Hi, VOA. I know that you have your own bot called VOABOT II that is similar to AntiVandalBot's functions. I have been pretty busy to study for final exam in my school. Today, when I came back to Wikipedia after wikibreak on final exam, I saw some wikipedian user Twinklefluff to revert vandalisms. In my opinion, Twinklefluff is similar to Popups, but I don't know about Twinklefluff too much. Could you please explain what is Twinklefluff? Please reply in my talk page. Cheers!

User Rights
I recently removed you non-admin rollback because I had found one that has all the new "uw-" warning in it. However, it also removed the dollar sign button that shows the user's rights where the "edit this page" and "move", and all the other tabs are. Is there a way to get this back? Also, I lost my UTC clock also, so I tried your standalone version, but it doesn't seem to be working for me.j --TeckWizTalk Contribs@ 01:23, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
- Actually that comes from the history js script. Voice-of-All 18:13, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
Bot Edit to Kimveer Gill
It looks like the text of another article was substituted for this one, instead of an apparently intended reversion.[1] Something very wrong here. I reverted back to the previous version; there is a content dispute and revert war, but does not appear to be vandalism. Kablammo 14:13, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
- Some other incidents of bot gone wild (in these cases, actual article vandalism "reverted" by substitution of warnings or irrelevant text): [2], [3], and [4]. All fixed now. Kablammo 14:54, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
- It looks like the "oldid" value from the query API lead to talk pages (or other random pages). Also, you can go to a page in edit mode, with "oldid" equal to some revision ID for another page and save it, which is kind of weird. It now uses "revid" which should work.

Brett Favre Page Issue
Hi Voice for all, user Jaranda and again protected the Brett Favre page, could you please unprotect it, he keeps saying his reason is banned user returned and he has now banned user BrettFavre4Ever who added citations and extra stats and references than before, there are multiple errors to the page that user BrettFavre4Ever has corrected, but Jaranda has reverted back, he's vandalised the page, he doesn't own the page and he's reverting and removing citations that belong there, check BrettFavre4Ever 's edits, they are all helpful with no deleting of good material, he's added citations and corrected spelling, check the edits he made, he has appealed his ban, but the Brett Favre page should be unprotected, but everytime you do it, Jaranda protects it, the only one vandalising the page is Jaranda, and I was hoping you could do something about it by unprotecting the Brett Favre page and un banning BrettFavre4Ever, Thanks, BarryBonds2500Walks
Your robot
Made a mistake at Postmodern Literature--I took out nonsense letters, and the robot put them back. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MsHyde (talk • contribs) 05:42, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
Twice, actually. Here are some diffs that you'll probably want, VoA: [5], [6]. Hope that helps. Best, Heimstern Läufer 05:49, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
- Fixed now. This was due to a right/left extraction error from a regexp I switched to to gain some speed. Unfortunetely it as flipping the right/left sides due the the way split() was working. I switched back to the old way. Sorry. Voice-of-All 17:15, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Edits to Playboy Riots
I recently received the following message:
"Your recent edit to Playboy Riots (diff) was reverted by automated bot. The edit was identified as adding either vandalism, link spam, or test edits to the page. If you want to experiment, please use the sandbox. If this revert was in error, please contact the bot operator. Thanks! // VoABot II 15:16, 29 January 2007 (UTC)"
What I had wanted was to include the "Playboy Riots" in the article "The Playboy of the Western World", as had been proposed on the "Playboy of the...." page. I also described on the "Playboy of the Western World" discussion page what I had done. I was unaware that I as a user was not authorized to make such a merging of two articles. (My English WP username is lumendelumine, by the way.) 213.47.61.143 15:42, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

RC patrol tools on Opera
Hi, i've been using your RC patrol tools for some time and they've been quite useful. But after you made changes to it recently, the "Revert" options no longer show up in Opera. I checked, and they work fine on Firefox and IE. Any way you could fix them so they sork on Opera again? Thanks. --snowolfD4( talk / @ ) 16:24, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
RC Script template changes
A quick query. I use your non-admin RC script which is excellent but I was wondering how I could update the warning templates in the top tabs to the new ones. I feel I should use the new ones but obviously it's much easier to just click a button instead of keeping the table open: I never can remember all the different template names! Thankyou for your help, and a great tool and sorry if I've missed this elsewhere. --Farosdaughter 16:54, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
- I love your script, but I'm wondering about the new warnings too. If you've already addressed this, direct me to your FAQ. Thanks! Katr67 02:46, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
Disabling popups by default in your monobook
Hi, VOA. First off, thanks a million for the blood, sweat and tears that you put into those custom js and css and sharing them with everyone. I was wondering if you'd tell me (a total code ignoramus) how I could disable popups by default? I keep selecting the "disable popups" function on the popups when they appear, and although they go away on that page, every time a new page is loaded they come right back. Thanks for your time, A Train take the 06:17, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
- If you disable them completely, how do you get them back? Also, you could disable them completely by removing the code in your Monobook.js. Do you need help with that? Will (Talk - contribs) 06:22, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
- I do indeed need help with that, and frankly don't want the popups back. I should be ashamed, right? Good, because I am. :) Your help would be greatly appreciated. A Train take the 06:33, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Warn the vandal, not the reverter
Your bot warned ME for this – Qxz 07:22, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
VOA
Hey VOA do you know what causes this error because when I use popups and I use the "rv" button ,I get this error message "Script Error" and also afetr the reversion the reversion looks like this in the Edit Summary "(Revert to revision 107857377 dated (unknown) by (unknown) using popups)"..Do you know what might be wrong??.--Cometstyles 21:01, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
You have edited the article Islamic socialism. This article is currently being considered for deletion under the wp:afd process. You may contribute to this discussion by commenting here. Thank you. Edivorce 01:30, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
VOA bot at WP:RFPP
Your bot removed an active discussion along with the completed discussions. (It was subsequently restored.) —Doug Bell talk 01:09, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
- It did it again (to Carlos Mencia both times). I'll have to block the bot if does it again. —Doug Bell talk 01:23, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
Bot edit to WDOH
I am not sure why it reverted that page, but the edit was quite good. Infoboxes were added and much more content was added. Just wanted to make you aware of this bad edit.--K8TEK 17:49, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
- Definitely a good edit. This was due to an all caos second person word regexp, which I've now made more specific. Voice-of-All 02:44, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
Possible bugfix
Greetings! Thanks for your work on this most excellent bot. Could you have a look at this diff [8] and see if you can figure out why the bot made the version back to a vandal edit? Nothing is immediately obvious to me. Cheers, and thanks again for your work on this. Antandrus (talk) 18:19, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
Question about warning scripts.
I wanted to know if you knew how to add additional "warning scripts" to the tabs. Warnings such as "non notable biography" for when someone makes a non-notable biography and I add a speedy deletion to it etc. Here's my monobook JS file to give you an idea of what I mean.

U2 edit
Hi, I'm sure your bot's intentions were good (do bots have intentions?), but it reverted my edit to U2, in which I added a reference -- see [10]. Wikipedia brown 22:58, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
- I've made some more code changes, and debugging the diffs shows that it would not revert those changes currently. Voice-of-All 02:39, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
Useless bot
I had yet another "warning" from your bot today. Again, no, I don't think so. Either fix it or turn it off completely, please, because it isn't helping. Thanks – Qxz 11:04, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
Error with your bot
Hi, take a look at this edit your bot made. If you see the edit summary, you will notice that it mentions the wrong username, Cydebot (talk · contribs) instead of Empire Earth DUDE!! (talk · contribs), as well as including some HTML that probably shouldn't be there. It might be worth mentioning that Cydebot is the author of the revision the bot reverts to. The bot then proceeds to warn Cydebot instead of the user who actually made the edit. Tra (Talk) 16:55, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
