[edit] Overview
The list below shows articles which contain repeated common words. It was generated on 8th June 2005 from the 16th May 2005 database dump.
[edit] Preamble
It is very easy to accidentally repeat certain words in English, particular prepositions like 'the' and 'of'. While there may be a good reason for for the articles below to contain such repeated words, it's likely that it's a mistake. Edit and correct the articles.
[edit] Regenerating this report
This report is generated from a Link Analysis Database using the SQL:
SELECT concat( '*[[', art_title, ']]' ) FROM art where art_text REGEXP '[[:<:]]the the[[:>:]]' order by art_title;
The above only searches for repeated the's - replace "the the" with "but but" or whatever else you want to check for.
[edit] Suggested improvements
- Many more common word combinations to check - do these each need their own list? - TB 09:45, Jun 9, 2004 (UTC)
