Reverted? edit

Hi, I was just wondering why i was reverted when I thought categories were just for categorising articles? TheJC TalkContributions 06:07, 28 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Replied on IRC -- Tawker 17:17, 28 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
Ahm I think i might have just reverted the same vandalism as the bot - sorry about the warning. ViridaeTalk 12:52, 28 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
Ok, I'll just go and strike the warning, I get way too many of those, though people are getting better :) -- Tawker 17:17, 28 June 2006 (UTC)Reply


Clemson class destroyer edit

Your bot reverted a legitimate clean-up edit. I would just go back and re-do it, but then your bot would probably revert it again, and .... So how do we fix this? --Russ Blau (talk) 16:27, 28 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

  • Oh, now that I've read your user page, I see that you won't (usually) re-revert the same edit twice, so I guess all I need to do is restore my previous edit. --Russ Blau (talk) 16:31, 28 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

edit summary did not match edit edit

Hi -- I just found a place where the bot's edit summary didn't match the actual edit. The edit summary for this edit says "BOT - rv 66.67.104.3 (talk) to last version by Tony Fox" but this is the actual diff between the bot's version and the last version by Tony Fox. -- Antaeus Feldspar 17:25, 29 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Vandal Messages edit

Whatever happened to leaving warning templates on vandals' talk pages? — Ilyanep (Talk) 03:20, 29 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

It was broken for a bit (we had a broken prop shaft), now it's fixed :) -- Tawker 05:55, 29 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
Okey doke :) — Ilyanep (Talk) 21:03, 30 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

RVto WAP edit

Your Rv to WAP introduces a whole lot of problems, one is it becomes a circular redirect. Please discuss on relevant discussion page first. Ex nihil 01:48, 8 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Archives @ User talk:Tawkerbot4/archives

I'm trying to delete WEXP-AM (disambiguation.  It's unnecessary, but your bot keeps saying I'm vandalizing!

Thank you for experimenting with the page Rage Against the Machine on Wikipedia. Your test worked, and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: link. If you believe this edit should not have been reverted, please contact me. Richard Harvey 10:05, 8 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

I have just used VP to rollback vandalism on Rage Against the Machine your bot has immediately issued a warning against me on vandalism? can you clear that off my history please? It is possible, looking at the time frame, that tawkerbot just beat me to a rollback and that my rollback caught Tawkerbot, issueing the above warning, who then warned me, assumig my rollback to be vandalism?

Nice work edit

Nice work last night on reverting vandalism at University of Texas at Austin - thank you! Johntex\talk 20:01, 8 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Revert without warning edit

Why didn't T4 warn a user after making this revert? CaptainVindaloo t c e 18:25, 8 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

It only warns on the first and 4th edits, maybe its an interwarn edit -- Tawker 23:59, 8 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
It was definitely the first edit, did the same here (Runescape again). Oh, and nice to finally meet you, Tawker! :-) CaptainVindaloo t c e 00:32, 9 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
Hmmm (/me goes to check the database) -- Tawker 19:15, 9 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Tawkerbot4 failure at Judaism edit

Hi Tawker,

You might want to look at the chain of edits/reverts that happened over at Judaism on 10 July 2006 [1]. Tawkerbot4 didn't catch the vandalism, but it did catch the resulting blanking of the then offensive article. I'm not sure what you can do about it because all blanking would look like vandalism to any bot.

Cheers,  Netsnipe  (Talk)  11:24, 10 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Got told off for rv vandalism edit

I got told off by Tawker for reverting vandalism on another bots talk page! See my talk page for details.--Andeh 14:04, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Category:Vietnamese art edit

I can see how my change would look like vandlism. One thing it could check for, the version I reverted had orphaned the category, and mine restored its parents. Also note, when discussing categories, you have to add the colon after the two open square brackets. -- ProveIt (talk) 18:35, 12 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Please control this bot or stop using it edit

This bot reverted a perfectly good edit (and one which was designed to head of improper conduct by another user at that). If it isn't reliable, please stop using it. Chicheley 21:37, 13 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Umm, no diff, no way I can check it out. The TB's are pretty damn accurate considering the number of edits it does in a day (something like 500 reverts on any given day) - it's something like 98% accurate. Most humans are about that accurate, they make mistakes too and the bot doesn't have a POV :) -- Tawker 21:46, 13 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

good job edit

I was reading the 'anime' article and noticed vandalism. I decided to register as a user in order to revert the article, but before I figured out how to get the job done Tawkerbot4 did it. Good job! ps- what's the tawkercat? OckRaz 12:00, 15 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Incorrrect for once edit

Tawkerbot4 just reverted an edit to Breaking Benjamin, uncensoring something. The edit was to change a quote of ****ing to 'fucking', citing that Wikipedia is not censored for minors. Tawkerbot reverted this, and I had to revert Tawkerbot's edit. I can see why it happened though - an IP user, inserting a swear word, changing only one word. Well done on the success rate so far though, I often see one of Tawkerbot's brothers around on my RC patrolling! —Vanderdecken ξφ 12:19, 16 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Your edit to Carnot heat engine edit

Your recent edit to Carnot heat engine (diff) was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to recognize and repair vandalism to Wikipedia articles. If the bot reverted a legitimate edit, please accept my humble creator's apologies – if you bring it to the attention of the bot's owner, we may be able to improve its behavior. Click here for frequently asked questions about the bot and this warning. // Tawkerbot4 20:58, 16 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

This was a legitimate edit; it was a move from Carnot heat engine to Carnot cycle as suggested by someone else. See: Talk:Carnot heat engine. Thanks:--Sadi Carnot 22:08, 16 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
Cut and paste move, I've fixed it for you -- Tawker 22:54, 16 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

False positive edit

here - already reverted. (ESkog)(Talk) 18:47, 17 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Ok, not sure how I coulda stopped that one, as the category was basically pulled to zippo -- Tawker 21:13, 17 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Air India edit

Why do you keep on changing Air India's fleet number to 125? The correct number is 41...If you scroll down you can see that they operate a fleet of 41 aircraft not 125! If the correct number is 125, please tell me the source.--Dk16 13:51, 21 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Categories edit

If the bot gives a warning about an edit to a category, it needs to add a colon to the category title. See [2] for example. Kappa 23:48, 25 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
