A barnstar for you!

	The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
	Well done on Anti-vandalism. Not sure if the Barnstar should got to the bot or to the operators, but I'll let you figure it out. :) Naraht (talk) 17:25, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Aw, thanks. I wasn't expecting to get one this early! Rcsprinter (gossip) 18:07, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Hello. False positive at [1]. Thanks, Filing Flunky (talk) 17:21, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

It's OK. The speedy tag must have got caught up in the example image removal. I can try and get it not to do that in future. Thanks for letting me know, must have slipped past me. Rcsprinter (talk) 17:47, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

Anantavaram wrong removal

removed the wrong edits at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Anantavaram&diff=prev&oldid=470426723

two and three edits prior were test edits, but not the one it removed. I have fixed the page up. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:03, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

APM Header line removed along with example

Removed a header line along with the example.jpg here: [2] — Preceding unsigned comment added by LarryDragich (talk • contribs) 10:51, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

Ah, so it did. Because the header was not in ==Header== form, it must have thought that was vandalism too. Thanks for letting me know. Rcsprinter (warn) 16:11, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

Failed undo

I'm guessing this was an attempt to undo this. Missed slightly. - TB (talk) 20:50, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Regex removals can be tricky sometimes. There's nothing I can do about those, but I'll try and make sure it doesn't happen again. Thanks for letting me know about the edits. Rcsprinter (articulate) 11:03, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

Was trying to upload an image for the article for the wiki page on Ryen McPherson, but I don't think I am able to yet as I only created an account a few days ago.

I had reverted what was possibly vandalism and was certainly unreferenced. Did something go wrong? Acleron (talk) 23:50, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

Odd replacement?

I'm not sure how this bot operates, but this diff was certainly out there. I just wanted to let you know in case that is something that needs fixing. Trigaranus (talk) 01:02, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

The links added seem to lead to an East Germanic tribe. Don't know why you are making a fuss; I think it has worked. You may discuss this matter further if you need. Rcsprinter (natter) 15:15, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

My fussmakeage is prompted by the fact that all the bot's new interwiki links led to the wrong East Germanic tribe. There were quite a few existing links to the correct tribe on other language WPs. What the bot action did was replace all of them with links to a different tribe. Trigaranus (talk) 12:38, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Er, could you explain how? File:Example.jpg is not to be used in any articles. Rcsprinter (articulate) 15:13, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Aha! A false positive false positive! When I read "Reverted possible test edit(s) to article," I took that to mean that my then-recent edit had been reverted. I knew my edit had NOT been a test edit. So the only issue with the edit your bot did is that the edit summary was less than clear. Adding "partially" would improve it in such situations. Far from critical. Good bot-herder! :-) --Elvey (talk) 23:11, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

hello,

so why your bot "removes" the categories on User:GreatOrangePumpkin/Sandbox9? Why I can't simply hide them? Regards.--GoP_T^C_N 15:58, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

I'm afraid I don't quite understand your query - the bot removes any categories from sandbox pages such as yours because it isn't a proper article yet. WP:USERNOCAT explains the reasons for this, what was up with the edit? Rcsprinter (state the obvious (or not)) 19:28, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

It does not "remove" at all, but simply put a colon after the brackets, so it takes time to revert this when I move it to main space. Why I can't just hide the categories? Regards.--GoP_T^C_N 19:43, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

It removes them from the category, that is what is meant by removing. I can't do anything about your case. Somebody can easily fix this when it is moved to the mainspace. Rcsprinter (tell me stuff) 17:10, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

remove DEFAULTSORT from non-article and non-article-talk pages

Hello, When you make edits like this [3], could you also insert a ":" into the DEFAULTSORT calls (i.e., change {{DEFAULTSORT to {{:DEFAULTSORT ) to prevent the page being included in Category:Pages_with_DEFAULTSORT_conflicts? Articles with more than one DEFAULTSORT and article talk pages with more than one listas parameter will have to be fixed manually. Regards, Illia Connell (talk) 23:58, 15 October 2012 (UTC)

Of course, integrated. Rcsprinter (chat) @ 12:39, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

Great! Thanks Illia Connell (talk) 13:05, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

False positive

Hello, Bot. Contrary to your claim at Chelse Pike, my edit was not a test edit but one that is done in good faith, because sticky prods aren't normally converted to CSD templates. --TYelliot | Talk | Contribs 10:55, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

Message on user talk page when removing article categories from userspace?

Hi,

Would you consider having the bot leave a message on users' talk pages when you remove article categories from userspace (like DPL bot does when it finds disambiguation issues)?

I was drafting an article in my Sandbox and your bot changed some category names. The problem was, I didn't notice at the time the bot had done this, I didn't notice when I pasted it into the page I had been editing, and I didn't even notice then straight away. When I did notice that the article had broken categories, I thought it had been some error of my own doing a careless Find-Replace - I didn't realise the original text in my sandbox had been changed by the bot. So I didn't even learn that userspace shouldn't contain categories.

It was only weeks later that I happened to notice that I wasn't the only person who had ever edited my Sandbox, and then I looked at what the bot had done, and only then did I learn that I shouldn't have categories in my userspace.

Hope you'll consider this suggestion

edits removed

Why has the BOT removed my edits? The page is not a TEST PAGE. Londonalways (talk) 16:37, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Your edits messed up all the formatting. If it appears more neat without all the example objects the bot won't flag it for reverting. Sir Rcsprinter, Bt (warn) @ 16:41, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Edit summary

I noticed in the edit summary "Removing article categories and/or interwiki links on non-articles (Why?)", the "Why?" link explains why categories are removed, but not interwiki links. Can this be updated? Jackmcbarn (talk) 17:17, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Nasrin Alavi

You viewed this article on 9 August. You can't see it now, but I fail to understand you failed to note that it was a blatant attack page of the worst kind. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 08:41, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

This is an automatic program which scans through pages and makes changes in regex. It therefore cannot read the page and have any clue of the content, even attack pages. I did not see it because I don't look through every edit the bot makes - I don't need to because I know it works. Neither of us have done anything wrong here. Rcsprinter (converse) @ 09:10, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

So you're saying that the bot automatically patrolls pages without reviewing them????????????? Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 12:37, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

That response is most unlike you, Kudpung. I am suspecting your account has perhaps been compromised. Anyway, I don't understand what you're saying; here's a link to the BRfA if it helps. Rcsprinter (warn) @ 13:34, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

Being snarky doesn't help. I don't want to sort through your BRFA when you can give me a clear answer here. If it is patrolling new pages automatically, I will pull the plug on it. Thanks. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 13:54, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

I don't know what you're talking about. It is not patrolling pages. Check the log. Rcsprinter (yak) @ 13:58, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

That's still not a very helpful answer - why do automatically assume that everyone knows how bots work? Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 14:20, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

How can I give a helpful answer if I don't know what you're saying. If you look at the patrol log of this bot, it has not been reviewing articles. That's simply assuming you would look at the log, not assuming you know anything about bots. All it does is edit the categories of AfCs, nothing to do with patrolling. Rcsprinter (natter) @ 14:26, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

Interwikilinks

If you look here, you can seethat the bot chnaged [[:sv:Special:PermanentLink/25110878|the Swedish Wikipedia, Anna Olsdotter Arnmar]] to [[sv:Special:PermanentLink/25110878|the Swedish Wikipedia, Anna Olsdotter Arnmar]], which is...not good. (t) Josve05a (c) 19:13, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

I think your bot caused an error on a page

Hello,

I was helping a new editor with an article in his sandbox, and although much needs to be improved, I do believe the categories section was fine (I copied the format used in other articles, and it looked right), but then your bot came along and said I made a mistake, but now the page is showing a problem. Here is the sandbox. Your bot made the latest edit. Please check the situation. Many thanks in advance. Dontreader (talk) 19:21, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

The bot's edit was correct. It added a colon so that the page wasn't added to the categories. When it is moved from sandbox to article, the colons can be removed. Rcsprinter₁₂₃ (notify) @ 19:32, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

Right, right. I had forgotten about that. I won't forget it again. Many thanks for your help and for the prompt reply, and have a nice day! Dontreader (talk) 19:49, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar

I was going through Template:Toolbar experiments and I found a lot of the test edits I was going to remove were already done by this bot, which is why I am giving this robot this barnstar. This bot may not be as famous, fast, or productive as ClueBot NG (the king of anti-vandal bots), but it is still a valuable asset to the Counter-Vandalism Unit. Thus, I present this barnstar with honor, to RscprinterBot. --I am k6ka Talk to me! See what I have done 15:15, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

Delete, a handful of minor roles, but doesn't come close to WP:NACTOR in my view. I'm sympathetic to the argument that it's usually harder to find written information on Indian topics than Western ones, but when it's a BLP we're talking about, caution is called for. Subject must have played minor and supporting roles in various films and TV shows, but fails WP:NACTOR and WP:GNG. Mentioned only in passing in cited media articles (which themselves are mostly second-tier sources), and I couldn't locate anything more comprehensive.

Narnack Records / Sisters

Hello and happy holidays - As requested, I want to let you know about a false positive that you reverted, on the article for Narnack Records. That article references a band called "Sisters", which linked to the page Sisters (i.e., two or more female siblings). I redlinked it to Sisters (band). I will let you adjust as appropriate. Thanks KConWiki (talk) 19:46, 25 December 2015 (UTC)

I just realized that I inadvertently left the following behind on that page. I will fix the Sisters link, and be careful not to replicate that other error. Thanks KConWiki (talk) 20:12, 25 December 2015 (UTC)

In this edit the bot altered {{DEFAULTSORT:rathod,vijay}} which was valid (if slightly misformed, as it lacked a space after the comma), and permitted on user pages, to {{:DEFAULTSORT:rathod,vijay}} which is invalid on all pages. --Redrose64 (talk) 16:26, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

Hello, bot owner, I think your bot made a mistake. In this edit, the bot archived my request for PNBC before anyone responded to it, just a couple of hours after I made the request. 208.95.51.38 (talk) 12:29, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
