[edit] Blankings, old (through 2002)
The conversion script blanked quite a few talk pages, or perhaps they weren't restored properly. I am restoring as many as I feel like (until I get bored). OK bored, most of them are to old to matter now. Dori | Talk 19:03, Feb 25, 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Blankings, 9 April, 2006
1) This bot ("Conversion script") stopped on 19 July, 2002. But recently it woke up again, for 6 minutes, from 08:06-0812 on 9 April, 2006. (According to the User contributions page.) In that time it made 10 non-helpful and unexplained edits, mostly blanking of content, but some look like reversions.
2) Cool, one bit of damage done by "Conversion script" was immediately reverted by another bot, "Tawkerbot2". "Tawkerbot2" explained its edit AND left the following note here for "Conversion script". (It was not entirely obvious in context because the message lacks a greeting. It's a little confusing because "Tawkerbot2" doesn't know that it is talking to another bot.)
Your recent edit to Manual transmission was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to recognize and repair vandalism to Wikipedia articles. If the bot reverted a legitimate edit, please accept our apologies – if you bring it to the attention of the bot's owner, we may be able to improve its behavior.

And who is responsible for today's blanking? --tasc 08:09, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
- Yea, did someone compromise this account? 68.39.174.238 04:28, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

- I think so, after all, it made no edits after 2002, then in 2006 it started blanking pages. Also, at first (while blanking) it made no edit summaries, then it started leaving the previous types. So yes, I think it was compromised. Polonium 19:03, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pointless edit to a redirect page, 2002
(Old news.) See the History page for Transuranic element, which is a redirect page. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Transuranic_element&action=history
15:51, 25 February 2002 Conversion script (Talk) m (Automated conversion)
This changed "#REDIRECT [[transuranium element]]" to "#REDIRECT [[Transuranium element]]" Every appearance of a pointless edit, something bots are not supposed to do. This edit has the added disadvantage of being the second edit of a redirect page, which blocks the Move operation from moving the target page onto the redirect page. Did this bot ever do anything constructive? -Whiner01 06:59, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Conversion script still hasn't got all the history
e.g. here. The Conversion script surely didn't write that article!!! (In fact, I'm pretty sure I did....) --SJK 12:21, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Nordic Council.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:Nordic Council.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Robert drinan.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Robert drinan.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 22:19, 5 March 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Abu badali (talk) 22:19, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
