Wait, What error?

What was the error? CWii_{(Talk|Contribs)} 02:14, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

You said his empty talk page is a "preserved discussion". Not sure what that means ;) Voice-of-All 02:15, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

I was talking about this edit :P. IMO It's no big deal CWii_{(Talk|Contribs)} 02:17, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Mayfield Park

Just wondered why the Mayfield Park, Southampton page that I'd barely started to create (in good faith) was deleted immediately? It is a park. A green open space, with trees, birds, flowers, swings for the kids and some interesting history (Mayfield Park). It is definitely not a club, band etc.

Somebody or something is being a bit over zealous !

The park was formerly part of William Chamberlayne's estate It contains a memorial to Charles James Fox It also contains the site of a water-powered wood-working mill established by Walter Taylor in 1762. Troops were camped there in the build-up to D-Day

There's enough there to be significant contribution to Wikipedia I would think ! Hethurs (talk) 23:37, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Any page can be recreated, if it meets the criteria. For something like this I'd at least put in some sources. Voice-of-All 00:41, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

The page was deleted so quickly, I didn't have a chance to put in the links. I was still working on it having made an initial start. I understood from the article on what to do if your page is deleted that it is not lost, it can be retrieved. Perhaps you would be good enough to retrieve it ! Hethurs (talk) 08:49, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

You might want to pursue WP:DELREV. Philip Trueman (talk) 15:46, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

I haven't the time, or the patience or the inclination to go through that process. If this user hadn't removed the page inappropriately, it wouldn't be necessary. He seems to accept that it was an inappropriate deletion. All this is doing is wasting my valuable time. Voice of All deleted the page, so it's his responsibility to put that mistake right. Hethurs (talk) 06:23, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

VoA, I must admit I can't see any justification for an A7 looking at the deleted content. Since when was a park a group/company/organisation?!! :) Nevertheless, not a problem. I've offered to work with Hethurs to see if we can recover this situation, and hope you won't mind me offering assistance in this instance. Pedro :  Chat  10:02, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Why would I mind? I'm not here to make people angry. In patrolling hundreds of pages, some things might be done that people disagree with. It's quite a thankless job really. I think I'll stick to the far end of NewPages, since those pages are the oldest. Anyway, A7 seems to have changed slightly last time I checked...kind of annoying. Voice-of-All 15:32, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Man, tell me about it. A7 changes every five minutes, and I only found out about the changes to blocking "confusing" usernames the other day, Hi Ho. Anyway, all resolved and thank you! Pedro :  Chat  07:55, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

I need some help with a hasty moderator

He keeps undoing my edits that have nothing to do with vandalism of the article. It's only keeping the entry from being improved. 72.66.80.133 (talk) 20:11, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Re: Blechnic

I never said I was banning him. He's just blocked until he learns to stop attacking other users. In the event he doesn't learn, then yes, I'll bring it up for further review at an appropriate venue. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 00:15, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, but you threated to ban him, which implied that you have the ability to do that. I don't mean to quibble, but the wording of notice was a bit misleading. Aaron Schulz 00:53, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

VoABot II

I have been made to feel unwelcome at WT:BAG, and the deeper issues this raises shouldn't be decided there anyway, so I have taken the discussion to Wikipedia:Requests for comment/VoABot II. This is more about the underlying philosophical issues than your bot's conduct, but I couldn't find a more appropriate place for it. Hesperian 02:51, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

The hiccups of bot-editing Wikipedia

I notice that at 01.49 on April 30, VoABot II twice reverted anonymous corrections of vandalism to the article John Paul Jones back to the (signed) vandalised version. If VoABot were human, it would be facing a 24-hour block about now... David Trochos (talk) 18:03, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Also agreed ! Hethurs (talk) 23:55, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Nonsense. They were not "anonymous corrections of vandalism". They were vandalisms in their own right: [1] and [2]. The fact that these reversions left earlier vandalism [3] untouched is immaterial. Philip Trueman (talk) 15:55, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

The same thing happened with the Nike_(mythology) article. The bot kept reverting to the vandalized page because people were trying to revert the vandalizm to a page that had sample text in it. Clearly the article, despite sample text, is better than the vandalism. Perhaps it should remove the sample text instead of reverting? Nevakee11 (talk) 08:48, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Edit mistake

Could you please explain what this bot edits under? Cheers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Juggedhair (talk • contribs) 21:51, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

170.158.88.114

User:170.158.88.114 has vadalised yet another article. Please give this user another warning. Thanl you. Mooncrest (talk) 21:53, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

My userpage

If you look at my userpage, you will notice it has a section called "vandalize page here." An IP vandalized it but the edits got reverted by your bot. Is there any way to prevent the bot from reverting vandalism to this section? Someone the Person (talk) 23:35, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

There might be?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.201.173.74 (talk) 23:24, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Accusations of vandalism

I am not editing or vandalizing anything. I don't log in often and I do not edit pages that often except for minor misspellings —Preceding unsigned comment added by Happathyapathy (talk • contribs) 14:24, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Checkuser overhall

I'm told that you're overhaling the checkuser interface, and that you've solicited suggestions. I'd like to point you to my checkuser related feature requests. They're filed on Mediawiki's bugzilla, bugs 9858, 12808, 13611, and 14189. Raul654 (talk) 03:30, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

I wouldn't say "overhauling". Won't be as big as last time, but some serious improvements and feature additions could be made. Also see mw:User:Voice_of_All/todo. Aaron Schulz 03:45, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi, please can you tell me where I can now find this? Robert C Prenic (talk) 14:37, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

IP Vandalism

Can you help me by telling me the procedure to handle probable vandalism by the IP address: 85.185.237.3 He/She repeatedly inserts Iranian, born in Iran etc in the Rumi article which is (although not entirely false looking at it in a particluar way) totally out of context. Thank you.--Shahab (talk) 07:32, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
