What did i write offensive? Craigmatthews22 (talk) 19:39, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

@Craigmatthews22: You removed the entire infobox and lead sentence of the article without explanation or discussion, which ClueBot correctly identified as vandalism. This was after this edit, which was clearly vandalism. Please don't do it again. General Ization Talk 19:56, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

Block notices added to articles

I'd like to request that when someone adds a block notice to an article, like this this or this, that Cluebot NG catch it and revert. –Fredddie 18:01, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Why not either use the edit filter or update the template to not subst in a non-user talk namespace? ClueBot NG doesn't work on filters, but rather on a trained artificial neural network. If you want to catch it, the edit filter is a better solution. -- Cobi(t|c|b) 18:16, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Not counted as a bot in Recent Changes

In Recent Changes, it's not counted as a bot and thus is not hidden when it edits. RotubirtnoC (talk) 22:34, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

Cannot report a false positive

Hello. Being an "anonymous" user, I have modified the "Pokki" page. I was aware of this "Pokki" software after it infected my computer and started modifying the start page etc. The natural response is to search on internet "what is pokki". And comes this Wikipedia page, nicely written and as if it is a normal another software. They are using Wikipedia to give some credibility to their spyware/virus.

Anyways, I have modified the page only to see that this bot has reverted back my changes for a possible vandalism. Also on my talk page there is a message which explains how to report any problem with this bot. I have done that, but when I click to report, I come to a page which does not allow me to save/post my feedback.

What am I doing wrong? If I keep being overridden by this bot, is it possible someone else please modify that page? It is so much misleading! Best. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.210.238.38 (talk) 17:37, 16 February 2016 (UTC)


ClueBot III not archiving my page.

Hi there. Ever since ClueBot III came back up from when it was taken down, it hasn't been archiving my talk page posts. Is this an error, or does it not archive discussions that exceed the age that I've set. Newer discussions however aren't being archived either. Can a bot operator please look into this? Many thanks!

Hi, it's already being investigated.--5 albert square (talk) 01:11, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
Ok, I hope it is working properly soon! Class455fan1 (talk) 20:24, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
Me too. Thanks and all the best, Miniapolis 23:34, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
Just chiming in here; CB3 is also not archiving my talk page. In case it helps with bug fixing. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 21:08, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Word catching

Is there any way to set the bot to catch instances of vandalism such as this, or would it be easier to modify an existing edit filter. It's not a huge loss, but that vandalism was there for almost six months, without anyone catching it. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 07:04, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

Weird...

I added a "shared ip (gov)" template to an ip user talk page. Shortly after, this bot removed the template while at the same time adding a warning template. What's up with that...? - theWOLFchild 21:46, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

@Thewolfchild: It looks like the bot made that edit one second after you made yours, which probably overrode your changes accidentally. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 01:00, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
Ah, ok. Thanks. - theWOLFchild 01:27, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

SHREYA GHOSHAL edits

Please don't talk rubbish about me. I only add useful information on Shreya Ghoshal's page. Like I updated Labels, Popularity Section and sometimes corrects the grammar. Zafar24 (talk) 05:14, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

@Zafar24: I'm sorry, what? Please read the notices at the top of this page. The only edit the bot made on the page recently was this, and it had nothing to do with you. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 12:23, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
