IP-Jacked?
I was recently informed by the bot that someone at my IP address childishly vandalized an article about a German city I have never heard of. While I apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused you, should I also be concerned about the safety of my IP address? --71.31.92.63 07:58, 28 July 2007 (UTC) P.S. If I did vandalize a Wiki page, I'd put a lot more thought and effort into it than this guy.
 * ISP's randomly assign IP addresses and change the assignments around fequently - it's likely nothing to worry about -- Tawker 18:37, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Helpful rebuttal?
I have received a warning in which I am accused of vandalising Wikipedia and I am intrigued. Be assured that this response is an attempt to improve your processes and not simply a diatribe. I was not, until now, a registered Wikipedia user because I have no intention of adding to or in any other way editing articles. (I have created myself an account to obfuscate my details from public view.) Being on a network, it is possible that others have accessed these articles but I recognise some of those I am supposed to have vandalised and it is possible that I have visited them all, as is the way when surfing. I wonder, then, if the bot is picking up that I copied words or phrases from articles, or that it is picking up, somehow, edits I am making to other files while the Wikipedia page is open. It seems extremely unlikely that this would be the case but I have no other explanation. I have taken the time to alert you to a potential error so that if you receive another similar response, you at least have a precedence. Sincerely, Jumpjet 11:55, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Reverted Vandalism???
I notice that my additions to the Suzanne Shell article were reverted due to "vandalism."

I had added information about 1) a court case filed by Suzanne Shell where she made copyright claims. (Copyright issues were the reason there is an article at all.) and 2) a link to a police department press release that is relevant.

I would like to give a human a chance to respond before I re-enter the information.....

I like the Idea
of this Bot. In my main project de.wikipedia we have not got something like this. May I get the scoure somewehre to make it to a semi automatic Bot and run it on de? Bes regards, 217.225.177.1 18:14, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
