User talk:Ohconfucius/script/MOSNUM dates
This script is being run by User:Alpha Quadrant, and it has introduced serious errors into at least one page it was run on. I am wondering if this script should be suppressed until it is fixed.
Here is the edit to which I am referring: [1] Scroll down to the bottom. In the Further Reading section, you will see three kinds of errors introduced by this script:
- There were seven distinct books before this edit. After your edit, two of the books (by authors Crawford and Schneider) were deleted, and replaced with duplicates of other entries. The revised list still had seven entries, but two of them (authors Andrew and Rusher) appeared twice.
- The capitalizion of the book titles was altered (incorrectly).
- The old list was an annotated bibliography -- it included the books and a brief description of each book. In this edit, the descriptions were completely deleted.
To be fair, the only reason I believe this script was at fault is because the editor who made this edit stated so in his/her edit description. If he/she was incorrect in so stating, my apologies! — Lawrence King (talk) 03:41, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
