Context and History of Tagging[edit]

Project talk page tagging ( From the userpage of the BOt Operator)[edit]

Hello Tinu. Does your bot still do wikiproject tagging on talk pages? The previous bot that used to do it for WP:VIET, SatyrBot (talk · contribs) has left, and I was wondering if you could step in on the categories at Wikipedia:WikiProject Vietnam/Categories. Thanks, Blnguyen (bananabucket) 04:19, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi Blnguyen, I am happy to do the task with TinucherianBot. Meanwhile can you engage the project members to carefully verify ALL the categories and remove all the possibly wrong categories. Dont misunderstand by being cautious here , as we have faced many issues with such huge scale bot tagging before (see WP:BON#TinucherianBot ). Once I get the final go ahead, I will start the bot with the final list. -- Tinu Cherian - 05:04, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I already manually looked at all of the new ones that were added and all the rest were fine when SatyrBot does them. The other guys have been fine with it since it was started. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 05:13, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

OK. I will also have a look on each categories one by one as much as possible... Can you look in War related categories for once more carefully...The chances of wrong articles in them are usually more.. I will keep you also posted of the progress ...-- Tinu Cherian - 05:19, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

I have also left a message at the project talk page and on the members' talk page -- Tinu Cherian - 07:11, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Project talk page tagging(copied from Project page)[edit]

Blnguyen had requested me for the service of TinucherianBot to tag articles in the categories in Wikipedia:WikiProject Vietnam/Categories for the WikiProject Vietnam. I request the members to kindly have a look and to carefully verify ALL the categories and remove all the possibly wrong categories. Dont misunderstand by being cautious here , as we have faced many issues with such huge scale bot tagging before (see WP:BON#TinucherianBot ). Once I get the final go ahead, I will start the bot with the final list. Thank you for choosing TinucherianBot for the project,. It is a pleasure working for this project -- Tinu Cherian - 05:47, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

I am leaving a msg on the talk pages of all members -- Tinu Cherian - 05:50, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

For example, Category:Yi people has mostly China-related content. We should be cautious about some of these. Also, the history categories may include things like World War II, which shouldn't be tagged with WPVN. Badagnani (talk) 06:06, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

I apologize for not being a subject expert on Vietnam. But I am sharing below some of the categories found in the list. Can someone see if the categories mentioned are relavent to be completely tagged ? It will be good if you could go into the categories and have a check on the articles.

If they are not to be tagged, kindly go to list and remove them.. Thanks in advance -- Tinu Cherian - 11:41, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Most of the categories listed directly above seem good. We need to decide if we are tagging the articles on individual US soldiers who fought in the Vietnam War and other US topics that relate to the Vietnam War. Also, I think that we can remove the categories for Sino-French War, Cambodian Civil War, and other wars that do not 100% involve Vietnam; when an individual battle or other article does relate to Vietnam, it will be under another category, such as "Battles involving Vietnam" and will get tagged. ... I'm going to remove those war categories from the list. LordAmeth (talk) 13:02, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

I didn't think the two on Tai peoples were relevant. More interestingly, CAT:Gin people is a subcat of People of Vietnamese descent, which could be tagged as a whole. There may some other cases where we could come up a level on the cats. Itsmejudith (talk) 14:15, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Can somebody look into the rest of categories regarding United States ? Are they appropriate, people might just oppose tagging them as Vietnam too ... -- Tinu Cherian - 12:09, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

I think it's something we need to discuss as a Project, perhaps along with others, such as the Military History Project, as to whether or not we consider these things to be within our purview, rather than simply a matter of any one of us looking at the categories and deciding... I raised the same issue some time ago, before there was a Vietnam Project, here, and there wasn't much response or discussion, so I don't know if the matter was ever really resolved. LordAmeth (talk) 17:22, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

I removed the ones I crossed out. For the US personnel killed in VN, these are basically all Medal of Honor recipients, soldiers who were notable for getting killed by doing something very brave. As all their notable activities occurred in VN, I left it in there. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 03:23, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

So shall I consider Wikipedia:WikiProject Vietnam/Categories as the final 'cleaned' up list. I will start the bot run soon...To be 'safe' , I will run the categories that invoves US men and military , the war categories on the second phase... I will keep updated of the progress... -- Tinu Cherian - 06:44, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Yes please. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 06:52, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanq..

Thank you, Tinucherian; you are one of the best Wikipedians. You've helped us a lot. Badagnani (talk) 16:23, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Badagnani for your kind words. -- Tinu Cherian - 16:46, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

This is the list of last Phase (5) categories, possibly a list of 'risky' categories:

Can some one go through the above and let us know if any of the categories above need to avoided ? Thanks in advance. -- Tinu Cherian - 04:48, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

They look ok. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 05:06, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
