User:AlexNewArtBot - New Article Bot[edit]

Hi, I am in the trial runs of the User:AlexNewArtBot (see Wikipedia:Bots/Requests_for_approval/AlexNewArtBot). The bot analyzes the new articles for a day and puts suspected Turkey-related articles into User:AlexNewArtBot/TurkeySearchResult, the articles are suppose to be manually put into the portal page and/or removed if irrelevant.

The list of rules are in User:AlexNewArtBot/Turkey the first pattern between the slashes on each line is the pattern that should be present in the article to trigger the rule (note the case insensitive match. The other patterns on the same line are suppose to inhibit the rule. E.g. for the Russian board /florida/ inhibits /petersburg/ rule as the article is most probably about the American city. If you are reasonably familiar with the regular expressions and know what you are doing, you can edit the rules straight away, but better ask me. In the Russian board I had to remove some rules: e.g. there are a lot of non-Russians named Vladimir and Chita, so I had to remove the names of the cities or have to much false positive. If you are interested why an article went to the list there is log on the User:AlexNewArtBot/TurkeyLog explaining the rule that sent an article to the searchresults (if the log is cleared try to look into the history of the log).

That is all. Any suggestions are welcome. Alex Bakharev 20:33, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Battle of Ramla[edit]

Do we know why three battles of Ramla appear in the new article anouncements ? Ramla is not in Turkey and the fighting parties are not Turks. I consider to clear those three battles from this list. But befote that I'll consult with the editor. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 11:49, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The links to three battles are cleared out. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 08:57, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Irrevelant articles[edit]

Any idea why the articles Baliza Hill, La Morenita (Antarctica) and Midway Drive-In (Texas) appear as the new article announcements in Project Turkey ? Well the last one refers to Turkey. But that Turkey is a small town of 494 inhabitants in Texas. For the other I found no clue. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 12:30, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Baliza Hill, La Morenita (Antarctica) mention Mugla Passage and the bot decided that it has something to do with Muğla. I have modified the rules accordingly, but it should be a reasonably rare event Alex Bakharev (talk) 13:32, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nov7-Nov 11[edit]

The bot for the new pages usually works fine. But the present new articles page in Project Turkey begins by November 11 and the last archieved page (#12) ends by November 7. There is a gap between these two points. Was the bot on vacation ? Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 09:57, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, sort of. The computer I am running the bot on crushed and I have not noticed this for a few days. Sorry. Alex Bakharev (talk) 23:26, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
