==Blankings, 9 April, 2006==

== Nomination of [[:Gallifrey]] for deletion ==

1) This bot ("Conversion script") stopped on 19 July, 2002. But recently it woke up again, for 6 minutes, from 08:06-0812 on 9 April, 2006. (According to the User contributions page.) In that time it made 10 non-helpful and unexplained edits, mostly blanking of content, but some look like reversions.

<div class="afd-notice">

<div class="floatleft" style="margin-bottom:0;">[[File:Ambox warning orange.svg|48px|alt=|link=]]</div>A discussion is taking place as to whether the article [[:Gallifrey]] is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to [[Wikipedia:List of policies and guidelines|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]] or whether it should be [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deleted]].

The article will be discussed at '''[[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gallifrey]]''' until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

2) Cool, one bit of damage done by "Conversion script" was immediately reverted by another bot, "Tawkerbot2". "Tawkerbot2" explained its edit AND left the following note here for "Conversion script". (It was not entirely obvious in context because the message lacks a greeting. It's a little confusing because "Tawkerbot2" doesn't know that it is talking to another bot.)

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.<!-- Template:Afd notice --></div> [[User:Pokelego999|Has one ever considered Magneton?

Your recent edit to [[Manual transmission]] 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 our apologies – if you bring it to the attention of the bot's owner, we may be able to improve its behavior.

::I think so, after all, it made no [[Special:Contributions/Conversion script|edits after 2002]], then in 2006 it started blanking pages. Also, at first (while blanking) it made no edit summaries, then it started leaving the previous types. So yes, I think it was compromised. [[User:Polonium|Polonium]] 19:03, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

(Old news.) See the History page for [[Transuranic element]], which is a redirect page. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Transuranic_element&action=history http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Transuranic_element&action=history]<br>

15:51, 25 February 2002 Conversion script (Talk) m (Automated conversion)<br>

This changed <nowiki>"#REDIRECT [[transuranium element]]"</nowiki> to <nowiki>"#REDIRECT [[Transuranium element]]"</nowiki>

Every appearance of a pointless edit, something bots are not supposed to do.

This edit has the added disadvantage of being the second edit of a redirect page, which blocks the Move operation from moving the target page onto the redirect page. Did this bot ever do anything constructive? -[[User:Whiner01|Whiner01]] 06:59, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

==Unreferenced BLPs==

[[File:Information.svg|30px]] Hello Conversion script! Thank you for your contributions. I am a [[WP:BOT|bot]] alerting you that '''2''' of the articles that you created are tagged as[[Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons#Sources| Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons]]. The [[WP:BLP|biographies of living persons]] policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure [[WP:VERRIFY|verifiability]], all biographies should be based on [[WP:RELIABLE|reliable sources]]. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current ''[[:Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs|{{PAGESINCATEGORY:All_unreferenced_BLPs}}]]'' article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{tl|unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

# [[Kathryn H. Kidd]] - <small>{{findsources|Kathryn H. Kidd}}</small>

# [[Ugo Nespolo]] - <small>{{findsources|Ugo Nespolo}}</small>
