Pywikipedia framework
A couple of quick questions about the pywikipedia framework which I just recently grabbed. I don't know how to actually code in python, but would Replace.py work as a standalone script? Main reason I am asking is because I am planning on submitting the next task for my bot using Pywikipedia instead of AWB to keep IE free for other uses, since I am quite certain that it will take at least ten days to finish at six edits per minute. Second, I don't see any edit rate variable/control specified in either login.py or replace.py, so even if I did get approved to use Python, I wouldn't know how to keep it in check.
And the last immediate question that comes to mind, is it possible to either test the script offline or use a separate account (or just use VixDaemon) to test within its own subpages for small scale testing? I can't find any policy that explicitly disallows it, but I'd like to make sure it is allowed before proceeding with that route, at least. I hope you have a most wonderful day, Mets. ^.^ Kyra~(talk) 04:35, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
- Hi Kyra. Actually, I'm not great with python either, so a better person to ask about the framework would be Cyde, who wrote much of it. There is an edit rate control in config.py, by the way. As far as testing, making a few edits to a sandbox subpage with the bot account or a different account is no problem. :-) —METS501 (talk) 23:34, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
Buraisu
User Buraisu is terrible at making edits to articles. For example, the hotboxing entry has been changed multiples to reflect that it is, in fact, not a term that has anything to do with running multiple instances of a game at the same time. Not now, not ever. Additionally, he thinks that it is possible for unicorns to have mulitple horns, and you should not be surprised if you see an edit to that article to fit "his definition."

- Okay, first, please do not make personal attacks against other editors. Not only does can negative comments hurt their feelings, but it can drive editors away from Wikipedia, and that's not a good thing. Also, if you have an issue with Buraisu, why not cordially talk to him on his talk page and see if you can resolve your differences amicably? Sometimes a simple chat is all that is needed, other times further dispute resolution may be in order. I do hope you and Buraisu can resolve the problem you two are quarreling over. Have a wonderful day. Kyra~(talk) 08:42, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
- I BE REPLYIN'
- The time for talking cordially with Mr. Buraisu Albedo Naivedo Naruto Hand Seals McMulti-hornedunicorn has long passed. He has proven to be unreasonable, and as such, extreme measures have been taken. He also edited my page to show a picture of a pig, which I find offensive because my mom is a pig and she died to be made into bacon. Please take action against this user right away. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sumaloo (talk • contribs) 08:45, February 15, 2007 (UTC)
- You can change the contents of your userpage if you want you know; you aren't required to keep the picture of the sow on there. Also, I am unable take any actions upon the user in question as I am not an administrator; even if I were an admin at the moment, I am unable to clearly see what policies he is violating. I'd recommend at least attempting to try and talk with the user first. Since this appears to be a content dispute, it would be advisable detailed message about why you disagree that the information he wishes to include should not be included within the disambiguation page and post it on Buraisu's talk page. I hope you have a good day. Kyra~(talk) 09:06, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Buraisu Responds
Hello, this is Buraisu. The person above is a internet troll from the World of Warcraft United States Deathwing server. The user followed me to the hotbox topic after I referred to the term hotbox as a person using more then one computer at a time. The internet troll then linked the topic hotbox on wikipedia where he went to point out that it said nothing about using more then one computer as hotboxing. The trolls point was to report me for using a drug term when I meant it as a computer term. Then, I signed up for wikipedia where, I a new user edited the page to reflect the term hotbox where it relates to using more the one computer at a time. This term is used by west coast nerds at events like Penny Arcade Expo and other things. I did not make up or create the term like they are saying. They think I magically made it up and am the only person that uses the term and they think it's some kind of game. It was not made up by me nor do I use more then one computer at the same time. I did though, point out that my roommate does.
The internet trolls followed me here and have been flaming and attacking everything I edit under the user:buraisu, including my user page, topics I edit and other things. I try to talk to them like a normal person but like the example above shows, it leads to them flaming me for no reason. The ONLY reason they have a problem with the topic hotbox which has been under major attack by them is to spite me. This also includes my userpage which has been under major attack from the internet trolls.
There arguments are pure hate and are out of spite for me. They have no base and are just here to flame. They should be reported and temp-banned ASAP. Though, I don't think they should be permi-banned because I believe, one day when they grow up they could be a great source on information for wikipedia. It saddens me that they followed me to wikipedia and are causing trouble.
I did edit their userpage when they first started flaming me just to get them back but I have stopped doing it because I don't wanna go down to there level anymore. Since I quit attacking back, they have still attacked me day after day. I did add a pig picture to there userpages when I attacked, I thought it was funny and anyways, they had nothing on their page anyways. I have taken the fight over the hotbox topic to their talk pages and my talk page but they still vandalize the other areas of wikipedia.
The only way I see this fight stopping is if someone steps in and stops the internet trolls from personally attacking me and undoing my edits. They have no creditability at all for there edits like I have pointed at before.
Thanks for reading what I have to say. --Buraisu 09:16, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
- Greetings, and salutations, Buraisu. Might I inquire if you have any reliable sources with which to verify that the term "hotbox" is used to refer to a user using more than one computer at once? I am pretty sure that a source or two (on the talk page as the page in question is a disambiguation page) as well as a friendly message to Sumaloo would be sufficient to end this small feud. Also, please keep the three-revert rule in mind when editing. I do hope that the two of you are able to come to an agreement over this issue. I hope you have a good day.

Sumaloo isn't wearing any pants right now
We're here to edit your made-up definitions. We were reasonable from the beginning, but you, for some reason, try to stick by your bizarre definitions and blatant misuse of the English language. Since you're insane and have to change your fake definition back the moment after it happens, we decided to have some fun with your user page. And fun we did have!
Oh, yeah. Obviously you didn't make up the term, but rather heard the term hotbox from some random place in a different context, and then mistakenly used it incorrectly. When called out on this, you proceeded to lie about the definition and where you got it from. Now you're trying even harder to save face on here, which at least is hilarious. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sumaloo (talk • contribs) 09:29, February 15, 2007 (UTC)
- Not that I mind my talk page being a place to converse with other editors or anything, but please remain civil and assume good faith. It is quite possible that the term is not made up, but merely unsourced. If either of you can find a reliable source to confirm that the term hotbox is correct in the definition of a user using multiple computers at the same time, that should bring an end to this. Again, as with Buraisu, I sincerely hope you both manage to come to an agreement over the issue. Kyra~(talk) 09:40, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
- Will you go out with me? I'm afraid that if I don't Buraisu will come after you. He has a thing for anthropomorphized animals.
- Yours, SuMa-LoO the GREAT —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sumaloo (talk • contribs) 09:46, 15 February 2007 (UTC).
