Thank you very much for taking the time and effort to review my work! Your advice and feedback have been incredibly helpful. If there's anything I can assist you with, please feel free to let me know. Wishing you an enjoyable experience on Wikipedia! Fbgpwns5277 (talk) 09:18, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

:Of course :) we just need more writers on Korean history so just keep doing your thing. If you wanna tackle high/top importance articles that may be nice, but whatever you write will be appreciated. E.g. Yi Sun-sin needs a lot of work. {{cl|Top-importance Korea-related articles}} and {{cl|High-importance Korea-related articles}} grapesurgeon (seefooddiet) (talk) 16:43, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

:W/r/t the file name, that edit was made through WP:AWB; there's unfortunately no way to preview rendered output in AWB. I appreciate you catching the error. While using AWB, my script sometimes makes hundreds of changes on a single page, so it's often easy for me to miss single mistakes like that. But my success rate is very high; I've made probably tens of thousands of AWB edits and have only gotten maybe 5 comments pointing out mistakes. grapesurgeon (seefooddiet) (talk) 06:11, 29 May 2025 (UTC)

::There is in fact a Preview button in AWB. Anyway, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lee_Seok-hyun_(politician)&diff=prev&oldid=1292830529 here's another broken diff] I've fixed. Izno (talk) 07:05, 29 May 2025 (UTC)

:::I appreciate the fix. And my mistake on the preview button. grapesurgeon (seefooddiet) (talk) 14:28, 29 May 2025 (UTC)

::::Hi there, just wanted to chime into this conversation to note that I've reverted another instance of breaking an image by altering the file name on Woo Sang-ho (politician). Please be sure that you are checking to make sure you haven't broken any file names when doing copyedits, even if it means going back in manually and fixing it after an AWB edit. Thanks for all your hard work with copyediting that article! Katniss May the odds be ever in your favor ♥ 14:18, 30 May 2025 (UTC)

:@Sumanuil I think the duplicate message is a bit much. I can take a hint. I'll try to rework my script to take into account file names. grapesurgeon (seefooddiet) (talk) 07:05, 31 May 2025 (UTC)

:I think I should have fixed it. Now every line of code checks if it's within a file name. Thanks for giving me the motivation to fix it. grapesurgeon (seefooddiet) (talk) 07:24, 31 May 2025 (UTC)

Just so you know, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ban_Hyo-jung&diff=prev&oldid=1293437521 this AWB edit] did not correctly result in using the {{tl|Korean}} template. Duckmather (talk) 05:29, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

:Got it, thanks for the fix. grapesurgeon (seefooddiet) (talk) 05:30, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

:Note that that was a manual adjustment that I had made to the edit and made a typo on; my script doesn't have possibility of that error. grapesurgeon (seefooddiet) (talk) 05:31, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

I think you reported me as a sock, I don't speak english very well and I thought hangul is spelled "h-a-n-g-e-u-l", because in korean is "한글", I don't know what is a sock, but I correct the image description. I'm sorry. Brc77 (talk) 22:12, 6 June 2025 (UTC)

:See WP:SOCK for explanation of what it means. In short, it means I was suspicious that maybe you are another user that was possibly blocked in the past that has returned on a new account. I'm not 100% sure if you are, so admins may check your account to confirm. grapesurgeon (seefooddiet) (talk) 00:21, 7 June 2025 (UTC)

::Is my fisrt time with a acount, so I don't. Right? Brc77 (talk) 01:17, 7 June 2025 (UTC)

:::Admins will confirm. If I'm wrong I apologize, but too many people lie and try to hide that they've been blocked before. grapesurgeon (seefooddiet) (talk) 01:20, 7 June 2025 (UTC)

:Happy to do it :) hope you continue editing Wikipedia! grapesurgeon (seefooddiet) (talk) 00:39, 10 June 2025 (UTC)

Hi grapesurgeon, I noticed you made some helpful edits on some earlier articles I wrote about South Korean professional golfers and I was wondering if you could lend a hand?

I've made a few more for the Women in Red project, and as you were so great correcting the Korean text, I was wondering if you could check these new ones for any mistakes with the translations? I'd really appreciate it.

The articles are Lee So-mi, Kim Su-ji (golfer), Hwang You-min, and Yoo Hyun-jo.

Many thanks Nayyn (talk) 22:09, 15 June 2025 (UTC)

:Nice work! Only notable thing I saw is use of Maeil Business Newspaper's English articles; those articles were translated using unvetted machine translation, and are thus unreliable. See WP:KO/RS for more. grapesurgeon (seefooddiet) (talk) 22:13, 15 June 2025 (UTC)

::Many thanks for your help here!! 😃 I'm glad I can give a page to these ladies Nayyn (talk) 08:53, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

::File:WikiThanks.png Thank you for your assistance with those pages! Will keep an eye on WP:KO/RS Nayyn (talk) 21:13, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

:::Thanks for writing them :) grapesurgeon (seefooddiet) (talk) 22:23, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

Edits that you made to infoboxes on many Korea-related pages caused Linter errors. They needed to be reverted. You are welcome to try again; check Page information after a single edit to see if you introduced Linter errors. I am available to help if you get stuck. – Jonesey95 (talk) 13:27, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

:Roughly how many have been reverted? Looking at several thousand edits in my edit history I'm not spotting anything grapesurgeon (seefooddiet) (talk) 13:42, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

:I spotted Jinhan confederacy; I see that there's apparently [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:LintErrors&wpNamespaceRestrictions=0&titlesearch=Jinhan+confederacy&exactmatch=1 linter errors] in the infobox country, but can't tell why. Every open bracket has been closed. Maybe an issue in the infobox itself? grapesurgeon (seefooddiet) (talk) 13:52, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

::I reverted about 20 articles. The problem comes from putting Infobox Korean name/auto inside {{para|footnotes}}. That parameter opens a div tag in one table cell and closes it in a different table cell. You can see the results if you put the whole Infobox country section in Special:ExpandTemplates. (P.S. You can ignore the night mode and duplicate ID Linter errors.)– Jonesey95 (talk) 13:58, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

:::Ah yeah you're right. I was just about to post comment with same conclusion. For others reading, I had made these edits 100% manually; no AWB. This was just a misunderstanding on my part about how {{tl|Infobox country}} works.

:::To address this, I may request that an additional parameter {{para|module}} get added to Infobox country. Then I'll reattempt these edits.

:::Thanks for bringing this to my attention. grapesurgeon (seefooddiet) (talk) 14:01, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

::::I had the same thought. See User:Grapesurgeon/sandbox. No Linter errors. If the {{para|module}} parameter is added, you should be able to revert my reverts and change {{para|footnotes}} to {{para|module}} in each article. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:06, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

:::::Ah yeah nice. Should I go ahead and request the edit to the template? It seems like you're a template editor; are you willing to edit it while we're at it? grapesurgeon (seefooddiet) (talk) 14:10, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

::::::I recommend that you request that edit and explain why it is needed. You might check the template talk page to see if there has been a previous discussion. If there are no objections, I will implement the change. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:15, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

:::::::Ok, will do grapesurgeon (seefooddiet) (talk) 14:15, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

Can you please create Module:Ko-translit/data/sandbox? I need to do something. 172.56.232.142 (talk) 12:09, 20 June 2025 (UTC)

:Done grapesurgeon (seefooddiet) (talk) 12:10, 20 June 2025 (UTC)

::Now, can you please perform the following changes?

::# Replace the text in Module:Ko-translit/data with the text in Module:Ko-translit/data/sandbox.

::# Replace the text in Module:Ko-translit with the text in Module:Ko-translit/sandbox, except the line that says local m_data = require('Module:Ko-translit/data').

::172.56.232.142 (talk) 13:20, 20 June 2025 (UTC)

:::Sorry for bothering you, but can you please take care of this first? I need to update the documentation and go to other wikis that copied the module. 172.56.232.142 (talk) 20:51, 20 June 2025 (UTC)

::::Oh sorry. Slipped my mind will do now. Was out until just now grapesurgeon (seefooddiet) (talk) 20:51, 20 June 2025 (UTC)

I guess I missed one. How odd that once you remove a template, people verify sources, but when it's attached, nobody looks. Thanks for catching that! Dillard421♂♂ ^{(talk to me)} 16:29, 24 June 2025 (UTC)

:No worries; I put the template there originally and knew about the unreliable sources. They're almost entirely gone now (there's one disney-related source that's classified unreliable left).

:You should install User:Novem Linguae/Scripts/CiteHighlighter; makes unreliable easier to spot grapesurgeon (seefooddiet) (talk) 16:33, 24 June 2025 (UTC)

::I will do that now! I'm always down for reliable tools! I was just reading your user page. We both use AWB! I've been a Wikipedia user for, gosh, I think 15 years, haha It's always nice to meet an older user, such as me. Dillard421♂♂ ^{(talk to me)} 16:44, 24 June 2025 (UTC)
