Just wanted to let you know that the bot reverted an edit on United_States_Senate_Page that (in my opinion) should not have been reverted. eric 23:42, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Fixed, by adding a check from the watchlist patrol mode to newbie patrol.Voice-of-All 02:50, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Bot problems

Hi, it seems to me that VoABot II (talk · contribs) isn't working properly. Any rollback or equivalent that reverts edits (plural) by X to last version by Y should result in a diff that shows that the vandalism reversion and Y's last version are identical. On the article Love (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), we had the following:

• 17:32, 22 October 2006 edit from 65.189.203.107
• 19:33, 22 October 2006 vandalism from X.danza.x (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
• 19:34, 22 October 2006 more vandalism from X.danza.x
• 19:34, 22 October 2006 attempted correction from VoABotII.

If you look at the diff that compares VoABotII's version with the version that it said it was reverting back to, you'll see that it missed some of the vandalism. It seems to have caught the first vandalism but not the second.

Unfortunetely this is some sort server side edit merge error. The bot only reverts to earlier revisions, and there is no rev. in history that matches what it reverted to. Voice-of-All 03:17, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Delete link after moving?

While cleaning up after a number of pagemove vandals, tonight, it occurred to me that it'd be nifty to have a way to quickly delete the "on wheels!" redirects left over. Adding a delete button to the page we see after moving a page seems a likely candidate; since I'm not aware of a way to segregate between admin/non-admin in MediaWiki text pages, it seems a job for Javascript. Thoughts? Luna Santin 05:13, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

The "move successful" link has a link to the old page, which can be deleted from there. As for accounts with many vandals moves, I may change "revert all moves" to delete the vandal locations.Voice-of-All 05:49, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Calvin and Hobbes page

Hello,

I posted the entry below on the 'Calvin and Hobbes' page and the BOTS keeps removing it. Why? My addition to the page was written as follows:

1.) A photo of the only exsiting plush doll of the character Hobbes (calvin and hobbes comic strip)

2.) A small description of how much the comic strip is loved by fans, that they even make their own related items such as this one and only hobbes doll ever to be created.

Due to the mass out-pour of Calvin and Hobbes fan requests, I simply added this photo of the toy on the Calvin and Hobbes page so everyone who hadn't seen the rare doll, finally had the chance to.

Below is what I added, it keeps getting removed by the BOTS for some reason. Can you please add it back or fix this problem?:

===Fan Made items===

Here is a hand-made plush doll of the character Hobbes the tiger from the Calvin and Hobbes comic strip. No Calvin and Hobbes merchandise has or ever will be released by the comic's creator Bill Watterson, so this one was hand-made by a fan in April of 2006. This is the only Hobbes doll known to exist.

Gibraltar

Hi -- VoABot II is reverting my edits to Gibraltar back to a vandalized version and won't stop. Anything I can do to help make the bot cut it out? -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 23:53, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Script Help

Ahah, it turns out I had two instances of your script in place! Which would you reccomend using? One used User:Voice_of_All/RC/monobook.js, while the other used the scripts located in User:Voice_of_All/UsefulJS. Thanks! Erich Blume 00:02, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

The former. The one at /useful, one of them that is, just src includes VoA/monobook.js so it is the same as User:Voice_of_All/RC/monobook.js.Voice-of-All 00:05, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Today's featured article

Just wanted to let you know a featured article you worked on, 0.999..., was featured today on the Main Page. Tobacman 00:40, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Another question about VoABot II

Hi. Do you know how do get some sort of range detection for the IPs in Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Aucaman? Thanks, Khoikhoi 01:03, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Tag all the IPs talk pages with one of those "shared IP" tags, such as {{IPshared|X}}. The bot can automate that for /24 ranges at a time if you need help, but I'd have to know the range.Voice-of-All 01:06, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

I suppose alternatively you blacklist them here[1].Voice-of-All 01:09, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, but how do I know if the IPs are shared or not? Do I just tag them anyways? I guess we could do 75.18.xx.xx—75.41.xx.xx. I don't know, does that sound good? (you'll have to excuse my ignorance on this stuff) Khoikhoi 01:18, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

VoABot II and "angry" mode

I noticed that VoaBot II always seems to be in "angry" mode. I don't think that it should revert more than once in a row, especially when it comes to reverting edits by new users. It should be set to "angry" mode only in extreme cases. --Ixfd64 02:00, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Soy Protein Article

A Bot reverted all my edits after I added lots of links. If Wikipedia does not like that many links, let me know. Also, I have been working for hours on the soybean article too. An IP has been vandalizing the soybean article. I want the soybeans article semi-protected from any more vandalism. Let me know if your bot made a mistake. Should I add the lots of links back to the soy protein article or not? I do not know. I think the bot made a mistake. Adding links is not vandalism. Messenger2010 06:05, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

I just looked at the edit summary. Your Bot has falsely and wrongly accussed me of vandalism. You have damaged my good name forever. Messenger2010 06:08, 25 October 2006 (UTC) I just looked at the bot accussing a lot more registered experienced users. The bot may be malfuctioning. Also please check the soy protein article about the links that I added before. Should I add the links back in or leave them out. Let me know about the links and about protecting the soybean article from an IP who has been vandalizing it. Thanks. Messenger2010 06:15, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
