recitation-bot

Pronounced as in "recitation" (reh-sih-tay-shun) or "re-citation" (ree-sigh-tay-shun).

To create clear signals of "open access"ness in Wikipedia references, when triggered, this MediaWiki bot uploads permissible cited content to relevant Wikimedia projects and updates corresponding citations on Wikipedia. Intended to replace citation-bot, with a focus on DOIs and Open Access scholarly literature.

Read more at tha Signalling OA-ness page under WikiProject Open Access on the English language Wikipedia.

  • journal_article.py is the consumer that deals with converting and uploading articles
  • detect_in_use_dois.py is a producer that queries the sql replicas to find new dois to append to the end of the dequeue
  • jump_the_queue.py is a producer that is a webserver that takes immediate requests that go on the front of the dequeue

To Launch

  • login in to wikimedia tools labs
  • become recitation-bot

Troubleshooting


EOFError on commons.login()


delete the cookie pywikibot.lwp in the ~/.pywikibot folder. then run something like source env/bin/activate import pywikibot commons = pywikibot.Site('commons','commons') commons.login() enws = pywikibot.Site('en','wikisource') enws.login()

and you should get a new cookie that will work. you might have gotten logged out for a number of reasons including the bot being blocked.
