Apparent false positive from ChenzwBot[change source]

See this diff. --Auntof6 (talk) 05:41, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have taken a look at the edit. Unfortunately, given the nature of that particular rule which matched the edit, I would rather that it remain as it is and deal with the occasional false positive. Chenzw  Talk  11:52, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No problem, just thought I should notify you. I don't know how to check which rule was matched, or if you even want anyone else evaluating these. --Auntof6 (talk) 21:37, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Two level ones[change source]

Please investigate why the bot added another lvl 1 warnings on User talk:46.33.156.78. May it be because of "uw-huggle1"? Josve05a (talk) 14:02, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yup, there is an issue with the huggle warn template. I have added a workaround in the bot to detect this for now, but will take an opportunity in the future to fix up the huggle templates to match the layout of our current warning templates. Chenzw  Talk  14:28, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Am I allowed to know what you did to the abuse filter?[change source]

The software says "no"--what about you? Krett12 (talk) 03:12, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If you were referring to what I did to Special:AbuseFilter/52, sorry, no. For some filters, details are not revealed so as to avoid others from attempting to circumvent the abuse filter. In such cases, only administrators will be able to see the details. Chenzw  Talk  03:58, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please delete vernal ponds[change source]

^Krett12 (talk) 14:41, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please give us time in future. When you tag the article for deletion, it will appear in the quick deletion category automatically, and we will look at it once we are free. Chenzw  Talk  14:46, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Ok. I just have bad luck, usually I'm the only one online whenever I need an admin, so when there is one, I pounce all over it. :/ Krett12 (talk) 14:47, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewing Official talk page is protected so I will comment here[change source]

I am aware that you can see stuff that I can't, but unless revisions are hidden, everyone can see the {{sock puppet}} template. Krett12 (talk) 21:57, 26 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

So? That editor is going to remain blocked. I will not lift it. If you are concerned about this and want to bring this up for further appeal, go to WP:AN. Chenzw  Talk  02:58, 27 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I wasn't saying he should be unblocked. Infact, I was saying he should be blocked. Krett12 (talk) 13:57, 27 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
