Just another poke about the bot. Any chance you could even just repost the code to a repo somewhere. I know you are totally busy with school and crap right now but you would be really helping the wiki if you could help us with this so I can get the bot/a bot running while you are away. -DJSasso (talk) 12:32, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the extended delay, I have sent an email with further instructions about the repo. From what I remember, work on the current iteration of the bot (which was in turn derived from Chris G's and Bluegoblin7's code) started when revscoring/ORES was just recently introduced, so it relies on an extremely outdated patchwork of custom python scripts and a modified (and ancient) revscoring library. I have restarted the bot for now, and will look into locating the python dependencies. Chenzw  Talk  10:17, 24 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I missed seeing your bot in #cvn-simplewikis. If there's anything I can do to help, please let me know. Vermont | reply here 11:08, 24 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Cool good to see it back. Hope you are doing well. -DJSasso (talk) 01:09, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hope this message from me didn't cause you to rekindle an addiction since I see you back quite a bit now. lol... -DJSasso (talk) 16:44, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Well, won't be as much of an addiction as it used to be ;) I will probably be editing within much more predictable time periods rather than randomly throughout the whole day. Chenzw  Talk  16:47, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently the bot has an extra colon in its signature?? There is another user going around removing colons from the bots sigs. -DJSasso (talk) 02:34, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That signature problem was a while ago. I'm pretty sure Chenzw fixed it a few months ago. hiàn 04:16, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
If I remember correctly, it was a change in the MediaWiki parser which led to the issue. I am not sure how many pages are affected, but will find the time to run them through AWB (w/ flag) this weekend instead, because the current series of fixes are triggering new messages banners everywhere.

Cutler vandal[change source]

Sorry for the attention Cutler has been paying to Simple of late. I'm not entirely sure why he shifted focus from en to here, I'm not aware of any edit filter setup to block him (although I should request one...). As a thought, nearly all of his posts include a link to a specific honorstates page. Would it be possible to add that specific link to either a spam list or bot revert list? I'm not familiar enough with this site to know what vandal tools are available here. I'm trying to search for this person's name and usually one of the case numbers a couple of times a day, but he's gone into overdrive of late. Just some thoughts. Thanks! Ravensfire (talk) 17:30, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the prod! I have finally set aside some time to create filter 70. Chenzw  Talk  00:53, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Awesome - thank you! Ravensfire (talk) 02:49, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Block to 164.166.223.23[change source]

Hello. 164.166.223.23 is vandalizing Zebra many times in a short period of time. Can you block the IP address and semi-protect Zebra? Psl85 Talk 17:37, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) @Psl85: The user has been blocked for a week. There is no need to semiprotect the page. Please make this kind of report at WP:VIP instead of on individual admins' talk pages. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 20:28, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
