What's the problem with The Boston Club article, as all sources are correctly cited and not plagerised? 76.182.176.71 ( talk) 01:15, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

The bot seems to be removing "|last=" but leaving "|first=" populating so causing " |first= missing |last= " errors, see for example [1]. I have spent a lot of time today correcting errors before realising the bot is causing them. -- John B123 ( talk) 19:46, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
|first=
and also |last=CNN
. Deleting only |last=CNN
doesn't completely solve the problem - it requires a human to determine whether to complete the fix by populating the author(s) into |author=
or |first=
/|last=
. Reverting the bot edits doesn't correct the errors. Your help in fixing the references would be appreciated. Thanks!

There is private university at Jamalpur in Bangladesh. I created a page named after Sheikh Fazilatunnesa Mujib University. But all informations had been removed. Why?

This bot when it is putting the shells on, is relocating DYK credits to the top rather than the bottom of the collection of projects. Could that be fixed please? The C of E God Save the Queen! ( talk) 15:47, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi GB. Why is your bot making edits like this with AWB, when the rules of use state "Do not make insignificant or inconsequential edits. An edit that has no noticeable effect on the rendered page is generally considered an insignificant edit"? Thanks. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 19:16, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

Hello... I see you recategorized the page I created for a radio station. I admit I'm new to Wikipedia so I'm curious if I did something wrong or what needs to be corrected for the page to appear on wikipedia like other radio station pages from which I modeled the entry.
Thanks in advance for your time educating me.
