[edit] Sprot at Recent Deaths

Hi,

Just wondering what was going on at my old friend "Recent Deaths". Since the page links off the main page (and was, in fact, how I became involved with WP as an anon. newbie), I don't favor long-term protection of any kind for it. Let know if there is anything I can do to help resolve on-going problems. Best wishes, Xoloz 13:42, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bot flag request

Hi! Can you have a look at Wikipedia:Bots/Requests_for_approvals#User:StefanBot_bot_flag_approval_request, and Wikipedia:Bots/Requests_for_approvals#Botflag re-re-request and considering granting my bot a bot flag, seams that my questions is forgotten on the talk page. Thanks!! Stefan 01:11, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! Stefan 14:55, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Okay...

How do you suggest I voice my displeasure in the future then? Ardenn 19:04, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

It might change it. If you don't say anything, how else do you bring about change? Ardenn 20:21, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
Now isn't it you who isn't being civil? I don't want to get him de-sysop'd, but I do think it was a mistake for him to be an admin. Ardenn 20:32, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AOL Vandal

Hi Tawker, Not sure who to ask, but seen as you're the Botmeister. Maybe you're aware of the bot vandalism by AOL IPs 207.200.116.XXX which adds es to random pages about 1 a second. Myself and the usual lot of recent changes patrollers are on top of it (ish). But my question is there anyway I can do a search on past edits by this IP and if the change has had es in it? Just aware that with the bot doing this much damage loads of entries will have been missed. I have Lupins recent IP edits as well as popups, but would like to do a better historical search if possible. Cheers Khukri (talk . contribs) 13:29, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

It's on the todo list, things are a tad busy around here though :o -- Tawker 14:20, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
Don't mean to stress you out or anything, just wondering if there was anything already existing that's all. If not no bother. Cheers

Also, congrats on Luongo, great deal. I'm looking forward to Vesa Toskala as the next Sens goalie. Maybe -- Samir धर्म 05:51, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] TB2 code

Can I have the code to TB2 to assist me in developing this? Crazynas 00:22, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bot Approval

Hello Tawker. Do you know if I have to have bot approval to have a bot on Wikipedia? GrasslandT 15:18, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

I've haven't made the request yet....but it reverts vandalisim, gives vandals warnings, and repairs links along with doing house cleaning. It's Grasslandbot. Grassland | T | C 03:25, 29 June 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Voting

I've seen this particular user's name in a voting process on one of the pages I'm interested in and found your comment on his vote about User:Jaranda through his contributions. One thing got my attention that he has been into a lot of votings, cast all his votes with no explanations (except for one case, where he says he agrees with another user) and never commented on the articles' discussion pages nor edited the articles. For your information. DeliDumrul 05:16, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Is there a reason you blocked User:24.123.127.189?

I don't see anything wrong with his edits - he added a fact and a source. --SPUI (T - C) 08:08, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for your support in my RfA!

Thanks for voting!
Hello Tawker/Jul06, and thanks for your support in my recent RfA. I'm pleased to announce that it passed with a final tally of (96/0/0). I was overwhelmed by all of the nice comments and votes of confidence from everyone. Hope you're enjoying your Wikibreak, and I'll see you around! OhNoitsJamie Talk 16:44, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WP:AIV/TB2

I think in TB2's edit summarys when it reports vandals, it should link to the talk page instead of the userpage, because linking to the userpage is pointless and many vandals don't have userpages. --GeorgeMoney (talk) (Help Me Improve!) 21:57, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A belated thank you

Hi there:

I need to offer you a much belated thank you for your support of my RfA. I have been off Wikipedia for a week due to illness and work, so I apologize for the lateness of this response. Unfortunately, my RfA wasn't successful, but I certainly got some good feedback. Thank you.

— DLJessup (talk) 19:26, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] audit #2

I run one (132 past edits) and found 128 to actually be vandalism and 4 to me mistakes. It was 96.7% accurate (a soccer player incident caused 3 or 4 of the mistakes). GangstaEB (talk • contribs • count • ice slides) 13:33, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Woot, it works! -- Tawker 16:55, 5 July 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Thanks

I know you're out right now, but thanks so much for the nomination and support (well, I hope you would support me if you nominated me!) on my RfA, which has passed with a consensus of 67 support, 0 opposed and 0 neutral. Let me know how I'm doing as an admin any time at my talk page. Thanks! TheProject 21:28, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Ahh, it's soo much easier to hit a MSN window :o - Enjoy China :) -- Tawker 16:55, 5 July 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Wow, you missed a lot while you were away...

...like the trade of Chris Pronger to the Ducks. We already got Scott Niedermayer. Scary, huh? ;) -→Buchanan-Hermit™/?! 18:19, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank god for SMS and TV coverage, I wasn't that out of touch :o -- Tawker 16:55, 5 July 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Tawkerbot autoreverted a legitimate vote on WP:AID

[1]. Can you address, please? I'm sure I'm not a vandal, but they all say that, don't they? ;-)  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  06:17, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Ok, see reply on your talk page from various editors :) -- Tawker 16:55, 5 July 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Regexps

Could you please email me some of Tawker's vandalism check regexes. VoABot has been patrolling AOL and shared IP edits for a while now, and I'd like to be able to catch article and userpage vandals. Thanks.Voice-of-All 21:19, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Replied on IRC :) -- Tawker 16:55, 5 July 2006 (UTC)


[edit] My Mistake

I recently changed the message on your wikibreak from what you had and what I was planning on adding to my userpage. It was a careless mistake that should not have happened. I quickly reverted it when I saw what I had done but regardless I am sorry. I had recently been looking at your userpage and seen you were on wikibreak. As a result instead of looking for the template I just went to your page and was planning on editting it there and copy and pasting to my without ever saving. I got sidetracked while writing it and as a result forgot. As a result I simply saved it when I was done typing it. Again I am sorry and hope that I have not upset you in anyway. Leave me a message on my talk if there is any problem at all. Sorry again, SorryGuy 06:31, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

No worries, no worries at all :) -- Tawker 16:55, 5 July 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Discussion about TB2 notices underway

Just to let you know that there is a discussion currently underway to propose having TB2 and AVB post their vandalism alerts directly to the main AIAV page. Since you are responsible for the bot, I figured you might want to be involved in the discussion. :) - TexasAndroid 14:19, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I didn't know (hey, I just got back in town :) - I'll post my 2c there too :) -- Tawker 16:55, 5 July 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Category:Hempfield Area School District Schools

Yeah, what happened is you blanked the page by removing all content, in the future it'd be best to put a speedy tag on it (db...) - I've gone ahead and deleted the article now -- Tawker 16:59, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Actually I was just getting to that when the 'bot sent me the note. Thanks. :-) — RJH (talk) 17:05, 5 July 2006 (UTC)


[edit] RfA/JLaTondre

This is very funny... - CrazyRussian talk/email 17:55, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hiroshima: Mistake

At the moment there is an anon IP absolutely desemating the Hiroshima article. It seems that I was quicker then your bot on one occasion, I got in, reverted the vandal, and the next second your bot (obviously set to revert last edit) reverted my edit back to the vandalism. I then reverted your bots revert (I hope this makes sense) but your bot gave me a warning at 11:11, 5 July 2006, maybe you could make it so that if it wants to revert an edit by *insert IP or username* it makes sure that it was that ip or username that made the last edit before it saves the page. Thanks. Tobes (talk) 11:17, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Well, it does check, I've heard of it happening on the odd odd fluke case, I don't think there's a heck of a lot more we can try there but i'll look -- Tawker 16:55, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
Ok then, I just thought I'd bring it to your attention but it seems it was a random fluke. Doesn't really matter. And good job with the bot, it's beaten me to reverts many a time :) Tobes (talk) 05:46, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Circumvented violation of WP:3RR at Persecution of Jehovah's Witnesses

Would you be willing to revert? I've started both a CheckUser and 3RR violation report on Truthwanted (talk · contribs). If you don't want to, that's fine, too. Don't want to get too tangled in our series of articles... ;-) - CobaltBlueTony 20:33, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] TawkerBot

Your bot keeps stopping me from deleting WEXP (DISAMBIGUATION)...the page is unnecessary. In addition, there is someone who keeps deleting a section from the WEXP article (Executive Board)..can you set your bot to automatically revert it when this guy user:earthwatch deletes it?

Only admins can delete articles in the sense I think you're talking of, next time please throw a {{db|reason here}} tag on it and it will get deleted in a few min :) -- Tawker 15:04, 7 July 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Tawkerbot2

Tawkerbot2 recently reverted an edit of mine (see my talk page) where I was restoring a removed speedy delete tag. I don't know if this is a habit of Tawkerbot's or an isolated incident, but I'd like it if he didn't do it anymore. --Mr. Lefty Talk to me! 16:11, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] proxy checker

I have read about your proxy checker and would be glad if I could be entrusted to use it. It's sounds very useful in my work as a Chekuser on the Swedish Wikipedia. /Grön sv 21:16, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, send me a WP email and I'll email you the script :) -- Tawker 16:55, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
Send you the email yesterday. /Grön sv 11:07, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tawkerbot4 reverts to vandal version

See [2]. How to correct it? Anwar 02:57, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

It's called a vandal bot. It was created to protect pages against vandalism. If you don't want to be reverted by it, please just don't vandalize. [3] [4] [5] [6] --Msiev 12:14, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
No I reverted the vandalism. The bot mistook it to be vandalism. Now the article contains only fundamentalist POV. For example, UP has a population of 31m not 13m. Anwar 14:25, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AntiVandalBot malfunctioning again

I've just blocked AntiVandalBot (talk · contribs) due to malfunctioning. It was reverting edits by DVD R W (talk · contribs), who is an administrator. See the page history of expressionist architecture. --Ixfd64 23:46, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

  • It turned out that the problem was caused by an outdated list rather than an actual malfunction. I originally guessed that the bot checked for administrator permissions through special:listusers; it seems that I was wrong. As DVD R W became an administrator only recently, he probably wasn't added to the bot's list until now. --Ixfd64 00:15, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Quirky reversion

Hi. Take a look at Tawkerbot's reversion of this edit - any ideas? SP-KP 21:19, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation. No probs at all - he (or it is she) does good work 99.9% of the time, which is more than can be said for most of us humans! SP-KP 22:57, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Suggested merge of WP:AIV/TB2

I'm not sure if you've been following the discussion at WT:AIV, but there's a fair consensus to merge the TB2 and main AIV pages in some way (my own preference is for a complete merge, others have suggested transcluding). Obviously this would require reconfiguration of Tawkerbot2, so we can't just go ahead and do it. Would you consider merging the pages or, if there are technical issues we don't know about, let us know? --Sam Blanning(talk) 08:31, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Incorrect bot revert

OK, you are forgiven! :) --Andeh 19:29, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User Page Colors

I'm not sure if this really matters to you, but I've been to your page quite a few times, and have always missed the "show" link at the right side of the boxes on your userpage (it's something about the blue on red). If I were you, I'd probably change the word show to a lighter color...but that's just me =). Regards, Alphachimp talk 05:47, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Lol, I didn't even make my own user page, where is Master of Puppets again :) -- Tawker 05:50, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
Haha, now I'm really confused. Whatever. Alphachimp talk 06:16, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bot action!

Love it! [7]. Shall I censure your bot for attack vandalism? :) - CrazyRussian talk/email 15:46, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 151.205.39.227 (talk · contribs)'s redirections

Greetings, Tawker. The block you made for 3RR was likely off however a block was likely warranted regardless as disruption per the fact that I had warned the user against repetitively redirecting. I'm not questioning your judgement but maybe it'd be good to warn the user yourself and revert the last redirect and then lift the block with an understanding that they'll not revert again? Thanks. (→Netscott) 19:52, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

User:Pgk seems to have made a proper explanation of citing 3RR on the user's page... still if they agree to refrain from reverting I think it'd be a good gesture to lift the block. Thanks. (→Netscott) 19:55, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
Tawker sorry for questioning your block. You were correct in citing WP:3RR, this revert is where this user expressed an "entitlement to 3RR" which is definitely not in accord with policy. (→Netscott) 20:06, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Malfunctioning bot

Your bot reverted a perfectly good edit (and one which was designed to head of improper conduct by another user at that). If it isn't reliable, please stop using it. Chicheley 21:38, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Name references

Hi Tawker, can you please remove my real name from your archives. It has popped up on the google search engines. I have changed it since then and would like to keep this infomation private.

[edit] My RfA thanks

Hello Tawker/Jul06, and thank you for your Wild support at my Request for Adminship, which succeeded with an overwhelming final count of (105/2/0). I was very pleased with the outpouring of kind words from the community that has now entrusted me with these tools, from the classroom, the lesson in human psychology and the international resource known as Wikipedia. The Free Encyclopedia. Please feel free to leave me plenty of requests, monitor my actions (through the admin desk on my userpage) and, if you find yourself in the mood, listen to some of what I do in real life. In any case, keep up the great work and have a fabulous day. Grandmasterka 07:19, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Carnot heat engine and Carnot cycle

What you did was a cut and paste move, instead of using the big shiny move button up by the edit this page button. I've done the move for you using the move button -- Tawker 22:53, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
You just mistakenly reverted twenty minutes worth of my work. These are supposed to be two separate pages: Carnot cycle and Carnot heat engine. I couldn't use the move button, because there were parts and chunks that needed to be distributed to each page, so I started to do a cut-n-paste job but got reverted by your bot. Please revert what you just did; it was all fixed at my last edit, in which I uploaded two new images. Please comment back when you are finished. Thanks:--Sadi Carnot 00:09, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
You seem to be logged-off, so I re-fixed it. All is good now.--Sadi Carnot 01:44, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Username annoyance

A new user has created the account User:MingIex, exploiting the ambiguity of L and I to create a name looking like mine. They are editing Clive Bull [8], which I often have edited, and I assume they are deliberately trying to cause confusion. What can I do? Minglex 17:05, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tawkerbots.

I think that you forgot to answer my question(About Tawkerbot) in my talk-page. I already asked this question I guess. I'm just interested about Tawkerbots. So How does Tawkerbot4 work on? Yesterday, I noticed that there is a picture of Tawkerbot4. Is Tawkerbot 4 really computer? or is Tawkerbot4 another tools for reverting vandalisms like Tawkerbot2? How do you use it to revert all vandalisms include user's page, and every articles in Wikipedia? I've decided to make my own bot in Wikipedia. Please, reply in my talk-page. I'm waiting for your answer. Cheers!! *~Daniel~* ☎ 22:46, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vancouver Wikipedian Meetup

Sorry you have it wrong. Yes I've taken a lot of pics in the Vancouver area, but I actually live in Canterbury in England. I've just visited Canada about 8 times in recent years. Thanks for the offer, but I think the airfare is a bit much for a meetup :) Ben W Bell talk 06:51, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User:Samanello

I understand that you placed an indefinite ban on User:Samanello after he had been blocked for 24 hours by another administrator. I understand that it was in relation to messages that he placed on top of other articles. He has contacted the unblocking list seeking an unblock. I have advised him that I am seeking more information about his situation. Could you please advise. Capitalistroadster 23:31, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your comments about User:Samanello. Please note that I have set up a subpage for discussion about this user at User:Yamla/Samanello in an attempt to provide a single point of reference. --Yamla 01:07, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Please see my comments on User:Yamla/Samanello; I don't see that the warnings given to Samanello were appropriate or that good faith was assumed in initially engaging with them on the vandalism point. There are very good, strong reasons for those policies, and the escalation of abuse and indef block do not appear to have been necessary outcomes of the initial dispute.

[edit] Cut Spelling

I see what You mean, you see those other texts were put there by me, but they arent genuine Cut Spelling texts. I just took other texts and ``translated`` them into Cut Spelling. But then later I realized that is original research so I recently deleated them and I added the original sample.

[edit] RfA questions

Hi, just to let you know that I've answered the questions you added to my RfA.--Andeh 01:08, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Xaxabot RfA

You suggested I use a test wiki, but you didn't give me a link. Is it [test.wikipedia.org here]? (ah, so it is...do I really have to? For testing purposes, I'm not sure it's suitable) Anyway, at this stage, I'd basically just like to run a script to parse the second, third, etc largest wiki's FA categories, and process interwiki links, adding FAOL tags, maybe other useful stuff (where should I ask around for good ideas? VP?). I'm not sure the resulting list will be so large I couldn't do the edits by hand, but if/when I start writing code to do such editing, I should post a re-application, right? After the initial run, the number of new foreign FAs to check shouldn't be excessive, and could simply be posted to some user or project page. I recall reading about a pyinterwikibot or something like that, but I don't think I was able to download the code for it; again, if you have a link, I would be grateful. Xaxafrad 06:30, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wow, that was really quick!

Hey, thanks for your quick delete of Andrew Heslop (see Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Andrew_Heslop). You're the one who commented, but User:Pilotguy was the deleter in the edit log. Are you two working together?? Anyway, it turns out I actually have a related page to delete, and since you did such a good job of deleting it quickly, and so the vote was quickly archived, I didn't have enough time to list this article. The article is Neighbour Day, which was created by the same user who created the first article; could you delete it? Thanks JianLi 18:09, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] requesting add to proxy-checkers list

I'd like to be added to the WP:OP verified users list as I realise the problem on open proxies. I can research and interpret the results via web based tools, not your proxycheck script as I don't have a linux box up and internetting yet. Thanks, ~ crazytales56297 -talk- 05:13, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Eluchil404's RfA

Thank you for taking the time to express an opinion in my recent request for adminship. I have withdrawn my self-nomination because there seemed little prospect for further productive discussion or the formation of a consensus to promote. Many commentators offered constructive critisism that I will use to improve myself as a user. Others suggested that the nomination was premature and that a re-nom in a few months would be more likely to gain consensus. The rational you gave was per Tony. If you have the time, I would appreciate some feedback on what specific actions I can take to remedy the problems identified by Tony Sidaway. If not, no problem, I still appreciate the feedback. Happy editing! Eluchil404 19:30, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Is John Clary a re-creation of Johnny Lee Clary?

I note that Potters house (talk · contribs) was involved in both the editing of Johnny Lee Clary and with John Clary, who appears to be the same individual. I do not know whether it's the same article content, but I view it as a quite real possibility -- Potters house, "Nick", seems to think that Wikipedia policies are there to be disregarded when he sympathizes with or chooses to believe one side over the other. -- Antaeus Feldspar 22:31, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User:Ardenn

Hi Tawker, was watching what was going on from a distance. I'm here to request an unblock. I believe that the vandalism warning on his talk page was a bit superfluous given that there was an edit war in play. I can understand Ardenn wanting to remove it. I'm not condoning Ardenn's actions on other pages, but I don't think it'd be right to block him over this. Thanks -- Samir धर्म 05:29, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

But I do agree he was gaming 3RR -- Samir धर्म 05:31, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
Tawker: Prior to his block for gaming 3RR, Ardenn left two messages on my talk page. His second note, in which he states that he feels his ongoing reverts of the A-Channel affiliate stations do not qualify as vandalism, is a fair comment. Having reviewed the relevant article, I can see his point, as his actions are described quite clearly in the section "What vandalism is not". However, I firnly believe that his use of the "no personal attacks" template here is unwarranted, and that its spurious inclusion on my talk page could easily be misinterpreted by readers unaware of the details of the dispute. As Wikipedia policy discourages users from independently deleted "warning" class messages from their talk pages, I am seeking the permission of an administrator to do so. Thank you in advance for your assistance, and I'm sorry that this issue has reached this stage. --Ckatzchatspy 05:57, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] While you're pondering

I have to get to bed as I have to lead rounds tomorrow, so could I make a suggestion? If Ardenn agrees not to edit any of the articles in question for at least 31 hours, lets the RfC reach consensus on the articles (by which time hopefully more on the deal in question will come to fruition) and avoids Ckatz, could the block be lifted? Thanks for your consideration man -- Samir धर्म 06:23, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
