[edit] Have a treat

The RickK Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
For not stopping under endless blankings, nonsense edits, and vandalism. Whstchy 22:20, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] False positive

Got a false positive here[1]. I think it was because the proper version of the page contained insults and the vandalized version did not. No worries. (H) 18:05, 21 May 2007 (UTC)


[edit] May 2007

Please do not add unhelpful and unconstructive content to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Link to reverted edit: [2]. Sorry, just had to do that! GDonato (talk) 18:09, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] False positive 21May 2007

I'm not losing any sleep over it, but thought you'd like to know. Diff is here. Very weird, actually, seems to be reverting half of my edit and half of vandal's edit? --barneca (talk) 19:31, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] misbehaving

it changed Achaemenid persian Immortals to Achaemenid Immortals 21:11, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy tags, and {{hangon}}

I have noticed several cases of users contesting speedy-delete tags replacing them with {{hangon}} rather than adding it. Would it be within the scope of MartinBot's remit to revert such changes with a tailored warning to the user as to how they should've done it? Philip Trueman 11:22, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Editorial assistance

I apologize for not recognizing you earlier. I am just getting familiar with this type of userbox. You may want to place the following on your user page:

This user has significantly contributed to Campbell's Soup Cans assessed as one of Wikipedia's featured articles.

[edit] Block 75.144.0.89

The vandalisms by 75.144.0.89 in Diddy Kong Racing page merits a block for infinite.

[edit] Calypso (Pirates of the Carribean)

Where I can see how an entire page being replaced by a single sentence could be interpreted as vandalism, my intention was not to deface the page for Calypso. Rather, seeing as it described a character who already had her own page (Tia Dalma), it seemed like this page served little purpose. 24.24.87.228 23:54, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] miss universe edit

hey, i edited this [3]. it was vandalism, the puerto rican had not won miss universe. not sure how your bot interpreted it as vandalism, but i wish and hope and pray you could correct it! Solid Reign 05:04, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Richard Smallwood... not vandalized!

Hey, the correction on the Richard Smallwood page was removing an obviously promotional biography and reverting to the previous encyclopedic, unbiased entry. I'm surprised the bot didn't catch when a user also original did the dramatic edit to replace it! ;-) Souldier77 06:50, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] sry

please this was not me who did this , it was some guys from school they saw me passcord and have been wreeching havock on wiki. all of and any more of these edits were not me. there are several other articles that they changed and if i git one more warning ill be blocked! please beleive me i wish only good things for wiki.GuyDoe 19:55, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Revesered my rv

I rv'ed Timeline of notable computer viruses and wormsand it reverted it back to vandalized page.

the vandalism is under the 1998 section where someone put it random characters.


[edit] No vandalism

This bot is not working correctly. he is accusing me of vandalism. this is flawed 67.41.157.5 18:57, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Looks like resolved by LuigiManiac. -- Satori Son 12:57, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] My edit was legitimate

See here: [4]--Steven X 09:35, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

This should be reported as a false positive here. Thanks, Satori Son 13:00, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Legit edit reverted

Whoops This was a legitimate edit. -Justin (koavf)·T·C·M 01:24, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of stars in Hydra improperly reverted

The edit to List of stars in Hydra (diff) was legitimate, but it was reverted. It is a link to the newly-created article HR 4458. — RJH (talk) 17:41, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Incorrect reversion

Whoops My edit to john cullingworth was warranted. -Justin (koavf)·T·C·M 00:50, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dr. Who

You're changing the lastest revision I did but the only revision I did, this morning was update the Canadian listings. I did NOT put "He is Gay". Why on earth you would say you're changing MY latest revision I donn't know.

[edit] R.Expo Vandalism

Dear Sir. Someone from the following IP Address: 86.32.112.6 is trying to repeatedly vandalise R-Expo Article at Wikipedia. I would request you to either lock that article or block the above mentioned IP address. Thanking you Regards Sanchit

[edit] Nirvana nevermind lyrics

I edited them out, since I couldn't delete the article, being complete tosh as it was, at least I brought attention to them, maybe these bots should be watched more carefully, I will completely disregard the warning given to me.

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nirvana_Nevermind_Lyrics&action=edit

Being no wikipedia expert, that was the article.

[edit] I need my bot whitelisted

This is making the task a bit tricky hehe. (H) 22:18, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Done :). Martinp23 22:01, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. (H) 22:02, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sydney Technical High School article

I have a question regarding this. Are you sure that Graham Richardson was in Bob Hawke's term of office. All I can say is that i thought is could of possibly been Bob Hope and not Bob Hawke. Strike that. You were right. I checked at school and it was Bob Hawke. Efansay 01:26, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 2007 Gold Cup

I changed the colors for group standings box's because they were inaccurate and this bot changed them back, please look into it. Bornagain4 16:14, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Do you have any idea how tempting that big red button is?

Everytime I come to this page, there's this big red button staring me in the face shouting "PUSH ME! PUSH ME!" Maybe that's just me?

(I haven't given in yet, although I bet it doesn't really matter if I push the button or not. Button...) The Last Melon 03:16, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

I agree with you. I am not an admin, but if I were an admin, I would be really tempted to push it. It would raise my edit count significantly because that bot would not always beat me to vandals. You may want to move it somewhere else (unless it's some requirement that you have it at the top of the user page.) Happy editing, AlexHillan 05:31, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
Meh, the threat of de-sysopping for anyone who rogue blocks it normally keeps things moving ok. Ok, I don't know if that threat is actually out there but I figure thats why it hasn't happened more often. If you really want to take the bot down, be really really nice to a toolserver admin and hope the failovers are not up :o -- Tawker 05:40, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
Wow, talk about watching a joke run away from you...I apologize; I probably should have made it a bit more clear that I was joking. Perhaps I should add an emoticon after any and all jokes I make, crude though that may be? The Last Melon 05:51, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
LOL - I was sort of joking too :) -- 21:51, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nice!

Hey, I know you can't talk, but I think you are great. You always beat me to reverting vandalism, though. Keep up the gret work. AlexHillan 05:26, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Farmer's Branch

Not that it really matters now that all the changes have been made, but my first edit deleting the article and editorials Belgirl1223 was in preparation to move them to where they actually belong. 70.129.143.85 07:14, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sittin' on Top of the World

I transferred an article about the album by LeAnn Rimes from a page called Sittin' on Top of the World to a page called Sittin' on Top of the World (album), to free up 'Sittin' on Top of the World' so it can be used as a re-direct to this song (usually rendered as 'Sittin' on Top of the World' or 'Sitting on Top of the World'). This seems to be sensible as the song, which has numerous cover-versions, is bigger than LeAnn Rimes' album. If I've done this in an incorrect manner, I apologise. No information was deleted; the sum result was that I added one re-direct, so I cannot see how this can be interpreted as vandalism. Ikeshut 01:10, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deleting previous messages?

Is it usual practice for MartinBot to delete previous messages when posting a warning? [5] akuyumeTC 05:50, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Likely a weird edit conflict, it grabbed the version, added it's message to it and in that split second, you posted your message. -- Tawker 16:43, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you for all your hard work!

Hello! I know you're a bot and all, but you are awesome. Thank you so much!  DangerousNerd  talk 23:58, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 67.142.130.56

User 67.142.130.56 vandalized Talk:Final_Fantasy_VI, as seen at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Final_Fantasy_VI&diff=139341260&oldid=139334864. Pursuant to your warning on the IP's user page talk on 29 May 2007, you may have cause to block the IP. - MSTCrow 02:19, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Actually, it generally takes more than one vandal edit in a short period of time to justify a block. And when that time does come, please make a report at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. For more information on this whole process, please start with the guide at Wikipedia:Vandalism in progress. Good luck! -- Satori Son 02:28, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding your revision of Mothim

Your automated reversion of mothim here http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mothim&oldid=139355739 reverted a blank page to "poop" indefinitely displayed. Please correct this reversion protocol to look beyond what reversion. Netkinetic (t/c/@) 03:47, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] June 2007

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to Deep Throat (disambiguation), you will be blocked from editing. Wikidudeman (talk) 05:06, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox Photo Ursula Andress

I received permission from Wikipedia to remove the photo.

Do not revert my edit.

[edit] Attacks on Freakazoid

MartinBot, I have a problem. Should we ban the IP address 76.25.96.31 for vandalizing Freakazoid? In fact, can you teach me how to ban users from vandalizing Wikipedia? Jpark3909 17:41, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 217.41.217.24

Lots of vandalism from this IP address, some corrected, some not. Can it be reported to BT? 89.240.15.103 17:37, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Observation

It told me that it reverted an edit i made to the page. but i havent edited ANY Wikipedia pages! 125.238.90.12 22:18, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] SIGTRAN

Your bot misreverted a revert I did on SIGTRAN, probably based on the assumption that my removal of large amounts of recently-added but sadly irrelevant content amounted to vandalism.

Please can you propose the best course of action?

Thanks. JanCeuleers 12:47, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 210.5.95.168

Excuse me, I did not do anything to the Paladine_(Dragonlance) page, I have never even seen it before!

[edit] Edit regarding Fictional country

I saw you reverted a user's edit, restoring vandalism (see this diff]), so you'd reverted the wrong edit. Just letting you know. --Hasek is the best 01:51, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mherr 01:10, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

I created the article earlier today for someone else. That person, in the meantime, inserted the material in the article on "Naptha", which makes more sense. I have since redirected the article to Naphtha.

[edit] Vandalism

Um, the bot accused me of vandalism, when I was the one removing it. The bot actually reverted my removal of vandalism. See [6].  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 02:23, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

I was also accussed of vandalizing an article I've never even accessed, let alone edited.

[edit] Whitelist

Hi there! Perhaps you should whitelist all admins with respect to your anti-vandalism bot? This is not the first time I've had a cleanup action reverted by one ([7]). Just a thought. >Radiant< 12:48, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Ahh, another case of the admin whitelist mucking up, I wonder if it's having problems w/ the ! in your username... hmm -- Tawker 17:23, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reverted "vandalism?"

I notice that my additions to the Suzanne Shell article were reverted due to "vandalism."

I had added information about 1) a court case filed by Suzanne Shell where she made copyright claims. (Copyright issues were the reason there is an article at all.) and 2) a link to a police department press release that is relevant.

I would like to give a human a chance to respond before I re-enter the information.....

[edit] Office of Film and Literature Classification (Australia)

A legitimate edit of mine on the OFLC article was reverted, presumably due to the coarse language within the article. I was reverting changes to the article in which a user had censored profanity using asterisks (*). In the context of the article, the profanity was used in order to demonstrate the sort of coarse language which is permissable under the Australian classification scheme's 5 main rating categories. I reverted said words as I understand that Wikipedia permits the use of profanity if justified by context. Cheers. Sillygostly 00:20, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Walter C. Lanyon

My edit to Walter C. Lanyon was for a minor spelling fix, and was reverted. Please consider reinstating it. 24.17.171.84 08:43, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Transformers (film)

I reverted the addition of Transformers 2 in the infobox "followed by" bit, which violated WP:CRYSTAL, and the bot undid it. Alientraveller 19:56, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wes Johnson

The bot reverted a legit edit (changing "F**k" to "Fuck").80.28.202.37 20:34, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of I Dream of Jeannie episodes

For some reason, MartinBot has reverted some edits on the List of I Dream of Jeannie episodes. I don't see why, as somebody had simply added some release dates for some old VHS releases. I also think marking it as a minor edit is misleading. Andyross 14:19, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] If You are an Administrator, Please Help!!!

I've sought the help of several other administrators, but if you are a robot, as you proclaim, then you might be the best help I've sought so far, as you won't need to be anywhere else, necessarily. For the longest time now, the article: Iggy Arbuckle has needed images, but so far, slim to none has been done about it!!! I want this to stop as soon as possible; the poor little article has waited long enough. Please, please, please participate in trying to find and upload images to this article, for surely, no user could have more of the right kind of authority to do so than an administrator - especially not an administrator who's also a robot!!!

I've shut your bot off for an hour, as it is inadvertently vandalising repeatedly. When good folks like me revert blatant vandalism, your bot comes along and re-establishes the vandalism, such as the above diffs, and this one that happened to me. Please fix it! AKRadeckiSpeaketh 01:23, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

thank you! -- ∂ 01:30, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
Looks like the owner is on wikibreak and left the bot running while he's gone. I have a bit of a problem with unsupervised bots, and so I've made the block indefinite. We'll deal with this when Martin gets back. AKRadeckiSpeaketh 03:48, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
Hmm, it looks like a change somewhere is making the bot act funny. Lemme see if I can access the PID on hemlock. Well, lotsa AV bots running nowadays, MB isn't as critical as it used to be. -- Tawker 04:16, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
