Marathon Petroleum Corporation Logo Assistance

Hello, I noticed that you have made some edits to the Marathon Petroleum Corporation page in the past and I was hoping you could help me replace the logo that is there now. The logo for branded Marathon retail gas stations was updated recently but not the the corporate one. "...the retail brand debuted a new Endurance image, including a retooled logo..." https://csnews.com/marathon-petroleum-goes-live-new-retail-brand-campaign https://csnews.com/marathon-unveils-new-image-branded-gas-stations

The accurate logo can be found on the Marathon Petroleum Corporation website here: https://www.marathonpetroleum.com/Newsroom/Corporate-Logos-and-Standards/ Is this something you would be able to help with? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:19B:8301:B5A0:241F:9AA:2CD6:28C3 (talk) 15:12, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2601:19B:8301:B5A0:241F:9AA:2CD6:28C3, hi! I don't really see the difference in logos. Regardless, the place to go is Wik.ipedia.Pro:Files for upload to upload the new logo. Then once it gets uploaded, you can replace the current one in the article with the new one. DOes that help? — Qwerfjkltalk 15:21, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Lockman Hole

I'm considering making an edit to the Lockman Hole article (Lockman Hole), after a brief mid-video interview with Jay Lockman himself where he voiced a preference for the name "Lockman Window".

I thought it might be a good courteous gesture of this community to change the beginning of the Lockman Hole article to read something more like "The Lockman Hole, or Lockman Window, is an area of the sky in which..."

Do you think this would be appropriate? Necessary Addition (talk) 20:00, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I should add the source, timestamped: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWJBAGrG0ms&t=1474s Necessary Addition (talk) 22:06, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Necessary Addition, it would at least be worth creating a redirect at Lockman Window (which I've just done). I'm not familiar with the subject, so I don't not how common the term is - if it's unlikely to be known to most people who know the topic, it's probably not worth including - but feel free to be bold and edit it yourself — Qwerfjkltalk 15:42, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on HH16 (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wik.ipedia.Pro. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either

  • disambiguates only one extant Wik.ipedia.Pro page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
  • disambiguates zero extant Wik.ipedia.Pro pages, regardless of its title; or
  • is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

Category:Incest in Greek mythology

Hi Qwerfjkl, earlier this year you closed the deletion discussion for Category:Incest in Greek mythology. [7] While I was the only editor in that discussion in favour of keeping the category, I don't think others really addressed my argument meaningfully, and I disagree with the category's deletion. I'm not really suggesting that you interpreted consensus incorrectly (I don't think you did), but rather that I don't think there was good reason for deletion. I was unsure whether WP:DELREV was the correct venue for this (as that seems to be for arguing that the closer misinterpreted consensus), so contacting you directly seemed logical. – Michael Aurel (talk) 01:28, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Michael Aurel, I think the best thing to do would be to start a discussion at WT:CFD and ping the participants to that discussion to see if you can work something out. — Qwerfjkltalk 07:54, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ah ok, thanks, so there isn't an official process for this then. I might consult with the editor who created the category first, as since I left my initial comment here I've noticed that in the last month or two they created a similar but distinct category, Category:Mythological people involved in incest, but assuming they think it's necessary, I'll start a discussion at WT:CFD as you've recommended. – Michael Aurel (talk) 10:24, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New Linter patterns

If you have time to run Task 31 against more patterns, I have a new batch collected from the signature submissions page in my sandbox. If you run a test edit against each of the patterns, I'll be happy to check the edits. I have moderate confidence that I got them right, but something could definitely have gone wrong with one or more patterns during the copy-paste-find-replace-concatenate process. – Jonesey95 (talk) 23:57, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nice catch. – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:06, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jonesey95, I checked over the rest and they looked good. When I ran the bot, I noticed Talk:Meal, Ready-to-Eat/Archive 1 (Diff ~1257216016) where the replacement actually introduced an error. Any idea how best to handle this? I suppose adding a space at the end of the find & replacement strings would work, though there might be other cases that have similar problems. — Qwerfjkltalk 21:02, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, include a trailing space in the "find" and the "replace" string for the Bahamut signature. I do that all the time in my regexes. – Jonesey95 (talk) 21:12, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jonesey95, okay, I'll add the trailing whitespace for that and any other replacements that look like they could be vulnerable to this kind of problem. — Qwerfjkltalk 21:15, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I scanned through the rest of the entries for similar problems. It looks like the string for "DCI2026" needs a trailing space in both strings also. The rest appear to be fine, at least with respect to this potential error. – Jonesey95 (talk) 21:16, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've made the changes. I think I'll run the batch tomorrow, I just need to do a bit more error checking. Also, one of the replacements uses the search insource:/\[\[User:Yellow Dingo\|\<b style\=\"color:\#FFCC33\">Yellow\<\/b> \<b style\=\"color:brown\">Dingo]]'''/ which returns no results. The total number of unique titles found is 24,437. Qwerfjkltalk 21:36, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It appears that the Yellow Dingo signatures have been fixed; they were in a previous batch and it looks like I neglected to remove them from the table after that run. No worries! Thanks in advance for running the task; I look forward to tens of thousands of fixes, and I'll have another batch once that has run. There were so many this time that I didn't go digging for more patterns that weren't already listed on the table. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:06, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jonesey95, I've started the batch. The code needed a little modification because it was stripping the replacements. Qwerfjkltalk 17:24, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you let me know what adjustments you needed to make, I can try to fix my process for generating the strings for you. – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:20, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jonesey95, it wasn't a problem on your end, the bug was in the code. Qwerfjkltalk 18:22, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Are you taking bot requests?

Hey Qwerfjkl, I hope you're well. I was wondering, are you taking bot requests at the moment? I was looking for someone to schedule a regular task, perhaps once a week, to add Template:WikiProject National Football League to relevant pages which don't have it yet. Every now and then I use AWB to do so, and I think it'd be a pretty straight forward and reasonable bot task. I run a recursive search against Category:National Football League players by team, skip talk pages which have "WikiProject National Football League", "NFLproject", "WikiProject NFL", "WPNFL", or "WP NFL", and then manually add the WikiProject template. Assessments typically come later and I wouldn't be asking the bot operator to try to code any of that in, as my primary goal to simply tag them as relevant to the WikiProject. Thankfully, based on Wik.ipedia.Pro:WikiProject National Football League/Assessment, we're pretty good about going back around and adding a rating (though importance not so much), which is why I don't think this task would be in vain. Entirely understandable if you're not interested in taking on another task, but I know you're great at what you do and I appreciate your work, so I thought I'd make this my first stop. Hey man im josh (talk) 18:14, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Hey man im josh, I can probably get round to this on the weekend. Have you had a discussion on the wikiproject talk page? - That would make the brfa a bit easier. I do have some code for this left over from WP:PIQA that I could probably repurpose for this task.
If desirable, I could use ORES for article quality ratings, perhaps restricting it to stub assessments which it's pretty accurate at. — Qwerfjkltalk 21:08, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No rush! I'll start a discussion at the WikiProject about it. I kind of didn't even think it'd be necessary but that's an ignorant thought on my part. Just because I do something manually sometimes doesn't mean there shouldn't be consensus that a bot can take over :P I think with ORES restricting to stub might be a great idea, so I'll include that when starting the discussion. Hey man im josh (talk) 21:27, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's probably not strictly neccessary, but BRFA is perpetually backlogged, so it's nice to make BRFAs as clear-cut as possible. Qwerfjkltalk 21:29, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Task 31 oddities

This was an odd one. No lint errors at all on the page when it edited, but the bot still changed X to Y, and created an unclosed italics issue due to the closing italics being after the date/time and not matching the sig pattern. Thought it was worth noting that it created an issue in case that's something that can be prevented. If it's just a odd fluke, no big deal.

And I also see that the bot is only fixing half of Timbouctou's signature. It didn't fix the missing closer italics on the Timbouctou userpage link portion: (example 1 and example 2). If that's intentional and it'll fix the other part later, ok. Just found it surprising. Zinnober9 (talk) 00:41, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The first issue is due to the user putting tags after the timestamp. I've just modified their other signatures that do this. The second problem is simply because I don't have that replacement listed; I've added it now. Qwerfjkltalk 11:56, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
