User talk:Tawker

Tawker is away on vacation in until Oct 10, happy Thanksgiving :) and may not respond swiftly to queries.

Anything Colbert related accusing me of blackmail will be treated as vandalism and will be reverted without warning. If you can't understand what a joke is, this likely isn't the best page to read at the moment, try reading Stephen Harper and you might understand :)

help!

I accidentally blanked half the Robin Hood article. I know you fixed it when I did this to the Star Wars article. Can you tell me how to fix it? Thank you.

Tawkerbot4 unusual revert & vandal warning

Hey, can you check out why I received a Tawkerbot4 warning for this edit? Cheers. Budgiekiller 10:07, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just popped back to see if you had answered, didn't want this to go missing in your five day rolling archive. Budgiekiller 15:45, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

TawkerbotTorA

Will the bot sign up for Category:Administrators open to recall? What if it unblocks itself - will we take it to RfAr? Some of the oppose votes are funny... - CrazyRussian talk/email 15:52, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

re: Unicornscan article deletion

I noticed that you have deleted the Unicornscan. Could you please point me to some justification of this?

Continuing the discussion...

On your talk page this time. You stated: "your current vote likely will confuse the hell out of a lot of users..." How many users who voted support actually understand the C# code TawkerBotTorA is written in ? Jcam

Calling it a bot

This is a rather serious error. People are opposing it as an unsupervised automated bot, rather than as a watched, limited-time-only, manually operated script. —Centrx→talk • 19:05, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Retrieval

Would it be possible to retrieve the article somehow? I couldn't figure that out from the deletion history. Thanks

WP:RFA / WP:RFBOT request

I'm sure you're watching these closely, but can you look at the RFA question I just added regarding possible use of the meta:Proxy_blocking functions to achieve this result? Thanks, — xaosflux ^Talk 01:23, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikitruth

Your speedy is up for deletion review, FYI. --badlydrawnjeff talk 23:34, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I hope the deletion of this article was a mistake by your bot and not a misguided action on your part. Vivelequebeclibre 04:01, 7 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for deleting the Wikitruth article. In my opinion, this anti-Wikipedia site has been created by multiple hardbanned User:Ted Wilkes alias User:DW alias User:NightCrawler and his many other sockpuppets. DW was under a hard ban since 2003 (see [1]) and "has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia, per ruling of administrators, Jimbo Wales", etc. in 2005. See [2], [3]. One of the criticisms against Wikipedia centers on Jimbo Wales and the Wikipedia:Office Actions page which deals with certain legal issues. Ted Wilkes claimed to have much legal knowledge and used this knowledge in his mud-throwing campaign against arbcom member Fred Bauder. Wilkes, who plumed himself on being one of the best and most active contributors to Wikipedia, was blocked by arbcom ruling on 19 March 2006 for one year. See [4]. Is it just mere coincidence that Wikitruth was started shortly after that date, on 20 March 2006? His alias NightCrawler had much trouble with administrator Angela, ironically wishing Angie "WikiLove," etc. See [5], [6]. Significantly, Angela Beesley is attacked on the Wikitruth pages. Furthermore, administrator FCYTravis is one of Wikitruth's whipping boys, perhaps because Ted Wilkes had some trouble with this administrator on the Talk:Nick Adams page. See, for instance, [7]. Wikitruth also frequently claims that too many vandals and trolls "game the system" on Wikipedia. Is it just by chance that Wilkes and his supporter User:Wyss frequently accused user Onefortyone of gaming the system, being a troll, the "most dangerous vandal", etc., falsely claiming that this user's edits were fabricated, unfounded, or unwarranted and therefore must be removed. See [8], [9], [10], [11], [12]. Wyss even accused administrator Mel Etitis of being a troll. See [13]. For a summary of the facts, see also [14], [15]. Significantly, Wikitruth is recommended on Wyss's user page. See also [16]. So much for my suspicion concerning the origin of Wikitruth. Therefore, any reference to this biased anti-Wikipedia site should be deleted.

Deletion of Home.co.uk

Noted 18:10, 2 October 2006 Tawker (Talk | contribs) deleted "Home.co.uk" (advert)

Decision seems inconsistent. c.f. existence of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rightmove http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foxtons

Indeed, the above could be considered adverts too.

Suggested reason to reverse decision: Home.co.uk publishes the only other counterpart to Rightmoves's asking price index (uk house prices) and is therefore a primary data source. --Dougshephard 10:00, 7 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, on your talk page then

Just showing up here to request you put my name on the list I mentioned on IRC (seeing as you're a sysop). So you know I easily meet the criteria at the top of that page, just incase you were wondering. :-) Happy editing Tawker --Michael Billington (talk • contribs) 05:00, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My RfA

File:Nuvola apps kfm home.png

Thank you for participating in my RfA, which passed with a tally of 91/1/4. I can't express how much it means to me to become an administrator. I'll work even more and harder to become useful for the community. If you need a helping hand, don't hesitate to contact me. NCurse _work 15:35, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

AntiVandalBot/Tawkerbot2

Hello Tawker. I'm a spanish wikipedia user, and I'd like to know if it should be posible to adapt the anti-vandalism bot to use it in the spanish wikipedia. I have seen it in RC and it's an incredible tool to fight vandalism. (Is it programmed in python, as most of the tools for WP?) Thanks in advance! Er Komandante 05:55, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
