Bot may be inaccurate/malfunctioningYour bot reverted this edit, even though the links (which were example.com) that weren't in my version were spamming. Honestly, I'm starting to wonder who's the spammer. Me, or your bot. (ironicly, it blocks example.com) 98.226.32.129 (talk) 05:32, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
Monty Python's Official YouTube ChannelMonty Python has started their official online video channel on YouTube and that should be reflected in their page -- Monty Python and in Monty Python Mediagraphy, this channel is legally started by the creators of that content. So, this is no copyright violation. Can you please set this exception to the bot and allow the link -- http://www.youtube.com/user/MontyPython to be posted!? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ravi (talk • contribs) 07:52, 20 November 2008 (UTC) facebook/myspace linksare these not allowed to be added when they are the official pages owned by a channel?

For an Awesome Bot!
Adding a link to WikipediaI would like the link for the official myspace page of New Oxford, Pa Official Myspace page of New Oxford, Pa The page has been up for some time, and is used by many of New Oxford's residents past and present.

updating linkI attempted to update a link to one of my articles. I did not list that article, but the link which is there goes to a now defunct webpage. (AOL went out of the web hosting business.) The current link for the exact same article is http://mysite.verizon.net/nhindman/research/large.pdf . If it is not possible (or somehow unethical -- though I can't imagine how) to update the link, then at least the old one should be eliminated.

Not all Flickr Group Pages are illegitamateI'm new to wikipedia, but I had a link reverted by this bot recently that I disagree with. I added a group page from Flickr.com to an article about The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:98.211.129.152 ) The group page was designed to showcase work by students at that school. So while the bot seems to think of it as spam or a "personal promotion" because it is on a popular social network, it is actually relevant to the page because it features only work that comes out of that particular school's students and faculty. Am I right to think that it should not have been removed? 98.211.129.152 (talk) 18:45, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
Related Pbase link revertedI had an URL reverted by the XlinkBot. The URL was submitted for additional info for the vulcano Beerenberg on Jan Mayen. Pictorial info for this vulcano is very scarce, so I thought I'd contribute with related and informational pictures from an expedition that encircled the whole crater rim in June 2008. Hence I tried to submit the following URL entry as an external link on the Beerenberg page: Unfortenately the XLinkBot reverted this, in compliance with its own revertlist. As far as I can see, albums etc. on the www.flicr.com photo-web are acknowledged/allowed, but not Pbase albums. I therefore request that www.pbase.com also should be eligible for extermal link sumbission in Wikipedia. If this cannot be done in general terms, could some administrator please add the aforementioned link to the "External Links" list at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beerenberg ?
This is my own album, on my own Pbase account, containing my own copyright'ed pictures (ref. statement in the album narrative). Hence any potential copyright breach will only hit myself. I have no intention of moving or delete this album either, so the link will remain valid in the future. My sole purpose with this is to provide valuable info. The pictures provides detailed factual info as well, thus uploading the pics alone will not suffice. Regarding undoing the bot edit, I don't know how to do that. I cannot find any explanation/links/buttons to access such an "undo" action. Any description for how to do this? Or maybe you could help me submitting this link? Thanks again Erik Aaseth (Wikipedia userid: eaaseth)

glitch on Debbie GibsonLooks like your bot had a glitch and reverted a set of valid edits on Debbie Gibson. See this edit. I've reverted, but thought you'd want to know. It appears it was trying to delete a myspace URL, but instead removed valid intervening edits. TJRC (talk) 01:44, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Please preserve my paragraph on Alan McKayDear wikipedia folks, It appears that your BOT removed (and I have now restored) a paragraph about Alan McKay that I added last night to the Soap Bubble page. Alan McKay is generally regarded by professional soap bubble performers as the world bubble champion. No one has been able to document bubbles larger than his 113-foot tube or his 14-foot spheres. The external link I added goes to photos and a video demonstrating this, along with a discussion aimed at improving Guinness record documentation of soap bubbles. (I was the Guinness record-holder for nine years prior to Alan, and at Guinness's request wrote the rules for the "longest bubble" category.)

Re: 67.244.75.51Hi - it appears this user has chosen to ignore your warning, and is continuing to re-add the same junk data. There was recent trouble with 69.122.210.59 abusing multiple accounts, to add similar data (including plugs for Handley's book), and I wonder if there's a connection? Could this be Handley, back for another round? (I would roll back the new edits myself, but I don't want to be accused of "owning" the articles in question. Even if I did create most of them.)

not allowing bet.com as referenceThis BOT is reverting the additon of links to http://www.bet.com/OnTV/BETShows/.
Hmm, the bot should have detected it was in a ref, I'll have second look at that (old problem). But you had in your link 'Referrer=%7B626141EB-9CF7-463E-92C7-6F31C8698895%7D' (a referrer number), often such things are not appropriate and therefore reverted, can you check if the referrer= is really necessery? If so, just revert the bot, otherwise add the link without the referrer tag. Thanks. --Dirk Beetstra T C 21:54, 17 December 2008 (UTC) After I go the Keyshia Cole: The Way It Is section of the BET.com website, I just copied the web address.

Research 2000, however, is non-partisan, and did very well in the 2008 elections. Daily Kos releases these poll results on their front page. However, this bot automatically reverts any Daily Kos edits, and that unfortunately includes these poll results, which are valid. I'm getting tired of having all my Research 2000 polling results automatically reverted by this bot. What can be done? Muboshgu (talk) 03:44, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
Spot feedbackHi. Quite a useful bot, Dirk. I saw a link reversion (IP-contributed) in my Watchlist (article Piczo), and clicked through to take a look. Your bot's reversion was absolutely correct & valid; I just wanted to drop by with a small suggestion. The Talk page comment added included "The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): rule: '\bexample\.com'." Looking at the XlinkBot FAQ page, since it focuses on reverting similar links added by new or IP users, another idea is add a mention of the Sandbox, in the Talk page auto-message? Undoubtedly, some messages will be deliberate spam/vandalism; but some, well, some'll be ol' fashioned good-faith ineptitude! :) – Whitehorse1 15:52, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

About referencesI'm sorry if this is answered elsewhere, but I didn't find it in a brief search: Does XLinkBot revert links outside of the ==External links== section? If so, does it revert links inside <ref> tags? (I'm thinking about Blogcritics.org, which has a new thread at WP:RSN, and shmoop.com, which has been discussed at enormous length at WT:EL.)

XLinkBot seems to have reverted an edit which made multiple changes, only one of which was a link to a Facebook page. Is that intentional? Seems a bit of overkill. PamD (talk) 14:36, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for the remarks. It may indeed be overkill, but it is very difficult to only remove the 'offending' external link. It is better to revert all of the edit. However, the sentence that you suggest to be added to the message on the talkpage is indeed a good one, giving the editor another hint on how to edit. I have made some changes (I actually should work on putting (parts of) those texts in the settings, so it is easier to adapt). Thanks! --Dirk Beetstra T C 13:48, 2 January 2009 (UTC) Please add onePlease add UFOEvidence.org to the list. Something like 98% of the pages on the site contain blatant copyright violations tagged with a fake "fair use" claim that thy think they can copy anything they want without permission if they call the site educational.

there are actually some good pages on geocitiesexample, 'STATES AND REGENTS OF THE WORLD' by Bob Hilkens. It is hard to find another page discussing the staatsrat of Thuringia in the weimar republic and nazi era. i think there should be an 'exclusion list' of urls for XLinkBot- links that it won't consider spam. its kind of dispiriting for an anon-er to spend a bunch of time editing something, then accidentally add a geocities link, then blammo, its all gone. First on the exclusion list? STATES AND REGENTS OF THE WORLD by Bob Hilkens.

Dnepropetrovsk maniacsHello, I would like to ask about the feasibility and desirability of a block on links to the Young News Channel (ync.com). Over the New Year holiday period, a serious issue arose over attempts to link to a video allegedly showing the Dnepropetrovsk maniacs. Jimbo Wales has expressly banned linking to this video (see the talk page of the article). Fortunately, few attempts have been made to link to ync in the past, with the only other major link being the beheading of Ghulam Nabi, which was removed on 27 December 2008. It appears that the material on ync is hosted legally under US law by a company based in Rochester, New York. [2]. Most of the material on the site is sickening, but due to the possibility of the Streisand effect occurring, it would be a mistake to draw attention to it. As Jimbo points out, most of the links on this website are to hardcore porn sites, which automatically rules it out per WP:EL anyway.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 11:29, 5 January 2009 (UTC) Oh, a proper link to the site would have been helpful. I don't find any additions of ync.com or theyoungnewchannel.com, but the proper link that has been added is theync.com:
Seen Jimbo's reaction I am adding this here, though it may be better on the blacklist. --Dirk Beetstra T C 15:44, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
Not that matterExcuse me, you know nothing what I was doing and complained me that I was vandalizing.

I just added this interview that was presented on TV and it is relevant and should be available to others, because one thing is to read about it and other to watch and hear for yourself.

Fed Up! I'm Quitting Wikipedia Because Of You!Please Read ALL of this: Thanks a lot! I have just started editing Wikipedia again, but now you come along with your stupid 'bots', and revert a link to a blog (yes, I know) that did NOT contain any harmful information! In the future will you at least CHECK the link to see whether it IS appropriate, rather than thinking: "Oh, it's a blog, it MUST have unwanted information!" Because Wikipedia has to be all perfect doesn't it(!) Because of these 'bots' taking over Wikipedia, I am leaving. There! One less editor on your 'perfect(!)' little Eden, haven of a database, where EVERY LITTLE NOOK & CRANNY has to be PERFECT! I contributed a lot of times as well, but this is the final straw! Ban me! See what I care! I won't be around to see it happen anyway! Are you getting sick of me rabbiting on? Well, yeah you should be! I'm trying to make a point here and you're just sitting there thinking that all these words mean: "blah, blah, blah,!" For god's sake lighten up! I am going out of my mind with rage right now! I am practically hammering this keyboard with my enraged fingers! ARE YOU STILL LISTENING TO ME? Or have you dozen off? I also think that the article DELETION is inappropriate! I create an article that I am not finished with yet, and you delete it! The reason says something like: 'you didn't attach the {{construction}} tag. But how am I supposed to attach the construction tag, when this stupid database doesn't even tell me how to! Answer that one Mr. Eden! The introduction for new users to Wikipedia should explain things a LOT better than they do now. Or do you just think that as long as we have got over 6 million users or whatever, we don't need to teach any more. I DON'T CARE IF I AM RAMBLING! You are probably bored stiff with reading this, right? Do you know what I hate the MOST about Wikipedia? The most IMPORTANT articles are too long and complicated! I was doing a Rainforest Booklet for my Geography lesson at school, so I typed in Rainforest to Edenpedia (what I call Wikipedia (!)), and the article went on for donkey's years! I couldn't understand a single word you said. I resorted to using external websites, which I found a LOT more helpful and informative. So there! I know some people in my class will simply copy & paste things off your site. But I DO NOT copy and paste! Which is why I used other sites. You will be shocked when I tell you my age at the end of these complaints. You will think: "How did a boy THAT old write all that?" Well I can tell you how, because I don't just use Wikipedia for my learning, and let my mind get warped by the flim-flam included in some of your articles. I double check-facts to PROVE that they're right. Not just look at something on Edenpedia and automatically think that it is correct! So, yeah! Okay, I THINK I am finished typing. So I will leave you to read over these complaints again, and make Wikipedia better for newer users, who want to feel welcomed when they subscribe to you. Make it better for the foreseeable future, because my time on Wikipedia, is up! From Michael (User:Micky 1234567890123) Your 13 year old complainer. P.S. Just for the record I honestly am 13.

Yes, I understand that! But you just said, OFTEN. Some blogs such as this one change their content with videos. As long as you link to a previously archived post, then you should be fine. Some blogs are not about people's social life, some blogs are used for describing stuff or are generalized around a certain topic. If the blog IS about the article in question, and the external link IS linked to an appropriate blog or webpage, then why delete it? I mean, some people put some real, good hard effort into some blogs. Blogs that aren't inappropriate, blogs which AREN'T abusive or offensive. I'm not taking this out on you, or any user in particular for that matter, however you ASSUME that most blogs contain such information, and shunt them aside. Promise me that you will CHECK the contents of a blog before you jump to conclusions and delete the external link! Once you begin doing this, I will reconsider rejoining Wikipedia.

Lippisch P.13bThis revert looks like an error on the part of XLinkBot, in that it removed a large block of content in addition to the offending external link. However - I would have reverted this material myself, as it comes from an anonymous editor fond of inserting large blocks of material with either unreliable refs or none at all, so no harm done and no need to undo it.

Circumventing XLinkBotI thought you might be interested in this edit where Phil Newby (talk · contribs) (previously 85.189.36.254 (talk · contribs) and 90.199.178.45 (talk · contribs)) successfully circumvented XLinkBot's ability to spot the URL in question. This was done by HTTP encoding a number of letters in the URL (e.g. instead of letter the 'h', he wrote %68), and then HTML entity encoding some of the HTTP-encoded octets (e.g. %68 was converted to %68). The result was that instead of 'haroldstreet.org.uk' (that is, or at least used to be, on the blacklist), the article contained the text '%68%61r%6Fl%64s%74reet.org.uk'. I would imagine it would be easy to get the bot to process both sorts of encoding before comparing domains to the blacklist. — ras52 (talk) 11:37, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
Deletion of MySpace link of Parachute Club band memberI am wondering if this is always appropriate, since I have encountered many musicians who seem to use MySpace as either a primary or secondary website, in circumstances where the link becomes informational, rather than promotional. Your thoughts here would be appreciated. Dreadarthur (talk) 12:20, 6 February 2009 (UTC) I've just gone to the page and it appears that all of the external links were deleted. The band uses a wordpress blog format as a band website, as does one of its principal members, Billy Bryans. In addition, both Bryans and Lorraine Segato use Facebook as informational vehicles. Even the Lorraine Segato official website, though not current, was also deleted. Don't quite know what is happening here. Your thoughts appreciated. Dreadarthur (talk) 12:24, 6 February 2009 (UTC) I ended up reverting the edit since the entire previous series of edits to the page, including footnotes and related, rather than only the MySpace link objected to, had been taken out. I assume that this was "bot overkill" or something similar. I have left the MySpace link in, with the hope that further consideration will be given to keeping it in. It provides, in my view, important supplementary information about one of the band members. Hope you are in general agreement with the approach here. Dreadarthur (talk) 12:49, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
Spam???!Dear XLinkBot, I do not understand why the magazine I am trying to add as an external link is persistently removed. Perhaps the guidelines could be changed in order to allow it?! The magazine is not spam, and, I believe, will prove to be a useful supplementary source of information for wikipedia knowledge to expand their knowledge with regards to the articles on wikipedia which it can provide supplementary information on.

reverted linkI received the following: Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Dram shop has been reverted. Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): \btypepad\.com\b (links: http://mcmillslaw.typepad.com/nevada_coverage_law/2009/02/dram-shop-wonderland.html). If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 21:53, 6 February 2009 (UTC) Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Newclients"
I also believe that it is more in compliance than a non-reverted link on the same page "Dram Shop Liability" http://www.personal-injury-info.net/dram-shop-liability.htm which drives readers directly to a lawyer directory site. Please advise on how I can get an external link to my Dram Shop Law information on the page. Thanks in advance, Michael Newclients (talk) 22:43, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Rejected LinksHello! I don't know if you have the time for this but I invite you to visit the linked site, which, although it is officially a blog, is a serious presentation of Chinese paintings and interesting related issues (and actually the only one of this kind on the Web). I wish "notability" could be judged by the quality of the content. I also notice that most of the existing links are overtly commercial (which is not the case for the one I proposed). Regards.

Error reverting MySpace linksHi, I noticed that this bot incorrectly reverted some edits by User:71.68.223.17 to Jessica Jacobs. The article contained two legitimate MySpace links created using the {{MySpace}} template, but this user (apparently confused) replaced them with external links. This should indeed have been reverted, but not for the reason posted by the bot on her talk page or in the edit summary. Just notifying you. Dcoetzee 00:28, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
SandwellThanks for removing the YouTube external link from the Sandwell article. However, looking at this diff, the bot also corrected "http://www.sandwell.gov.uk/" to "http://www.smbc.sandwell.gov.uk/". Both of these redirect to the correct page, but in general, a "root" web address will be more stable and is preferred to a subdomain (which could be used for other purposes at times). No problems anyway, because it's been put back to the "root" address in the infobox. I just thought you might want to be aware of a slight glitch with the bot. Cheers --RexxS (talk) 01:29, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
Deleted External LinkHg comments: This is ridiculous. The bot deleted an addition external link to the blog of Russian human rights activist Oleg Kozlovsky for no good reason. It leaves a Russian language link that readers can not, by and large, understand - but not an English language link, which most can. I thought this was meant to be an an English language 'encyclopaedia'. I have no time for blogs, generally. But Kozlovsky is using a wordpress blog to communicate with the rest of the world. Please ensure that my addition is reinstated. Or justify the deletion. User_talk:H.G.Milliner 14:19, 12 February 2008.
Link RejectedI just got into wikipedia and found this XLinkBot reverted an external link I added to a martial arts article. I want you to know I teach martial arts for free to kids of my community, and by adding this link I just wanted the people who read the article could find some extra info about different chinese martial arts. The style I practice is very rare and many people write me in order to know about it. I though putting an external link into wikipedia could be a good way of giving people access to this info. If this was an offence to your organization, I apologize, otherwise I feel real bad, treated like a criminal, I think you should check the site the external link are refered to in order to know if someone is making some advertisement or not. One thing I am sure, I will never click again (edit) on Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Oliverarodriguez (talk • contribs) 20:20, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Ankara, TurkeyHi, Your bot removed a link to my pages about Ankara, Turkey. Now, I write in my profile: "In view of the scarcity of good (links to) pictures of many Turkish cities and their culture I have added "External links" on several Wikipedia pages. I do NOT consider that as promoting my site or myself, but as promoting (knowledge of) Turkey. I suppose I may find some Wikipedian will be taking the links out considering me to be guilty of self-aggrandizement after all. In that case I think I will say good-bye to Wikipedia, and use my energy elsewhere. I do not want to compete on that issue." As a matter of fact, my site about Turkey is probably the largest in existence and is highly regarded by even the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism (as indicated by a letter in my possession by its General Director). I have contributed, often for free, to BBC, many newspapers, a growing number of books, many specialist sites, the Wikipedia (upon request by people who wanted to illustrate a particular article), thesis and so forth. All pictures were taken by me, so there is no copyright infringement. My site is considered to paint a concise picture of many aspects of the country, in particular its cultural heritage, and is pretty exhaustive in that it shows most major monuments, as well as life in the streets and such. The latest comment on my policy was by someone who was about to delete, then added: "Ooops, never mind, ignore the 1st message by me. I read your user page. --Hottentot 19:04, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
Now this was a thinking person. Instead this time my link to - indeed - my own pages was deleted by a bot. I do not know how to argue with a bot, so this may well spell the end of my contributions to Wikipedia. I am somewhat surprised that I often come across links to other photosites that in my humble opinion are much less informative and more commercial than my own, but I suppose the bot can only work this hard. Also I often find links to the official Turkish site. Many of my viewers consider that, in content and quality, to be worse than my site again. But hey, they're official, aren't they? In case you doubt my statements, take a look at my site and read some of the almost 8000 comments gathered on its pages. And take a look at the well over 25000 pictures, which have been viewed over 51 million times now by viewers from all over the world, be they Turkish or foreign.

Bots like yours are a liability to WikipediaYour bot epitimizes why Wikipedia fails so often to receive credibility as a source of knowledge within academic circles. Instead of taking the time to investigate each source of content, you remove links that are hosted on a given domain (e.g., myspace videos). Wikipedia was never intended to be subject to a machine's systematic enforcement of how the machine's creator interprets policies. It's really a shame that a site based on the principles of open access is polluted by a device that reflects the creator's opinion that knowledge should be discriminated against based on the domain that hosts its resource. What's next, your bot will remove comments from posters from certain geographic regions of the country that don't stack up to your own personal IQ/intelligence stereotypes? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.203.107.70 (talk) 04:48, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Dean Koontz Fanspace regex rule(s) =(Hello, I am new so please don't crucify me! =( I think I have spent less than one hour trying to figure out how to keep an edit on the Dean Koontz page.

I am sorry, I didn't know I was violating any guidelines. My apologies. I saw the section which said "fan-related sites" I was assuming it was for links to fan-related groups of Mike Oldfield. And I saw the links, one is a fan message board and information, and the other is the same. The group I was putting up the link is a fan-related link and it is a discussion group that has information, interviews, files, etc. Unsure, according to the guidelines, was the problem. If you can explain it better so I know not try to add something like this again. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ommadawn69 (talk • contribs) 13:40, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
Hi Dirk, thanks. And it does seem that fansites are to be avoided. But there is a section called "fansites" that is what confuses me. If there is a section, then links to fansites should be accepted.

Consider updating markup to conform to WP:UTMThe format put forth in WP:UTM is this (headers moved one level lower): Warnings Older warnings may have been removed, but are still visible in the page history. [Admin: block | unblock / Info: contribs | page moves | block log | block list] April 2009
May 2009
The line breaks in your bot's output make it difficult for other editors to conform to this standard, because they break the numbered list. Please consider adding the number sign (#) to the beginning of the text, and replacing the line breaks with <br><br>. This would allow people to conform to WP:UTM without having to edit your bot's text. Thank you. Whatever404 (talk) 13:25, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Removal of link to blog and for bookI can understand as per the extensive and rather restrictive policies on what not to link guidelines that the link first my book was removed by someone calling themselves Cadwaladr, and then a link to my blog, which directly relates to the content on the page, ie British Folk Customs - including the Ashen Faggot, by this XLinkBot. However, what I cannot understand is how someone such as myself, who has written a short and informative book that is directly about Ashen Faggot, and is based on personal experience of attending the burning of the ashen faggot on numerous occasions in Axmouth - which is directly mentioned in the article - can bring this to the attention of readers, who, if they have search Wikipedia for information on this topic, may well be interested in finding out more about it? Perhaps I am being naive in my assumption that Wikipedia is a repository of information that can broaden its readers horizons and lead them to new and interesting discoveries? From what I gather from the guidelines, it would be acceptable for someone else to post a link that highlights my book, but not me, myself? Perhaps I should be someone like this Cadwaladr character who seems to spend their life on here, but I am not, I am simply trying to offer a small bit of information to anyone who wants to take a look. I'll know not to look here for information that might prove useful in future. Very disappointed... 09kernow73 (talk) 20:34, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
Nicole Linkletters Twitter Link Posted on her WikipediaI am writing because this because I am wondering if Nicole Linkletter's Official Twitter that was posted http://twitter.com/niclinkletter recently is a REAL ACCT FOR HER OR FAKE?? The person who created that account on twitter had recently contacted me on twitter and we were supposed to be doing a charity and I believe I was scammed due to the fact that twitter investigated the acct and suspended it due to the fact that it was impersonated, and they said it was not a real account, and the link for it still exhists on this page.

Bot leaves too big of a talk page messageI believe that XLinkBot possibly leaves too large of a talk page message when warning users. In the case of this edit, the bot leaves a welcome message, and then the warning, which is based on the level-one "welcome to Wikipedia" AGF warning. This is not only a bit too long and redundant (two "welcome" lines in the same edit), but it also seems to send a mixed message, as we are thanking them for contributing material that is being reverted for being against content guidelines. I think that if the bot skipped the welcome message and just dropped the warning on users' talk pages, this would make a lot more sense. SchuminWeb (Talk) 15:10, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Darwin Primate group blog siteRE: DARWIN PRIMATE GROUP BLOG SITE: Hi, With regard to the Darwin Primate Group blog site link on Baboon Woman, I feel it is very important to the article that this link be left in place. The reasons for this are that this article is about Karin Saks - the subject of the film, Baboon Woman. Karin Saks is the creator of the blogsite for the Darwin Primate Group which showcases her work done for primates. The Darwin primate group is a non-profit organisation that works towards saving primates in South Africa. Unfortunately their only website in place at the moment is the blog site for darwin primate group. I am the author of this blog site (www.darwinprimategroup.blogspot.com/) and believe it is relevant to the article - anyone wanting to find out more information about Karin Saks - the subject of Baboon Woman - will find it at this blog site.

Lost in Blue (band) page deleted etc.Hi, there is a band named Lost in Blue that has been using the name since 2000. So, I wrote a Wikipedia page for them as Lost in Blue (band). And originally, the Lost in Blue Wikipedia site went straight to the video game so I changed that page into a redirect to both the band and the game. I then made a Lost in Blue (game) page which had all the same info as the original Lost in Blue game site. Now, I find that all my hard work is completely gone. 1, the LiB band site is not for promotion or commercial gain of any kind, I just want people to have the option of learning more about them here. All the links and references are also from official sources/sites so I don't know what the problem is. And since there has been a band named Lost in Blue much longer than the video game, it's only fair that when people simply enter "Lost in Blue", they should find links to both the game and the band. I would appreciate an actual person to clarify all this because it was incredibly frustrating to find all my hard work gone in less than 2 days.

Knickerbocker Village additionMy attempt to add a link to my Knickerbocker Village blog to the Knickerbocker Village page was rejected. My understanding is that blogspots trigger a rejection. My blog is not an advertisement, but a genuine attempt to provide a more complete history of the housing project by linking to archival stories, images and documents of those that used to live there. I would guess there are close to 100 former and current residents who are active readers of the blog. This also includes the KV management which supports the effort of the blog.

Hi again Beetstra The Big Issue has selected articles (vendor profiles) on their website which are free. Unlike many publications they don't ask contributors to sign away their copyright to write for them (partly because the rates of pay are so small and effectively charity work). As they don't publish much of their magazine online they encourage contributors to republish their own work online. Also this is the AUSTRALIAN Big Issue (www.bigissue.org.au/) which varies from international versions. I've also re-instated Shaun Tan for the same reasons.

In fact, without the link, comments regarding the video are completely unverified.--Potentialwell (talk) 20:15, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
revert bots auto deletionThe link to the YouTube page containing the verification of Stephen Spoonamores claims of voter fraud in the Premier_Election_Solutions article should not have been removed. The video is not copyrighted and falls under the US legislation on fair use (also only a short cut/fragment of the complete interview is utilized/refrenced) and would not readily be found elsewhere. In fact, without the link, comments regarding the statement is completely unverified since the article contains no other citation/documentation of the claim in question.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.215.3.220 (talk • contribs)
This bot restored a deleted prod. Anyone is allowed to delete a prod, so why auto-restore it? This is a bad thing to automatically do. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 23:08, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
I hope the programmer behind this bot will read this message. Your revert on the aforementioned page was under the pretense of me including a Facebook link. However, along with that link, you reverted several additions, most of which are valid. Moreover, notice that your reversion led to an older Facebook link staying there! Basically, the bot wanted to remove the Facebook link, but ended up reverting good contributions while leaving another Facebook link intact! Any response will be greatly appreciated. 87.69.130.159 (talk) 10:24, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
MyWikiBiz.comHello, is there any reason why this site is on this list? it was one of the earliest additions, by Beetstra, but I've never seen evidence that MyWikiBiz meets the limited approved scope of the bot as detailed at Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/XLinkBot, Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/XLinkBot 2, and defined on the User:XLinkBot as
I will remove this in a day or two unless evidence or justification that it meets defined requirements of inclusion on any list like this. I'll also note that the operator of the site is about to be unbanned by the Arbcom, and despite his history, unless there is evidence (I can't a find a log of this bot's actions in regards to this domain) of a problem with his domain being somehow misused on Wikipedia, it has to come off. We don't do punitive things here, and that's the only hypothetical reason I can think of to keep the domain on any such list. Thanks. rootology (C)(T) 13:37, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
Spam, content, or behavioral enforcement?On a related note, are the domains here for any kind of content or behavioral reasons (e.g. blocks/bans of their owners)? I was under the impression such bots only exist for spam-related purposes. I'd be shocked if such things were being done here or Abuse Filter as content or behavioral controls. rootology (C)(T) 13:57, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
Hello, thanks for your assitance in helping with the article on Mr. Hughes. However, I was trying to add new credits that he has worked on, and remove others that he is no longer attached too. I also tried to add an infobox which was removed. Could you please tell me how to properly add all these details without having them removed. Thanks kindly.

LostpediaI don't think that adding external links to Lostpedia (http://lostpedia.wikia.com) in the "External links" section of a relevant article should be considered vandalism. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 20:50, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
Not marked as a botThis bot does not have bot rights [11] (Compare: [12]) FYI, please update its user rights accordingly. Rgrds. --Tombstone (talk) 03:45, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
Hi this is not a vandalism. please fix the bot.--CNekm (talk) 10:32, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Author Betty MacDonaldI tried to post a link to Betty MacDonald Fan Club because I got really excellent info from them incl. interviews of Betty MacDonald family. What is the reason that it didn't work. The Site is blogspot.com and it's an info site. --Betsybard (talk) 07:30, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
Linking to Voltron on HuluHi - I am Hulu's blog editor, and while reviewing the entry for Voltron, I noticed that you provide links to TV.com and IMDb. Since the first season of the series is available for US users for free, I tried to add an external link to the series on Hulu. TV.com does not offer episodes and I see that their site accepts advertising, so I was wondering if you'd reconsider allowing the Voltron entry to have an external link to hulu.com/voltron. I have no nefarious plans with this suggestion; I just saw it as a service. All of Hulu's content is provided legally with permission from content owners. Thanks, rebecca harper blog editor, hulu.com—Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.130.205.171 (talk • contribs)
how to create references.hey, I need some help creating references to my Article "Fairfield Area School District." I don't know how to make my school's website one of the references I used. Can you help me?—Preceding unsigned comment added by Evilmaster23 (talk • contribs)
picturesHow do you post pictures on a Wikipedia article?—Preceding unsigned comment added by Evilmaster23 (talk • contribs)
Hello.I don't recall ever putting a myspace link to a photo on my article. I have 4 pictures related to the school district. I have 2 links two my article from the page of Fairfield PA. and my sources are two websites which give Fairfield Area School District Statistics. Why exactly are you telling me things like I can't use those sources if I need them to have the article up and I have used them correctly. can you please respond to this for me? EvilMaster23.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Evilmaster23 (talk • contribs)
that's what I'm saying, I don't recall doing that in my work. perhaps, someone else who goes to the school saw it and added it, because they are students and think they should be on the page. I know, I did no such thing. It is possible, you let the viewers edit it, which I think is a bad choice.
look, my school's Wikipedia page isn't original research. the research I used was from the school's website. there is also some statistics about the school that I got from other websites, which they got from the school itself. I cited those as my references. If those aren't good enough, please tell me so now.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Evilmaster23 (talk • contribs)
