Little bot glitch?

Hi, James, I just noticed this bot edit. Shouldn't the bot have removed the entire entry, including the vandal's attack report and Alex's comment? In the meantime Alex already has removed the entry, so it's no big deal, but I thought you might want to know. - Cheers - DVdm (talk) 08:28, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

It's because it saw the {{ipvandal}} template there, I believe. I'll continue to monitor, but I think it's just an isolated occurence :) — JamesR ^(talk) 09:22, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

Ah yes, perhaps I should have used the {{checkip}} template instead. That makes sense. Will do next time. Thanks. - DVdm (talk) 09:39, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

No worries. All the best. — JamesR ^(talk) 09:49, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

Well they are working, but they do seem to stall for a a few hours. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 21:01, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

About the protection of The Prime Minister of Australia

Somebody made an edit just before you protected it, could you revert it to my last edit? Cheers, camerontregan^talk 12:25, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

All done, we can't have it updated until the PM has been sworn in officially. — JamesR ^(talk) 12:26, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

User:Crtew/Marcel Legré

Just wanted to let you know I undid your deletion of User:Crtew/Marcel Legré. Although it was a U1 request, the page had been edited by multiple editors, and as you can see from User talk:Crtew#User:Crtew/Marcel Legré, the contents of that page was copied into another Wikipedia draft page. Therefore, this page needs to be kept for attribution reasons. Singularity42 (talk) 23:51, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

AdminStatsBot

Hi, James,
I had a question about AdminStatsBot. I see that it is updated hourly but is it cumulative? When did it start collecting data? 2005? 2008? 2010? Although a lot of these Admins are inactive, it's interesting to look at the variance in how different Admins focused on different administrative actions. Thanks for any information you can provide!
