When did the FBI start making disclaimers inspired by Major League Baseball? --Moni3 (talk) 18:06, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

That note about the bot is very strange. [1] shows TXiKiBoT to be ahead of SieBot by almost 800,000 edits. Also, the Wiktionary interwiki bot Interwicket has about 2 million edits more than Thijs!bot, contradictory to what is said in this article. --Yair rand (talk) 03:43, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
- The note clearly stated that this is "According to Wikimedia's Bot activity statistics ...", which currently read as follows in the overall ("Σ") column:
- SieBot 9.0 M
- TXiKiBoT 7.2 M
- Thijs!bot 5.3 M
- ...
- I have clarified in the article that the Wikimedia statistics refer to Wikipedias. The difference between the official Wikimedia statistics and the VVV SULutil that you are citing could also be partly due to the fact that the former counts "Only bot edits for articles" (i.e. apparently not other namespaces). But bots that feel they have been unfairly treated in Wikimedia's ranking should complain to Erik Zachte, not to the Signpost ;)
