Twinklefluff

Hi, VOA. I know that you have your own bot called VOABOT II that is similar to AntiVandalBot's functions. I have been pretty busy to study for final exam in my school. Today, when I came back to Wikipedia after wikibreak on final exam, I saw some wikipedian user Twinklefluff to revert vandalisms. In my opinion, Twinklefluff is similar to Popups, but I don't know about Twinklefluff too much. Could you please explain what is Twinklefluff? Please reply in my talk page. Cheers! Daniel5127 <Talk> 03:42, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

You forgot to reply my questions.!! Daniel5127 <Talk> 20:22, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

voabot

I dont know what needs to be tweaked but your bot just reverted my vandalism revert back to the reverted version of my own user page. It also warned me for vandalizing my own user page. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 19:50, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Obviously something is wrong. I shut it off.[1] Prodego ^talk 19:53, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Regarding your edit to Jamie Spaniolo:

Your recent edit to Jamie Spaniolo (diff) was reverted by an automated bot. You have been identified as a new user or a logged out editor using a hosting or shared IP address to add email addresses, phone numbers, YouTube, Geocities, Myspace, Facebook, blog, forum, or other such free-hosting website links to a page. Please note that such links are generally to be avoided. You can restore any other content by editing the page and re-adding that content. The links can be reviewed and restored by established users. Thank you for contributing! // VoABot II 16:47, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Automated message seems to be mistaken. It was not my edit that was reverted. Rather, it was my edit that was reverted to.--Rosicrucian 20:41, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, that has been a problem. I shut off the bot until VoA can fix it. Prodego ^talk 20:44, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for noticing this. The above problems were due to the old and current user names being switched around, causing people to be miswared and bad edits to be restored if someone already reverted a vandal. I've switched to the right way now. Voice-of-All 23:40, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks to everyone for finding it, and I am glad you got that worked out VoA. This is a good opportunity to ask you if you think I have been a good admin. I know you didn't support me at first, and I have never asked. :) I always like constructive criticism. Prodego ^talk 00:33, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

So this is definitely fixed now? No more warnings for reverting stuff? 'Cos they were getting annoying. Thanks – Qxz 04:53, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

At The Throne of Judgment

You bot is accusing me of being a new user and adding bad info. The change it reverted was the addition of a speedy deletion tag to a band article. Your bot apparently needs some work. Improbcat 18:22, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

The db tag was kept. It reverted to revision #109347412, which was by you, though it listed the names as switched (see above post). Voice-of-All 15:57, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

WTYM: Why was my edit reverted?

I worked at that station for a year, and have known the current owner for the past 15 years. I've also been in the radio business for the past twenty years. Check my history of other radio articles that I've created. You'll find that every bit of information on that article is true and correct. Thank you.

Your RC script

Hi,

I have installed your RC script. It's a great tool. There is, however, a small problem that I have with it. In the top right of a window I can see (to the right of the log out link) a date and time. The time displayed there is not the same as the time shown on WP:TIME. In fact the clock says now that it is 16:25 UTC while in reality it is 17:25 UTC. Do you know what could be the cause of this? Mausy5043 17:27, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Never mind, I found the cause at my end. Mausy5043 18:02, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Automated message to bot owners

As a result of discussion on the village pump and mailing list, bots are now allowed to edit up to 15 times per minute. The following is the new text regarding bot edit rates from Wikipedia:Bot Policy:

Until new bots are accepted they should wait 30-60 seconds between edits, so as to not clog the recent changes list and user watchlists. After being accepted and a bureaucrat has marked them as a bot, they can edit at a much faster pace. Bots doing non-urgent tasks should edit approximately once every ten seconds, while bots who would benefit from faster editing may edit approximately once every every four seconds.

Also, to eliminate the need to spam the bot talk pages, please add Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard to your watchlist. Future messages which affect bot owners will be posted there. Thank you. --Mets501 05:14, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

VoABot and RFPP

Something seems to have gone AWOL here - RFPP is literally clogged. Is this an intentional withdrawal of edits, or has something been unintentionally changed? Cheers, Daniel.Bryant 08:56, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:List of protected pages

Um, there is something seriously wrong with the "Other pages" section. Titoxd^(?!?) 20:05, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Dispute at Copa del Rey and Athletic Bilbao

There is on-going dispute regarding how many Copa del Reys Athletic Bilbao should be credited with. It centres on the 1902 Copa. I would appreciate your input/mediation. I have posted the message below to try explain why Athletic should be credited with the 1902 Copa.

I am not disputing that Club Vizcaya won the Copa in 1902. However this team is part of Athletic Bilbao history. Club Vizcaya is not a separate club from Athletic, but is part of the clubs history. Several clubs including FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, Real Sociedad and RCD Espanyol and Real Union have won the Copa del Rey under different names. All trophies won under their various names are included in one list. So why should the Athletic record be different ?

Below is a timeline which explains the early history of Athletic.

• Early 1890s: Bilbao FC formed by British workers.
• 1898: Basque students returning from UK form Athletic Club.
• 1902: Above two teams enter combined team known as Club Vizcaya in Copa del Rey.
• 1903: These two teams merge and form Athletic Club Bilbao
• 1907: The Club Vizcaya name is revived as Athletic Club de Bilbao and Union Vizcaino entered another combined team in the Copa del Rey.

The 1902 Copa is included in Athletic’s own honours list [2] and the trophy is in their museum [3]. The eleven Club Vizcaya players who played in the final - L. Arana, E Careaga, P. Larranga, L. Silva, A. Arana, Goiri, Cazeaux, Astorquia, W. Dyer, R. Silva, W. Evans - are all included in an archive of former Athletic players [4]. Djln--Djln 14:57, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

RC Patrol Script

Hi,Voice of All. Actually i want to report some problem for your RC Patrol Script, it remove my watchlist once i press "rollback", and add articles to watchlist once i'm press "restore this version", why this can happen. I hope this problem can be solve. Thank you. --Aleenf1 02:47, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

I also just noticed that if I use the rollback feature of your script, it removes the article from my watchlist. I've missed some vandalism because of this, so if it can be fixed that would be great. Thanks, love your script! Katr67 06:28, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Bot problem

Per a note I got, I tried to post a reply (a question) on the Media Copyright Questions page... and it got pulled by the bot for being vandalism. (?!?!?!)

Yes, I am new 'round here, but I have good photos I want to freely share.

Here's the post in question (in a funky archive copied format)...

	+  	Image:Matt_hales-aqualung.jpg
 	+ 	Okay, I give up. I honestly don't know how to comply with this if I'm not already!
 	+ 	
 	+ 	The note I got: "I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear." The summary part already said: "Musician Matt Hales, aka Aqualung. Photo (c) Nancy J Price. June 2005 in Tempe, Arizona." I also licensed it appropriately (I thought).
 	+ 	
 	+ 	I took this photo. I have read over all the pages about images -- and can't figure out what I am supposed to do differently here. Could you please tell me how/where I need to add any other tags/disclaimers/kitchen sinks?
 	+ 	
 	+ 	Andwhatsnext 20:41, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Please help, and also realize that this isn't vandalism. :-(

Sorry, you have a long line of "=" marks, which does not format and is often vandalism. Just re-add it it without those. Sorry. Voice-of-All 17:49, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Volbot II messed up

... again. The bot identified this as vandalism. Please have the bot sit in the corner as his punishment. No cookies. :-) Real96 06:38, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

VoAbot II

Can you have the bot not watch Wikipedia:Request an account? Due to the nature of the process, we need unregistered users to be able to add e-mail addresses. Ral315 » 19:54, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Done. Voice-of-All 04:24, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

FeTNA lead page

Dear Editor, I want to let you know about the inaccuracies in the lead page about FeTNA.I tried to edit it.As I am new to wiki I may not have followed the proper procedures. The lead page and the past discussions are there but there seems to be no change in the lead page. I would like to look at my edit and please get back to me. Are you one of the editors or how is this process being carried out. I appreciate your getting back to me.

Your bot reverted my changes

I am a new user and I tried editing my first article. After my submission of a new section your bot reverted my changes. I am a noob to editing wikipedia and I don't really understand what was wrong with my edit. Your bot's message said that I am using a shared IP or that I am adding free-hosting links to a website. Could you please help me understand what I did wrong and look at my edit if you can. Thank you.

Please note that I am re-posting this question since you have not yet responded but seem to be responding to other questions. I don't mean to be rude, but I myself find it rude that Wikipedia says that questions can be asked on discussion and talk pages and yet no one is taking the time to respond or at least say why they are not responding if my question is not very good. I do not want to fill a pages history with a mess of changes being reverted by your bot due to trial and error, but if no one tells me what I am doing wrong, that is exactly what I am going to have to do until I can figure out what it is I am doing wrong. Again, I am not trying to be rude or disrespectful. I am just new here and trying to get some help. Robear 16:06, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Request edit of protected RFC/Essjay

You protected the WP:RFC/USER page on "Essjay" just as I was trying to save a typo correction to my endorsement (the last, #14) of Tariqabjotu's outside view, #3.32 in the TOC. Could that correction still be made? If the page is saved instead of deleted, I'd hate to have my typo set in stone. It's one dratted apostrophe missing near the start, setting the italics wrong through the rest of the paragraph:
          (UTC)]</span>: '"<u>From the moment
should be:
          (UTC)]</span>: ''"<u>From the moment
Just a doubled apostrophe to start the italics off right, that's all I need. Please? -- Ben 04:30, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

I believe that another user unprotected anyway. Voice-of-All 04:37, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

And then someone else reprotected it. But I see that you made the edit. Thanks! -- Ben 05:14, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

This bot made a mistake...

I reverted a vandal's edit and the bot undid my revert (to Nugs And Nachos)... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Orijok (talk • contribs) 06:07, 4 March 2007 (UTC). As I can tell, not the first time...can you fix that?
