- Reason: Bot to review GODL-India, I had to revert all test edits as it doesn't have LR rights. I don't have the energy to revert 50 test edits that are generally required for Bot Flag. Note that every edit was correct, but I still reverted due to fear of objections. Best, Eatcha (talk) 11:54, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

- @Eatcha: your request is a technical one. You should apply at Commons:Bots/Requests instead. If your bot is approved I'm sure they'll make it a reviewer.--Roy17 (talk) 15:06, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
- @Roy17, it is in the testing phase I will apply by Monday evening. (I am usually a little busy on the weekends). From my past experience with bots(for my other 2 bots), they ask you to make test edits(about 50), I'm just warming up before applying there. -- Best, Eatcha (talk) 15:12, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
- @Eatcha: You should have LR rights first. — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 15:16, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
- @Jeff G. What ? I can't review these images, it's just my bot. I'm just too lazy to review this backlog manually. Best, Eatcha (talk) 15:21, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
- @Eatcha: I think Jeff G. is pointing out that your bot cannot have License Review rights unless you have the same rights. // sikander { talk } 🦖 20:38, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

- QuestionIn your Bot test edits you passed license of File:C. Achutha Menon.jpg which is a crop image of File:C Achutha Menon 2013 stamp of India.jpg. Could you please explain me that how Indian stamp images are also covered under GODL-India license. Thank you. --✝iѵɛɳ२२४०†ลℓк †๏ мэ 08:08, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
* I've removed your LRR request as as noted by Jeff you'd need to go to COM:Bots/Requests - I've pasted the discussion here so that you can continue it here if wanted, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 11:06, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
✝iѵɛɳ२२४० I don't have any idea of what is covered under GODL, I'm a noob in this matter. I've blacklisted the stamp site, will not pass any stamps from that site from now. Any other type of images that you know which are not covered under GODL? I thought that everything from GOI is GODL licensed -- Best, Eatcha (talk) 14:11, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
- Dear Eatcha, I think that you must first take enough experience about COM:LR and {{GODL-India}} and understand it how it works. License review is not about just approving if there is image at the source. It needs complete study of that image. We all know GODL-INDIA has a huge backlog and we are very happy that you want to help in it but it's not as easy as it looks. Look at my history I have just been working on approving GODL-INDIA on a large scale and I have been personally seeing this issue. Hope this helps. This is not a step to discourage you but a study is required for License review on Commons. Thank you --✝iѵɛɳ२२४०†ลℓк †๏ мэ 15:38, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
- Also do have a look at Template talk:GODL-India#Stamps of India.--✝iѵɛɳ२२४०†ลℓк †๏ мэ 15:41, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

--Patrick Rogel (talk) 16:34, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
- Hi. Please note too you are not a license reviewer (contrary to I) and the bot you are operating is not authorized to review files you have uploaded. --Patrick Rogel (talk) 16:46, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
- Patrick Rogel I have permission from a bureaucrat to test the bot on diffrent sites, and that is the only reason I uploaded these images(I don't care if they are deleted after my bot gets flagged, anyways these won't be deleted). See https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Bots/Requests/GODLBot . Best, Eatcha (talk) 16:50, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
- As it seems your bot bugs. --Patrick Rogel (talk) 18:15, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
- Patrick Rogel, if you are talking about the reviews, they are fine per https://data.gov.in/sites/default/files/Gazette_Notification_OGDL.pdf (passed in 2017), it should take some time for all the sites to migrate from old to new Drupal-based themes. It depends on the government, earlier the government of India didn't have anything like GODL, but now it has. Anything published by Government of India (that is not sensitive) is now GODL. My bot only compares the images using Vision AI, it's not in the task to detect All rights reserved in the webpage, it's not required as per GODL. More images can be found at Category:Stamps of India by year 90% of the images are from http://postagestamps.gov.in and the cool part is their outdated Copyright policy, see http://postagestamps.gov.in/Copyrightpolicy.aspx . Best, Eatcha (talk) 18:51, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
- Patrick Rogel The best part about Govt. of India. They stole an image from Charles J Sharp, see File:Hyacinth macaw (Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus) in flight.JPG (photographed on 14 September 2015)
- Govt. of India released a stamp using that image, see File:India Post 2016 Hyacinth macaw 10r.jpg (In 2016).
- I understand that the government of India's file can't be trusted but we don't have an option either.
- See File:Beautiful Backgroud by Govt. of India.jpg and this reverse serach -- Eatcha (talk) 19:03, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
- Just found that File:Beautiful Mountains by Ministry of Tourism, GOI.jpg is copyvio from https://www.aytour.de/aktuelles/indien-und-der-monsun/ (this has a bigger image, than GOI) -- Eatcha (talk) 19:10, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

Code issues in User:Eatcha/common.js
editHi Eatcha, I am a bored bot (this is kind of a computer program) that is watching the recent changes and tapping buttons like I did now.
Curious about the reason? Possibly not but I will tell you anyway:
- You edited User:Eatcha/common.js. Glad to see you coding in javascript! Have you ever considered becoming a MediaWiki hacker?
- Though, that change appears to introduce 1 new jshint issue — the page's status is now having warnings. Note that invalid or ambiguous code often has unwanted side effects like breaking other tools for you. If you cannot find out how to fix it, I suggest blanking the page for now.
- To help you understanding where the issues are, I have aggregated a report here and now. If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask users experienced in javascript writing for help. But do not ask the bot's operators (chronically overwrought) unless you suspect an error of mine. If you prefer not getting spammed by me, you can opt-out reports by adding {{ValidationOptOut|type=all}} to your user page or cmb-opt-out anywhere on your your global user page on Meta. Good luck at Wikimedia Commons and happy hacking!

Tech News
- There will be no Tech News issue next week. The next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 2 September 2019.
Problems
- Some abuse filters stopped working because of a code change. Only variables for the current action will work. Variables defined inside a branch may not work outside of that branch. You can read more to see how to fix the filters.
- Only six accounts can be created from one IP address per day. Between 12 August and August 15 this was two accounts per day. This was because of a security issue. It is now six accounts per day again. [7]
Changes later this week
- Only a limited number of accounts can be created from one IP address. An IP address can be whitelisted so that it can create as many accounts as needed. This is useful at events where many new persons learn to edit. IP addresses that are whitelisted for this reason will also not show CAPTCHAs when you create accounts. This will happen on Wednesday. [8]
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 20 August. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 21 August. It will be on all wikis from 22 August (calendar).
Meetings
- You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 21 August at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.
Future changes
- There is an RFC about creating a new global user group with the right to edit abuse filters. This will be used to fix broken filters and make sure all filters will still work when software changes happen. You can read more and comment.
Special:Contributions/newbies
will no longer be working. This is because of performance reasons. It showed edits by new accounts. You can see this in the recent changes feed instead. [9]

- The previously announced change of positions of the "Wikidata item" link on all wikis has been rollbacked due to unexpected cache issues. [11]
- The limit for rollbacks has been increased from 10 to 100 rollbacks per minute. [12]
- The advanced version of the edit review pages (Recent Changes, Watchlist, and Related Changes) now include two new filters. These filters are for "All contents" and "All discussions".

Problems
- Last week's Tech News had delivery problems. Some did not get the newsletter. Some got it more than one time. The developers are working on the problem. [25]
- There was a problem with the new MediaWiki version last week. The new version was paused. [26]
Changes later this week
- You will be able to read but not to edit some mid-sized wikis for up to 30 minutes on September 17 at 05:00 (UTC). You can see which wikis. [27]
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 17 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 18 September. It will be on all wikis from 19 September (calendar).
Meetings
- You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 18 September at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.
Future changes
- The Wikipedia app for Android invites users to do small tasks. This is to get more readers to edit. If they get reverted too many times it will pause or block the tasks for that user. All normal editing will still work if the community doesn't block the user. The developers want to know if the plan looks OK. You can see what it could look like and give feedback.
- When you look at an old version of a page you get a warning that this is not the newest version. This uses the CSS class

Problems
- Last week's Tech News had delivery problems. Some did not get the newsletter. Some got it more than one time. The developers are working on the problem. [29]
- There was a problem with the new MediaWiki version last week. The new version was paused. [30]
Changes later this week
- You will be able to read but not to edit some mid-sized wikis for up to 30 minutes on September 17 at 05:00 (UTC). You can see which wikis. [31]
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 17 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 18 September. It will be on all wikis from 19 September (calendar).
Meetings
- You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 18 September at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.
Future changes
- The Wikipedia app for Android invites users to do small tasks. This is to get more readers to edit. If they get reverted too many times it will pause or block the tasks for that user. All normal editing will still work if the community doesn't block the user. The developers want to know if the plan looks OK. You can see what it could look like and give feedback.
- When you look at an old version of a page you get a warning that this is not the newest version. This uses the CSS class
.mw-revision
. It will use the CSS class.warningbox
for styling instead. If your wiki uses templates to change how the warning looks they will have to be updated. This will happen later. If this would cause problems you should tell the developers in the next couple of weeks. [32]

Talkpage colour
editHi Eatcha, I've replaced the green text colour here to black,
Those visually impaired may have had trouble reading your talkpage and it also gave the impression there was a coding error somewhere,
As a general rule most if not all editors stick to having black text especially on talkpages,
Also you may want to replace your <font></font>
code as font is now deprecated[54] (You can use span (ie <span style="color: purple;">Hi</span> which produces Hi)),
Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 22:11, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
