Hi, for those who may be interested, I've posted the list of pages at User:Dawnseeker2000/Sandbox 3. I've been using some borrowed scripts to help keep the list from growing too much, but it's been at the 4,200 level for the last couple of years. This is about articles that have references that refer to Wikipedia articles, and the first four here will remove those references and the fifth one removes the {{Circular reference|date=July 2024}} template, if present.

Hi! Can someone with AWB permissions have a quick go through the articles
returned by a search for insource:"last Company first Rand McNally"
?
These citations appear mostly to support claims of 1925 populations in United States populated places, from Rand McNally's 1925
Premier Atlas of the World etc. The citations do already correctly contain |publisher=Rand McNally & Company
, and the source provides no other attribution, so the bogus |last=Company
and |first=Rand McNally and
parameters can simply be removed.
Thanks in advance, Folly Mox ( talk) 13:29, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
|publisher=
field. If we wanted to retain corporate authorship attribution, then the substitution would be |author=
avoid citations like {{cite news |work=Weekday Times |author=''Weekday Times'' editors |title=...}}
, unless the article is on a field in which the majority of professional journals covering that field use such a citation style.|lastn=Company |firstn=Rand McNally
or |authorn=Rand McNally & Company
unnecessarily duplicate |publisher=Rand McNally & Company
.When {{
small}}, {{
midsize}}, and other size-reducing templates are used inside infobox parameter values, it is almost always a violation of
MOS:SMALLFONT, an accessibility guideline (exceptions are in enlarged parameters like |title=
). I have found that an editor added {{
midsize}} to {{
Infobox judge}} parameter values in
about 350 articles, and to {{
infobox officeholder}} parameter values in
as many as 960 articles. Is anyone available to tidy these up,
like this? The fixes should be limited to infobox parameter values; uses in the body of the article are often acceptable. I expect that there will be another, similar request once those are cleared up and I can see where else {{
midsize}} is being used. Thanks. –

I kindly ask, in accordance with the consensus recently reached for "e" ( here), since there are almost 1,000 results for this group ( https://en.wikipedia.org/?fulltext=1&ns0=1&ns10=1&ns118=1&ns14=1&profile=advanced&search=Aldo%2C+Giovanni+%26+Giacomo&title=Special%3ASearch), to activate a bot for all these results. Thanks in advance. JacktheBrown ( talk) 17:31, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
I seek to depopulate several categories with similar contents, which are almost all redirects with a common format and which sometimes point to synonyms (e.g. Order-3-4 square honeycomb is another name for the cubic honeycomb).
