The Godzilla (1998 film) article seems to be experiencing persistent vandalism by User_talk:Reymart_Christian_Cruz and User talk:Francis parker (check the revision history) which I more than bet is the exact same person using two sock puppet accounts, given that both user's past edits on said article are exactly the same. Cluebot did apparently warn Raymart about continuous disruptive editing back in September 11, 2014 but both users have returned on November with the same edits that got them in trouble in the first place and Cluebot didn't apparently block these accounts. It seems clear to me that this person has not learned or heeded warnings about vandalism or disruptive editing. I vote to block this user's two accounts. Armegon (talk) 01:57, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi

First of all, ClueBot is a robot, not a human and not an administrator, so it can't block people.

The normal place to report vandalism would be here, however in this instance I don't think that this would work because in the last few months there have only been two edits between the two accounts. As an administrator, I think AIV would class this as not enough recent action to warrant blocking.

I would suggest raising a sockpuppet investigation which will determine whether or not these accounts are indeed the same person--5 albert square (talk) 02:13, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article 15500 Anantpatel is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/15500 Anantpatel until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Boleyn (talk) 19:05, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

I was surprised it didn't revert this edit. Tutelary (talk) 04:00, 30 November 2014 (UTC)

ClueBot NG does catch the majority of edits. However, some do occasionally fall through the net. Thanks for the revert --5 albert square (talk) 06:37, 30 November 2014 (UTC)

That may be a programming block... as PHP uses $ for variables so it requesting an article named $1 would get it really confused. - Rich^T|C|E-Mail 18:17, 30 November 2014 (UTC)

I'm surprised the old ClueBot was able to edit the page five years ago - [1]. --I am k6ka ^{Talk to me!} _{See what I have done} 19:51, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

Why you deleted my corrections? Re: Sarmatian Venedi, in original text is "quidam haec habitari ad Vistlam usque fluvium a Sarmatis, Venedis, Sciris, Hirris tradunt," different tribes. Link: http://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/L/Roman/Texts/Pliny_the_Elder/4*.html

Re: Vennones the Boldest warriors, original text # 206/8: http://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Strabo/4F*.html

Where my mistake?

Vielba (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 11:24, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

@Vielba: Hi, ClueBot NG is a robot, not a human. To report an error with the bot, please see WP:CBNGFP. --I am k6ka ^{Talk to me!} _{See what I have done} 19:48, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

It missed these two edits blanking a page within the Wikipedia namespace. Does it not run in the Wikipedia namespace? Tutelary (talk) 19:38, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

@Tutelary: ClueBot NG only reverts vandalism on pages in the main namespace. If you connect to the bot's IRC channel, you'll see it ignores edits that are not in the main namespace. --I am k6ka ^{Talk to me!} _{See what I have done} 19:47, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

Is there a reason for this? Because essay pages are enigmatic and may be prone to heavy deletion/stuff that looks like vandalism? Tutelary (talk) 19:48, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

I'm guessing because some project pages may contain material that are a common sight in vandalism edits. The bot has been known to revert very poorly written edits, since it uses an advanced neural network to determine vandalism, unlike the old ClueBot, which only looked for simple, obvious vandalism patterns. Writing something silly, like at WP:DDTMP, might trigger ClueBot NG, while ClueBot, not seeing any obscenities or ALL CAPS or XOXOXOXOXOX!!!!!, would safely ignore it. I believe ClueBot also monitored more namespaces, like the user namespace, but this was disabled in ClueBot NG for presumably the reason above. --I am k6ka ^{Talk to me!} _{See what I have done} 19:57, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

Hello Kfka. Hafspajen (talk) 05:29, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

hey how could I have a bot on the page List of Turkic dynasties and countriesTurkic_ Warrior 21:55, 7 December 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mehmeett21 (talk • contribs) 21:55, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

@Mehmeett21: What do you need a bot for? --I am k6ka ^{Talk to me!} _{See what I have done} 02:32, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi thank you for the help — Preceding unsigned comment added by Harry epic (talk • contribs) 18:25, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

I'm not sure if this is intended behavior or not or if there is a parameter I need to set or not, but ClueBot isn't respecting DNAU tags (See 22:29, December 9, 2014 (UTC) section 2/5 it archived). Thanks! — {{U|Technical 13}} ^{(e • t • c)} 02:33, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

Moved from @Cobi:'s talk page @Rich Smith: you may also be able to help with this :)--5 albert square (talk) 02:39, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

The bot does not read timestamps, and so is not fooled by the hack that {{DNAU}} uses. The bot actually goes based on the history of the page. It will honor {{User:ClueBot III/DoNotArchiveUntil|Unix time}}, however, but you must not subst it. -- Cobi^(t|c|b) 03:46, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

• Cobi, thanks for the reply. I've updated the {{DNAU}} code accordingly so that CB3 will observe when that template is used (since I don't see any documentation anywhere for using CB3's template directly and I'm fairly sure most editors don't know about it and really don't need to). — {{U|Technical 13}} ^{(e • t • c)} 00:36, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

Where did you get your name from, ClueBot? What does the 'NG' part mean? Why aren't you called 'Anti-Vandal Bot'? Luxure Σ 11:35, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi, it's because it's a roBOT run by CLUEnet. If I remember correctly, NG stands either for Next Generation or New Generation, referencing the fact it replaced User:ClueBot--5 albert square (talk) 20:37, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

@Luxure: Also, Anti-Vandal Bot was already taken. It was one of Wikipedia's earliest anti-vandal bots, before that there were the Tawkerbots, and after AVB there was MartinBot. All of these bots are no longer running. --I am k6ka ^{Talk to me!} _{See what I have done} 23:23, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

@Luxure: Indeed, 5 albert square is right, ClueBot NG is named from it's devs and admins coming from ClueNet and it indeed being a bot. The NG is Next Generation - Rich^T|C|E-Mail 22:06, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

Do you think you can do something about this guy? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/70.54.4.143

He literally does nothing but change whatever a current season's reception is to the opposite, also with unsourced and inflammatory material. Thanks. 169.231.58.247 (talk) 02:36, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

Hello

Please note that ClueBot is a robot, not a human, and is therefore unable to answer queries or block users.

In future, the place to report incidents like this is WP:AIV where an administrator can review the evidence. As it happens, I am one of those admins so I've had a look over the IP edits. The IP has only been warned once so I think if you reported this at AIV just now, it would probably be declined because of that. I have issued a final warning, if they vandalise again please raise a report to WP:AIV. Thanks.--5 albert square (talk) 02:47, 16 December 2014 (UTC)--5 albert square (talk) 02:47, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

The link in that section leads to review.cluebot.org, an expired domain name. Elsewhere on the page, I found a link to review.cluebot.cluenet.org, which appears to be the correct site. Fix please?

Oh, and thanks for the great service the ClueBots provide. I don't know the field, but it looks like you're making nontrivial advances in machine learning.
