Template talk:Gesprochener Artikel [edit]
I'm sorry? What's the problem with my edit? --TMg 18:57, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
- Apologies but an IP edit with the summary "test" is quite typical of the current levels of vandalism. Had you been logged in I assure you I would not have reverted it. --Herby talk thyme 07:43, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
- IP = vandal? Bad style. Please look at the content of an edit. This was no vandalism. --TMg 13:12, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
- Nope that is not what I said. I said that the combination of the edit summary and the fact that it was from an IP is very characteristic of sum Xrumer bot behaviours. I also apologised and I am genuinely sorry about it. --Herby talk thyme 13:25, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
- You say you did not looked at the content of the edit? Is this how vandal fighting works? IP + short summary = revert? What do you think is the intention of a spam bot that adds a test template transclusion to a template talk page? It's not that I have a problem with vandal fighting. This is a very important job. Please delete more images (yes, I'm serious, there are way to much out-of-scope images at commons). But we (= all MediaWiki projects) have a major problem with new users giving up because their first edits "disapear" and they don't understand why. Please be careful. Thanks. --TMg 14:17, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
- Doesn't the XRumer one say "Test, just a test"? PiRSquared17 (talk) 12:05, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

Photo of Cheetah [edit]
Hello. I was uploading this photo of Savannah the cheetah, and I received notice that you immediately deleted it. Why? The Flickr page clearly says it is released under a cc-by license. – Quadell (talk) 16:50, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
- Oops, sorry, nevermind. When I tried to use the Flickr upload bot, I was told you had deleted the image before I had a chance to edit it (within seconds)... but the logs don't show that you deleted any images today at all. I think what happened is, you had previously deleted an image with the name I was trying to use, and the bot got confused. I apologize. Have a great day! – Quadell (talk) 17:12, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
Special:AbuseFilter/112 live [edit]
I have tightened the filter to less edits, and removed a bit of text. There is still only the one false positive, I have set it to be actively blocking those, and I will look to see what we can do with 113. For the moment, I may turn it off, or we can look to the next iteration of 112, and tune it to pick any changes the spammers make. — billinghurst sDrewth 01:12, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
To a hardworking colleague [edit]
I know you're having a break right now, but thank you very much for all the hard work you do here and elsewhere. It's appreciated! Trijnsteltalk 01:05, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

a heads-up [edit]
In 2011 you participated in Commons:Administrators/Requests/Jcb_(de-adminship 2). That discussion ended with User:Jcb losing his administrator privileges.
This note is to inform you that User:Odder proposed Jcb have unconconditional access to administrator privileges restored.
Commons:Administrators/Requests/Jcb (readmin) is scheduled to close on May 20th.

Care to comment? [edit]
Hi Herbythyme, User:Jcb recently advised me to not to appeal for blocks against group usernames here. Since I have invoked a block action by you in the discussion, will you please comment in the discussion? TIA Rahul Bott (talk) 05:11, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
