All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part V

[GethN7]

I guess in that case it'll be back to Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts, since they already have the records etc. from the case I was starting to set in motion over TVT's copyright isuees.

I went through my list of contributions -- that seems to be the only page of mine circa June that got copied over. Other folks might want to doublecheck for themselves, though -- particularly in http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/el.php?findfor=Mandolin. After all, if he copied over one ATT page, he's likely to have copied others.

Oh, and Geth -- I'm setting up to try my hand at bot-writing to take care of a few things I'd been doing manually as I came across instances. Before I launch anything, though, do you have any advice, instructions, warnings, etc.?

Thanks.

 

I recommend using the following:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser

It's free, will do most of what you ask, is highly configurable for almost all jobs I can name (though pywikipediabot and the Perl MW bot are better for a few more esoteric tasks), and all it requires is a MW account (like your own or an account set up strictly for bot work) to act through to do a lot of edits without need for manual labor.

As for TVT, I hope it doesn't come to that, but if they drag their heels and don't address this in a timely manner, then I wish you luck, but I'd wait for a response until next Friday at least.
