User talk:XLinkBot

Administrators: if this bot is malfunctioning, try changing its settings. It can also be shut off there in a server friendly way.

This is the talkpage of XLinkBot (formerly SquelchBot), a bot designed to revert spamming, or other edits that introduce external links which do not comply with our external links guideline, or with the policy 'What wikipedia is not' (not a repository of links section). Please leave new comments here by clicking this link If your additions were reverted by XLinkBot, please take time to review our external links & spam guidelines, and take note that Wikipedia is not a repository of links, a directory, nor a place to promote your own work. If you feel your addition was within those policies and guidelines and are Reliable and Verifiable, and do not violate Copyright, you may undo the changes made by XLinkBot. Questions are welcome, however this talk page is for civil discussion and is not a complaints department.

FAQs: Why is my external link addition reverted? Why did the bot revert all my edits, and not only the one where I added an external link?

AIV

The bot made a report to AIV, and then most of its comments were removed. I can't find where they were even deleted. [1] I don't even see the edit in the history. Enigma^msg 20:04, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

Hmm, I don't think it was XLinkBot, then - these are the edits on the 10th (when you reported it): https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrator_intervention_against_vandalism/TB2&offset=20140311000000&action=history .. can you point out in which revid things were wrong? --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 11:54, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

False postive on "(http://userbase.kde.org/KJots [\buserbase\.kde\.org\b]))"

Hello, I edited the Kontact page and added a link to the kde userbase (http://userbase.kde.org/), which was reverted by the bot. I undo-ed the bot edit, so it should be fine now. But please refine the scripts int that matter. Wikiinger (talk) 14:08, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

Meh, I don't think those links should be there. This is a wiki, not the official site of the software. --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 11:51, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format. — {{U|Technical 13}} <sup>(t • e • c)</sup> 21:21, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

Indeed, I don't know what you mean. --Dirk Beetstra <sup>T C</sup> 11:49, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

Total Siyapaa

Look this movie got 98% negative reviews and the boxoffice opening was low in India. But the Wiki page has wrong information. Only three critics gave positive reviews but there are 50 critics who gave negative reviews. try to understand please. If you think I am wrong in my style, then you check my links and do it yourself. This editing and re editing. is a headache. I deleted the discussion as the edit was becoming long — Preceding unsigned comment added by ZORDANLIGHTER (talk • contribs) 17:08, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

What were you adding where? Some sites, whether citing positive or negative, are just not good sites to be used per our external links or reliable sources guidelines. --Dirk Beetstra <sup>T C</sup> 11:49, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

Highway Thru Hell

Why is the Facebook page for the TV show on the spamlist? www.facebook.com/hwythruhell triggered the spambot. It's listed on the official website http://highwaythruhell as their official facebook page (hence listed at ELs as links usable because they are the official page) If Facebook itself is blacklisted, it would be helpful if the bot left a message saying that the domain is blacklisted, in addition to the specific URL, so that we can determine that all links to that domain would be reverted. -- 70.50.151.11 (talk) 04:21, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for your question. You've given the answer to your question yourself, please see WP:ELOFFICIAL. --Dirk Beetstra <sup>T C</sup> 11:48, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

HR College Article

I have mentioned something that is factual. What is the problem with the paragraph that I have added. It can be verified that HR College is using the portal for their alumni network.
