Clay Serby Article

I deleted the majority of the article as it was taken directly from another website.

Bot made mistake with revision

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.

I need your advice on my edits on Khatri article

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.

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.

Do you have an IRC recent changes feed

We have RSS and atom feeds. I dunno what else you mean. We don't have IRC. http://www.biosector01.com/index.php?title=Special:Recentchanges&feed=rss That would be our RSS feed. I hope you can work with that. ~~U

Thank-you

The count is in, and now I join the crew who wield the mops and pails. Thanks for your support! I pledge to serve both you and Jimbo Wales. If you have anything you need, then please don't think to hesitate. For I am the very model of a grateful admin designate! ♫Bucketsofg✐♪

I love TawkerBot2

Your bot TawkerBot2 is awsome! Thanks for making it. I love how it identifies bad phrases and insults.  :)

Bye --Starionwolf 03:58, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

It's a seven-game series...

...just sayin'. ;) -→Buchanan-Hermit™/!? 05:49, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

If the Oilers win, fine. At least they're not the Flames, which I'm very thankful for -- I wouldn't mind cheering for the Oilers in the Final if they make it (which I hope they don't). -→Buchanan-Hermit™/!? 06:09, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Sorry about that.

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. Beno1000 22:23, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Bad reverts on Princeton High School, Princeton, New Jersey

• Though your bot did a good job at first it then began reverting to the bad edits (with vandalism). If you could work on stuff like that that would be great. --RabidMonkeysEatGrass 00:18, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Collateral damage on 142.22.186.13

No problem, I just repeated the last block I saw on the block log, which, strangely enough, was done by you. I imagine you were in for a bit of a surprise the first time you blocked that IP. ;-) --Deathphoenix ʕ 16:47, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Ah, okay. Too bad that didn't happen, wheel-warring with yourself would have been a thing of beauty. --Deathphoenix ʕ 16:52, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Disambiguation

As I don't have the faintest clue how to go about this, could you create a Disambiguation page to differentiate between Daniel Greene who is an artist and Daniel "Danny" Patrick Greene who was a mobster? Thanks for any help you can offer. IrishGuy 21:26, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Merci beaucoup!

Thank you, Tawker! Thank you for voting for my recent RfA, which passed (to my extreme surprise and shock) with a total tally of 66/15/2. For that, I would like to thank you and offer a helping hand in any admin-related tasks that may be required -- it's as simple as leaving a message on my talkpage. Thanks again! -→Buchanan-Hermit™/!? 22:16, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

"Hair pull"? Well, according to my first grade teacher, that's not a nice thing to do, but you can always try to prove him wrong. Not that I'm suggesting anything. :D -→Buchanan-Hermit™/!? 23:09, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Your Bot Rules!

I actually do not see as much of a need for RC patrolling as I did a few months back. That bot is impressive! Back to my relatively-new wikiproject. Best, Kukini 23:07, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I'm alive. Just not as active. I ought to change it to "Status: Dead". -- WB 01:49, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

EWS23's RfA

Hello Andrew! I was honored to have your "strong support" at my request for adminship. I'm glad you think I know what I'm doing (hopefully I can show that through actions, now!). Thanks again, and if you ever see something that you think I could be doing better, please leave me a message. EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 02:48, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

IRC hockey

I don't do IRC, sorry. I'm strictly an MSN guy, probably because I don't spend that much time chatting.

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. The officiating was crappy for both sides and very inconsistent. I mean, a parade of penalties and then nothing for most of the period? That was a joke, for the Ducks and the Oilers. -→Buchanan-Hermit™/!? 03:10, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

AF Redirect Vandal

It seems to me that it might be more desirable to replace all of those redirects with one of the welcome templates -- is AWB fast enough to do it within a minute of the vandalism? - Saaber 14:32, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Help

User:Rollosmokes has been bothering both me and User:Blueboy96 over the latter's edits to WTNH. I appreciate Blueboy's edits, but Rollosmokes keeps reverting them everytime I revert to Blueboy's version. It is clear to me that Rollosmokes is violating both WP:OWN and WP:STALK, especially the latter since he has reverted edits by Blueboy in the past. In addition, Rollosmokes has left rather rude comments in both my talk page and Blueboy's talk page over the matter: , , in my talk page he told me I acted like a little child. And here is a link to an edit he reverted: I need your help, he is going too far with this whole thing. CoolKatt number 99999 19:04, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Ok, things seem to have calmed down, I sometimes can't respond rapidly, AIV might be the best in that sort of situation -- Tawker 15:02, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

WP:AIV

Please check out WP:AIV I left a reported vandal on there, as you just unblocked them. — xaosflux 21:09, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

CorbinSimpson's Request for Adminship

Gboyega Salami

Hello Tawker. You zapped Gboyega Salami. Would you please also zap Dr Gboyega Salami, a duplicate aricle. Thank you. - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 12:26, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Different block times

Hi Tawker. This guy 68.100.101.128 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) was blocked by three different people for three different times. I believe unless we unblock and then reblock, then three hour time limit will be what happens, so we just need to decide on a length of time. As this is a first offense, I think 31 hours is enough, but I'm open to discussion on this point. :o) EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 19:15, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Show/Hide Sections

Hi Tawker. I noticed that you also use the show/hide frame on your user page. Can you tell me why the frame begins at "hide" on Don Mills Collegiate Institute (Under the Courses section) instead of "show" like your page? Apparently, you have to click twice in that article to show the contents instead of only once for your talk page. Thanks! G.He 00:57, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

My RFA

Thank you for your recent vote on my RFA, regardless of how you voted. I appreciate all votes. I am going to wait until I have more edits in all namespaces. (And also improve answering impossible questions ;). Hopefully one day I will be more sucessful than it was looking, once I meet most user's voting standards. Again, thanks for your time! ~LinuxeristFile:Tux-linux logo.svg E/L/T 02:09, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

All caps summaries

If a summary has all caps, can you make it so tawkerbot2 reverts, just like the recent vandalism to today's F.A.Voice-of-All 05:06, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

An RFA thank you!

Q: A question for Tawker, what could it possibly be...?

A: An RFA thank you, of course! ;)

I guess that really isn't a question... One of these days, I might actually get around to answer all of your questions. Thanks for your support, even though Shanel beat you to the nomination. :-) Jude (talk) 11:03, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Re:Oilers

I don't usually jump on the "Canadian team" bandwagon because I believe that pretty much EVERY team is Canadian (because most NHLers are). However, as I don't the Sabres very much (stems from the '99 Finals), I'll be jumping on the Oilers bandwagon if Carolina doesn't make it. I like Carolina more than Edmonton. :) (Also, some riot in Edmonton last night, huh? They're trying to outdo our 1994 one. ;) ) -→Buchanan-Hermit™/!? 19:06, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Let's hope the Flames fans are reeling after this one. :D -→Buchanan-Hermit™/!? 19:10, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

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. In such instances, would it be possible to program to bot to tag these as speedies instead? Some refinements would be needed...just an idea. --HappyCamper 19:46, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Sorry to butt-in here, but I think Tawkerbot2 already has some of this functionality. One example of this that I saw was Duckbear. When the author blanked it, Tawkerbot2 automatically added {{db-author}}. I'm curious, Tawker, does it do this every single time an author blanks a page in which s/he was the sole contributor? EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 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? --HappyCamper 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 :) -- Tawker 20:25, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Yippee!! :-) --HappyCamper 20:26, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

WikiBot Details

Hello, Tawker. Thank you for posting information to help me on the Wiki-bot talk page. I just have a few additional questions I wish to ask you. Does a robot run on a Misplaced Pages server, or on a private computer? If so: How does one create a robot like you have? Do you know of any way to create a robot on the Windows XP platform? Thank you for your time! - MoleculeUpload 22:46, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
