User talk:VolkovBot
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- Normally, I inform the operator on his talk page about the bot's flagging. Since this time the operator's talk page is outside of enwiki, I'm posting here to inform that, per Mets501's final approval [1], I've granted this bot a bot flag [2]. Redux 16:09, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you! --VolkovBot 16:15, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Automated message to bot owners
As a result of discussion on the village pump and mailing list, bots are now allowed to edit up to 15 times per minute. The following is the new text regarding bot edit rates from Wikipedia:Bot Policy:
Until new bots are accepted they should wait 30-60 seconds between edits, so as to not clog the recent changes list and user watchlists. After being accepted and a bureaucrat has marked them as a bot, they can edit at a much faster pace. Bots doing non-urgent tasks should edit approximately once every tenseconds, while bots who would benefit from faster editing may edit approximately once every every four seconds.
Also, to eliminate the need to spam the bot talk pages, please add Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard to your watchlist. Future messages which affect bot owners will be posted there. Thank you. --Mets501 05:14, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Bug when modifying templates
I noticed that your bot modified the {{NZL}} template to add an interwiki link -- unfortunately, the addition was not done inside a noinclude tag, so the interwiki link is now included on all pages that use the template :-( Also, the additional newline causes problems when the template is used inside tables (and probably other situations). I fixed the NZL template but it looks like your bot has broken many others. Carl Lindberg 18:52, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, I've also noticed that. It seems to be a bug in pywikipedia. I'll try to fix all occurrences. --VolkovBot 19:00, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Useless links
Some of the edits being made by your bot are not helpful, [3] could you please disable it or have it generate a list which can be inspected by humans instead? Thanks, RFerreira 05:29, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
- This is not a bot's fault but the quality of the article in :iu which is however a live and growing (although very slowly) wiki. There is no reason to discriminate against small wikis. --VolkovBot 10:42, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Section disappeared due to VolkovBot edit
VolkovBot removed an entire section from the Starcraft II article for no apparent reason. A bug, perhaps? See the discussion.
- Yes, it seems to be a glitch. Looks like bot got two different versions of this article (maybe from cache?). I don't know why it happened. --VolkovBot 09:48, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Template:Infobox Journal
Привeт VolkovBot! Я возвращал (два раза) нормальную версию вручную на template:Infobox Journal, потому что эти интервики также включены на template:Infobox Journal/doc. Есть возможность только добавить интервики на template:Infobox Journal/doc? --JayHenry (talk) 06:50, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Infobox Person
Template {{Infobox Person}} uses a documentation subpage; all interwikis are intended to go on the subpage. There are a huge number of templates that use a documentation subpage in this manner. When your bot edits a template, it should look for a /doc page and edit that instead. --— Gadget850 (Ed) talk - 20:45, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Misbehaviour by Volkovbot
VolkovBot vandalized http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leibniz_and_Newton_calculus_controversy. When I left a message on ru:User talk:VolkovBot as requested the page in Russian was incomprehensible and my signature Xxanthippe (talk) 22:59, 6 April 2008 (UTC) appeared as my IP number. Continued editing gave odd text behaviour and I had to reboot my computer to get things working again. I think this bot should be blocked on the English Wiki until its problems have been sorted out. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:59, 6 April 2008 (UTC).
- This is NOT vandalism and not a problem at all but interwiki link to Bengali wikipedia. Instead, undoing correct interwiki may be considered vandalism. --VolkovBot (talk) 06:41, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Abejar
Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article Abejar, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

[edit] Misadded interwiki
Hi there. On the Toronto page, your bot added a link to the wrong Toronto.[4] Easily fixed, and not a big deal, but thought you might like to know. -- Flyguy649 talk 13:18, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
