AIV Helperbot 5

Hi James, I just noticed that AIV helperbot 5 seems to be ignoring edit conflicts and overwriting with its version. Diffs [1] [2] as most recent examples - I don't know if this is something common to all the bots, but I thought you'd like to know. --Firien ^{need help?} 15:40, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Contrary to what's stated on the bot pages, there's work duplication as well, and bot 7 is overwriting in the same way. I won't respond for ~2 weeks if you reply to this, going on holiday shortly - hope what I've posted makes sense, I seem to be having trouble recently. Guess the holiday comes at a good time. Good luck with the bots --Firien ^{need help?} 15:46, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
