Hello, dear Apoc2400. Unfortunately, I have not much experience in the preparation of articles in the Wiki. This explains the large number of unsuccessful previous attempts to create this article. Virtonomics there long enough (more than 6 years in Russian under the name Virtonomica). In the Russian language Internet is indeed a very significant phenomenon, and perhaps the most popular project economic game. This business simulation actually use many Russian universities as a training program. In 2007 Virtonomica was recognized as the best business simulation in Russian language Internet. In English-speaking Internet has few references to Virtonomica (English-speaking project name - Virtonomics) because the game only recently translated into English. Here are some links to Russian-language sources about the game Virtonomica (Virtonomics):
Unfortunately, most sources still in Russian. I really hope that after all you do not erase this article, because this project really represents a very interesting phenomenon, and quite unique and useful for many people interested in business and economics.

Hello--
That page hasn't been touched in white awhile, but I had it watchlisted and say you post and tossed up a decent-sized summary of how some of it worked out and how it resulted in far far more sour feelings and time wasted than any productive learning whatsoever. It was just....... bad, for anyone following for about 2 full weeks. As in, at least as heated as a frustrating climate change or Israel article. Well have fun! It's a whole lot to read in full if you're terribly bored, but I'd say no one should ever subject him/herself to something like that. Cheers~ ♪ daTheisen (talk) 14:11, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

I note that the query string is retained in full, which is usually not useful. I suggest either a checkbox, or to trim the query string by default to book id and page number.
When I manually add a page number, it doesn't get inserted into the template.

Should be preloaded with current date, I don't see many instances where this is not appropriate.
I did not at first realize that you can use the "or" links to switch from "author" format to "first/last" format, you could relabel the buttons to "switch to other name format". Also, I'd expect this to be a toggle rather than a one-time affair.
With two authors, only the second author displayed the link to Wikipedia. For clarity you should make two links/buttons labeled "fill authorlink" and "search on en.Wikipedia" or similar.
The "make" button just inserts the last name of the first author. Please change this to the last names of the first two authors and year, e. g. WardBrownlee2000. You might want to offer several options for different styles.
I have learned that per WP:ELNO No. 15, citations shouldn't link to Google Books when there already is an ISBN. Personally, I have no problem with it, but I seem to be in a minority here. Paradoctor ( talk) 12:58, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Now there is a (very simple) New York Times citation maker using their data API at
It is also integrated into the experimental version of the refToolbar userscript. -- Apoc2400 ( talk) 13:16, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
I just stumbled over this tool. I see what looks like a problem. I entered data for three authors named by last & first plus a couple of coauthors. There is only one "make authorlink" clicker, positioned at author3. When clicked, it makes an authorlink using the name of the final coauthor. Shouldn't there be three clickers, each using the associated author data?
I see that the tool's supported parameters are not a perfect match with the {{ Citation}} or {{ Cite book}} parameter lists. That's a pretty normal disconnect in my experience, and easy to deal with by editing the copied wikicode.
I see that the tool lives at http://reftag.appspot.com/, but I couldn't find the tool by browsing/searching at http://appspot.com/. (this is my first visit there)

Hi Apoc2400/Archive4!. Every attempt to rescue a Wikipedia article is a noble gesture. However, there may be occasions when, with the best will in the world, it is just not possible to accord even a minimum of notability to an article or stub, or find a proper source for it. Most regrettably, even the most dedicated inclusionists will have to concede that the article may have to go if the creator or major contributors cannot justify their work.
For new and recent unsourced BLPs, some users are now working at
WT:BLP PROD TPL on the development of templates that are designed to encourage contributors to source new BLPs, without scaring away the newbies who might not be aware of the rules. This template is certainly not another a licence to kill for the deletionists, in fact the very idea of it is to ensure that you are not fighting a losing battle. It would be great if you could look in at the prgogress and maybe leave a word of encouragement. The workshop page is essentially a template development taskforce, and is not a place to engage in a hefty debate on incusion/deletion policy. See you at
WT:BLP PROD TPL?--

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

I'll give you the background: I do a bit of work at Wikisource, Commons, and here. The usual practice at source is to obtain a djvu file from archive.org, upload that Commons, create a page in the Index namespace at wikisource, then make a transcription of the page scans in the Page namespace to serve the presentation of the work in that main namespace. There is an overview of the wikisource namespaces at s:Help:Namespace. This involves a lot of copying and fiddling with the bibliographic details at each of these steps.
Here is a example: archive.org to commons to ws Index to ws main. The title, volume, publisher and so on are given at archive.org, but need to be manually copy pasted at each step.
If I cite this document here, then I need to do that again in a citation template. However, if I was citing a google book or another source, I could make use of the autofill function. Would it be possible to use a script to 'autofill' the commons information template, ws Index form, ws header template and, eventually, a cite journal template here by using a single identifier, such as a url, of a (sub-paged) article like s:Folk-Lore.

The citation tool for Google Books is wonderful. Wish I had known about it before today. After checking it out I saw that it does not hyphenate ISBNs, which is preferred in citations. I thought maybe it would be an easy addition to the tool since such hyphenation follows exact rules a program can follow. Alternatively, the tool could maybe run its inquiry past the library of Congress' tool here which is what I use to easily get the proper hypehenation.-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 13:29, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
First of all thanks for this great tool which has been very useful in creating references. I noticed that the tool sometimes creates exact publication dates (including day and month) even though I cannot find them on the google books page. For instance for this book it creates a publication date of "2 November 2007" even though google books only says 2007 as far as I can see. I was wondering where the month/day information comes from. bamse ( talk) 12:32, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
Related to this, I noticed the following bug: for this book, the publication date is initially given as "1 September 2009", but changes to "August 32, 2009" when selecting "md, y" type of formatting ("2009-08-32" for "y-m-d"). bamse ( talk) 12:39, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

I have just looked "{T} Wikipedia citation tool for Google Books" after becoming aware of it by an entry on another user's talk page. Playing around with one of the entries I have been editing today, it seems to be a useful tool. However an improvement I would find most useful is that if there is a page number in the URL that is an option to place the url into the page parameter instead of filling in the URL parameter. eg:
http://books.google.com/books?id=RGqhKmylB4QC&pg=PA31&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=false
passed through your magical code produces:
<ref name="Klímová-Alexander2005">{{cite book|author=Ilona Klímová-Alexander|title=The Romani voice in world politics: the United Nations and non-state actors|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=RGqhKmylB4QC&pg=PA31|accessdate=26 February 2012|year=2005|publisher=Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.|isbn=978-0-7546-4173-5|pages=31–}}</ref>
As an aside why the "pages=31-" and not page=31?
What I would like is:
<ref name="Klímová-Alexander2005">{{cite book|author=Ilona Klímová-Alexander|title=The Romani voice in world politics: the United Nations and non-state actors|accessdate=26 February 2012|year=2005|publisher=Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.|isbn=978-0-7546-4173-5|page=[http://books.google.com/books?id=RGqhKmylB4QC&pg=PA31 31]}}</ref>
which produces
{{
cite book}}
: |access-date=
requires |url=
(
help)Also a less important possible option is to drop the <ref name="Klímová-Alexander2005"></ref>
as I usually use

Credo Reference, who generously donated 400 free Credo 250 research accounts to Wikipedia editors over the past two years, has offered to expand the program to include 100 additional reference resources. Credo wants Wikipedia editors to select which resources they want most. So, we put together a quick survey to do that:
It also asks some basic questions about what you like about the Credo program and what you might want to improve.
At this time only the initial 400 editors have accounts, but even if you do not have an account, you still might want to weigh in on which resources would be most valuable for the community (for example, through WikiProject Resource Exchange).
Also, if you have an account but no longer want to use it, please leave me a note so another editor can take your spot.
If you have any other questions or comments, drop by my talk page or email me at [email protected]. Cheers! Ocaasi t | c 17:07, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi, my congratulations for your Wikipedia citation tool for Google Books. It's very very usefull to me for easy referenciate WP contributions. I usually work in catalan WP and we have catalan version of {{ cite book}} (you can see here). Obviously, we have the "cite book" redirected to this one. However, I'd like to be able to get the results from your tool with catalan version instead the english one. Could it be possible to have a solution to convert your tool in multi-language ? (for instance, selecting language with a combo or similar. If you accept make this improvement, I can give you a translate table of each parameter. Thanks for your answer !.

I provided a suggestion at #User_talk:Apoc2400#Ref_Harv. Thanks for implementing that. It was very helpful. Very recently I used an OCR tool to read some images from Google Books. I believe you know it, still. . . we can not copy paste from Google Books, so many of us manually type shot quotes, excerpts from Google Books which we use under fair use.
There is a process of taking a screenshot of the portion of the Google Book using print screen, snipping tool or browser extension and have it converted to text using OCR tool.
It is a much better process, in manual typing there are lots of chances of typos.
Now could you create an OCR tool for Wikipedia, specially for Google Books? You may add limitation, more than one page will not be converted etc. Possible? Tito☸ Dutta 17:42, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Nucear fission reactor, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from an implausible typo, or other unlikely search term.
Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you believe that there is a reason to keep the redirect, you can request that
administrators wait a while before deleting it. To do this, affix the template {{

The article Women to the Top has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

Hi Apoc2400. I edited your monobook.js to update you to the latest version of TemplateScript.

I am not sure how to completely convey my deep appreciation for your doi to citation generator. I would not be exaggerating if I say I use it every single day to create references for medical articles. This tool increases my productivity to the point where I am the the medical editor with the seventh highest number of edits under both my User names:Barbara (WVS)/Bfpage. I haven't done a thorough 'count' (yet) of medical articles created during the past year but I am fairly sure that I have created more articles than the other medical editors who focus their efforts on copy edits, reverting, and checking my references! Because of your tool, the WikiEd Foundation and the University of Pittsburgh are ecstatic with my affiliation with them and the volume of medical content that has been added to the encyclopedia on Women's Health. What you've created has had a huge impact. I've been wanting to connect with you for some time about this and I am a little sheepish that I have waited this long to express my appreciation. There is no barnstar that could ever adequately convey the positive impact of your tool. Here are a few places where you can see where I have used your tool:
Hi, I just wanted to say that I love your Reftag Tool and use it all the time, and wanted to know if it were possible to do one for WorldCat. One of the great things about WorldCat is that it provides transliterations for foreign-language (foreign-script) books like

Hello! I would like to bring up an issue with the Wikipedia citation tool for Google Books ( http://reftag.appspot.com/). When pasting a secure url from Google books (beginning with https://books.google.com...), the complete reference tag output invariably omits the "s", leading to an unsecured url (http://books.google.com...). Could you tweak the tool to output https? It is not the biggest tissue, as User:Bender the Bot is currently combing through Wikipedia and converting http→https , but since there appears to be a project-wide move to go to HTTP secure, it would save a manual step or two and increase security.

Hey, not sure if it's always been this way, but the tool pulls the full publication date (with month and day) rather than just the year.
