User:NrhpBot

Overview

 * This bot is used for NRHP data mining from the NPS databases for article stubbing and cleaning.
 * It is written in C, the code is open sourced.
 * Its queries and data reads are automated, article creation will be semi automated after review of potential existing articles or matches. I intend to go a state at a time, starting with Ohio.
 * The bot will be running until hopefully all of the notable articles are stubbed, and will run after that on a much more diminished scale as the NRHP database listings are changed, added or removed.

Current Bot Function
There are two parts to the stubbing process, a semi automated / manual review of existing potential matches for the article.

Scan for Potential Existing Articles
The bot scans Wikipedia for articles containing:
 * The NRHP infobox and a matching refnum
 * The same title (original and clean) or some geographic variation:
 * Name
 * Name (City)
 * Name (State)
 * Name, City
 * Name, City, State

Some other searches I originally had but ended up getting too many matches to be usable included:
 * Significant Person Names
 * Architect
 * Other Names from the NRHP database

Automated Stubbing

 * 1) Create the main page
 * 2) Create a page at "Name (City, State)" or if a vicinity address, "Name (State)"
 * 3) Add WikiProject|class=stub and Reqphotoin templates to talk page
 * 4) Add to User:Paultyng's watch list
 * 5) Update the local database with the new article ID
 * 6) Create a redirect
 * 7) If a page at "Name" does not exist, create a redirect
 * 8) Add Wikiproject|class=redirect to redirect page talk
 * 9) Log the result of this row

Ohio
