This page is a soft redirect.

MartinBot has ceased functioning due to un-resolved technical problems. AntiVandalBot from where the code was cloned had stopped functioning since a long time. However, ClueBot NG another anti-vandalism bot, is still operating and reverting vandalism.

AntiVandalBot Global Notice:

- All seems well now! We currently require diffs of vandalism the bot didn't catch as well as diffs it did. Please post diffs on User:AntiVandalBot/diffs under the headings provided. Thanks.

Please do not subst this template! Feel free to add {{AntiVandalBot}} to your page to get AntiVandalBot news though / Smile and be happy and enjoy the Wiki side of the Force!!

If the bot reverted you incorrectly, but you were either removing lots of material or adding potentially offensive words, please don't feel compelled to report the issue to Martinp23. Instead, false positives should be mentioned here. Thanks, Mart inp23 17:17, 13 March 2007 (UTC) [reply]

False positive

Got a false positive here[1]. I think it was because the proper version of the page contained insults and the vandalized version did not. No worries. ^(H) 18:05, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy tags, and {{hangon}}

I have noticed several cases of users contesting speedy-delete tags replacing them with {{hangon}} rather than adding it.

Block 75.144.0.89

The vandalisms by 75.144.0.89 in Diddy Kong Racing page merits a block for infinite.

Calypso (Pirates of the Carribean)

Where I can see how an entire page being replaced by a single sentence could be interpreted as vandalism, my intention was not to deface the page for Calypso. Rather, seeing as it described a character who already had her own page (Tia Dalma), it seemed like this page served little purpose. 24.24.87.228 23:54, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

miss universe edit

Richard Smallwood... not vandalized!

Hey, the correction on the Richard Smallwood page was removing an obviously promotional biography and reverting to the previous encyclopedic, unbiased entry. I'm surprised the bot didn't catch when a user also original did the dramatic edit to replace it! ;-) Souldier77 06:50, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

please this was not me who did this , it was some guys from school they saw me passcord and have been wreeching havock on wiki. all of and any more of these edits were not me. there are several other articles that they changed and if i git one more warning ill be blocked! please beleive me i wish only good things for wiki.GuyDoe 19:55, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have any idea how tempting that big red button is?

Everytime I come to this page, there's this big red button staring me in the face shouting "PUSH ME! PUSH ME!" Maybe that's just me?

(I haven't given in yet, although I bet it doesn't really matter if I push the button or not. Button...) The Last Melon 03:16, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you. I am not an admin, but if I were an admin, I would be really tempted to push it. It would raise my edit count significantly because that bot would not always beat me to vandals. You may want to move it somewhere else (unless it's some requirement that you have it at the top of the user page.) Happy editing, AlexHillan 05:31, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Meh, the threat of de-sysopping for anyone who rogue blocks it normally keeps things moving ok. Ok, I don't know if that threat is actually out there but I figure thats why it hasn't happened more often. If you really want to take the bot down, be really really nice to a toolserver admin and hope the failovers are not up :o -- Tawker 05:40, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, talk about watching a joke run away from you...I apologize; I probably should have made it a bit more clear that I was joking. Perhaps I should add an emoticon after any and all jokes I make, crude though that may be? The Last Melon 05:51, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

LOL - I was sort of joking too :) -- 21:51, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Not that it really matters now that all the changes have been made, but my first edit deleting the article and editorials Belgirl1223 was in preparation to move them to where they actually belong. 70.129.143.85 07:14, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sittin' on Top of the World

I transferred an article about the album by LeAnn Rimes from a page called Sittin' on Top of the World to a page called Sittin' on Top of the World (album), to free up 'Sittin' on Top of the World' so it can be used as a re-direct to this song (usually rendered as 'Sittin' on Top of the World' or 'Sitting on Top of the World'). This seems to be sensible as the song, which has numerous cover-versions, is bigger than LeAnn Rimes' album. If I've done this in an incorrect manner, I apologise. No information was deleted; the sum result was that I added one re-direct, so I cannot see how this can be interpreted as vandalism. Ikeshut 01:10, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Deleting previous messages?

Is it usual practice for MartinBot to delete previous messages when posting a warning? [5] akuyume^T_C 05:50, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Likely a weird edit conflict, it grabbed the version, added it's message to it and in that split second, you posted your message. -- Tawker 16:43, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

SIGTRAN

Your bot misreverted a revert I did on SIGTRAN, probably based on the assumption that my removal of large amounts of recently-added but sadly irrelevant content amounted to vandalism.

I created the article earlier today for someone else. That person, in the meantime, inserted the material in the article on "Naptha", which makes more sense. I have since redirected the article to Naphtha.

Vandalism

Um, the bot accused me of vandalism, when I was the one removing it. The bot actually reverted my removal of vandalism. See [6]. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 02:23, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I was also accussed of vandalizing an article I've never even accessed, let alone edited.

Reverted "vandalism?"

I notice that my additions to the Suzanne Shell article were reverted due to "vandalism."

I had added information about 1) a court case filed by Suzanne Shell where she made copyright claims. (Copyright issues were the reason there is an article at all.) and 2) a link to a police department press release that is relevant.

I would like to give a human a chance to respond before I re-enter the information.....

Office of Film and Literature Classification (Australia)

A legitimate edit of mine on the OFLC article was reverted, presumably due to the coarse language within the article. I was reverting changes to the article in which a user had censored profanity using asterisks (*). In the context of the article, the profanity was used in order to demonstrate the sort of coarse language which is permissable under the Australian classification scheme's 5 main rating categories. I reverted said words as I understand that Wikipedia permits the use of profanity if justified by context. Cheers. Sillygostly 00:20, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

List of I Dream of Jeannie episodes

For some reason, MartinBot has reverted some edits on the List of I Dream of Jeannie episodes. I don't see why, as somebody had simply added some release dates for some old VHS releases. I also think marking it as a minor edit is misleading. Andyross 14:19, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If You are an Administrator, Please Help!!!

I've sought the help of several other administrators, but if you are a robot, as you proclaim, then you might be the best help I've sought so far, as you won't need to be anywhere else, necessarily. For the longest time now, the article: Iggy Arbuckle has needed images, but so far, slim to none has been done about it!!! I want this to stop as soon as possible; the poor little article has waited long enough. Please, please, please participate in trying to find and upload images to this article, for surely, no user could have more of the right kind of authority to do so than an administrator - especially not an administrator who's also a robot!!!
