False positives

What is False Positives? 2602:252:D2D:4170:D4F0:1363:DA91:5811 (talk) 21:03, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

See User:ClueBot_NG/FAQ#False_Positives. A false positive is when the bot classifies a valid edit as vandalism (Basically, the bot makes a mistake). ClueBot NG is designed to make a few false positives here and there to be effective, so don't be angered or disappointed if your edit gets mistakenly reverted. Simply revert the bot's edit and report the mistake at WP:CBNGFP. --I am k6ka _{See what I have done} 22:49, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

ClueBot III

Per the editnotice, I posted to Rich Smiths' talk page, pinging Damian (who I now realize isn't active) (oops, I pinged the wrong damian. Sorry DamianZaremba) and Cobi, asking why ClueBot III tends to be on-and-off so often (going for a few hours, and then crashing). Now, I haven't gotten a response and ClueBot III has been off for a day. Why is this? --I dream of horses @ 23:30, 21 April 2015 (UTC) (changed at 04:41, 22 April 2015 (UTC)) (fixed ping template at 04:42, 22 April 2015 (UTC))

Hi I dream of horses, looking at all the above three editors contributions, they haven't been online since you posted your message so I'm guessing that's why there's been no reply. My understanding is that ClueBot III doesn't necessarily archive every hour or indeed every day because I'm sure that I've seen it where it hasn't archived for more than a day. I'm sure one of the above three will correct me if I'm wrong. I have emailed Rich to let him know of this conversation though just in case Misplaced Pages's notification system has failed.--5 albert square (talk) 09:53, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

I dream of horses Just to let you know I got a response from Rich, this would appear to be an issue at Labs. For some reason ClueBot III is being killed and not recovering. As the job controller still sees it as an active process it doesn't try and recover it either. Rich is thinking of asking the Labs server to restart ClueBot III after a couple of hours.--5 albert square (talk) 12:42, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

@5 albert square: Thanks for telling me! And thanks to Rich Smith for trying to fixing the problem! --I dream of horses If you reply here, please ping me by adding {{U|I dream of horses}} to your message. (talk to me) (contributions) @ 00:29, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

Unreportable False Postive

First, yes I know the usual way to report these, but the bot didn't leave a revert ID or a message on the users talk page oddly enough. Diff is here. No vandalism to be found, but may be because of false warnings on that users talk page or a previous revert... EoRdE6 00:19, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Cypress Hill

User:ClueBot III archived a comment I added on 13 January eight days later, even though it was the only thread on the Talk page. I'm not happy about that. That Talk page only had a couple of edits per year. It doesn't need a bot, and even if one is used for it, it certainly should not archive threads after eight days. --82.136.210.153 (talk) 12:31, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

The Talk:Cypress Hill page has a {{User:ClueBot III/ArchiveThis}}, so it was intentionally set up for archiving by bot. This was done with this edit by Sugar Bear (talk · contribs) at 22:31, 20 June 2009. Inside that template, there is the parameter |age=168, which indicates that a thread should be archived once there have been no further posts within 168 hours of the last posting to that thread. 168 hours is exactly 7 days. --Redrose64 (talk) 14:17, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

And...? As I wrote, I'm not happy the bot did what it did. There's almost no traffic on that Talk page, so I don't see why a bot would have to move away messages after just one week. Why not move threads when sections didn't get any new posts for one month? almost nothing is happening on that Talk page; just leave people's posts alone and give other editors time to find posts and respond to them. --82.136.210.153 (talk) 14:25, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

I'm not stopping you from altering that |age=168 to e.g. |age=744 (31 days), or even removing the {{User:ClueBot III/ArchiveThis}} in its entirety. --Redrose64 (talk) 14:29, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, I've changed it to 31 days. --82.136.210.153 (talk) 15:01, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

Ciara

Hi, my edit on Ciara Discogrpahy page was by no means an attempt to vandalize. I am sorry if it looked that way but I am only new. Did you look at my source? http://hitsdailydouble.com/new_album_releases This source is the most recent announcement of the sales for the album 'Ciara' which is why I updated the sales to 208,000. I would appreciate if you would review my source and change the sales from 133,000 to 208,000. Thank you and I look forward to your feedback. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brancott (talk • contribs) 22:01, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

CBNG is a bot. They will not answer you. Maybe ask someone else? --TL22 (talk) 23:25, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

what is the meaning of this nonsense why did you not sign my post, why did you do that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.203.69.20 (talk) 10:18, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!
