Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Eve Pearce, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Clifford Williams (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Tagging articles for merger

edit

Hi, Thanks for all your work on tagging duplicate articles for merger. The example I saw was William Carnegie (priest) and William Hartley Carnegie. If I understand correctly, you are using a script which tags the articles, but does not start a merger discussion. I was wondering whether it would it be a good idea to amend the script to generate a merger discussion and whether you would be able to do so? That would follow Wikipedia merging guidance, which recommends creating a discussion (Step 1) before tagging the relevant pages (Step 2). The first post could identify the articles for merger, explain in a sentence how you identified them, and link to the Wikipedia merging guidance.TSventon (talk) 12:58, 30 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Understood, I'm putting it on my todo list. Some wikis actually require doing this, so they have already been blacklisted. Matěj Suchánek (talk) 13:25, 31 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
Hi, any news on this? I am asking again because I have just got round to merging the Carnegie articles. TSventon (talk) 16:47, 10 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
Sorry, nothing yet. But now it looks more straightforward to me, so I could do it soon. By the way, this list contains duplicates marked on Wikidata but not all of them are marked here. Perhaps it could get some attention. --Matěj Suchánek (talk) 18:54, 10 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for the link, I have had a look at the list. Is there any way to remove false positives, e.g. Eckerö Linjen and its similarly named sister company Eckerö Line? Is the list complete (based on the criteria it uses) or is wikidata too big for that? Can you identify duplicates from Wikipedia, or do you have to wait until both articles have wikidata items? TSventon (talk) 10:43, 12 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
It uses Wikidata as the only source, false positives / errors should be solved there. If an item is marked as duplicate, the article occurs in the list. --Matěj Suchánek (talk) 11:12, 12 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
Do you know how to remove false positives in Wikidata? I have looked at the Eckerö Linjen and Eckerö Line items and can't see how to do it. TSventon (talk) 11:21, 12 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
Like this. --Matěj Suchánek (talk) 11:40, 12 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

Regarding footballer Veliyan Parushev

Thank you for going ahead and merging Velian Parushev into Veliyan Parushev, Matěj. Yes, these articles referred to the same footballer. Different transcriptions can sometimes lead to confusion.Oleg Morgan talk) 13:58, 30 August 2019 (CEE)

No problem. I just proposed it, though. --Matěj Suchánek (talk) 13:55, 30 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
