Accusing me of vandalism
✅ There is a user, User:Katieh5584, who continues to delete my edits after ClueBot has deleted an edit because it thought it was vandalism. My edit is on the page Brutus Buckeye. It is NOT vandalism, and this is very clear. All I did was mention his alias which IS a real alias. Why was my edit continuously deleted, and especially why is it continuously treated as vandalism when it isn't? I tried to ask him/her but he/she reverted my edits to her talk page.

Additionally, ClueBot is now reverting every edit I make and calling it vandalism. MarcusBrutusofNorthDakota (talk) 17:36, 14 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi Marcus, have you tried contacting the user on her talk page? Your edit likely keeps getting reverted for a number of reasons: You don't provide a source, and the other editors may not find the nickname materially different or unique to really warrant inclusion. "Brutus Buckeye" and "Brutus the Buckeye" are fairly similar. It's perhaps akin to listing the various ways you can refer to Popeye. "Popeye (also commonly referred to as Popeye the Sailor or Popeye the Sailor Man)", which I'll point out is not done at Popeye. A similar, but unique exception might be with Smokey Bear, where editors have chosen to declare "Smokey the Bear" an erroneous phrasing. Though you might be correct that people call the mascot Brutus THE Buckeye, it may not be the correct name of the mascot. Just a thought. Hope that helped.

 * ClueBot is continuously reverting constructive edits from my account. Such as on some disambiguation pages I remove the periods after the notes, since periods are only supposed to be with complete sentences. Then suddenly, ClueBot reverts it. What is this about and why can't I report this to their talk page? MarcusBrutusofNorthDakota (talk) 18:25, 14 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi, if you make a change, you should use an edit summary. That's standard procedure. The edit summary field appears beneath the edit window, and right above the "Save page" button. At this point, ClueBot is probably evaluating the entirety of your edit behavior. So if you are removing content (even periods) without explaining what you're doing, that could trip the filter. Also, if ClueBot notices that most of your edits are being reverted, it may be thinking that you are being deliberately disruptive. I don't know how ClueBot does its magic, but edit summaries will help other editors decide whether you are editing in earnest or being disruptive.

 * You need to follow the instructions at Cluebot and not use the talk page. I've reported the error. And messing with warnings as you did above is a bit old and doesn't impress. Dougweller (talk) 19:51, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
