Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, but at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Monsters Inc. 2, did not appear to be constructive and has been automatically reverted (undone) by ClueBot NG.

• Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Note that human editors do monitor recent changes to Wikipedia articles, and administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism.
• ClueBot NG produces very few false positives, but it does happen. If you believe the change you made should not have been detected as unconstructive, please read about it, report it here, remove this warning from your talk page, and then make the edit again.
• The following is the log entry regarding this warning: Monsters Inc. 2 was changed by Mgangku (u) (t) ANN scored at 0.962732 on 2011-01-05T23:07:23+00:00 . Thank you. ClueBot NG (talk) 23:07, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

The recent edit you made to User:ClueBot NG/Run constitutes vandalism, and has been reverted. Please do not continue to vandalize pages; use the sandbox for testing. Thank you. tutterMouse (talk) 23:10, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Disabling ClueBot NG

Any specific reason for disabling ClueBot NG? The [lack of an] edit summery does not explain why you had disabled it. A single false positive does not warrant the bot being shut off, if you've done it in response to the Monsters Inc edit. -- SnoFox^(t|c) 23:12, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

He reverted an edit that was supposed to be done, because the redirect was linked to another article instead of its own article. Besides, redirects based on real articles are everywhere, and you don't see a bot going around reverting the edit, the warrant being these edits appearing to not be "constructive". It was not in response to start an edit war, but because the revert was unnecessary. The "[lack of an] edit summary" you're putting up here may be self-explanatory, mainly because it was short, but I had explained why. Mgangku (talk) 23:19, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Just FYI, it should have been reported as a false positive instead of shutting the Bot off.--5 albert square (talk) 23:40, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

(edit conflict) The revert from ClueBot NG indeed may have been unnecessary, but if you look at ClueBot NG's contributions, you can see it makes many more correct reverts. On Wikipedia, many bots follow a 1RR rule -- where anti-vandalism bots such as ClueBot NG will only revert an editor in the same article once in twenty four hours. This disallows false positives such as this one to harm the encyclopedia. Because ClueBot NG follows this rule, you should only revert the bot's bad edit instead of shutting it off entirely, which allows many unconstructive edits go on without ClueBot's judgement. If you wish to improve this specific bot from committing more bad edits like this, you should also report the false positive to the bot's operators. -- SnoFox^(t|c) 23:48, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for the helpful information. I could use it, since I am new and didn't know that ClueBot NG has a false positive page. Mgangku (talk) 21:12, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

Reverting consensual redirects

I've reverted your reversion of the Monsters University redirect. Whether you agree witht he redirection or not, this was done by consensus per the discussion at Talk:Monsters University#Changed to redirect as fails WP:NFF. You're welcome to discuss the issue on the talk page, but please don't revert the page against consensus again. Thanks. - BilCat (talk) 16:25, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
