Bot monitoring of Introduction
About a year ago, Tawkerbot2 started monitoring Introduction, and it did a great job of keeping the top two lines intact. See my original request explaining the requirements User talk:Tawker/Apr06

AntiVandalbot was at one time also monitoring this page, but now it is not. Can you have it start monitoring the page again? Or, if it is not too much trouble, extract out the code for a seperate bot to monitor this page (and possibly Introduction 2 and Introduction 3.

As a reminder the first two lines of Introduction should be: Thx in adv -- Trödel  14:20, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Thx - I'll do some testing :) -- Trödel 13:49, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
 * It doesn't seem to be working, I'll talk with Martinbot's operator, but if there is someone else I should talk to please let me know TIA -- Trödel 14:11, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
 * MartinBot is not working correctly in reverting the vandalism - could you take a look at it. Thx -- Trödel 20:51, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok, I'll see what I can do. I'm out of town for a few days, so I'll see if I have time to pound away -- Tawker 21:15, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Have a good easter weekend and worry about it when you get back :) -- Trödel 01:50, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

User:AntiVandalBot
Has this bot been disabled? It stopped editing on April 4th. I also noticed that it wasn't placing warnings on the vandals' talk page. -- Hdt83 Chat 09:20, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

This was a legitimate edit showing the position a single had reached in the Italian charts, and there seems no reason why the bot should consider it to be vandalism. Is the bot malfunctioning or is this simply something that can be put right by restoring the edit? Skinsmoke 16:22, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
 * It was the CAPS in the edit that caused it. I'll see what I can do... its a hard one to catch, most of the time its edits like XXX IS STUPID that we see which the bot is designed to catch, thanks for the note and fixing it. -- Tawker 23:01, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Overtime (ice hockey)
Don't know if you will see this in time, but I highly suggest protecting the page. Its going to see a lot of attention in the next few days, and already is getting hit pretty hard. Kaiser matias 07:45, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank you
Thank you for semi protecting my user page. Although the vandalism was funny, it was getting a bit old. Thank you again. Moorematthews 17:27, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Request for admin review
Hello Tawker, I am asking you to get involved in a controversy. I believe that SlimVirgin violated policy by blocking User:Tsunami Butler with whom she was involved in a content dispute. It looks like she blocked others (including me) for similar reasons. In my case she unblocked me, but the other blocks remain. This became the subject of an RfC which was deleted by Jayjg.

However, SlimVirgin posted on my talk page that I could choose an admin to review her actions (see User_talk:Don't_lose_that_number.) I hope you are willing to do it. It seems like a lot of other admins observe a Code of silence. --Don&#39;t lose that number 01:18, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
