Licensed images in Flickr

Why did bot fail to review these files:

1. File:Mariana and her husband 1.jpg
2. File:Mariana and her husband 2.jpg
3. File:Mariana and her husband 3.jpg

despite the presence of licenses?!Thank you --ديفيد عادل وهبة خليل 2 (talk) 16:40, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

For the first image, as an example, the file on commons match none of the versions on flickr. File:Mariana and her husband 1.jpg has 104 KB at 480 × 640 px. The versions on flickr with the exact resolutions are Original and Medium. However, neither of them are 104 KB, as the Original is 95K and Medium is 119K --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 09:31, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

Why the bot interested in sizes?!It is not its task Review licenses?Thank you --ديفيد عادل وهبة خليل 2 (talk) 07:55, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

The purpose of verifying file size is to make sure the files on commons and flickr is the same, otherwise people can simply upload some copyvio and link to a non-copyvio image on flickr to get automated pass. And no, the bot cannot technically "see" to determine whether two image are visually the same (unless you provide me an algorithm to do so :P) --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 08:55, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

The best is develop it.Thank you --ديفيد عادل وهبة خليل 2 (talk) 09:29, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

Small bug in FlickreviewR 2

Example: [11]. In his last parameter, the bot inserted "cc-by-2.0" where it should have been "cc-by-sa-2.0". The mistake affects only the secondary part of the bot's message and users can figure out what happened by looking at the page history, but some users may wonder why the bot is leaving an illogical message, and they might even think that the bot is saying that the actual license is dubious. If more simple, it may be better to remove completely the second sentence of the bot's message, as after all it is not absolutely necessary, than to have an error in the sentence. -- Asclepias (talk) 14:46, 6 December 2015 (UTC)

This bug is weird. Maybe one broken code of mine caused it. :/ I'll look into it tomorrow. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 15:30, 6 December 2015 (UTC)

Ok fixed It's a regression from some code for upgrading mwclient --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 11:42, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

Picasa Bot

Dear Zhuyifei1999,

Is there a small problem with the picasa bot? These images were uploaded on December 6 but the picasareview bot has not yet marked them. Best Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 05:56, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

Looks like it ran out of memory on December 4th. Now restarted. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 10:42, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

• Thanks for fixing the problem. Best Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 06:04, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

Flickrreview and duplicates

Review at File:Scarlet Witch Cosplay.jpg uploaded the max resolution version but this was already present through an earlier upload. This has room for improvement. There should be an upload check for dupes and if one is detected, the upload should stop and the file page tagged with duplicate tag (use the first duplicate found in case of multiple dupes. Sounds easy for me but it's likely not that easy to implement.--Denniss (talk) 23:54, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

Hmm. I'm not sure if mwclient has dupe-detecting functions. Besides, IMO dupe-detecting sounds a bit out of scope of a reviewer bot. Maybe a separate bot looks better. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 08:28, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

It's common practice for upload bots to have a dupe detection (AFAIR a SHA check) built-in. Technicall FRB is a review Bot but has an upload function. A second Bot, checking all recently uploaded files from FRB could also work. --Denniss (talk) 10:23, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

The thing is, an upload bot can simply prevent an upload from happening, whereas a review bot uploading the original image cannot. Right now the flickreviewr has ignore warnings on. Doing a simple switching off of the option is nearly equivalent to throwing the image to human review, where dupes are much less likely to be noticed. Also, right now all the addition & replacement of wikitext happens in post_result(), while the upload original version happens in upload_hires(). To get whether an upload receive a warning (such as MediaWiki built-in dupe check), it make most sense to implement it in upload_hires(), but for how to transfer the data to post_result() I'm not really sure. I'm more inclined to do a generic SHA1 dupe-tagging bot than adding this feature to FlickreviewR. @Steinsplitter: I don't have much time right now, maybe another bot task for you (generic SHA1 dupe-tagging bot)? --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 11:04, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

It would be possible to check with a query if a recently uploaded file is a dub and then tag it with a template (or adding new parameter to the file). The question is: How often this happen? It is wort to spend hours to write such a bot? --Steinsplitter (talk) 11:32, 11 December 2015 (UTC)--Steinsplitter (talk) 11:32, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

Special:ListDuplicatedFiles has lots of Flickr images although a certain amount is from Fae and some other mass uploaders. --Denniss (talk) 13:41, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

bot failing

Tracked in Phabricator
Task T121305

• Flickrreview has lots of files right now. Perhaps the bot needs maintenance. --Leoboudv (talk) 07:42, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

  I can't find the root cause. No error, no logs, no job running whatsoever. (Perhaps the job-scheduler a.k.a. crontab is down?) For now the job is manually restarted. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 08:33, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

• Thanks for your help on the flickr bot and for starting up the picasa bot too. I don't know if another bot operator can do the tasks that you do. Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 09:46, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

  The Picasa bot seem up and running. Restarted just in case anything gone wrong. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 09:52, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

  Sometimes jobs running on grid are stucking. No idea why. --Steinsplitter (talk) 10:00, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

Unsigned comments

Hi. I think there might be something wrong with the SignBot. When notifying a user, my comments are automatically signed, but the SignBot take them as unsigned. And I even got a message to sign my (already signed) messages. Regards, Winter^eu 20:06, 12 December 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wintereu (talk • contribs) 20:06, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

See what I mean? It keeps marking my messages as unsigned :) --Winter^eu 20:26, 12 December 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wintereu (talk • contribs) 20:26, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

Hmm, maybe because of using a signature with french-language-based user links? --Denniss (talk) 22:43, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

Yeah, clearly Utilizator:Wintereu is a red link to mainspace, instead of userspace --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 02:49, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, I just fixed it. Hope it'll be fine now. --Winter^eu 08:08, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

解释一下

[12] 你开什么玩笑？为什么已经被通过的照片要重新通过？你没别的事情做？--Алый Король (talk) 06:41, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

另一个管理员已经回答了。 --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 06:58, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

他通知了我而已。你没通知我也是你的失误。现在我问你：被你取消的审核的照片有什么问题？我下一步要作什么？--Алый Король (talk) 07:34, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

1. 我那个编辑不是取消审核，只是更换审核队列，我并不认为这有通知你的必要。关于那个文件为何不被审核，JuTa已经给你几个链接了。我可以用中文解释一下：PDM (Public Domain Mark) 用于标记上传者认为属于公有领域，并非上传者本人制作的文件，但这标记并不说明文件真正属于公有领域的原因，并且这个标记不是不可撤销的。在Flickr上传此文件，说明作者并非上传者本人。维基共享资源的方针要求所有以公有领域上传的文件需要标明文件在美国与原国家属于公有领域的原因。PDM显然没有解释这原因，因此文件并未得到审核。
2. 你要做什么这有很多选项。舍弃文件就不说了。但要让文件留下，有几种选择：
   1. 在文件页面上写明属于公有领域的原因。比如这作品是某某拍的，他有法律原因不能获取版权。这情况貌似不太可能。
   2. 让原作者通过COM:OTRS声明自己作品属于公有领域，或其他自由许可条例 （如 cc-by-sa，cc-0，free art license）
   3. 如果Flickr的上传者就是原作者，并愿意使作品真正属于公有领域，可以让他改Flickr上的许可条例成 cc-0 （ cc-0 就是表示原作者本人，或版权持有者，使作品属于公用领域）；他不愿意的话其他自由许可条例（ cc-by，cc-by-sa）也可以接受

--Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 08:48, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

知道了，谢谢。--Алый Король (talk) 09:40, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

File:Fisher and Donaldson fudge doughnuts (3471269893).jpg

Any idea why the Flickr review went wrong here? Some computer output:

$ wget -O - https://c2.staticflickr.com/4/3660/3471269893_65a9297c89_o.jpg | sha1sum
179a1bbf0f220b1ac4363585bd608b9797c52e98  -
$ wget -O - https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e9/Fisher_and_Donaldson_fudge_doughnuts_%283471269893%29.jpg | sha1sum
179a1bbf0f220b1ac4363585bd608b9797c52e98  -

I note that toollabs:flickr2commons also failed when uploading the image. I don't know if this is related to the problem with the bot review. Wget reported that the connection was closed several times while downloading the file, but still managed to download the rest by re-connecting to Flickr. --Stefan2 (talk) 20:58, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

I actually don't know what went wrong. The connection is perfectly fine right now, and the image got passed without issues. The first flickr review was a result of either connection failing a lot or the cache on wikimedia side lagging, but I can't determine what actually happened, and the log says nothing except [2016-01-02 20:50:46] * [[:File:Fisher and Donaldson fudge doughnuts (3471269893).jpg]] hash_not_matching for that file. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 02:25, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

Flickrreview bot

It appears that the flickrreview bot stopped yesterday Zhuyifei1999 for unknown reasons. Can you fix the problem? Best Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 03:11, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

• The bot seems to have stopped again. --Stefan2 (talk) 21:07, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

  It seems to be running, but some images aren't edited. log file says [2016-01-10 03:51:02] APIError: (u'verification-error', u'This file did not pass file verification: File extension ".jpg" does not match the detected MIME type of the file (image/png).', u'See http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php for API usage'), so I passed the file manually for now and see if the rest will be reviewed --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 04:27, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

Tech News: 2016-02

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• Wikimedia no longer uses visitor statistics from comScore. [13]
• You can make interactive graphs with the Graph extension. There is now a tutorial for how to do this. [14]

Problems

• Some pages do not turn in up in categories where they should be. This is because link tables are sometimes not populated. [15]

Changes this week

• The Nuke extension will work with Flow. This will make it easier to handle spam in Flow. [16]
• New file uploads will now be patrollable. [17]
• Internet Explorer 8 will no longer have JavaScript support. You will still be able to browse and edit Wikipedia if you use Internet Explorer 8, but will not be able to use some features. This can be solved by upgrading to a newer version or switching to a different browser. [18][19]

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 12 January at 20:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• URLs in the recent changes IRC feed will no longer be rewritten to unencrypted HTTP. This could be a breaking change for bots dependent on the IRC feed. [20]
• The edit tabs for the wikitext editor and the visual editor will be combined to one single edit tab. You will be able to choose which one you prefer. If you are not logged in, your choice will be saved as a cookie in your browser. You can test the single edit tab. [21][22]
• There is a beta feature that adds links to the subject on other Wikimedia projects. This works much like the links to for example Wikipedia articles in other languages. It will go out of beta testing and be enabled for everyone in January. Wikis that don't want this can decide to have it disabled. [23][24]
• The difference between "alerts" and "messages" notifications is unclear to some. The developers want feedback at the Phabricator task or on MediaWiki.org so they can make this better. You can give feedback in your language if you can't write in English.

Ping

Heya. Sorry, I have not been around, personal (medical) issues, which I think I've mentioned to you in the past. Taking a bit of a break, need to distance myself somewhat from what I actually 'want' to do, and getting pulled into the drama of the day. I'll try to pop in to IRC in the next day or so, and ease back in... Revent (talk) 00:49, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Request

Could you modify SignBot so that it uses {{Unsigned2}} rather than {{Unsigned}}? I suspect that would be no harder and might actually be easier, since {{Unsigned2}} takes the parameters in the order they come off the history.

My reason for the request is simple -- I usually use {{Unsigned3}} when it seems appropriate and doesn't clutter up the page too much, but it is a nuisance to change {{Unsigned}} to {{Unsigned3}} because of the parameter order. If SignBot used {{Unsigned2}}, then it would be a simple matter of changing the digit.

I do not for a minute think that SignBot should use {{Unsigned3}}, as it would produce clutter some of the time.

Failing that, is it possible to tell Signbot to ignore user talk pages, or have an opt in or opt out?

Thanks, .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 16:14, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Should be now using {{Unsigned2}} and {{UnsignedIP2}}. For opt-out, do you mean per page (user talk page) or per user (unsigned user)? --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 03:56, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the change -- I just noticed it (and changed to Unsigned3) at UnDR. I don't think the opt out is needed after the change, but I meant that a user could choose that the bot did not work on his own talk page -- that I could exclude the bot from User:talk/Jameslwoodward -- but I wouldn't choose that now that it's unsigned2. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 16:24, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

Ok. I haven't coded the per page opt-out yet. Feel free to tell me when you got other use cases for that, and I'll code it. :) --Zhuyifei1999 (talk)

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• You can now follow when pages are added or removed from a category on German Wikipedia. The plan is to add it to Wikimedia Commons and other Wikipedias this week. [29][30]
• Administrators can hide individual entries of a page with RevisionDelete. There is now a button to choose "all", "none" or "inverse" in Special:Log. The article history will get the same buttons soon. Wikis that have done this locally with JavaScript will be able to remove that code. [31]

Changes this week

• You will be able to see the references when you preview a section you are editing. This will happen even if there is no <references /> tag in that section. [32]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 26 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 27 January. It will be on all wikis from 28 January (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 26 January at 20:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• There is now an extension called ArticlePlaceholder. It can automatically generate content on Wikipedia with data from Wikidata if there is no Wikipedia article. It will have a tag to remind the reader it is not an article and ask the reader to create one. The developer is now looking for smaller Wikipedias that want to try the extension. [33]
• The OTRS system will be upgraded. The plan is to do this on 3 February at 08:00 (UTC). It will probably take 6 to 8 hours. OTRS will be down during the upgrade. [34]
• Users will soon be automatically congratulated when they reach some edit count milestones. [35]
