User:CounterVandalismBot

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Notice CounterVandalismBot has stopped working, however, its buddies ClueBot and VoABot II should have things under control.
Notice CounterVandalismBot may return in coming weeks, with the changes that are occuring within BRFA regarding warning conformity I currently do not have the time to update the bot to comply with these new rules. However in a few weeks when I have some time I will probably update the bot.

So I now have this bot as well as Cluebot to compete against. That's 5 times within the last 15 minutes this evening you've beaten me to reverting vandalism. Excellent bot! Ryan (talk/contribs) 20:23, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
