Problems archiving Jimbotalk?

@Wbm1058: @Matthewrbowker: I've had an email from Rich, Cobi is waiting on Labs access, then he can go through the bot code.--5 albert square (talk) 17:52, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

I've modified Template:BLP to remove the direct wikilink to Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard. Hoping that fixes this particular case. It may take several days (or weeks?) to work all of the transclusions (currently 772,900) through the job queue. However the bot should probably be modified to skip over over-linked things like this that make for unacceptably inefficient processing. Wbm1058 (talk) 18:08, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

@5 albert square: Thank you for the update. ~ Matthewrbowker ^{Drop me a note} 21:41, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

Developer of WP:STiki here and consumer of your IRC feed. Looks like you are ingesting edits but not scoring them, as that field is now an empty string, whereas it is normally a number. The bot is not reverting as a result. My users are also encountering in a bug in a portion of our interface that is historically reliable. I wonder if the issues are related. Let me know if you folks discover an underlying root cause or anything further. Thanks, West.andrew.g (talk) 01:46, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

If user accused of vandalism they can't get a number to report their changes are by a human

My edit to was a comment static the text is almost word-for-word the same as . One of them is essentially a copy, though I can't tell which one. In any event, I am a human, not a vandal, and hope you haven't listed me as one. Thanks, Mark White (mark@markewhite.com) Hovenweep (talk) 13:03, 24 January 2016 (UTC)hovenweepHovenweep (talk) 13:03, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Hovenweep Welcome back. Don't worry, you will not be considered a vandal. This was a "false positive" from ClueBot in October 2013. The entry made by ClueBot on your talk page does include this (with links): ClueBot NG makes very few mistakes, but it does happen. If you believe the change you made was constructive, please read about it, report it here, remove this message from your talk page, and then make the edit again. At this stage it's probably best just to remove the message from your talk page and forget about it. By the way, the "comment" facility you used would only be seen by anyone coming to edit the article themselves; it may have been better to add such a remark on the article's talk page, where anyone watching the article would see it: Noyster (talk), 15:08, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Coincidence

Well as it may be, that it is a coincidence? I clicked on the article, and clicked cancel because it was vandalism, and already wrote that the change has been canceled. Then shook post warning, just turned away, already written :D. This is not the issue here observation.--Lukaslt13 --Talk 17:09, 27 January 2016 (UTC)Lukaslt13

@Lukaslt13: I'm confused by your query. I cannot see that this bot has had any interaction with you.--5 albert square (talk) 23:55, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

Redirect

Is it just me or is review.cluebot.org/ actually being redirected to this? Seems like someone hijacked the domain for promotional purposes. -- ChamithN (talk) 14:20, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Thanks, I have emailed Cobi and Rich :)--5 albert square (talk) 19:49, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Rich has emailed me, looks like cluebot.org expired and has now been registered by another company.--5 albert square (talk) 16:43, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

If the bot owners don't plan to restore it, I think it's best to remove the link from User:ClueBot NG/FalsePositives, rather than keeping it tagged as dead. -- ChamithN (talk) 18:46, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

bot error

Error, mr. Bot — Preceding unsigned comment added by Simon Frazer (talk • contribs) 02:38, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

Indeed an error. I reported it to the false positive interface. jcgoble3 (talk) 03:47, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

ClueBot III down

Just a question. Why is ClueBot III down and when will it be running again? I was wondering why some of my talk page posts weren't being archived. Class455fan1 (talk) 19:23, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

I think it's a coding issue. I had an email from @Rich Smith: earlier to say that @Cobi: is awaiting Labs access so he can go through the code.--5 albert square (talk) 20:02, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

What did i write offensive? Craigmatthews22 (talk) 19:39, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

@Craigmatthews22: You removed the entire infobox and lead sentence of the article without explanation or discussion, which ClueBot correctly identified as vandalism. This was after this edit, which was clearly vandalism. Please don't do it again. General Ization ^Talk 19:56, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

Block notices added to articles

I'd like to request that when someone adds a block notice to an article, like this this or this, that Cluebot NG catch it and revert. –Fredddie™ 18:01, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Why not either use the edit filter or update the template to not subst in a non-user talk namespace? ClueBot NG doesn't work on filters, but rather on a trained artificial neural network. If you want to catch it, the edit filter is a better solution. -- Cobi^(t|c|b) 18:16, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
