Yeah, that change was done by your robot program!!!! how can a robot tell if an edit is good or bad? It cannot. I spent three hours putting together an update for this wiki article and your damn robot zapped it in a flash. So i un-did what ur robot did. i also made a complaint about this on ur talk page, too, since that is what you said to do.24.243.2.132 (talk)Biggus_Dickus

I've left a comment back at WP:RFUP. I think you've got a misunderstanding. Connormah • talk 23:23, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Your query has been addressed by HJ on WP:RFUP. Connormah • talk 23:35, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

I didn't see anything there except some note from some guy closing off the discussion. So i have no clue as to what went on. thanks, I guess.

Hi, all you need to do is click the '[show]', and it will expand and show the comments. Connormah • talk 23:45, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

okay, I finally figured it out. he says he is using a 'script', which to me sounds a lot like robot, since it is an automated process. I don't know what a script is. But doing hundreds of revisions in minutes hardly sounds like there is much human involvement. But again, I don't know anything about script or robots and the like. Also, I don't even know the best way to talk to you. Do i just respond by typing under what you wrote? Or do i go to your page and try to send you a message? i have been doing both since I don't know what works. thanks again.24.243.2.132 (talk) 23:57, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

It's called Igloo and is perfectly legal. In fact Wikipedia has over 1000 bots roaming the 'pedia. I use it, and so does he. We even have a whole section on bots! Allmightyduck What did I do wrong? 00:03, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Sorry. I did not mean to imply or say that it was illegal. This is my first encounter with something like this. I will have to look into this more and try to find out more. I don't know what 'bots' are or what they do or how they work, or how they help. Maybe there is a wikipedia article on them. lol
