[edit]Hello.
Can you translate and upload en:Template:Administrative divisions of Azerbaijan and en:Administrative divisions of Azerbaijan in Esperanto Wikipedia?

- Hello, the items with Q5460604 have to match List of articles every Wikipedia should have, right? LiMr (talk) 20:33, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, I would expect this. --Infovarius (talk) 11:41, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
- Now there are 1012 items, so you are adjusting these lists? Ok. Note that there is Wikipedia:Vital articles/Level/4 (Q6173448) (or better Q18001964?) that also needs to be listed. --Infovarius (talk) 11:58, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
- See Q303 (Elvis Presley). Some items are no more in the list, but they have the property with a limiting qualifier. I use this query https://w.wiki/4qQt LiMr (talk) 12:26, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
Hello, I'm Bovlb. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Q20479140 because it didn't appear constructive. Feel free to use the sandbox for test edits. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! Bovlb (talk) 21:32, 29 August 2022 (UTC) --Bovlb (talk) 21:32, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

[edit]Hello! Noticed your bot updating some astronomical objects, and wanted to make some suggestions. On Tempel 1 (Q334755), for example, it placed periodic comet (Q11416914) under Instance of, but Jupiter-family comet (Q11741557) is already a subclass of that, meaning that addition is redundant. I've merely deprecated it on the Tempel 1 item, but it might be worth considering having the bot check for such things. Another issue is when the bot adds orbital parameters and other bits, it isn't deprecating the previous values. Please make sure it does so in the future, otherwise it may cause issues for end users. Thirdly, please consider using epoch (P6259) instead of point in time (P585) for the orbital parameters. They're similar concepts of course, but epoch would be more correct here and a couple of those properties actually ask for its use rather than "point in time".
Just some things to consider. Thanks for keeping the astronomical objects updated. — Huntster (t @ c) 17:23, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- Hello, thanks for your feedback and your hints. But all of them are not so easy.
- periodic comet (Q11416914) vs. Jupiter-family comet (Q11741557) - You are right, but I would like to use the asteroid style. All asteroids are instance of (P31) asteroid (Q3863) and there is a special property minor planet group (P196), but there is no such property for comets (comet type, comet family, comet group or similar). Jupiter-family comet (Q11741557) is a comety family. So I miss the property.
- Depricated values - When I add a value, I remove every value without sources or with old JPL sources for most properties. I'm keeping values with sources, because often the value is right, but using other units. Also some old objects have different values in their sources (catalogs, Wikipedias). I think it's not responsible to remove totally all other values. I want to use also MPC to update values in later version of my bot. So, I'll remove old values with MPC source. Major part of old values are with the old source, so that will be the useful next step. A third step should be removing Wikipedia sources, because they are often depricated. But I'm not sure about the old objects. I want to solve the problem after all objects are updated from both JPL and MPC.
- Epoch - At first I wanted to use the epoch. But epoch (P6259) cannot use any date, only other items. I inspected the items in epoch, but many are used incorrectly. Some objects (I don't which now) are using epoch in future. I think there is confusion in the epoch, which means the date of the orbit calculation and the date of return to the Sun and long epochs of calculation of stars. From all of problems the easiest one is for common asteroids: what epoch should I use now? September 13, 2023 (Q69306921)? But that's not an instance of epoch. Not all dates have their own item.
- I'm not a real astronomer, so I welcome any suggestions on how my bot could work better. But I know it's a bit different to manually update one item or do a procedure for thousands of different items. LiMr (talk) 19:00, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- Now I don't add periodic comet (Q11416914) if there is some comet family in JPL.
- I read the documentation of epoch (P6259). There is an example for 26P/Grigg–Skjellerup (Q1537693). But if I search the item, I cannot find any use of that. But what more, English Wikipedia claims, that epoch is 2023-02-25, but according to JPL the epoch is still 2010-Sep-01. I'm really confused about that.

Correction of Discovery Sites for Asteroids
[edit]I noticed that many asteroid pages have the incorrect claim of site of astronomical discovery (P65) at MIT Lincoln Laboratory (Q3138607) when it should be at Experimental Test Site (Q23789293). There are 18 440 instances of this claim (see [here https://w.wiki/9mS2]), however a few of them were discovered in Massachusetts, so it requires checking the JPL database for the comment "Discovered XXXX-XX-XX by LINEAR at Socorro". Would your bot be suited for this task? Ilawa-Kataka (talk) 23:01, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks, I am surprised that I've done almost 2M edits and almost no feedback. So I'm glad for your feedback. My bot found that asteroids with discovery site Scorro have often the claim site of astronomical discovery (P65) set to MIT Lincoln Laboratory (Q3138607). That's why I trusted it and I'm using it even for new claims. When my bot finish the current set of asteroids, I will repair the mentioned items. Thanks again. LiMr (talk) 07:35, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
- Now, the bot is repairing site of astronomical discovery (P65) in the current set: (38193) 1999 LB8 (Q7471836), (38194) 1999 LS13 (Q7471840), ... LiMr (talk) 07:58, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
- Everything is fixed now. --LiMr (talk) 19:46, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
