Buffalo NY edit to "Nightlife"
To whom it may concern:

I made an edit to the "nightlife" section of the Buffalo, NY entry, changing "alternative lifestyle bars" to "gay and lesbian bars." Why would one prefer a euphemism with a politically volatile and contested inflection? As a former resident of Buffalo, I can attest that the "alternative lifestyle" bars do not in fact cater to "alternative lifestyles," -- whatever they may be-- but rather, are old-fashioned gay bars. Hence the edit, which is not vandalism, in my opinion, lest one consider the very words "gay and lesbian" more problematic than "alternative lifestyle"-- certainly not the case in most published writing. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.200.80.72 (talk) 17:20, 26 January 2007 (UTC).

Separate instance for the Main Page featured article?
Hey, would it be possible to create a separate instance of AntiVandalBot that would specifically monitor the Featured Article displayed on the Main Page? Since it is vandalized at a much higher rate than any other page, this might reduce the amount of time it spent in a vandalized state. I would prefer this than protecting the main page featured article.--Aervanath 08:16, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

AntiVandalBot not working?
Hi, I was wondering why AntiVandalBot has stopped working in the past few days? The only thing it seems to do is restore Introduction and nothing else. Cheers, Jayden54 21:02, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

AVB criteria
Hi there,

I ran across (and reverted) a bit of vandalism that looks like the sort of thing AVB should have picked up. Are 'cocksucker' and 'cocksuckers' in AVB's vocabulary?

Automated message to bot owners
As a result of discussion on the village pump and mailing list, bots are now allowed to edit up to 15 times per minute. The following is the new text regarding bot edit rates from Bot Policy: "Until new bots are accepted they should wait 30-60 seconds between edits, so as to not clog the recent changes list and user watchlists. After being accepted and a bureaucrat has marked them as a bot, they can edit at a much faster pace. Bots doing non-urgent tasks should edit approximately once every ten seconds, while bots who would benefit from faster editing may edit approximately once every every four seconds." Also, to eliminate the need to spam the bot talk pages, please add Bot owners' noticeboard to your watchlist. Future messages which affect bot owners will be posted there. Thank you. --Mets501 00:31, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
