be blocked for it. Third, if you haven't noticed, Rich is not the only bot operator on Knowledge (XXG). But do you see the things happening to Rich happening to any other operator? Not counting Rich, I can think of only 1 or 2 other bot operators in my entire time on Knowledge (XXG) who have run into serious problems with the community to the extent that the operator got blocked. In each case, the problems go beyond simply "making mistakes." Though in some cases, they didn't even make that many mistakes, they just compounded the ones they did make by acting like an ass when it was brought to their attention. If you really do promptly fix every problem brought to your attention, you have nothing to be concerned about. Rich's issue is that he either doesn't fix the problems when he says he does, or he decides they aren't actually problems. He's being blocked now because he's used up people's good faith.

3416:

a big deal but because I am making in excess of 1000 a day its a problem. The rules of editing don't change between having a BRFA and not having one it just puts more eyes on you and increases scrutiny. Its inevitable that I am going to make a few bad edits and that chance increases exponentially the more edits I do and the more difficult the edit becomes. Having the BRFA request means that, I will have been duly informed of the consequences of my actions so that, when I make a mistake, and that will happen eventually, I get an escelating series of blocks, warnings and the like eventally leading to a situation like the one that Rich is in where I have 2 or 3 editors watching every edit I make and as soon as I make a mistake I get blocked for 48 hours. I apologize if it sounds like I have a bad attitude about this but it really boils down to a lack of

3453:

a better handle on the scope of the project. Even ignoring all the articles tagged by the other 150+ US related projects there are still thousands that aren't tagged at all. Those are the ones I am currently addressing as well as supporting some of the US related projects that have either become defunct, inactive or have minimal activity (such as US counties, District of Columbia and Superfunds). I would be happy to provide the list of other edits but I recommend a separate discussion so that we don't get to confusing here. That list is also very long and I separate things into like groups (Talk page edits, Reference/Citation fixes, other). I find doing them all at once gets very confusing when reviewing differences as you mentioned above. --

4498:@ALL, but especially Cptnono. Anyone can edit, sure. But still we block, protect, abusefilter for edits and spam-blacklist for links, and we use a handful of antivandalism bots (of which I count XLinkBot to be one) to undo the edits which are giving a high number of cases where the edits do more harm than that they help. Anyone can edit, but that does not go for the main page. Whole IP ranges are blocked, pages get long page protections or abusefilters shut down certain types of edits. All of these have an immense impact, they block innocent editors, they disable ANY form of editing to specific pages or specific editors. And yes, practically ALL of these methods have collateral damage, most of which we will 4317:

correct venue to seek its removal. It had nothing to do with not getting nay support. Note that another editor here has supported my proposition so saying it is just me was untrue and does nothing but change the discussion from the bot making edits against consensus to me and whatever reasons I might have. And have I ever been reverted by the bot? No. I have seen it in edit summaries which led me to believe that YouTube was not allowed at all which is why I mentioned that it adds confusion. But if consensus is that it only reverts new users and IPs then we should consider changing the "anyone can edit" mentality of Knowledge (XXG) if we can finally admit that we do not respect the edits made by newcomers.

4539:

recognisable as good links, but unfortunately the majority of them is not as such recognisable. But YouTube has a bar to pass (just like any other link that one adds; and note that XLinkBot tries to detect whether external links are used as references and not revert those). YouTube still has the problem that many useful video's are copyvios (no, I am not saying that most of the videos are copyvios, I am not saying that most of the good videos are copyvios), and that is a pretty grave problem. But there is more, YouTube requires a significant bandwidth, it requires installation of software (which not everyone has, and which is not avaible to anyone), etc. etc.

4560:

not suitable as an external link. Yes, there are many YouTube videos that are good information and are suitable as an external link, but really, the large majority of movies IS NOT. We do not need videos of birthday parties, heavy rain in a small village in China, someone playing with his volleybal, name it (and yes, those are not copyvios .. !). I did a very, very quick check of about 10 reverts, and I did find 2 copyvios being reverted. Others were indirect or just too general to be of significant use. OK, I did not look significantly into them, but if I find 2 copyvios in 10 reverts, then that is certainly .. cause for concern.

3138:

the painstaking process for renaming/moving images for example) In most cases its very obvious what I did and can be identified at a mere glance. Removing these does a couple things. It makes the talk page look less cluttered and easier to read, it again makes it easier to program changes, it takes up less space when saving (if you have 1, 000, 000 pages and they all have 10 versions in history and they all have 20 spaces in the headers, thats a couple GB of space saved when we delete the spaces. Not a huge issue I grant you because GB are cheap in the grand scheme of things but it all adds up and it is a reason I do it.

3282:

combination of edit, over articles you know (at least in this cae I know) you will be routinely editing over and over potentially, or do you get rid of it on the first pass so the next time you have less "clutter" and code needed to make the change. Again I do this more or less up front so that all the follow up code doesn't require the spaces. If now I need to add code to account for the spaces then I am going to need to go back through and make quite a few changes because I do this edit early on in the order to prevent from needing to account for it later a few hundred times. Again its a difference of coding for this

2790:

blank and this is the only thing there. For others such as the assessments it can take several seconds to check the article and then process it but I usually grab the assessment from a project thats already there if its missing for US (I do this using Regex coding). In most cases the high edit rate is do to working on talk pages and it requires very little time to see if there is an error before I move on. I also frequently use 2 instances of AWB at the same time so when the first one is saving I am reviewing the second and I alternate back and forth. If the community want me to request and use a bot for

2989:

edits a day. But I went back and fixed them whenever they come up. They are fairly rare and usually are due to that particular page doing something out of the normal (such as having importancelow instead of importance=low which caused me to add importance=low again for about 10 articles which I fixed and then added some regex code that would watch for the bad parameter values). With that said here is a better description of the edits I am doing to help you decide which route to take, which at this point seems like a BRFA: It is quite long and I can provide the code/regex if requested were applicable.

3501:

anything. You're not really saving any significant amount of space, as it doesn't really add up to much. I think I actually estimated it once, and found that even under an extremely optimistic estimate, removing the spaces saves something like $ 1-10 in disk space costs over the course of a year without considering compression. However, Wikimedia uses a diff-based, compressed storage system for revisions, so making more changes actually increases the disk space used for that edit. If you think it should be changed in the software, file a bug report and convince the developers.

2907:: "In general, processes that are operated at higher speeds, with a high volume of edits, or are more automated, may be more likely to be treated as bots for these purposes". You are obviously making a high volume of edits at a high rate of speed. I'm not sure whether there are actual accuracy concerns being raised here or if it's just "Kumioko should be using a bot flag for this to avoid clogging watchlists and such". Either way, I'm leaning towards asking for a BRFA for this task that could probably be speedily approved at this point, but I'm open to comments. 4109:

99% of other editors don't know that either and to me thats part of the problem here. The issue of using youtube for larger files isn't just one of access but is a software limitation requiring the programmers to do some work on their end from what I understand. Regarding the consensus that doesn't surprise me. Consensus frequently gets formed and then once the action starts and people notice the consensus is revised. Additionally with more and more government agencies using Youtube I can see the exception list getting very large and unwieldy pretty fast. --

3191:

edits by people in the discussions are swamped by useless whitespace-only changes. It's a matter of opinion whether removing the spaces makes them "less cluttered" or "easier to read", as some may find the markup cramped and harder to read without those spaces. You're also right the GB are cheap, and IIRC the way revisions are stored may mean it takes more space for the revision changing it than it would to leave them alone. And none of that really addresses the question of whether there is consensus for this to be done on a large scale.

3331:

these mirror sites do not like the malformed breaks. Thats were the problems lie. It could be argued that we shouldn't care about that but, if we can do a simple edit to fix it while we are there anyway so that the data displays correctly on these other (we'll call them customer sites for lack of a better term) than why shouldn't we. Regarding the vandalism comment I had thought about that a while back and randomly check but have never yet found one that was due to obvious vandalism although admitedly it is possible. --

3540:

doing the assessment changes. Since most editors have little interest in talk pages they seem to be particularly dishevelled. But there are several of us now (Me, Magio, Xeno and a few others as well as several bots) cleaning these up so gradually we are straightening them out. Just let me know what you want me to do. Since this discussion started I haven't done many edits till this gets sorted out and I would like to get back to it. I've only done about 500 edits today and I'm starting to feel like a slacker.:-) --

2256:(2) It appears that the operator took it upon themselves to change the functionality during the trial without explicit approval (which is suboptimal) but they noted the change in functionality prior to final approval. As regards (1), if it becomes evident during the discussion at a central venue that the community does not want visible tags to be placed by the bot, then the bot can start putting hidden categories, listifying the pages needing review, or something of the sort. – 2277:

was turned down with the reasoning that although it would be technically possible, the volunteer new page patrollers should simply work harder; some Wikipedians (well, me actually) felt there could therefore be another way of addressing the problem. This project is in its infancy but although what has been achieved so far is one small step for improving the system of new page patrolling, it's already a huge leap forward towards better quality control.

3420:. If I make a mistake on an edit all someone has to do is tell me and Ill do whatever I can to fix it. I believe my talk page responses will convey that. Contrary to what seems to be the sentiment doing a lot of edits is a good thing and we should be encouraging users to do so not bogging them down in beaurocracy so they slow down. If someone questions my editing accuracy then go through my edits, if you find some mistakes, especially repetetive ones let me know. -- 3676:

or so for a test run and then if the test goes ok it should be approved. I withdrew mine because I simply got tired of waiting and since knowone was screaming for or against it I just decided there must be enough bots and mine wasn't wanted or needed. No hard feelings, its really not a huge issue since I can easily find things to do but at some point I will probably resubmit it and I am trying to learn a little more about how the system works for when I do. --

4568:. One could ask that if one finds a specific rule which has a high error rate, that that specific rule gets removed. If YouTube is really having so much trouble, then that rule could be removed. But it is by no means a reason to shut the whole bot down. Now, pending any statistics on a significant number of reverts for YouTube, I don't think that this calls (yet) for removal of the YouYube rules, let alone for withdrawing the editing rights completely. 685:. It requires scrutiny and care of operator/editor in making sure the new material is accurate. Judging by the above contributions, even manual human editing is not beyond making mistakes. I see no principal difference between using a script and filling fields of a template — the result is the same, if only editorially cumbersome to produce. In my opinion, any almost equal edits more frequently than 5-7 per minute for more than a couple of minutes is 2595:"Basically what happened here is that North created a new article, it wasn't patrolled for 30 days, the bot tagged it, and North had some kind of emotional reaction rooted in his perceived ownership of the article." perfectly summed up Snotty. Which also proves wthout a shadow of a doubt that the the new system is doing exactly the job it was intended to do: getting SPA to pull their socks up and come back and clean up their articles ;) 1089:

feelings” is precisely the attitude that lead to a lack of consensus. I spent a about a week on this decision (and have also loosely followed the progress of this bot since it was proposed orignally), and many hours reading through the comments about this bot. I can safely say that there was reasonable evidence provided for why users thought this bot approval should be denied. Simply claiming there isn’t, as you are doing, can be disruptive per

35: 943: 4283:. His previous statement above, "The operator could have stopped this action if he would have addressed the requests made to stop editing against consensus." is unfounded. The only one making the current request is Cptnono. The only other editor who had complaints concerning XLinkbot never suggested nor backed its shutdown and after the nature of the bot was explained appears to be satisfied well enough. See 2074:) already automatically remove that particular template when articles are patrolled. Making up a new hidden category that gets added to the bottom of the article would be more difficult to maintain, because many patrollers wouldn't even know what it was and would neglect to remove it when patrolling. Kingpin, I think the bot parameter is a good idea, I'll add it to future applications of the template. 5270: 4884:

knowing if someone did something on purpose (giving examples of correct/incorrect use, for instance) I just assumed bots are approved for mainspace unless the operator indicates otherwise; after all we don't have bots dating maintenance citations in Knowledge (XXG):. I do realize there wouldn't be many false positives and I am OK with these edits if they are supervised, but not autonomous. —

1101:

BRfA is a necessary process, and is similar to other consensus-building/judging processes on Knowledge (XXG). It conforms to Knowledge (XXG)’s standards, and operates through consensus like most of Knowledge (XXG). If you have a problem with this (the way in which Knowledge (XXG) is run) then I am glad I judged the BRfA as I did, since it still seems you are unable to work cooperatively. -

3134:

doing many things easier including identifying what projects are there (some names are and where more meaningful than others), fixing problems when programming bots (take a look at the code I linked to above. In the current schema if you want to capture all the projects and their redirects to do a bot change to Wikiproject banners you need to have much much much more code to do things).

2544:

visible tags should not be placed at the top of unpatrolled articles. It's true that the original request for the bot said that it would place the articles into a hidden category. During the bot approval process, the discussion about how the bot would operate evolved and we reasoned it would be more efficient to add them to the existing new article tracking infrastructure provided by

2786:

Columbia project and associated articles to WikiProject United States. I was just converting so there was no need to double check wether they were valid at that time. Also, the user that brought that up inappropriately removed the US/DC tag from articles that clearly fell into the scope of US/DC (there were some exceptions though such as stations in Maryland and Virginia.

4236:

were not performing its work, a new user may very well add 100 or more links before someone notices and takes action. Assuming the links were inappropriate, it becomes difficult for someone like myself to respond once, say, 10 links have been successfully added by a new user because the early success provides an entitlement feeling. If link additions are reverted

3290:(this is one of the 200+ that I use to reorder sections. I only use it here because it makes a good example). Individually its not a big deal but when you have a couple hundred edits and need to do it over and over again, it slows down the time it takes for the program to process the articles and it makes the coding a lot longer and more complicated. -- 3516:. The bot created thousands of articles with factual errors and had a major security flaw that allowed anyone to run it. There was some drama; the articles were deleted and the bot was deflagged/blocked, but the operator was never blocked, and he's currently running other bots without problems. It was an isolated incident, not a pattern of behavior. 4279:

consensus which allows YouTube to be used some of the time, that consensus is on his side despite the fact that things were clearly explained that XLinkbot is only reverting new editors and IPs and all at the discussion agreed. He never protested but instead headed here. I note that he hasn't answered the question I placed to him above which is,

1187: 966: 2874:

significant drawback or errors so I do not want to be the one blamed when it starts drawing criticism. This will significantly slow the tagging process but at the same time will free me to do other project related things so just let me know. I hope this helps to clarify but please let me know if you have any more questions or comments. --

2431:

many steps still to go. It has to start somewhere, or are you just insensitive to the efforts of those who are prepared to give up their time and get such a project underway? IMHO, just throwing negative comments around a workgroup forum is not the best way to encourage those who can and do seek, and implement improvement.

3576:. I have already built in the stop button and I think its set to go for the most part. I would suggest that both be allowed. Manual edit from my main account. Automated from Bob (although there are few on the list I would trust with Automated and I would feel compelled to check a large number of them to make sure they were correct). -- 4535:). Some think that it is good to have as many links as possible about a subject .. but our policies and guidelines, which have been established by many editors, oppose that view. That a link is on topic and links to non-copyvio material is not a reason to link to it (it is also a reason not not to link to it...) 4519:. MySpace is an example - I did a statistics on that link on 30 reverts, and I found 1 which I would not personally have reverted, though I do think it was not particularly helpful even on that one. Another couple were in a 'maybe' mode, but many were not related to the page, many were dead, many were 4883:

I might agree on automatic runs on some namespaces, but not User: for one. Drafts are drafts for a reason, editors may not wish for bots to start treating them as articles. In general, there are no policies/guidelines concerning the use of references in most namespaces, so there is no reliable way of

4559:

However, and that is why XLinkBot exists, if links on a certain domain have a high hitrate of being unsuitable, then that is a reason to revert additions them and notify the adding editor of the problems. Many new editors have no clue that videos on YouTube are sometimes copyright violations, or are

4464:

but there isn't any more that I can do about it than you can do about the YouTube misconception. At the moment, it seems to be well demonstrated that YouTube links added by IPs and the newest of users are all too likely to be unsuitable if not outright linkspam, and in case of false positives the bot

4226:

I have monitored anti-spam pages for a long period and have seen many complaints about XLinkBot. I have investigated some of those complaints from time to time and have never found a "wrong" action by XLinkBot. Of course there will be some actions by XLinkBot that are not correct, but I have not seen

4206:

I think that XLinkBot's messages are adequately informative. It provides suitable links for anyone who wants to read the details. I am concerned that Cptnono might not have read the user notice XLinkBot left, since it explicitly says that the bot might have been a mistake and that s/he could revert

4175:

There are occasional false positives, but when people have actually bothered to go through the bot's history, they usually come back saying that it's 90–95% correct. (Cptnono might want to go through that exercise. I suspect it would be enlightening.) So it saves the community time, by removing so

4108:

Perhaps but if the bot operator is unwilling to discuss it in light of the 3 issues above then there is a problem. Personally I think there are few occassions were Youtube should be used. I do think that it should be allowed though. I didn't know that there was an exception list for the bot and I bet

3999:

Would appreciate it if you did not assume the worse or make unfounded allegations. The EL discussion does not have the authority to shut off a bot and isn't about the bot. It is about if there is a blanket ban on YouTube so it is going perfectly well as far as I can tell. But yes, it is like throwing

3675:

I'm not trying to sound like a smart ass here but why does it take so long for a bot request to be approved? I have seen some linger for months and others fly in and out seemingly without hesitation and there doesn't appear to be much of a trend. It seems like a week or so for discussion another week

3539:

Its no problem, if a BRFA is needed then so be it. I really don't think its necessary but if I am told to use it then I will. I just foresee drama thats all. To answer your question most of the changes are ok but where I usually run into hickups is when I rearrange the templates or occassionally when

3504:

Your concerns about "escelating series of blocks, warnings and the like" are completely ridiculous. For one, you've already been informed of the bot policy, here and in other places, so that point is moot. Second, if you screw up without a bot flag, you're still screwing up, and can still potentially

3415:

I understand what your saying I really do but the truth is I try and follow the rules of editing and although I understand the need to have bots and the like I just think its rather funny that here you have an editor who devotes a lot of time editing. Thats it, if I was making 50 edits it wouldn't be

3330:

Again these changes being useless is subjective. The Wiki software doesn't care what format teh breaks are in and will accept them many different ways. The catch here is that the information in WP including these breaks is no just in WP. There are dozens of mirror sites and even face book and some of

3141:

Although the breaks are one of them I am looking more for things like blockquote, center, big, strike through, bold, and a few others. Im not just looking to make sure they are closed but that the actually have content. If there is an opening and closing for center for instance with nothing inside it

2988:

In the spirit of full disclosure and in fairness to the issue at hand let me clarify a couple things so you can make a better judgement about whether I need a BRFA. I would also like to mention that I have admittedly made a few mistakes along the way which I suppose is natural if your doing 1000 plus

2888:

It's not a matter of you needing to run a completely automated bot, it's a matter of you at present acting like one: you made 4,901 edits yesterday alone and thousands more each day before that. That seems pretty much like a high speed, high volume of edits situation to me. Perhaps a BAG member could

2845:

I am currently concentrating on US related items that do not already have the US banner. I have also been actively monitoring new articles and add it as they appear or within a couple days. I typically do not include articles that have another state or US related project but I have made exceptions to

2543:

Ok, well to sum up, it appears we have one somewhat cantankerous editor who doesn't appreciate our efforts. I think that if North8000 believes this is as big a problem as he/she is making it out to be, then I would encourage North to start a centralized discussion to see if there is a consensus that

2320:

articles, and cannot possibly be setting any bad new precedents. However, while I'm writing this, another 10 pages have joined the list, adding to a total of anything up to 100,000 pages by the end of the year that we are at least now able to know are in need of urgent attention, and where

2276:

I think there is some misunderstanding all round. As up to 300 pages per day are escaping unpatrolled, untagged, (including attack, spam, hoax, and non English pages, etc) into the Knowledge (XXG), a suggestion was made in October at the VP to extend the 30-day backlog period. The request

4935:

I agree that supervised edits should be OK; the bot owner will want to test it on his/her own user space, and other users may want to invoke it to test draft articles. But I am not aware of any space other than article space where citations are required, so who cares if a citation is less-than-ideal

4316:

FFS, BereanHunter. You don't need to paint me as some sort of dick since I believe the the bot should be shut down. So do you have any reason to believe that the bot should continue to operate or is your argument that I am a jerk? I actually stopped following the discussion at EL since it wasn't the

4235:

of work. The advantage of using the bot is that it quickly reverts certain links added by brand-new users, and it puts a very helpful and non-bitey comment on the user's talk, and it specifically advises that the link can be re-added if wanted which will not be reverted by the bot again. If XLinkBot

3452:

Based on your last comment I wanted to clarify that the above list is only what I do on talk pages. I have a complately separate list of edits I make to articles but I haven't been doing them for a month or so because I am trying to get all the articles in the scope if US tagged as such so I can get

3133:

Concencus was garnered when the decision by the community was made to "standardize" the 1300ish WikiProject templates (except 3 (WPUSRoads, MILHIST and another one I don't remember at the moment) to all start with the standard WikiProject) instead of the myriads of things they used to be. This makes

2689:

Thanks, that finally addresses what I brought up initially. And, as an aside, I never had any complaints about your handling of this, except / until you recently wrote "rooted in his perceived ownership of the article" and Kudpunbg repeated it. This is false twice over. But lets move on. Thanks

1665:

OMG. The question is about this, "Not actually changing the output is by default against bot usage..." Now, I am unwatching this page. Please don't not answer my question again, as there is no point. When someone asks a question and the response is defensive non-answerment, there's usually a reason.

1614:

I see nothing at all there that is "putting you in your place"; at worst H3llkn0wz's tone might be read as a little defensive. It seems to me that H3llkn0wz just explained where you were mistaken and gave some more detail as to why he thinks more input should be sought. What specifically do you take

762:

The dilemma above is that it is not clear whether the restriction on semi-automated article creation applies to the "manual" bot-like template substitution this user was doing. The first proposal tries to cut the knot by expanding the restriction to manual large-scale article creation. This comes at

502:

Exactly. This proposal is ridiculous. These articles are manually created. A template which just displays the title of the article is certainly not remotedly "automated". The articles themselves are manual driven. People should be free to create articles were are notable and not have to ask. Silly.

4354:

I think it is good that it only looks at newcomers but I think that the principle of that is not inline with our stated intentions. I do not think the bot would be approved if its sole purpose was to remove YouTube links from newcomers but that is just an assumption. And why is it acceptable for me

4073:

I'm disagreeing with shutting off the bot over a singular issue. The correct course of action for someone who doesn't think that YouTube should be automatically reverted should have been to try to gain consensus to have the singular entry for YouTube removed from XLinkbot's revert list...not try to

4056:

with comments. I think the current method of automatically removing Youtube videos on sight is a bad one since some videos are added to Youtube, for use in Knowledge (XXG), because they exceed the 100MB limit of the Wikimedia servers. If a way can be devised to allow certain videos then the bot can

3943:

All the operator needs to do in my opinion to stay running is not remove links to YouTube. I believe we should err on the side of caution if the bot is editing against consensus since the policy is clear. It is not the bots job to start discussion "just in case" but to preform menial tasks that are

3519:

This has been explained before and you didn't quite seem to get it, but I'll try again. The reason for the lessening of the distinction between fully automatic bots and semi-automatic tools is because the specific tool used to make an edit is not really important. What's important is the content of

3281:

So in the case of this one, if one group says they like the spaces and another group says they don't like the spaces and there is no community concensus which is preferred, and it doesn't hurt anything either way, which way do you go? Do you leave them be and be forced to add extra codeing to every

3190:

It's considered by some (including me) to be "cluttering the diff" because the diff is full of lines showing that you removed that whitespace. It's particularly a problem on active pages where some people may keep up with ongoing conversations by looking at the diff since their last visit; the real

2919:

Fair enough, just let me know what you want me to do. I certainly can't say I never made a mistake but if I did and found out about it I did try and go back and fix it. Regarding the watchlist thing I mark most of the talk page edits as minor per a request a week or so ago so most of them shouldn't

2863:

Precedent has also been established for these types of edits by users with far more edits (and more edits a day, a week and a month) than I who are currently performing these types of edits with their main accounts. It also states that the edit and tool should be noted in the edit summery, which it

2668:

on all pages created by that process. We didn't create the template which gives the "orders", it has been used for other purposes for well over a year. And I dispute the notion that it is "ordering" you to do anything. It is certainly strongly recommending that the article creator doesn't remove

2554:

No trick, the page generation is just wrong. It's too bad we didn't made subsequent requests use a slash instead, e.g. "Knowledge (XXG):Bots/Requests for approval/RjwilmsiBot/8", as that could easily be made to work correctly. With the way things are, someone would have to make a hack using
