Clay Serby Article
I deleted the majority of the article as it was taken directly from another website.
Bot made mistake with revision
The bot reverted an edit of a release date for the port of Half-Life Deathmatch. The original version said it was released 21 days ago, on May 2, 2006. I have been playing this game for quite a bit longer than 21 days. It is an undisputed fact that the game was released on November 30th, 2004. The article is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-Life ; and the date is under the "Later Developments" heading.
I need your advice on my edits on Khatri article
I made some edits to the khatri article twice but they were reverted both times by Moderator3000. One was correcting a link to surname called Seth. The other was about Walias (which I linked) also being also called Ahluwalias.
Both these modifications are valid but they are being reverted both the times. I don't know if Moderator3000 is an official moderator of Wikipedia or is just doing what he seems fit.

Highway's RfA
Thank you for supporting/objecting/tropicanising me in my request for Adminship. Although I wasn't promoted to admin status, with a final vote count of 14/27/12, I am very happy with the response I received from my fellow Wikipedians. I was pleasantly suprised at the support, and was touched by it. I will also work harder on preventing disputes and boosting my edit count (which is on the up), so thank you to all your objectors. Hopefully I will re-apply soon and try again for the mop. Thanks again, Highway Rainbow Sneakers
Thanks

Do you have an IRC recent changes feed
We have RSS and atom feeds. I dunno what else you mean. We don't have IRC. http://www.biosector01.com/wiki/index.php?title=Special:Recentchanges&feed=rss That would be our RSS feed. I hope you can work with that. ~~U
Thank-you

The count is in, and now I join the crew who wield the mops and pails.
If you have anything you need, then please don't think to hesitate. |

Devin79
Hi, I'm approaching you as an administrator to get something done about User:Devin79 aka IP adress 68.35.182.234. This user repeatedly vandalises the page Provisional Irish Republican Army and other related pages and has signalled in the talk pages that he intends to keep on doing so.
The problem is that this user is so keen to promote his own point of view that he reverts all the work other editors have done on the article to make sure his contributions are still there. This would be annoying if his contributions were any good. However, in his contributions, he shows very little knowledge of the subject and what is much worse, he makes up false information and cites false sources to support it. See the talk page at PIRA for examples. Not only this, but he repeatedly changes the information supplied by real sources so that they appear to say things that they do not in fact say.
I think that this user has nothing to contribute to wikipedia and should be banned.
61.1.212.240
61.1.212.240 seems to be placing targeted commercial spam, on Peat and Neem Cake. I manually removed the spam in both articles, but am not familiar with the process of warning, automatically reverting, etc. Can you take a look, and make whatever warnings are appropriate?
Scholl
I see you did the speedy; the article still exists at Equendil/Scholl. The / made a subpage, so it was incorrectly listed. Teke 00:52, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
- Nevermind, I see the intent was a userfy. I'm moving it. Teke 00:54, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
Template:User Christian
Can you show me where there was a consensus to delete? The template has been through DRV once (and TFD all in all quite an interesting history even GNAA struges to match it). Nothing saying I can't reuse the last debate.Geni 01:15, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
- Not citing the current DRV.Geni 01:17, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
- The cycle of sd/drv/xfd/repeat really needs to stop, and not just with this template. speedy deletions that are requiring salt seems to be a bit harsh as well. Especially with templates, as the pages using them don't even get a note that they are gone, with a page using many templates many editor may miss the disucussions because they don't notice the change right away; perhaps for userboxes a new {{deletedpage}}template should be used, WITHOUT noincludes, e.g.:
| SALT | This template has been deleted and protected. See deletion review for recreation information. (more) |
What do you think? — xaosflux Talk 04:40, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
- Decent point, as a stacking possibility, though it seems WP:SALT is being used as a hiding mechanism in many of these cases. Damn userboxes :) I see them like I do cartoon neckties, if you don't like them, don't wear them; but they really don't hurt anyone else. — xaosflux Talk 04:48, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
RfC for Tony Sidaway
Hey Tawker, I'm pretty confused about your putting the speedy delete tag at Wikipedia talk:Requests for comment/Tony Sidaway 3 It doesn't seem to meet G1, and I was inder the assumption that if an RfC is really nonsense (which I believe this one is not), it would be thrown out after the 48 hours, when two people don't affirm that they tried to resolve the problem (which has already been done in this case). Just wanted to let you know thought that I've seen your edits and bots and think your a great editor, and hopefully this was just some mistake. See you around, Chuck(척뉴넘) 04:36, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
- Ok, I tagged the wrong page I think, too many tabs open....... (lesson to self don't keep 50 tabs open at once) -- Tawker 04:37, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
- Hahah, no problem...happens to me too. Later, Chuck(척뉴넘) 04:40, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
CSD G1
I have removed your addition of a speedy deletion tag from Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Tony Sidaway 3; the G1 criteria applies to patent nonsense, and explicity excludes coherent contributions, regardless of content. From WP:CSD, General 1: "Patent nonsense, i.e. no meaningful content, unsalvageably incoherent page. This does not include: poor writing, partisan screeds, obscene remarks, vandalism, badly translated material, implausible theories or hoaxes." While you may disagree with the basis of the RfC, it is explicitly not covered under the criteria, and should not be tagged as such. Essjay (Talk • Connect) 04:38, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
- Read Above - too many tabs open... too many tabs -- Tawker 04:40, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
- Why are you tagging speedies anyway...Doesn't your delete tab work? Essjay (Talk • Connect) 04:42, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
- Nope, Alt-D works just fine, there is just the odd time on an A7 where I like a second set of eyes -- Tawker 04:50, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

A sincere thank you
Thank you Tawker -- and to all the other patrolling admins. You have all been real troopers with the heavy load of autoblocks. I realize that my requests for release have been excessive, but I (and my employer) have smoothed things out so I will be able to use the secure connection more easily. Still, it will be nice when all these vandals (perhaps newly out of American schools) can find something better to do with their summer. Best to you. WBardwin 06:59, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
Hello,
An Arbitration case in which you commented has been opened: Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Highways.

Adding to Tawkerbot filter?
Hey Tawker, Regarding Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Spam#We_are_all_looking_forward_to_killing_this_spam my posting about a persistent spammer (probably from zombies or bot net), someone suggested that VoA add the term "fsorward" to his bot; he informed me that his bot wasn't filter-based, but that yours was. What do you think about adding that term? The spam appears to be coming in at a pretty steady pace from a variety of IPs. OhNoitsJamieTalk 21:25, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
User:NedBot's request for bot approval
Um... I thought that only members of the Approvals group could grant permission for the bot flag to be set by bureaucrats? Titoxd(?!? - help us) 07:46, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
- I am also confused, was NedBot approved for usage or a trail run? Can one run a bot without a bot flag (although undesirable)? -- Ned Scott 08:22, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

My RfA
Thank you
A haiku of thanks
- Thanks for your support
- In my RfA, which passed!
- Wise I'll try to be.
Your support, as a fantastic editor and the operator of Tawkerbot2, means a huge amount to me! Thank you so much.
Tawkerbot
I've always thought of Tawkerbot2 as more of a dog myself, since it seems so eager to please. But its seeming level of autonomy (perhaps because of more work than I can even think of behind the scenes) does make it seem more catlike. Mak (talk) 05:23, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
On your reversal of the block on User:Search4Lancer
I feel this was a misconceived unblock. Editors who persistently disrupt Wikipedia after many requests to stop can be blocked. And the block had the desired effect; he has made a serious effort to improve his signature, which was surely one of the worst on the wiki. --Tony Sidaway 17:22, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
Tawkerbot2 blocked
It's playing up and reverting legitimate edits by legitimate users, so I've blocked it. You've probably already spotted that fact. -Splash - tk 18:25, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

I noticed the blocking, but he's already stated that he has multiple accounts. Is it possible to IP ban him or something? -- Diehard2k5 02:40, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
