Um...You're trying to argue with a bot... HalfShadow 04:34, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove article tags from articles, without correcting the issues they address. You have removed three tags from World War Z, and a significant amount of information from the article, without fixing the issues the tags address. Please take your concerns or comments to the article's talk page to discuss your changes, as mass removal of information without discussion is not advised. Thanks.

In this IP address' defense, I believe he/she is addressing the problems. He/she removed a huge chunk of blow-by-blow plot, leaving it to just one big paragraph and doesn't go into the same amount of detail. The tag removed, {{plot}}, asks to reduce the amount of plot, which he/she just did.

Anyway, I was coming here to say that if you remove too large of a chunk of material, some antivandal bots will think it is vandalism and revert it. hbdragon88 04:40, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This IP removed two other article tags as well, though, the references tag, and the in-universe tag, and did not address those issues. And when removing massive amounts of information from an article, it is courteous to first discuss the issue with other editors on the article's talk page. The best way is not always to do what this IP is doing, blanking a major portion of the article, but to condense, paraphrase, and summarize instead. Ariel♥Gold 04:42, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A bot is an automated program. There's nothing to talk to, it's simply a program. Look here:VoABot II HalfShadow 04:39, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you
