User talk:COIBot

COIBot uses an algorithm to calculate overlap between a username and the link added, and between a username and the pagename a user has added a link to, and reports when the overlap exceeds a certain threshold. Please note that the algorithm is not perfect, and probably never will be perfect. Your appearance on that list does not mean that you have a conflict of interest, all cases will be judged individually by a human editor, and, when necessery, acted upon.

If you feel that your name is wrongly on the COI reports list because of an unfortunate overlap between your username and a certain link or text, please ask for whitelisting by starting a new subject here, or notify my maintainer Dirk Beetstra by starting a new subject here. For a better answer please include some specific 'diffs' of your edits (you can copy the link from the report page).

Also note that this is the talkpage of a bot. Although some people will have this page on their watchlist, answering may take some time. If you want a quicker response, make your case at WT:WPSPAM or WP:COIN.
