Invalid arXiv identifier

This edit added an identifier I can't find in arXiv. Choess (talk) 02:43, 9 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not quite sure why it did that. It's a rather non-standard bibcode, so it may be related to that. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 03:21, 9 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It did the same thing here. The common factor seems to be that they both have ASCL ID numbers, which the bot seems to be misidentifying as arXiv IDs. Modest Genius ^talk 09:57, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Seems so. I was reviewing the bot's edits, but you caught it before I did. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 13:11, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Once again, in this edit to the same article, List of cosmological computation software. Exactly the same error - it misidentified the ASCL for the article as an arXiv. Dairy_{talk} 02:52, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I'll need to revisit that one now that I've finally got the bot to run again. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 02:55, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Destroyed formula

Bibcode Bot destroyed a display formula in TeX at General Relativity. See here. Apparently it deleted "\n" and "\t" where they appeared in the formula. "\n" was replaced by a new-line; and "\t" by a tab or some blanks. JRSpriggs (talk) 20:51, 8 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes it's a known bug. Trying to fix this with User:Δ. I review every bot edit until the bot is fixed, so I fix those manually when they happen. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 20:55, 8 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It appears that Δ (talk · contribs) is indefinitely blocked. So someone else will have to take over Bibcode Bot. JRSpriggs (talk) 21:38, 8 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You don't need to be unblocked to collaborate on bots. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 21:40, 8 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Should be fixed now. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 23:18, 8 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox script error

I reverted this edit by Bibcode Bot, because it caused some error to occur in the infobox, but I couldn't identify the problem. But now that I've reverted it, it seems no longer to appear. Please do as you think best, Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 20:22, 29 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure what you're talking about. That edit cause no difference in the infobox at all. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 23:12, 29 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Spurious characters added to bibcode

The bot apparently added spurious characters to bibcode values in this edit. – Jonesey95 (talk) 11:13, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah that's been fixed. I thought I caught them all, but I guess I missed that one. Here was the intended fix: [1]. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 11:34, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. There were five or six like this in Category:CS1 errors: bibcode. You can see the others in my contributions from a couple of hours ago. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:30, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

OABOT arxiv suggestions

Hello Headbomb, in OAbot queue we have a few thousands matches for arxiv IDs which could be added to existing citations. Do you want to add them automatically with your bot? The data comes in JSON files like this:

{"utcnow": "2018-04-21 08:40:59.102709", "page_name": "102_Miriam", "proposed_edits": [{"conflicting_value": "", "orig_hash": "7c11903b9b6dfb82fdb1ee7afbedb8c2", "proposed_change": "arxiv=1203.4336", "classification": "link_added", "index": 22, "policy": {"romeo_id": "30", "preprint": "can", "postprint": "can", "published": "cannot"}, "orig_string": "{{Citation\n | first1    = Frederick\n | last1     = Pilcher\n | title     = Period Determination for 84 Klio, 98 Ianthe, 102 Miriam 112 Iphigenia, 131 Vala, and 650 Amalasuntha\n | work      = The Minor Planet Bulletin\n | volume    = 35\n | issue     = 2\n | pages      = 71\u201372\n |date=June 2008\n | doi       = 10.1016/j.pss.2012.03.009\n | bibcode   = 2008MPBu...35...71P\n | postscript= .\n}}", "issn": "0032-0633", "proposed_link": "http://arxiv.org/abs/1203.4336"}]}

The bot uses ADSABS data only, and I lack the skills to make adapt the bot to do anything else. Right now the bot is offline because of issues with the NASA databases, and I lack the skills to fix that too, so the bot is dead for now. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 12:01, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Understood. Better use the oabot code and make a bot request for that then, starting with some subset of its suggestions. --Nemo 16:07, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Stephen Hawking

Stephen Hawking was appointed in 2016 Honorary Professor of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands). I think this information should go in the section "Awards and honours". See references: Stephen Hawking, Profesor Honorario en Canarias, Director del IAC recuerda a brillante científico y a un luchador por la vida. The page is blocked and I can not add this data. you can help me? Thank you.--95.22.177.12 (talk) 20:57, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
