The article The British Encyclopedia has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unreferenced since 2007. No indication notability.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Quarry

Hi, in case you are still reading.. I could use advice with Quarry 18894 which you wrote and is being used daily by User:GreenC bot/Job 10 for adding {{ShadowsCommons}}. It looks like in January cross database joins will be going away per Wiki Replicas 2020 Redesign. They recommend doing multiple queries and joining results in-application but I am unsure what the multi queries would look like. SQL gives me PTSD :) Any suggestions would be most welcome. -- GreenC 21:08, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

Don't know how to solve this. Sorry. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 22:58, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

@GreenC: Query now removed from quarry. You'll have to ask the wikitech people for advice on a suitable replacement in respect of your bot. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 23:17, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

@GreenC: Please come talk to contributors and WMCS folks over at IRC Freenode:#wikimedia-cloud or on the cloud mailing list. The timeline in that email (which may end up revised to be slower, depending on how some things go) shows that both systems will be live in January and we hope to have both live side-by-side much sooner than that. The idea is to give people time to migrate their work and code over to the new way before we retire it. We hope to get some code samples up to help soon. Quarry will not be able to do multi-database joins once it is on the new system. BStorm (WMF) (talk) 23:45, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

Thank you ShakespeareFan00 for creating a Phab. -- GreenC 00:52, 17 November 2020 (UTC)

JL-Bot

Just for your information: pages that are marked with {{User:JL-Bot/Project content}} are generated automatically by User:JL-Bot and, aside from the template at the top, are not meant to be edited manually. Because of that, edits like this one are futile. The bot will overwrite it again in a week. —⁠andrybak (talk) 10:49, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

Well then can you please suggest an "appropriate" way of the image gallery caption not confusing the parser then?

Your Recent Nominations at FfD

Hi ShakespeareFan00. I noticed you mass-listing PD files which have been mistagged as non-free at FfD (ex: 1). Most of these are clear-cut cases and don't require discussion, so could you please just fix the local license tags (or tag the Commons copy as a copyvio)? Thanks, FASTILY 23:13, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

They went to FFD, because I don't have the authority here to update them unilaterally. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 07:15, 11 September 2021 (UTC)

Sorry, what "authority"? There's no hierarchy when it comes to fixing errors. Please be WP:BOLD and just fix the errors you see, thanks. -FASTILY 07:41, 11 September 2021 (UTC)

Stop

ShakespeareFan00, please stop flooding FfD with low-quality nominations that highlight easily correctible errors (e.g. 1). I have a lot of respect for what you've done for the project, but your recent FfD nominations are bordering on disruptive editing. You've been around long enough to know exactly how to fix these, so please start doing that. Thanks, FASTILY 04:42, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

I'm sorry you feel that way. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 07:43, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

You may feel they are easily corrected, but as has been shown with some of them, there have been some doubts from others as to the applicability of a unilateral F8, due to differences in how various licensing and TOO interact. If being cautious and asking at FFD is generating low aulity nominations or is disruptive, then there should be clearer guidance.

In any case you've manged to convince me that I lack the competence to continue with the process of trying to sort this out.
