:Hey SunCreator! Im glad you've taken an interest in operating bots! While I do not know the ''full'' details of what you want to do, this kind of bot task seems to lend itself to [[SQL]]. If that is true, it will save you loads of time to use a [[WP:DBR|Database query]] to build your list rather then AWBs functions. What, exactly, will you be parsing for? I may be able to help. [[User:Tim1357|<fontspan colorstyle="Blue"color:blue; face="font-family:Arial;" >Tim</span>]]<[[Special:Contributions/font>Tim1357|<fontspan colorstyle="Red"color:red; face="font-family:Optima;" >1357</span>]] [[SpecialUser talk:Contributions/Tim1357|1357]]</font> ^{<font facestyle="font-family:Times new roman"; font-size = 2 :small;">[[User talk:Tim1357|talk]]</font>}]] 03:20, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

::Hi Tim, yes, much of this could be done with a Database query, I am familiar with SQL. Here would be some obvious starters of conflicting data between something indicating a person is alive and something indicating they are dead. Any '''[[:Category:Biography articles by quality|Biography]]''' where the:

:::Moved database report criteria to => [[Wikipedia:Bot_requests#Living_people_possibly_deceased_or_deceased_people_possibly_living]]

:::* article has [[:Category:Living people]] but the talk page {{tlx|WPBiography}} say living=no

:::* article has [[:Category:Living people]] and also any of the many death categories. Find numerous categories/subcategories in [[:Category:Dead people]]

:::* article has [[:Category:Living people]] and also uses a death template. i.e {{tlx|Death date and age}}, {{tlx|BirthDeathAge}}, {{tlx|Death year and age}}, {{tlx|Death date}}, {{tlx|Dda}}, {{tlx|Date of death}}, {{tlx|Deathdateandage}}.

:::* article does not have [[:Category:Living people]] but the talk page {{tlx|WPBiography}} say living=yes

:::* article does not have [[:Category:Living people]] but contains any of these living templates {{tlx|date of birth and age}}, {{tlx|Birthdate and age}}, {{tlx|Bda}}, {{tlx|BDA}}, {{tlx|Date of birth and age}}, {{tlx|Birthdateandage}}, {{tlx|Birth Date and age}}, {{tlx|BDa}}, {{tlx|BdA}}, {{tlx|Euro birth date and age}}.

:::* articles which contain <nowiki>{{bda|1900|1|1}} or {{date of birth and age|1900|1|1}}</nowiki>. I found and removed several of these already and think 1900|1|1 is a default date and mostly an error.

LivingBot never really did it very efficiently anyway, best of luck to you. - [[User:Jarry1250|Jarry1250]]&nbsp;^{[''[[Special:Contributions/Jarry1250|Humorous]]? [[User_talk:Jarry1250|Discuss]].'']} 19:38, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

:Thank you! I think it's useful to clarify that I'm not replacing LivingBot or any other automated bot(learnt of [[User:Yobot]] recently). I'd like access to more then 25000 articles in category so that I can correct errors like [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=John_Townsend_%28Mayor%29&diff=prev&oldid=298455911 226 year old(infobox age)], the now deleted [[Roberto (Ceramic Duck)|Duck]], marked as a BLP, this 'living' ceramic duck [[:File:Roberto the duck.jpg]] - actual picture that was in the infobox and was aged 1 year old in the infobox.

:::I like the idea as using the database scanner is fast. Unfortunately my hard disk has only 30Gb free so I can't download the zip file let alone uncompress it. Regards, [[User:SunCreator|SunCreator]] ^{([[User talk:SunCreator|talk]])} 21:48, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

::::There is always [[WP:DDR]] for dump scans, if you don't mind waiting for other people to do the scan for you.

** on wikibreak. Regards, [[User:SunCreator|SunCreator]] ^{([[User talk:SunCreator|talk]])} 09:09, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

You do not seem to be on wikibreak anymore, judging by [[Special:Contributions/SunCreator]]. Do you intend to resume this request? [[User:Anomie|Anomie]][[User talk:Anomie|⚔]] 00:03, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

* I no longer have a sense that this checking which effectivly results in more uBLPs being tagged would be welcomed activity. See discussion at [[WP:Administrators'_noticeboard/Unsourced_biographies_of_living_persons#Huge_backlog_of_tagged_unsourced_biographies_of_living_persons]] with a sense that the number is to 'high/huge' and adding to it is not welcomed from either side. In addition over at [[WP:RSN]] I'm being falsely accused of drive by tagging, and identifying more [[:Category:Living people]] and tagging uBLP's based on horizontal checking through articles seems an unwelcomed cause. At this point I'd likely resume when number of uBLPs (currently {{PAGESINCATEGORY:All_unreferenced_BLPs}}) is low, down to a few months backlog or less.
