talk page.  Thanks for the opinion, appreciated -- Herby  talk thyme 10:29, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * No worries, always happy to help out :) Webaware talk 12:36, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

So maybe a view on this one Cookbook:Butter tart. An edit in the past few hours appears to be claiming copyright in a sense?? Cheers -- Herby talk thyme 07:46, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
 * reset
 * Yes, I was wondering about that one. Perhaps you could contact the new user and ask them to give license to Wikibooks for the recipe, by saying so on the talk page for the recipe – it appears that they don't mind it being here, so might readily give permission. I'd dare say that we have some boilerplate somewhere around to cover this situation... Webaware talk 08:01, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Yep - thanks and done (tho the boilerplate eluded me!), thanks again -- Herby talk thyme 08:06, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

I appreciate the advice, I'll do that from now on. If you think it's necessary I can go back and change 'em too. - SeekerVI talk 05:21, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Images
Sorry didn't spot that - if you have time to "find" them in the deletion log I will happily get them back so that we can get satisfactory replacements (no idea what the policy is but ...). Any time you feel something isn't being done nudge me - I'll help if I can - cheers -- Herby talk thyme 08:00, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks, will have a look for them when I get a chance. Webaware talk 08:53, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Didn't have enough time - the two I found were both deleted by Darklama on the 30th December (I'd like to restore them all at the same time) - may help you filter to get them. I reckon if I get them back for a week (a wikibook one!) that should give a bit of time? -- Herby  talk thyme 18:34, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I was wondering about going the "policy" route, and listing them on Votes for undeletion. That way, everyone is clear on what is going on and exactly why they are being undeleted. When I get a moment, I'll look at just what was deleted around that time by darklama, and make a list of what should be undeleted - perhaps with nld on them still (and new date). Pro'lly not today though!
 * Oh, and the greater problem is that a large number of images were first unlinked from the pages using them before deletion - thus we pro'lly have no way of putting them back up, no matter how erroneous their deletion :( Webaware talk 22:42, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

I'll be bold - undeleted in a jiffy. Will you guys let me know if I can help with others (*** the policy, it is the interests of WB we are working on ! - WP has "rouge" admins, I've always like the idea!) -- Herby talk thyme 07:59, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Oh, for goodness sake! WP really does have a page on just about everything! Right-o, then, I'd better rub this stuff off before someone finds out... Webaware talk 13:06, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Won't worry me either way - I don't fight but I am perfectly capable of it, it just isn't an effective way of getting anything usually (age I guess). Hope you liked the humour on the page - always say if you think I can do anything -- Herby  talk thyme 13:18, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * No, I meant the red stuff - bloody stuff gets on everything, I don't know how those admin fellows cope. No matter, I've converted a couple of the images to wiki markup, but the first three listed will have to be redrawn - later, after I get some paid work done (got to eat, you know).

PD-ineligible
User talk:Iamunknown: read and weep --Iamunknown 05:28, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh, bugger. No worries, I'm sorting out wiki markup versions of some of the simpler ones anyway; perhaps the original author (or someone with appropriate software) can rebuild the two Marys and upload as PD. I'll remove the tags for now. thanks, Webaware talk 05:32, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * This whole image deletion thing is getting really frustrating. First, there is no established infrastructure other than the policy, "These images will be deleted." Rather vague, it seems. Furthermore, as you have been arguing, and as I have argued to a lesser degree, many of these images are not difficult to replace. If people would just take the time, we could save a lot of valuable imagery.
 * The apparent issues aside, what do you think of creating a new template similar to tag the images with other than subst:nsd so that we can know which images have been dealt with (i.e. have been replaced and deprecated either by wiki or another file)? We could report to the admins so they know all those images are perfectly okay to delete. Then maybe everyone wouldn't think we're just complaining.  Iamunknown 05:46, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Bloody good idea. Ah - but once "dealt with", won't those images be simply deleted, thus no longer showing any problem? This is currently the situation with NowCommons - it helps deal with the problem, but leaves no trace for admins to get any feel for quantity after the fact.
 * Either way, I think that maybe we need a new template for folks like you and me to tag images with, after we've vetted them and found no simple solution; i.e. "it's a fair cop, take it out the back and wipe it's clock" as compared to "maybe it is, maybe it isn't but nobody's looked at it to be sure". Webaware talk 05:52, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Radiology images
About the radiology images, I have a feeling that they are very illegal even under fair use. They are medical records, and unless released, are subject to strict copyrights and privacy issues. I know you aren't systematically saving them, I just thought I'd bring that up. What are your thoughts? I really don't know...that's just what I thought. --Iamunknown 06:28, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I have suspected the same, unless they are medical research images from a public institution and released under some license. However, they certainly aren't tagged as such - the uploader needs to make it clear what the copyright status is, and quickly! Silence, was the sad response... Webaware talk 07:05, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

NowCommons
Don't use this template for something like Image:Georgius1 VI.jpg and Image:Georg VI England.jpg.

It's not the same Image and NowCommons is normally is used, when the same picture in the same (or better) quality is on commons.

-- MichaelFrey 06:37, 21 January 2007 (UTC)


 * OK, will comply. I would still like to indicate that the image in question has now been replaced in pages that linked to it, and can safely be deleted – any suggestions there? Webaware talk 06:40, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
 * BTW I always check before deleting that the name is the same here and Commons. Let me know tho if I go wrong or can help - cheers -- Herby  talk thyme 09:50, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

More clean-up resources
I have another fun resource for image restoration / replacement -- User:Iamunknown/Cleanup/Image restoration. If you have time away from your Cookbook maintenance, check it out. I am impressed with how much Cookbook-related work you do. I didn't realise until I started watching the recent changes. --Iamunknown 00:12, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Thanks, have plugged it in and will check it out. Have been just browsing the Recent changes for Images namespace, which works OK. Can't dedicate the time it really needs anyway, due to the old "paid work" thing. Ciders went down well, looking forwards to some meads tonight over dinner! 41°C outside today, so cold drinks and cowering inside have been the order of the day.

 * 41°C! It's probably -10°C where I am! Oh well. I'm inside too. Just totally different conditions. :) --Iamunknown 07:08, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
 * No idea which of you I am more envious of so just "morning", "evening" whatever - cheers -- Herby talk thyme 09:31, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Mornvening, mate. It's cooled down to a comfortable 31°C now, so we've got the windows open again. I don't think I've ever seen a sub-zero (°C) day here, but am soon to move to where they get -10°C at the very worst. I couldn't imagine what it's like in -30°C blizzards!. About to rip open another cooling bottle, so edits might get a little more haphazard yet... Webaware talk 09:44, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

A burglar alarm had me up quite a bit of the night so not sure I'm competent to do anything at the mo! FWIW +6C here but at least the sun is out for the first time in weeks! -- Herby talk thyme 09:48, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Glad to hear you have sunshine again. Looking forwards to more cloud cover here. Webaware talk 09:54, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Depending on speed you have another ♫! -- Herby talk thyme 10:04, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
