I fixed a bug you never reported :)

rev 9829 introduces Arabic comma when both replaced and removed are used. I need you to test it for me. you need some kind of replacement ("a" → "b") and some kind of removal ("c"→ "") in the F&R. Please test it for both Arabic and English cases. -- Magioladitis (talk) 22:22, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

@Magioladitis: Unfortunately, there seems to be a problem. Using rev 9832 to change "فيلم" to "فلم" and remove "في" gives the following erroneous edit summary: [32] As you can see the removal of "في" is not recorded in the summary and there are two English commas. --Meno25 (talk) 06:57, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
What about rev 9833? -- Magioladitis (talk) 07:29, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
@Magioladitis: [33] The English commas are still there but the removal of "في" was recorded in the summary. --Meno25 (talk) 07:42, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
What about rev 9834? -- Magioladitis (talk) 08:16, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
@Magioladitis: [34] One of the two English commas was localized. The other is still in English. --Meno25 (talk) 08:30, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
What about rev 9835? -- Magioladitis (talk) 12:03, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
@Magioladitis: [35] Nope. The comma is still there. --Meno25 (talk) 12:45, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
Is it complete wrong or it should be Arabic comma there? -- Magioladitis (talk) 12:57, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
What about rev 9836? At least I see now comma -- Magioladitis (talk) 13:00, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
@Magioladitis: [36] Summary is correct when you use only "Find and replace" feature. However, I am using a combination of both "Find and replace" and "Regex typo fixing" features. Find and replace changes "فيلم" to "فلم" and removes "في" while Regex typo fixing changes "أستمرار" to "استمرار" and "إبنه" to "ابنه". The summary is currently "clean up، استبدل: فيلم ← فلم (12)، أزال: في (15), الأخطاء المصححة: أستمرار ← استمرار، إبنه ← ابنه باستخدام أوب (9836)" whereas it should be "clean up، استبدل: فيلم ← فلم (12)، أزال: في (15)، الأخطاء المصححة: أستمرار ← استمرار، إبنه ← ابنه باستخدام أوب (9836)" (Notice the English comma after "(15)".) --Meno25 (talk) 13:15, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
You are very cunning. :) Thanks for your patience. -- Magioladitis (talk) 13:17, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
What about rev 9837? Nobody mentioned combined F&R and TypoFix before. -- Magioladitis (talk) 13:27, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
@Magioladitis: Bingo! Summary is correct on both Arabic and English Wikipedias. [37] [38] Thank you dearly for your effort and sorry for bothering you with so many bug reports. --Meno25 (talk) 13:36, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

Woo! Woo! Finally!!! No bother at all. This was a bug I discovered by myself. I can't wait for the next one. -- Magioladitis (talk) 13:38, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

Could you talk to a person.

I was very tempted to do a 24-hour block on user Yalladar. They are working on Jordanian football pages. They are reverting people. Adding unsourced material. Adding external links wrong. Adding facebook links that don't go to the right people. Just some general mayhem. I don't think they doing it with bad intent. Maybe their English isn't the greatest. Could you talk to them? Their Jordan national football team edits are the most worrisome. They are removing material for unknown reasons then keep reverting people. Bgwhite (talk) 08:58, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

@Bgwhite: I left him a message in Arabic although I believe, based on his contributions, that his English is not bad. Thank you for notifying me. --Meno25 (talk) 12:14, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
Thank you. Whatever you left didn't work. They promptly reverted Jordan national football team for the 7th time this month and 17th time overall. I placed a 48-hour block. Hopefully they will get the message. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bgwhite (talkcontribs)
