Jeff, my dear, the merge took place today and cheunger removed the delete flag manually!! Now I can breathe again and thank you all for the speedy action. It would have been a catastrophy to loose all that work...

It will take a long time for this item to come up in the queue of merge/delete tasks (there are several hundred ahead of it), so this flag won't be cleared for awhile. But it won't be deleted; don't worry.

Hi Carmen,

This is probably an artifact of the merge. When the topics were merged, the delete flag was also merged. I've already filed a bug regarding this and in a future release, the flags should be reset after a merge. I've gone ahead and manually removed the flag.

EXACTLY!!

I hope you can stop this, I worry my head off .

It looks like the bad topic got merged into the good topic, and the "delete" flag got merged along with it. This is clearly a bug -- thanks for bringing it to our attention!

Good morning, Cris

long ago I flagged the duplicate Lorenzo Ferrero with Merge or Delete. Today after the merge, the Delete banner appeared on the GOOD page. Please have a look, as it was never meant to be like this, the actual page is not for deletion! Thank you,

Um… you’re welcome? I’m not really sure what I did, though. Or am supposed to do?...

crism: World Factbook Data for Countries

2007-09-04T07:16:16.0000Z

Excellent news, I was just worried that it had gone quiet.

I can see that particularly for countries, there could be almost unending statistics which would make the page very busy. Different levels of view seem like a good way of approaching this. Maybe each user could specify which properties they'd like to see on a page, and there could be groups of properties defined as well, so by default only the "overview" properties would be shown.

As I was making various edits, I thought it would be nice when adding a value to be able to also indicate the source of the data, (and possibly to accomodate multiple values from different sources). e.g. the total area of a country is not as well defined as you might think and there are a variety of different sources which give different values for the areas. This is common for many properties, and it'd be nice for any property to be able to say where the data is from.

Ήο Κυβερνήτικος! The Factbook data exposed a whole raft of interesting issues with which we’ve been dealing before returning to it. This includes support for units of measurements in properties, time-variant values, and just some general user interface design issues (as adding three dozen properties really changes the look of a page). Stay tuned, though!

I notice that you mentioned that you'd added the world factbook data to the sandbox sometime ago, but it hasn't made it into the nonsandbox version. Are you still working on it?

crism: "Deaths in [date]" topics

2007-07-24T19:22:46.0000Z

Thanks for getting back. In fact, since they're basically lists: should the topics be there at all? Presumably there's a case for flagging them for deletion (since like wikipedia 'Lists of X' pages in general) whatever information they contain would only replicate some query (here, about deceased people & their date of death).

crism: "Deaths in [date]" topics

2007-07-24T19:07:54.0007Z

Hi, dsp13. That type was added by a script I ran, when date of death was moved from Person to the new Deceased Person. I had no intention of asserting personhood of any topic touched by that script, so by all means remove the person types from those topics as you find them. Thanks!

crism: "Deaths in [date]" topics

2007-07-24T18:09:13.0004Z

Chris, I notice you've added the type "deceased person" to these topics; my intuition was that since the topics were lists of people rather than people, they shouldn't be typed "person" at all. But since you seemed to be acting with purpose, I stopped my reflex deletion of the type to raise the query with you!

What happened to your comments on my language types? Lost to the void it seems. Is this a discussion bug or a sinister plot?
