The bot reverted an edit of a release date for the port of Half-Life Deathmatch. The original version said it was released 21 days ago, on May 2, 2006. I have been playing this game for quite a bit longer than 21 days. It is an undisputed fact that the game was released on November 30th, 2004. The article is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/Half-Life ; and the date is under the "Later Developments" heading.

== Invitation to participate in a research ==
=='''I need your advice on my edits on Khatri article'''==


Hello,
I made some edits to the khatri article twice but they were reverted both times by Moderator3000. One was correcting a link to surname called Seth. The other was about Walias (which I linked) also being also called Ahluwalias.


The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Misplaced Pages, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this ''''''.
Both these modifications are valid but they are being reverted both the times. I don't know if Moderator3000 is an official moderator of Misplaced Pages or is just doing what he seems fit.


You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

Hello,

I recently invited you to take a survey about administration on Misplaced Pages. If you haven’t yet had a chance, there is still time to participate– we’d truly appreciate your feedback. The survey is anonymous and should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its ] and view its ].
We have RSS and atom feeds. I dunno what else you mean. We don't have IRC. That would be our RSS feed. I hope you can work with that. ~~U

Sorry about that. I think I know what happened. I must have been reverting edits to a page at the same time as Tawkerbot was and Tawkerbot got there first so VandalProof took me to Tawkerbot's talk page and I edited there without noticing until after. ] 22:23, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Weird game, huh? I dunno what happened there, but I think the only guys in that game who WEREN'T smoking anything funny were the Oilers.

Hi Tawker. This guy {{vandal|68.100.101.128}} was blocked by three different people for three different times.

== An idea for Tawkerbot2 ==

Hi Tawker! I have an interesting idea for Tawkerbot2. I've noticed that sometimes it catches new users blanking articles that they created themselves.

:Sorry to butt-in here, but I think Tawkerbot2 already has some of this functionality. One example of this that I saw was ].

I'm curious, Tawker, does it do this every single time an author blanks a page in which s/he was the sole contributor? ]] | ] 19:53, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

::Awesome! It already does it...the ones I'm thinking of are probably the more tricky cases where another Wikipedian beats the bot at adding a tag or such. Can we do something, say, if the article has less than 5 edits, and if all all edits are just tags or blanking, the bot will tag it as a speedy? --] 19:54, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

The current criteria will db author if the only editor on a page blanks it, if any other editor kicks in it won't do it. For sure the latter criteria is possible, It's on the Tawkerbot2 revision 3 list :) -- ] 20:25, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
