Volvo Penta

The bot removed a valuable link for Volvo Penta. The information provided in the link was produced by Volvo to describe the inner workings and benefits of their revolutionary engine. This is the world’s first reverse direction marine engine and it’s very popular, please consider this relevant link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volvo_Penta

Aimspambot reverted me fix it!

Incorrect spam link?

Spambot removed a Ytmnd reference which was an incorrect move, this time. In my opinion. See here. I know, there is a great deal of rubbish on Ytmnd, but a few entries are actually pure gold. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.73.204.51 (talk) 23:15, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

(3rd July 2007) This is posted somewhere else, so appologies if you come across it twice! I was trying to add a link to a new interview on the Ariel Pink page, and it got flagged and destroyed for some reason http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Ariel_Pink&diff=142105749&oldid=140621911 It's most certainly not a spam link. It's a reputable online magazine much the same as every other music/band-link on here. Thanks so much for your time!

I posted in the "Popular culture part" a reference to the Placebo song "Brick Shithouse" with a link to the lyrics. I also pointed out the origins of that metaphorical phrase, with a real link to the urban dictionary. Your antispam bot got rid of that, and some other links to Wikipedia articles. None of this was copyrighted material. They were all real links.

Was not a spam link!

I posted links to tour maps for several bands, this is a nice supplement to the info on those bands as you can find out when they are playing near you. It got reverted: http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:24.107.232.51&redirect=no

I reviewed the policies on spam links and found nothing that would explain the reversion except perhaps if I added too many links in a day. There is no login or registration required, the info is current reliable and useful. I would appreciate if these tour-map links could be placed on the whitelist so I could add a few more.

I posted an external link in the Fl Studio article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FL_Studio) linking to a very good flash tutorial hosted on Newgrounds.COM, but because it's on Newgrounds.COM, the link was removed for being spam. Please re-consider.

Was not a spam link!

Hey ShadowBot honey the Avant Punk Army may be on Myspace but it's inf;luence to the Bizarro scene is direct! My Edit: [1] And I will add that those are not my doing but the links to "The New Absurdist" are not spam either! That mag is well recognize among the Bizarro culture! Thank you! I love you Wiki God!! xox

I posted in the "Popular culture part" of the article on Outhouse a reference to the Placebo song "Brick Shithouse" with a link to the lyrics. I also pointed out the origins of that metaphorical phrase, with a real link to the urban dictionary. Your antispam bot got rid of that, and some other links to Wikipedia articles. None of this was copyrighted material. They were all real links. Please reconsider.

Your bot wiped out an entire infobox

My apologies. The bot was doing its job by removing an imageshack link. Shadow1 (talk) 11:56, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Re:Chandra Wilson interview.

Hi, I asked a couple of questions last week. I was wondering if you had any answers for me. Below is the original text. Thanks!

The creation of the category 'Mortal Status', under Jack Bauer

The bot automatically deleted my small subarticle because of a link to another website, facebook.com. I understand the bot is an automatic processer, however I do implore you to manually read the article and decide for yourself whether or not the link is necessary. Personnally, I think the link is the very essence of the article, as it shows the page where the religion of Bauerism was created. Please do contact me with your answer, which ever way you see it. Thank you.

Edits to Transportation in Albania

in albanian transportation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transportation_in_Albania, the bot deleted all my comments. i dont understand why. I was fixing everything to be more accurate of the time.

The Used Edits

Okay that's fair enough, I didn't realise! Someone has deleted the Australian chart info as well, despite the fact it can clearly be seen on the offcial website which was linked. I've added it back on but I would appreciate if you would doube check and make sure I did it okay, maybe I am missing something.

Edited stadium article

No it looks ok now. As long as it doesnt have just football in the title.

The footage article and it's link for Phantasm V

AntiSpamBot, it would seem that the footage article and it's link for Phantasm V are gone. But I don't see how it's spam related. Can I please put them back to the Phantasm V article?

Reverted edit on Photo sharing

AntiSpamBot reverted my edit [2] which was itself a cleanup and removal and links to photo sharing sites. The purpose of my edit was to replace non notable links to photo sharing sites with wikilinks and web links to notable sites with Wikipedia articles. --Richmeister_talk 17:24, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

rvv rv 2x

My rvv was reverted twice. [3] It's not supposed to fuss twice, whatever it's complaining about. (SEWilco 01:21, 12 November 2007 (UTC))

stop attacking me

This http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Censorship_in_the_United_States&diff=170929045&oldid=170928370 included a website as a reference to a quote. It was in fact copied verbatim from another article in Wikipedia.--74.134.164.46 09:04, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Tell your bot to leave me alone: http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:74.134.164.46&diff=cur

Your bot continues to harrass me. It has now violated the 3 revert rule. http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Censorship_in_the_United_States&action=history

This thing is very hostile. All I'm trying to do is improve an article and I am getting threatened by a bot! http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:74.134.164.46&diff=170929909&oldid=170929686 Whatever happened to WP:BITE

Being a bot is not an excuse for edit warring

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Censorship in the United States. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. – Gurch 11:46, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

The bug has been fixed. Shadow1 (talk) 20:05, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Antispam bot left me an incorrect message

I had the following message: [4] and yet I did not make the edit concerned - mathematics not being my strong point, I steer clear of that area and would never edit such an article.212.32.123.19 16:28, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for the message. It may be that you are using a dynamic IP, and that the message is actually for a user who used the IP before you. You can avoid such messages if you create an account. Hope this explains. --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 16:35, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

self-realization fellowship page-- bot removed link

A link to a facebook group was removed. There are blogs and other online communities listed under external links. This would be considered another online community. Maybe the bot thought it was spam? Can you please put the link back? thanks. Guy 713 19:23, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

That other link are there does not mean that another should be added. Facebook links are seldomly appropriate, as are other blogs, online communities and forums. Hope this explains. --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 19:55, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Incomplete revert

[5]: there were two vandalism edits by the same anon account. IMO a bot must revert all.

I would also suggest that a bot must indicate the user name of the edit it reverts to. Some bots already do this. In this way a bot will not hide a possibly suspicious author in my watchlist. `'Míkka>t 20:43, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
