| Bluebot has received 8 complaints in 70,000 edits. One of these was due to a very minor mistake which was fixed immediately, another was not really a mistake, all it did was change an existing mistake to a slightly less wrong mistake. Another time I forgot to mention on the bot page that Bluebot was going to do some different work (although I had mentioned it in other places). All the other complaints were factually inacurrate, and due to what I would term botophobia; sometimes people complained that Bluebot made edits it simply hadn't made, and checking the edit history proves this, two other times it made minor changes that have community consensus, yet some editors seem to think I need ''their'' individual approval before making changes to an article. | |||

Deactivated This bot is no longer active on Misplaced Pages. Misplaced Pages editing bot run by Bluemoose | This user account is a bot operated by Bluemoose (talk).

Administrators: if this bot is making edits that appear to be unassisted to pages not in the operator's or its own userspace, please block it. |
