Reversion

Your bot keeps reverting my edits to the article Big Time which has large amounts of repeated material and is really needs to be fixedBauerPower 03:44, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

See here. My bot only reverted the IP twice. Some other user did the other times. It tends to reverted massive deletions by very new users. Voice-of-All 18:13, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

please stop

do not revert my addition of reference - whoever is in control of this bot, please note it works imporperly! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rimerimea (talk • contribs) 01:03, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That was a youtube link, one that should best be avoided. Voice-of-All 18:34, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong Reversion

[This http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=OSx86&diff=159287056&oldid=159287021] edit being reverted due to the information reason does not seem to me to be any FaceBook, MySpace style junk and was a legitimate link to be made. Is this not so? If it's a bad link to make I'd like to know why (so I don't ever do anything similar) and if it wasn't then perhaps your regexps should be more restrictive and restrict to facebook, etc rather than /forum/... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.109.14.24 (talk) 06:35, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Possible sockpuppet

For User:PANONIAN's query [1] your answer was "possible". Could you please clarify which one of us is a possible sockpuppet of VinceB? Thank you. --Koppany 10:46, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

voabot II

Hi, I reverted this:[2] revert of the bot. The edit seems to be legit. According to Bozaci's edit history s/he once blanked a page, but it was to move the page after a successful survey for the move. Certainly that wasn't necessary, but it wasn't vandalism either. Do we have a blacklist of vandals used by this bot? DenizTC 03:48, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Javascript/Template question

I thought you might have an answer to this. Is there a template that I can use that when placed on a page converts into the articles name? for instance if I put {{Page}}(an example) it would automatically convert into the name of the article which it's placed on? Does such a thing exist? If not, What javascript would be required to make such a script possible to create such a template? Wikidudeman (talk) 19:38, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bot mistake

Possible Improvement

Have a look at the bot's handling of Rashomon vandalism today. I suspect it was fooled by multiple changes within several minutes. Jok2000 19:24, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

David Irving

I do not know why you are reverting this [4], but I would like for this edit to be restored. The word "yet" is not necessary in that sentence. 209.99.108.22 19:40, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RE:Admin Misuse of Powers

I would like to bring to your attention of admin User:Dmcdevit. I have did a usercheck here and here. The case was thrown out by admin Mcdevit without even looking into the matter. Not too long ago, he has confirmed that Sarvagnya/Gnanapiti are sockpuppets here and a couple of months later he let them off the hook here under the condition that both usernames are not used to edit the same article which they have notoriously have ever since. I am taking this as favoritism and abuse of powers on his part. Please advice me what I should do. Furthermore, I am now being harassed on my talk page by users Amarrg here, KNM here, Sarvagnya here, and Dineshkannambadi here. Please advise me as what I should do. Thank you. Wiki Raja 04:09, 13 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Duplicate warnings

The bot was beaten to a revert by ClueBot, but still issued this warning [5]. So the vandal was warned twice for the same offence. Philip Trueman 18:38, 13 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Odd bot mistake

[This edit http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jack_the_Ripper&diff=157444850&oldid=157444730] does undo vandalism but for some odd reason screws up code on a link later on in the article where no vandalism or editing had happened. 71.203.223.65 22:11, 13 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Melbourne_Cricket_Ground&diff=157847170&oldid=157847048 Another example of the same mistake. Easel3 14:25, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]


It says I vandalised the Isaac Newton page, which is bullshit. I capitalised the first letter of a sentence! It seems as though something is rotten in the state of Denmark. 144.137.208.98 20:04, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's this diff that the user is talking about. And I'd also like to know the reasoning behind that revert -- as it makes no sense to me either. Gscshoyru 20:09, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
According to the bot's reasons page it was reverted because of "Vandal comment - The edit had vandalism or email addresses, Facebook, or MySpace links in the summary." - Methinks the regexes it uses are probably a bit too sensitive. Mr.Z-man 20:13, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, made it more specific. Voice-of-All 22:53, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

VoABot went a bit crazy

Hi Voice of All, your bot went a bit funny on WP:CHU/U before, see this: [6]. It said "Archiving 0 completed requests" then archived the most recently submitted request. Just thought I'd bring this to your attention for the purposes of debugging. Thanks. --Deskana (talky) 10:21, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Alex/cashies

For some reason your bot created this page Alex/cashies (probably deleted by now) and posted a warning there. Just letting you know as it could be a bug. --Hdt83 Chat 07:11, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind, appears that the user moved his talk page there. --Hdt83 Chat 07:12, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fix it or Kill it

the stupid bot is taking off my source. - Iosis 09:30, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Common problem

This bot commonly reverts only one of multiple IP vandalism edits. For example, diff shows the bot reverting one of two vandalism edits from the same IP. This cause the vandalism to remain on the page for several days, since the last edit on my watchlist looked trustworthy. Would it be possible for the bot to be set to revert all of an IP's edits to a page if it recognizes one of a set of contiguous edits as vandalism? Tim Vickers 16:11, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

More Attention

Please more attention, if you work with youre Bot. [7] was ab big mistake. Marcus Cyron 17:54, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Big Brother 8 Highlights

Just so you know, on the Big Brother 8 (US) highlights page, the bot reverted a revert to a proper version, and deemed it vandalism. --Tyman 101 02:08, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Talkpage comments

It use to be that personal attacks or especially uncivil comments were reverted on policy... is this no longer policy? Perspicacite 03:52, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It never was...WP:NPA discourages them, and users making disruptive comments can be blocked. Libel/personal info can be deleted, but being "rude" does not warrant deletion. In fact censoring/deleting comments people think are rude often leads to much more frustration and sometimes misunderstandings. It's not really worth it. Voice-of-All 03:55, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Turkey

Hi, the bot has reverted me twice in an effort to clean up Turkey. I am reducing the article in size by about 10k and I think that's tripping things up. The last dif is here: [8] Any chance we can get that squared away? Thanks! Hiberniantears 16:52, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bot False Alarm

I was reverting to a previous edit on a page arab diaspora that wasn't copyright infringed, but i did remove a lot of text, so i kind of was my fault. will this affect my "record" with wikipedia at all. I don't want them to block me. Bensci54 23:47, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My Previous Edits to "KCBS-TV" article

Hello. A look at the article's history shows that I have considerably expanded this article. I wish to delete my expansions and revert the article back to a former version. Though I believe that my contributions are scrupulously accurate and verifiable, and written to meet Wikipedia standards, I think the article is lacking in citation and sourcing--and perhaps overly long. I want to remove my expansions and let others who may be better able to provide sourcing take a crack at adding material. My new downsized version includes edits that other Wikipedians have made in the interim. Please do not consider my removal of text vandalism or the result of any destructive or unfriendly motive; I simply would be more comfortable doing this. I am a relatively new member, and I wish to do things properly. Thank you for your consideration. 76.103.43.63 07:31, 21 September 2007 (UTC)76.103.63.43[reply]

Sock puppetry

In Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Pastorwayne which you've recently closed, (a) do you automatically check the ips against all the other cited potential socks (eg OfficePuter) and (b) would the ips be consistent with the user PW (based in Ohio) travelling locally to use a different computer? (Eg a friend's or one in a library/college.) -- roundhouse0 10:17, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

An external link to a youtube video in leeches, by an anonymous IP, was removed by the bot. I gather that's as intended; it said "(BOT - Reverted edits by 71.182.123.65 {information} to revision #159685205 by 'VoABot II.')" and the "information" reason says "The edit was identified as adding addresses, phone numbers, MySpace, Facebook, Geocities, YouTube, FreeWebs or other such pages. Note that older users will be allowed to add these." If that's a policy, can you point me to it? I've made an effort at finding it, but likely sources such as WP:External_Links, WP:POLICY, Wikipedia:Who_writes_Wikipedia don't seem to mention age or anonymous IP restrictions. I think it would be useful to include in the explanation page. Even more helpful would be if the bot included a bit more explanation in the change log itself, to reduce the need for editors to visit the VoABot page to understand the rationale, but I realize there's a space issue. Keep up the good work! :-) -Agyle 23:08, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The thing is that a very small portion of the time, such facebook/myspace links are OK. New users almost never add such (and the bot does allow ones that say "official"). Older users are more likely to be aware of link policy and not add them. If they are, it may be one of the few rare times it's OK. Voice-of-All 17:41, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The explanation says "The edit was identified as adding addresses, phone numbers, MySpace, Facebook, Geocities, YouTube, FreeWebs or other such pages. Note that older users will be allowed to add these." The way I interpreted that is that younger users are not allowed to add YouTube links. I would like to know what the criteria are. For example, what was the rationale for removing the Youtube video on asian mountain leeches? Is it that anonymous IPs aren't allowed to add Youtube links? If so, what's the rationale for that? By older users, does it mean older-aged users as opposed to children, or accounts that have been around for a certain duration? I don't care about the video link in question, but I don't understand the rationale here. Thanks. -Agyle 20:49, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Age as in account age/edits. Voice-of-All 21:00, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
So no anons. Content in the target link isn't a factor, either human- or bot-checked? How long does an account need to exist to be allowed to post Youtube links? -Agyle 00:13, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

unjustified revert by VoAbot

Hey, I edit the human height page from time to time, just making sure the statistics are accurate (agree with verifiable sources) etc and I find new sources and put them in. The problem that we have been having on this page is a user previously known as unfreeride - but now known as any number of sock puppets - keeps POV pushing by making lengthy edits about comparative Asian shortness being due to among other things - skin whiteners and soy milk, the links this user provides don't go as far as saying that so it's really original edit and extremely persistent POV pushing.

Unfreeride has been banned a number of times and is pretty infamous on a few different pages here on wikipedia eg human height, race and intelligence, asian stereotypes etc.

Unfreeride has said that northern chinese are the tallest and most intelligent race etc.

I'm only giving you this background because Unfreeride's edit (as in word for word what it was before he was banned a couple of times before) has reappeared and this was what I deleted when your bot reverted my edit.

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:220.253.76.54&redirect=no

You can see here that Maroug, another use of the human height page was quick to back me up and revert the bots revert, but I'd like it if this didn't happen again - thanks.

I'm among a few people trying to deal with a very persistent troll - POV pushing, assuming bad faith, original research and sock puppetry. If you'd like to do me a favor then watch the race and height section. Thanks alot.

Thank you

Twin

I went to the request for protection page to ask for full protection for the Twin article but when I search my keyboard for the vertical line that seems to be required I do not find it. Can you please instruct me as to how I proceed from here ? My reason for requesting full protection is that it is being vandalized far too frequently by more than one IP address.

"restricted changes"

I seem to be in an edit war with you or your bot. It's done this [10] twice, explaining "Restricted changes - Either A) the edit was identified as being consensus rejected edits of a banned user or B) the edit was identified as changing too much text at once for a shared IP/very new user on a page that banned users tend to attack." I am neither banned nor a new editor of this page. Please revert yourself. Andyvphil 10:26, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reporting to AIV?

Your bot didn't report to AIV? Special:Contributions/71.112.238.91 vandalized an article after being given a final warning and VOA bot reverted but did not report to AIV, instead it gave out another warning. The vandal continued for another 5 times with VOA reverting each of them before another user reported manually to AIV. What happened? --Hdt83 Chat 08:22, 6 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

User:Venki123

Hi, I noticed you indef'd User:Sriramwins as a sock of Venki123. I was wondering if you could have a look at User:Saedirof. I'm not familiar enough with the situation to recognize a sock here, but there are a couple of things that Saedirof is doing at Mudaliar that makes me a bit suspicious this is another sock. If you are more familiar with the situation, could you have a look and let me know what you think (either at my talkpage or via email)? Thanks.--Isotope23 talk 17:09, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

IP Checkuser on Starwars1955

I suspected those last 3 were different people and SW was just trying to make his latest sock look legit by tagging others as "socks" of his original account (that's why I seperated them out).

I use a lot of different browsers (IE Explorer, Netscape Navigator, Konqueror) and on IE Explorer and Konqueror it is very slow. On Netscape it bombs.

Your revert to Dick Latvala

The "Controversy" section of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Latvala had been unedited since September 1, 2006. On October 3, 2007, someone edited that to remove the cited links from Google Groups and added a personal POV. I reverted that edit to the previous version and your bot reverted my reversion as vandalism. I suspect your bot accidentally considered my reversion "vandalism" as the reversion includes a quote from Dick Latvala which includes several profanities. Please unrevert your bot's changes and edit the comment on my talk page that falsely accuses me of vandalism. Thank you. 68.45.106.216 20:05, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

bot revert

Hi - Can you look at this edit? The bot reverted one of three consecutive deletions from the article by the same IP. Seems like it could perhaps have reverted to the last non-delete (sort of what an admin rollback would have done). This is not a real big deal, but suggests a sufficiently clever vandal can defeat the bot. -- Rick Block (talk) 03:14, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

VoABot II revert of Tea

The bot did this revert saying back to revision #165010108 by "B. Jennings Perry", but it's over 5k chars short, as show by this compare. It's one big chunk missing, plus one other char in a second place. Seems there's a bug around. (I've corrected the article.) -R. S. Shaw 09:21, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

p.s. A further look suggests it might be a concurrency problem. This edit by the vandal happened around the same time, and almost matches the missing text. It's close to what might happen if, for revisions A, A+B, A+B+C the bot tried to do (A+B)-B but actually did (A+B+C)-B. -R. S. Shaw 09:38, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
All the bot does is load the revision and save it. I wonder if it is an automerge problem. Maybe the time tokens should be manually set or something... Voice-of-All 19:22, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
This stuff is often mysterious. A thought: do you know how the bot and the mediawiki handle the case where there is an edit conflict? If the current version is A+B, which the bot references(or fetches or something) but before the bot's submittal (back to the image of version A) becomes effective another user submits another update (version A+B+C), then that's an edit conflict. In the human GUI, this comes back to the user for inspection/resubmittal, but I don't know about whatever interface the bot is dealing with. If the mediawiki sw offered a "auto-merge" draft of its own devising, that draft might look like the (A+B+C)-B version which is approximately what was seen. I don't really expect this glitch to provide enough data to be able to uncover the bug, but it's something to be mulled if similar instances crop up. -R. S. Shaw 06:43, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ignoring previous warnings

If you look at User talk:204.39.82.41 you will see three "last warnings" in four days, 15-18 October, and then further vandalism the same day met only by a polite "consider using the sandbox" from VoABot, which was of course followed by further vandalism. I worry that "last warning" does not mean what it says, and threats not implemented are soon ignored. Could VoABot not look at the previous warning record? If the last warning is recent the Bot should not issue a lower level one. In particular if, as in this case, there is an immediately preceding Last Warning, the Bot should do an AIV report. - JohnCD 16:22, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I hear you're good with scripts...

Hi, I'm trying to help out User:Angel David, he's had a RfC filed about his excessive userspace counts. I was trying to help him out along with Neriani, by letting him make one userspace edit to 50 mainspace ones. I've gotten this far, but there are kinks, and you being on Wikiproject Scripts, I was hoping you could help him. 

function blockEdit() {
	if( wgNamespaceNumber == 2 ) {
      alert ("You may not edit this articlespace"). Bye!");
      window.location.href = ("http://"+document.location.host+"/w/index.php?title=Special:Userlogout&returnto=Main_Page");
	}
}

The previous would work, but he wouldn't be allowed to make any userspace edits. 

function a() {
	if( wgNamespaceNumber == 2 ) {

<!-- Here -->
}

function initPage() {
	var expireDate = new Date();
	expireDate.setMonth(expireDate.getMonth()+1);

I'd rather the user use self-control rather than make a somewhat ridiculous script just to do this :) Voice-of-All 16:02, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WP:RCU

Hello Voice of All, I see you are a checkuser, and would like to ask for your experience in a small, but nonetheless, important case. Please see here for details. Thanks, Rudget Contributions 13:59, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

VoaBot did not fully revert

I just discovered that VoaBot did not fully revert some vandalism [11]. It's the first time I have seen this happen. If it was some kind of glitch you might want to check it out. I'd be curious to hear the explanation. Sbowers3 18:19, 27 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Quick question

Hey Voice of All! I was wondering if you could help me a bit :) I know that you are a good programmer, and figured you'd be the person to ask my question to. I'm creating a bot that archives threads on ANI that are marked with the {{resolved}} template. I have the source code below, written in Python with the Pywikipedia framework, and any tips or fixes would be appreciated. Thanks! ( arky ) 00:00, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Compare contribs

The compare contribs functionality of your JS tools does not seem to be working for me. Is it broken or just me? Mr.Z-man 03:38, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Should be fixed now. Voice-of-All 17:11, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bot malfunctioning

VoABot archiving

The Bot is archiving this month's unsuccessful WP:CHU requests to Wikipedia:Changing username/Unfulfilled/2007/Novemeber instead of "November". Could you fix it when you have a sec? Cheers, WjBscribe 05:10, 3 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Opps, fixed. Voice-of-All 06:11, 3 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RfCu

Would you mind looking into this: Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/LossIsNotMore#LossIsNotMore - 6, I think a huge mistake has been made, and if not rectified, means that a long time banned user is going to have free reign again.

There were just too many similarities between the behavior and interestes of the accounts, and the final disposition does not clear much up. Thanks. Torturous Devastating Cudgel 13:57, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A quick question

I bow to you, JavaScript guru. I wonder if it's a simple thing for you to explain to me (or provide a link) how I might add a new link to the menu items at the very top of my Wikipedia screen? (Where it says "Scartol/my talk/my prefs/etc".) Thanks in advance. – Scartol · Talk 02:23, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If a human did that, they would be blocked. To be honest, I don't see why you should be treated any differently, just because you're running a computer program through a separate account. I will be asking for it to be blocked if that continues to happen – Gurch 19:55, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I was wondering what was up with that edit too. (Sorry if you already responded to Gurch, I couldn't find a reply on his talk page, though.) Rocket000 20:37, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I've already changed it so that diff doesn't trigger a revert anymore. Voice-of-All 20:39, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you have a minute...

This was posted at WP:ANI but it has slipped through the cracks. See: This WP:ANI report here Since you have some familiarity with User:SEGA, I was hoping you could take a quick look and provide some comment/assistance on it. Thanks. 156.34.209.0 04:16, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

PPG Industries...Terms

I've been trying to add terms to PPG Industries' page. Several times I've tried to add the data, it's been kicked off. What can I do to add this information? I'm doing it for them, they are my client. Thank you.

It's been reverted by a user as a copyvio, so I can't help much there. Voice-of-All 18:47, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

user talk header format

I'm generally happy with VoABot II. However, the headings it places on user talk pages when issuing a warning message doesn't meld with the apparent convention used by Popups , Twinkle, Cluebot, etc. Undoubtedly you are aware that is a monthly section for each batch of warnings in 

== monthname year ==
while VoABot II uses
 ==Regarding your edits to [[:article name]]:==

Usually this isn't much of an issue, but here it confused the level of warning to choose for a vandal. Any chance VoABot II could honor (and merge with) the convention? —EncMstr 18:48, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Broken bot reversions

I noticed this bot twice reverted valid content here and here, and placed a rather unhelpful warning on the editor's talk page here. The editor was making a good faith expansion to the article by clicking on the "External links" editing link and then inserting text above the "External links" header. The bot should provide the specific reason for reversion (not a list of possible reasons) so that new editors will know what went wrong. -Amatulic 22:55, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just so you know...

...There was vandalism on your talkpage, it has now been reverted.--Sunny910910 (talk|Contributions) 02:23, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bot reversions minor?

Bot is marking the reversions as minor (example), and I don't see why. If it has any algorithm of qualifying reverts as minor, it is malfunctioning. As a matter of principle, I think reverts should not be marked minor. --Kubanczyk 14:55, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure on this. The idea of reverts is that "I just removed some vandalism, nothing to see here, move along" rather than reverting/making a large good faith change. This is why admin rollbacks are marked as minor. Voice-of-All 22:59, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. A minor edit is something that doesn't substantively change the content of the article from what the article editors intended. Restoring a vandalized page doesn't change the original content. -Amatulic 23:06, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oh silly me, I was unaware that this bot never makes mistakes. By definition everything reverted by the bot is vandalism. Very well, "nothing to see here, move along". --Kubanczyk 20:21, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent bot

What a good bot! I have encountered it many times today, while I have been on vandalism patrol. Cula 16:20, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

bad revert

Your Bot reverted an edit to the crash bandicoot series article that was'nt vandilisim. What happend is that a section about the pop cultare refrences about the series had a trivia tag but it was'nt. It obviuosoly is'nt trivia. Thank You.88.110.209.106 18:35, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find any edits by the bot to that page recently (the last few months). If there are any they'd be really old. Voice-of-All 23:01, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

incorrect identification of vandalism to article Alcoholics Anonymous

Reverted edit in the Eschalon:_Book_I article

I don't see why the link to the teaser trailer of Eschalon, along with the link to the Official forums of Basilisk Games was removed from the Eschalon:_Book_I article, as they are completely relevant to the article at hand. Could you please undo the changes that you did, and if you cannot, could you please explain either in my personal discussion page, or the Eschalon:_Book_I discussion page what I have to do. I'm new to Wikipedia, and I hope we can resolve this in a timely manner. Thank you. (Learner Jedi 12:12, 11 November 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Can you find an official teaser link or game site link. YouTube really is not the best place for decent/stable links. Voice-of-All 18:37, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I found a more suitable, stable link for the teaser trailer and have updated the article. Thank you. (Learner Jedi 21:36, 11 November 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Hey!

Hello, your bot, User:VoABot_II isn't marking its edits with b for bot like all the other bots do, should it? PhilB ~ T/C 20:36, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, that would mean they would be hidden from RC by default. Anti-vandal bots need to be watched over, so that shouldn't be the case. Voice-of-All 20:40, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Ahh cleavvver, that makes sense! Thanks PhilB ~ T/C 20:42, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Death Note revert

May not be worth pointing out, but someone added the same word a few hundred times to Death Note, an ip reverted it, and your bot reverted it back to the vandalized version. Doceirias 22:21, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A somewhat strange case

I'm sorry for asking here, but I didn't want to make a mess with the checkuser. I'm asking you, cause you closed the case I'm referring to. What should I do if a certain sockpuppeteer has created tons of accounts to push POV in an article and lately a new account with which he edits the articles falling into the area of interest of the original sockpuppets (and to the sockpuppeteer in some cases) and who within a few days started pushing the same POV on the very same article he started with. Should all these be added to the case? And should they be with one and the same code letter. Sorry if I'm killing your time for nonsense, but I'm really not confident when it comes to requesting a checkuser. --Laveol T 23:57, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
