Robotic AI or Bot-like Review & Edit?
[edit]Channeling my inner geek: I've noticed your splits and I was wondering if you were a bot or using a robot AI program to update a lot of articles at once upon completion of a programming direction? Just curious. 2601:646:A200:E5B0:3D15:CE1A:E53C:A65B (talk) 18:51, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
- Hiya, I do not have any bots active presently. I use a search-and-replace tool when refining large tables and templates, and have a bunch of blank citations to reuse. If it's to do with my template programming: that's just down to a bit of search-and-replace trickery. MB2437 19:00, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
- Clarifying: So there is programming involved? It's not just single-sourced edits per article. You're using some advanced tool in Wiki to assist in mass updating. I can only do one at a time and am not always sure each update makes sense. I should check these templates out it sounds like. Thx. 2601:646:A200:E5B0:3D15:CE1A:E53C:A65B (talk) 19:14, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
- Which edits in particular? MB2437 19:37, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
- Changing 10 of these in less than one minute {Add national rankings to lead for top 10, MOS:LEAD covers rankings section.} Seemed odd and why I thought you were a bot, then I saw others on your contribs. The placement of the edits didn't seem to have a rhyme or reason but I could see there were links to lists stored elsewhere that backed them up as proof. It was the timing and the breadth at which you could cast the edits that was surprising. I adjusted one but realized it was fine where it was at. You say it's this template thing. I did not see the template thingy as the way to accomplish numerous edits at once. But I was wrong. Still new I am. 2601:646:A200:E5B0:3D15:CE1A:E53C:A65B (talk) 19:48, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
- Ah! So, those edits were entirely manual—only took me about five minutes of copy-and-pasting, replacing the university names and their placement. They were all open in separate tabs so I simply published the edits at the same time. I have a tendency to do that when making several related edits simultaneously and find that it helps my flow by focusing on one part of the task at a time. The template thing is unrelated, that was regarding my programming here. MB2437 19:57, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
- Ican't even imagine being able to do that much without a very keen AI assistant. Pretty cool if you ask me. I'm using a very low-end computer and I know if I had that many tabs open at once to even attempt such a thing as an update en masse it would kill off every single one of my other programs running at the same time. I swear to God something on that scale would be the end of my processing power. Something to aim for I guess. Just need an upgrade right?. ha ha ha 2601:646:A200:E5B0:3D15:CE1A:E53C:A65B (talk) 20:26, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

Antonelli
[edit]How do you feel about Kimi sacrificing his race for George today? Not much of a race… Namelessposter (talk) 16:17, 25 May 2025 (UTC)
- A good old snoozefest! Merc did the best they could within the confines of Williams's gamesmanship.
- They really need to reprofile the Nouvelle Chicane and use the left-turn before Portier to extend the straight. MB2437 16:33, 25 May 2025 (UTC)
- I don’t know how you’d manage to get rid of Loews - even if you built a bypass from Mirabeau Haute to Portier I don’t know if F1 cars could handle the resulting slope. I’d ideally like to keep going straight on Mirabeau Haute and then build a curve through the park on that block at an angle that allows cars to take the roundabout north of Portier at speed and build a little pace going into the tunnel, but I don’t know if that would meaningfully help. I might also extend the tunnel with a canopy before Nouvelle Chicane because the change from dark to light deters adding a second DRS zone, but nobody made much use of the DRS zone that currently exists, so it’s not clear this would be an improvement (plus it might be duplicative of the Nouvelle Chicane). No good answers really. Namelessposter (talk) 17:08, 25 May 2025 (UTC)
- The hairpin has to stay, it's Monaco heritage! There's a building and a cliff-face between Mirabeau Haute and Mirabeau Bas. Rosberg already tried that one! There's already a left turn between Mirabeau Bas and Portier that leads to the roundabout, that would extend the tunnel straight by 70 metres. Not sure why they don't use it, they wouldn't need to do much—if any—work. The big concern with the Nouvelle Chicane is that you cannot fairly overtake there. The kerbs need to be wider and flatter, as does the track itself (moving the entry and exit wall). Ideally there would also be a gravel trap in the runoff to prevent people flying over it and saying "they pushed me off". The whole area needs reprofiling. MB2437 17:40, 25 May 2025 (UTC)
- Oh, so that's what you mean by left turn, I thought you meant "the left turn on the track before Portier" (i.e. the hairpin). Sorry!
- I don't mind the Nouvelle Chicane idea but I honestly do not know if it is possible to make Monaco good; everything we've discussed is trying to make it less bad. Every year the go-kart race idea seems more appealing. Namelessposter (talk) 17:53, 25 May 2025 (UTC)
- Oh yeah, I don't think it would make it a great track by any stretch, but I support any idea to improve the racing while keeping its integrity. F1 wouldn't be the same without Monaco. MB2437 18:09, 25 May 2025 (UTC)
