Great work on the JW page. I especially enjoy the reduction work you've been doing. It is a much less daunting read now. Where do you find the time? George 12:57, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Fine work on the Witness Page(s). I had started a similar (but much simpler) page over at wiki how. You might be interested to check it out. http://www.wikihow.com/Become-One-of-Jehovah%27s-Witnesses Unfortunately it was vandalized as well. I had the admings semi-protect it and I even went so far as to have my user name disassociated from it (I did not want to be accountable for where it was headed) At any rate, please check it if you can and add anything you want. I could use a little positive construction for a change. - jstrawn@gmail.com

Hey Josh, just getting back to you. Certainly the reference of the Almanac does not need to be there. However, I thought if something is referenced it might deter the ugly "cult" word from reappearing. As far as a specific page, it has been in the yearly Almanac for at least 12 years. The edition I have here is the 2000 and the info appears on pg. 700 which may be consistent with other editions too. Johanneum

Bot Request, if possible

"Hey there. I'm a moderator (called admins here) on a wiki called Bionicle Sector 01 Wiki (for, as the name suggests, info about BIONICLE, the toy line). I've tried in the past to talk to some programmers about creating a bot, or just copying the code for one of Misplaced Pages's anti-vandalism bots and giving a quick crash course on how to operate it, but had no avail (folks didn't respond after a while). Well, our wiki is still concerned about vandals coming in at night when no one else is really on, so thusly I'm attempting to have a bot created for our wiki again. Would it be possibly to request one here for another wiki, or can anyone respond with how I can perhaps get one for another wiki? I'll try the makers of the AVB to see if they can help out at all. ~U"

This is what I asked for on the Request a Bot page, in hopes that possibly one of the coders for the AVB could help out (or know of someone who can help out)?

Thanks,

~U

AVB as part of a diploma thesis

Hello Joshbuddy,

my name is Robert Gerling and i am student of "Mediasystems" at the Bauhaus University Weimar, Germany (http://www.uni-weimar.de/cms/webis.69.0.html). I have already tried to contacted you via email, but you didn't answer at all so i try it again this way. As the headline tells i'm currently working on my diploma thesis with the baseline of automatic wiki-vandalism detection. Of course i found MartinBot (http://en.wikipedia.org/User:MartinBot) during my inquest. I contacted the user who is responsible for MartinBot, but he seemse to be quit busy with his exame as his userpage tells as well. So i decided to contact you as one of the two persons who developed the AVB code. It would be very pleasing if you could provide me as much information about your bot as your're willing to give. Especially i am interested in the detection rules, because i already have quit similar ideas i think, but i would like to evaluate if the already proper working detection of your bot (and his clones) can be improved some how (may be with well known techniques from the research field of text based information retrieval). I have already studied many vandalism delicts including the resutls of Study1 to build up a taxonomy of wiki-vandalism. With respect to this taxonomy i am building up a test-corpus at the moment including about 900 edit, whereas 250 are vandalism (including data from Study1 (http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Vandalism_studies/Study1)), to test my ideas of automatic identification of vandalism in future implementations. Is there actually something like a test-corpus you were using during the development of the AVB code? It would be interesting for me to compare my implemtation with yours on my test-corpus or on the corpus you used (if available).

Thank you for your time and hopefully help. I am looking forward to your answer.

Yours --MSSimor 09:20, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

P.S. Sorry for my bad english.
