What the hell dude

You call yourself a lover wiki I say NAY SIR NAY. I tried to edit a page about some American football guy. I am sure you dont even know who he is but in 1992 he won a hiesman. His name is gino toretta. And I wanted to add that he freaken plays poker onbodog.com now and ur stupid bot say nay sir nay. Will to you sir I say nay!

Congratulations

You're now an admin. Have fun using the new tools to help the project. Be conservative using the tools especially at first, and re-read the relevant policies before taking action. I'm sure you'll do fine, but don't hesitate to ask questions if you're unsure. Again, congrats - Taxman ^Talk 21:55, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Great Job! Have a good time Admining, I've got someone else to look up to now ;) HawkerTyphoon 21:57, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations! I had a look through your edits when you were nominated for adminship. You seem to be a civil and fair user, and will make a great admin I am sure!! Well done! Abcdefghijklm 22:17, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to the crowd :) -- Tawker 22:18, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Belated congratulations! Arise, Sir Joshbuddy! CaptainVindaloo ^{t c e} 01:26, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Finally... Wondered how long it'd take. :) 69.145.123.171 ^Hello! Tuesday, June 27, 2006, 02:22 (UTC)

Congrats, Joshbuddy! I'll annoy you in IRC later. :) ~Kylu (u|t) 02:31, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

:(! It happened when I was out! I was supposed to be the first person to congratulate you! Jude (talk) 13:30, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Could you take a look?

I had an idea, which I've been discussing on CVU, but I would need some serious programming help to implement it. It would basically be cooperative vandalism to reduce overlap, details are here any thoughts you had would be appreciated. Crazynas 05:09, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

it wasn't like I was trying to circumvent you after all I did leave a message here about the same idea. Do you want to help me with programming this and/or can I have vandalbot's code so I can work on it myself :). Crazynas ^t 05:12, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Congraulations!

Hi there Joshbuddy, we've never run across each other- I'm familiar with Tawker. I voted a weak oppose on your adminship, and I hope you understand my reasoning. I look forward to seeing you more pro-active in the project now that trust has been given to you with the keys to the castle. I have never had reservations about your use of the sysop tools, and I anticipate asking you for help :) Teke 03:31, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for reverting the blanking of my userpage. If you aren't already, you might want to keep an eye on User:68.254.182.131, as they have already earned several vandalism warnings today. Thanks again, romarin [talk ] 20:09, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Your recent edit to Talk:Main Page

(Moved from Moriori's talk page, for continuity)

Please do not remove content from Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. joshbuddy, talk 20:36, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Look before you leap. I removed nothing from the talk page. I noted vandalism on the page and intended to revert to the last good edit made at 09:16 by User:Malo. However, it reverted to the last version by User:67.101.36.212. As soon as I noticed this, I again tried to revert to the Malo edit, and got an edit conflict which was obviously User: Punctured Bicycle cleaning up. Moriori 20:57, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

ctawkbot / ctawkbot2

both are behaving weird and not responding properly so ive set cydebot to no share to take over (tried the usual like reader resets and now joy), and as tawkers away could you reset them? cheers Benon 22:58, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Just to let you know joshbuddy, all tawkerbot2's are down at the moment :( Benon 11:16, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

RFA = AFD?

Just noticed that you referred to your RfA as an AfD (!) here. I guess you were successfully deleted. Congrats! Λυδαcιτγ 15:42, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Discussion about TB2 notices underway

Just to let you know that there is a discussion currently underway to propose having TB2 and AVB post their vandalism alerts directly to the main AIAV page. Since you are responsible for the bot, I figured you might want to be involved in the discussion. :) - TexasAndroid 14:19, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Python

where/how did you learn python. Please respond on my talk page. GangstaEB (sliding logs~dive logs) 01:17, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

JW assessment team

thanks for sic'ing your bot on Fred Franz. in a high office overlooking brooklyn, somebody is cursing maniacally. and they are probably not smoking a cigar :) --PopeFauveXXIII 07:41, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

AVB as part of a diploma thesis

Hello Joshbuddy,

my name is Robert Gerling and i am student of "Mediasystems" at the Bauhaus University Weimar, Germany (http://www.uni-weimar.de/cms/webis.69.0.html). I have already tried to contacted you via email, but you didn't answer at all so i try it again this way. As the headline tells i'm currently working on my diploma thesis with the baseline of automatic wiki-vandalism detection. Of course i found MartinBot (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:MartinBot) during my inquest. I contacted the user who is responsible for MartinBot, but he seemse to be quit busy with his exame as his userpage tells as well. So i decided to contact you as one of the two persons who developed the AVB code. It would be very pleasing if you could provide me as much information about your bot as your're willing to give. Especially i am interested in the detection rules, because i already have quit similar ideas i think, but i would like to evaluate if the already proper working detection of your bot (and his clones) can be improved some how (may be with well known techniques from the research field of text based information retrieval). I have already studied many vandalism delicts including the resutls of Study1 to build up a taxonomy of wiki-vandalism. With respect to this taxonomy i am building up a test-corpus at the moment including about 900 edit, whereas 250 are vandalism (including data from Study1 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Vandalism_studies/Study1)), to test my ideas of automatic identification of vandalism in future implementations. Is there actually something like a test-corpus you were using during the development of the AVB code? It would be interesting for me to compare my implemtation with yours on my test-corpus or on the corpus you used (if available).

Thank you for your time and hopefully help. I am looking forward to your answer.

Yours --MSSimor 09:20, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

P.S. Sorry for my bad english.

Hey Joshbuddy put this on your page how to make a bot then more people could help.and also include the name above i put info on wikipedia too!you should read what i put on there.and i have a friend called Josh so i was wondering if that was you Josh.

=======================================================

Great work on the JW page. I especially enjoy the reduction work you've been doing. It is a much less daunting read now. Where do you find the time? George 12:57, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Fine work on the Witness Page(s). I had started a similar (but much simpler) page over at wiki how. You might be interested to check it out. http://www.wikihow.com/Become-One-of-Jehovah%27s-Witnesses Unfortunately it was vandalized as well. I had the admings semi-protect it and I even went so far as to have my user name disassociated from it (I did not want to be accountable for where it was headed) At any rate, please check it if you can and add anything you want. I could use a little positive construction for a change. - jstrawn@gmail.com
