User:Goalkeeperbot/Disclaimer

Goalkeeperbot is reverting edits based on rules. When such rules have been added to Goalkeeperbot it means that there is, or has been, significant vandalism/spamming related to that rule.

Reversions of Goalkeeperbot may result in some collateral damage, but at the moment the only alternatives are:
 * 1) page protection, which would result in IPs or accounts not being able to edit the page at all
 * 2) pre-emptive blocking of accounts, a bad faith solution.
 * 3) Continuous blocking of IPs or large IP-ranges, which would result in these IPs not to be able to edit Wikipedia at all

When you are reverted by Goalkeeperbot, but you feel you have been reverted unjustly, do not re-edit that page, or re-add that link, but open a new item by clicking this link to open a new subject on Goalkeeperbots talkpage. An uninvolved editor will then perform the edit for you.

Reversion of page-edits by new users
Reverts edits of registered users when the user account was created less than # days ago, or when the user has less than # edits. Can be used on pages which get heavily hit by sockpuppets.

Reversion of page-edits by anonymous with a low number of edits
Similar as above, for IP accounts with less than # edits.
