- Shadowbot wrongly revereted a changed I have done to Chad parliamentary election stub. Chad is in non conditions to organize any election right now ,even a rigged election, that's why it is our duty to tell that in 2007 it is difficult elections will be really held. I am the same editor of Electoral calendar which is taken as references for all kind of elections worldwide,including the link here in Chad parliamentary election. For now, we cannot speculate more about this election, just tell it may be delayed indefinitely.(it was initially scheduled for May 2006). Cheers. Maximiliano Herrera

Shadowbot
Hi Alex. I am just wondering why the various shadowbots are not in Category:Perlwikipedia bots. (I assume they do use your Perlwikipedia framework.) Thanks. You can reply here. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 00:33, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * The original Shadowbot was recently renamed to AntiSpamBot, and I've just added Shadowbot3 to the list. Thanks for pointing this out! Shadow1  (talk) 20:08, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Regarding reverts to Dragon
The link I posted on Dragon was not a spam link. Draconian.com actually has literally hundreds of stats regarding dragons. Plus, it has a few dozen links on the Pictures page so you can learn yet more about dragons. All you have to do is click on the dragon logo.

Thanks,

History query
Hi Alex. I stumbled onto Werdabot, and I saw that the code it uses is rather similar to Perlwikipedia. So here's a question I have. Who was the original author of Perlwikipedia, and I wonder if you could tell me a bit of history about the package. I am just curious. Cheers, Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 03:49, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * (Disclaimer: Rather long history coming) In September-October of 2006, Eagle 101 and I began work on two bots that would remove spam from Wikipedia: LinkWatcher, an IRC-only bot, and Shadowbot, LinkWatcher's on-wiki counterpart. Shadowbot was written in Perl, the only real programming language I had experience in at the time, and, not finding any suitable frameworks in existence, I was forced to write an entire editing framework myself. Later, around November-December, once I had perfected the code into something readable, I forked Shadowbot's underlying framework into Perlwikipedia. After a series of merges, Shadowbot was later moved from its old framework to Perlwikipedia. So, I'm the original author of the package.
 * Werdnabot, on the other hand, was based on the MediaWiki module, which I was too frustrated with to use. Around the same time Perlwikipedia was created, Werdnabot broke down due to software changes which the author of MediaWiki hadn't fixed. I offered to help, and rewrote the bot to use Shadowbot's pre-Perlwikipedia framework. That's also the reason the bot was blocked several times, after I neglected to check the ordering of variables when I called the editing functions :). Shortly afterward, the bot broke down again, and Werdna left the project. Naturally, I rewrote the bot again to use Perlwikipedia, which was now a much more stable framework. So, Werdnabot's code is really just a pre-Perlwikipedia module that later evolved into Perlwikipedia itself. Shadow1  (talk) 22:53, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I guess by MediaWiki you mean meta:WWW::Mediawiki::Client. I used it too, but I agree that it can be a pain (and is buggy too). I am now firmly in the Perlwikipedia camp. :) Thanks for the nice package. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 23:58, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi
I was wondering, could you assist me in creating a bot like the old Hagermanbot? Respond on my talk page please.  SLSB  talk  •  contrib   15:19, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Deletion to Feliks Kon
Thanks for deleting ALL my edits to the Feliks Kon article! However, please read the footnote that contains the one "problem" address of "republika\.pl" -- This is not spam, but an archive of the history of broadcasting in the Polish language from Moscow during the war. I have attempted to "hide" the URL within the footnote so that your BOT will not erase the article again. Thank you. — CZmarlin 03:33, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Last I checked, the page is in Polish. This is an English encyclopedia. Shadow1  (talk) 16:29, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
 * It is true that this reference is in Polish, but that is allowed in the English Wikipedia. There are many articles that have footnotes linked to other languages. Moreover, other Wikis in turn use references written in English. Nevertheless, this language issue does not make something written in Polish is a form of "spam" that must be deleted. Not only that, but your BOT also eliminated all the other edits and references that were sourced from verifiable sources in the English language. Cheers! — CZmarlin 17:37, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
 * The bot is designed to do that. Programs screw up sometimes, I'm not going to change the bot just because it causes a problem with one person. Shadow1  (talk) 17:46, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

HagermanBot
I would like to, but I have never created a bot and may need help. I have followed all the directions here.  SLSB  talk  •  contrib   16:32, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
