Category talk:Departments of France

message: Many of the articles in this category are missorted again now.  Most of them were once sorted correctly.  But DomBot has gone amok, removing properly added sort keys.
The problem originates from a nasty template that adds categories, without any sort keys.  That means that all the articles with diacritics in their name do not get properly indexed.  Gene Nygaard 05:56, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I added the category with the proper index when I was correcting my errors. I had made no error on this page; the correction I made now ensures that the article is sorted correctly in the list.
* Cantal: AWB changed * to *, again correcting a mistake in case. :Category:Departments of France didn't appear separately on the page and didn't need to; there's no indexing required for the article.
* Departments of France: AWB did general cleanup such as removing linked years in the article's section headers, etc.; :Category:Departments of France didn't appear on the page, nor should it.
So what was required was reverting five edits (thanks to the one that Nygaard already reverted, otherwise, it would have been six). That's not a bot gone "amok"; any other issues with the sorting in this category existed before any changes were made by DomBot.—DomBot talk ; Chidom talk, owner/operator. 13:12, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Snakebot

message: Hey Guys (Caltech to be specific), 
What is the problem with allowing the Serpentronic robot snake link? This is a real robot snake project with a movie. Why would you allow Gavin Millars snakes but not the Serpentronic snake? This is under EXTERNAL links and if it isn't related to robot snakes then what is? The Thinkbotics site is educational and would be worth a look for someone interested in robot snakes and possibly building them. And how elitist to think that every resource should be as big as NASA or IEEE. If your argument is that the site is commercial then you've got to get rid of most of the links in wikipedia because without resources education can not continue. This is really discouraging for someone trying to do something good by contributing.
You guys really have me wondering what is going on here...

Talk:Barlanark

message: Whoever wrote that Hallhill road and Pendeen road were nice areas has obviously not been to Barlanark in a long time. I grew up there and the areas mentioned are plagued with crime. Drug and alcohol abuse are common in the area, as is gang culture. Depression is also rife amongst the mainly working-class and unemployed residents.
Barlanark saw a sudden influx of new, mostly poor, residents from Easterhouse in the late 1990's when redevelopment of Easterhouse forced many residents out into nearby neighbourhoods (my family included).
If anyone would like to amend this then please do - I don't have the time at the moment to gather sources and phrase my observations more academically.
What's wrong with Barlanark? It's a fanatstic place now and has changed a lot. Barlanark gets a bad rap still for it's gangster days. It's, doesn't help when a few of those gangters are mentioned in the article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jobbybum (talk • contribs) 20:53, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Pshhh

message: As an alum and former editor of this article, I have noticed certain trends:
1. Updates to this article are extremely selective. Even though Wardlaw has changed substantially in the last 4 years (when most of the article was written), very few sections have been edited to reflect those changes.
2. The changes made have been biased. For example, the entire section about criticism of the administration over dresscode inequalities has been removed. (Probably by Gerard Gonella.) Even though most of the article is over 4 years old, most of the edits made since then have removed criticisms of Wardlaw-Hartridge--instead of updating the criticisms section with new, updated information, the entire section was simply removed, with no updates. This edit is particularly representative of bias since the criticisms were referenced (the source was the school newspaper), and no reference as to why it should be removed was provided.
