I'm sorry, about what I'm doing and I just know more NJ intersections, I may not be a road expert but I just know BIG intersections in NJ maybe not NY, but NJ.
Thank you, you know what I do, I don't know why SPUI keeps taking them, unless NJ State highways aren't that big and US roads and Interstates are, are the roads, ok currently, where they are?
And thank you for your compliment, I try hard at what I do, Hagerman, if you have questions let me know about NJ roads.
the vandalism to this page occurred with the addition of the nonsense "aptly named 'Godzillatron'" All other changes are just coordinated proof to show that crap can be added to any Wiki page. If you want to curb the vandalism, remove the nonsense and lock the page.
I am an executive journalist for the weekly world news. We have on good sources, this information. I would appreciate if you would refrain from oppressing the voice of truth and understanding. Fruits have feelings also.
Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my user page.-- 1568 04:08, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
please don't accuse me of adding nonsense. I was correcting your mistakes, which I hope you would change back. I saw Rwake's first show in 1994. I lived with them for five years. Your information is incorrect. Before you spew verbiage, get your facts straight. I was just trying to correct false information.
i was told to edit the elephant artictle by the tv.
after i was changing the stuff i was always reverting back
Thanx, but no one appreciates what I'm doing, I just wish, I can do better, with NJ roads,
I noticed that there is continuing vandalism of the entry for "Peter Stearns", some of which you have corrected. Would it be possible for you to revert to your last corrected entry for "Peter Stearns" and then lock the page, preventing further changes? It would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Sorry About That I Edited The Page
Hi, it was me that was editing the Sean Faris page. I deleted the links but forgot to add a reason. That page was very unorganized, with lots of unnecessary content (myspace "fakers" etc.), loads of grammatical errors, and tons of links).
I was sorting through the links and only left a main few but forgot to leave an explantion. Do you think they should be on there?

Why do you delete the factual information that I post regarding Minnesota Life and other mutual life insurance organizations?
What specific comments are not neutral?
I apologize for my ignorance of Wikipedia's NPOV policy and the fact that I unwittingly violated that policy by promoting a website. Given your objection, I propose to modify the final paragraph of National Life of Vermont's Wikipedia page to read as follows:
Given these facts, knowledgeable policyowners have begun to favor the prompt demutualization of the National Life of Vermont. According to detailed financial data presented at http://policyownersfordemutualization.blogspot.com, National Life’s whole life policyowners would receive an estimated $11,211 per policy and its other policyowners would receive $1,548 per policy in a demutualization.
The final paragraphs for the other mutual insurers would contain the same edit with the exception that the dollar amounts would differ.
I hope you agree that this modification cleans up the NPOV problem I have been causing. I look forward to hearing from you and re-posting.
Can you watch Louis XIV of France an anonymous user keeps changing the age of the monarch from 76 to 77, I dont think math was his major. I changed it twice and he just changed it again. Its been a featured article so there is no debate needed about his age. I have the math on the discussion page if you need to justify the change back.
Based on your latest constructive comments, I would like the last paragraph to read as follows:
National Life’s whole life policyowners would receive an estimated $11,211 per policy and its other policyowners would receive $1,548 per policy in a demutualization according to financial data contained in National Life of Vermont’s 2005 Annual Statement to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), the company’s published 2005 Annual Report and shown at http://policyownersfordemutualization.blogspot.com.
All other mutual life insurance company postings would contain the same statement with changes made for the company name and the amounts of money.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Will you please stop marking this film as a child film when it is not one? It may be a family film, but that doesn't mean that it is for children to watch alone. There needs to be a family film stub category for films of this nature, as they are not children's films for there is content within that may not be suitable for children to watch without parental supervision, imo. - LA @ 06:40, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Good Evening, Mr. Hagerman:
Most artists of our day become the darlings of the art trade because their art has become a current fad. This is not so With John Ayes.
Ayes has given much of his time to his community via donations of his art, acquiring and sharing many of his venues with his fellow artists and he has worked really hard at succeeding within his chosen field despite his many disabilities. He suffers from closed end gluacoma, was born color deficient in the perception of primary colors and he is totally hearing impaired. Yet his art has been showcased on Channel 31 fox news, TV 31 The Melbourne Arts channel, Access Osceola TV on Britehouse, within many local news papers and within national magazines: Culture Magazine, AARP Segunda Juventud - Encore, and within Art-i-Facts, the Polk County Cultural Art Board's magazine. He has won many awards in his field His art has been exhibited in the Orlando Museum of Arts, First Thursdays, Brevard Community College's Moore Multi Cultural Museum and Bartow's History Museum in Polk County, Florida. His art has also been exhibited on behalf of VSAFL, Very Special Arts of Florida dedicated to establishing and enpowering disabled artists within Florida. His art and his biography has also been showcased within third grade school text books that have been published in Puerto Rico's public school system as an inspiration for children to gain from.
His art inspires as well as motivates because of his many disabilities.
John Ayes' article deserves to be inserted below his name within the Famous Puerto Rican Artist's listing herein within Wikipedia.
Please note: There are links within the article about Ayes that can serve as source verifiers, especially the link that will take you directly to Segunda Juventud's Web Site.
Thank you,
Respectfully,
Carmen L. Browne. clbr54@aol.com

does a record label have to have sold albums or be written about elsewhere to be included in wikipedia? the reason the fronteer records article should be included in an encyclopedia is simply that the label exists. that is merit enough
why the label is "important" is subjective and it is unreasonable to require such an explanation
it exists and that is the only reason why it should be included
please reconsider —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.178.168.209 ( talk • contribs).
there are two very specific things fronteer records has done that are explicit in the article: (1) it has played shows (for money) and (2) it has creative output. it is also important to note that your definition of "company" is subjective and forcibly applied here. fronteer records does not consider itself a company or business because we have made no profits. "non-profit music collective" would be a truer classification. sales are funneled back into creative activity. it is true that in the future fronteer records could become a business, but the uncertain future is hardly relevant here.
these points are moot however, because other labels (which sometimes are companies) have articles on wikipedia and have objectively done nothing more than fronteer records has: ie make sells, have creative output, and exist. perhaps they have made more money, have more members, or have been in existance longer, but those things are not relevant. if you would choose to add a label description to wikipedia based on that label's purported importance and/or influence, then you are not being objective.
also i do not like the idea that one person gets to decide what articles can exist on wikipedia, no matter how many people decided on the guidelines and rules. the interpretation here seems careless —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.178.168.209 ( talk • contribs).
fronteer records is not a company, i don't know how i can make that any more clear.
your idea of notability is reasonable here: until someone not connected to the label posts an article about it, it is probably not notable.
but again i see a lot of subjectivity here. i don't think notability is a very good guideline for anything's inclusion in wikipedia. every entity that exists should be included. anything about which there is information should be included. philosophically speaking, this seems the most encyclopedia-like, objective, truly comprehensive, and most importantly to the ideal of wikipedia, "free". notability can never be objective, and i strongly disagree that existance does not imply notability.
i do appreciate your being reasonable and thoughtful in your replies. i was aware that i could register and post the article, but i didn't want to. if i do are you going to immediately go mark it for non-notablity? what if a number of people edited it, added to it, or said that they'd like to see it remain? would that make a difference? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.178.168.209 ( talk • contribs).
I read your post regarding the unethical activities of "Policyowner" and I completely agree. He should be banned. I work for the parent company of Minnesota Life, and we discovered yesterday (Oct. 30) what he'd been doing (e.g., demutalization articles posted under company names - New York Life, Nation Life - Vermont, etc.).
Thanks

Chris, I prefer Mac OS X and my primary computer is a Powerbook G4 15 inch. I am not convinced the Intel was an improvement. Jobs just wanted all the Apples using the same platform. The G5 ran to hot for laptops. Some say the Intel is doing the same. OS X rocks!
Am I responding in the correct place?
In any case I removed a stub suggestion of yours in Seasonal spread trading. You can put it back, but the reason is because trading commodities is not stock exchange stuff. Commodities are necessities; no one needs a share certificate. Generally commodities are influenced by climate. Stocks are not really seasonal. So asking these stock exchange people to mess with our stuff is not a good idea.
We finance trades out of unrealized capital. They will not let the reckless stock players so this. It is forbidden. The essential nature of trading is different. You can make a lot of money in stocks only if you have a lot of money to start with. You can make and lose fortunes on a shoestring trading futures. Seasonal patterns make it safer. GT
Jesse Livermores book was mentioned because he operated pretty much under the same rules commodities markets use today concerning pyramiding and building up a stake trading on a shoestring.
Sorry if the mention confused you, " Reminiscences of a Stock Operator," by Edwin Lefèvre is about a stock operator of old who trades like futures traders do today. GT
I am not sure what your past conversations were with User:Policyowner, however to update you he has been blocked indefinitely for his repeated posting to several insurance compaines pages. I am letting you know as he has posted on his talk page a statement that he hasworked with you on various edits until and that you approved a template for his posts. Just wanted to let you know about the issue as he is working to get unblocked. Thanks for all your hard work to build wikipedia. TheRanger 23:09, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
Good Evening Haggerman, I am a member of the Cyrus Society. We felt that this is a great tool to allow curious people to find out a little history of the group.

If anything on the site needs to be fixed we are happy to do so thank you. Frank —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cyrus Society ( talk • contribs).

I am in full agreement with your comment regarding the "Michelle Zakarian" page. My question is - and no one has been able to give me a good answer... What is to be done when the author is sitting there removing the db-whatever tag from their page? (and they weren't challenging it, they were just removing the template) I saw this done for what looked like about 12 hours once!! It apparently wasn't allowing enough lag time for any bot to pick it up. A one timer doing this isn't vandalasm, per se, but is there a way to override their continual removal of the template from their page? SkierRMH 05:20, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
I am rather new to Wikipedia so please forgive my clumsiness at this. I looked up the name of the sixties musical group that I co-founded (Sopwith Camel/band) and found my name there (actually my old name) and when I clicked on it, it said that thee was no page for that name, but that one could be created. I just wanted to do that, using verifiable information from already-existing web sites, and I wanted to reference to my new name, because I have a current web site under that name. Is this OK to do? —the preceding comment is by Nandidevam ( talk • contribs): Please sign your posts!.

I made a article refering to the Sp-Un-Ka tribe of Stains, Reading on the 23rd of November 2006. It portrayed a group of people that live in a way, that may seem differant to you. I think that it showed people that, even if others live differantely, they should be respected and encorouged. The deletion of the article is an uttermost disgrace as it had great anthropological meaning, portaying a fair and objective view of the world - these people in particualr.

I see you are from Sweden, and I'm an American living in Denmark. Maybe my choice of words is confusing to you, but I am not personally accusing you, I'm just stating how it can be perceived by others. When I write "cheat", I don't mean to accuse you of deliberately doing something wrong (in an ethical or criminal sense), but that others may feel cheated, whether that is your intention or not. Others need that information, and your actions are denying them of it, hence they may feel that you are cheating them of the information. There is a subtle difference, and it may not be understandable to people who don't have English as their mother tongue. If Hagerman wants to make an exception for you, then let him do it, but he will be ignoring the needs of other editors if he does it. If your edits are ever involved in any type of controversy, it will be unnecessarily difficult to sort things out without that information.
Will you please explain why you wish to deviate from standard practice here? -- Fyslee 18:51, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Your bot signed an addition of mine to Talk:Tenedos; the addition of one bullet point to a list of bullet points, duly signed at the end. This is unhelpful. I suppose it is the sort of thing which will be hard to avoid; but do try. There are plenty of reasons to make such edits; and no reason for a bot to criticize them.

Thank you; a related problem would be stuff that is intended to be unsigned, like the recommended format in WP:RM. I'm not sure how that can be handled; in that case there is intended to be a signiature, but it will usually be in a different edit. Septentrionalis 05:56, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

I frequently use {{ tl}} in my comments, as do others. I think it would be great if the bot could ignore {{ tl}} in determining whether to add an {{ unsigned}} template. — Mets501 ( talk) 22:47, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
I made a comment which was signed and HagermanBot says in the history that i didnt sign. But moreover the comment doesnt show up on the talk page and of the previous comment, only half is showing, so something probably not connected with the HagermanBot is screwing up the page. But i thought i would mention it here anyways! Cheers! Mujinga 00:31, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm not quite sure the change in the bot's edit summaries was good. "Marking an unsigned comment by XYZ" is okay, but in the case of vandalism, "XYZ said 'fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck'" isn't really nice to see in an edit summary, especially on Talk:Main Page. Just a thought. Good idea with the bot though. – Ch acor 01:36, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
While the bot is doing useful work, it stops an admin from being able to use the rollback button on an abusive comment if the bot gets there first. Would it be possible for it to only add its comment after a delay, say five minutes?- gadfium 02:41, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
I was going to ask if there were a way to keep HagermanBot out of histories so that I could see the previous Edit Summary (and Editor).
Perhaps for Edit summaries, could HagermanBot write the previous editor and repeat the previous Edit Summary (within character limits of course)? Maybe text quote would be a good substitute for an empty Edit Summary.
Great and much needed bot, by the way. Thanks for doing this. — edgarde 02:31, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi,
I am a new user of Wikipedia and a researcher. While reading the Yadava page, I realized that it was being used deliberately to create information rather than present the best current information. I decided to work through the discussion page to develop a concensus on issues and then make changes to the page. However, I have a user Ikonoblast who is just not interested in the discussion and keeps on creating hurdles/diversions making personal attacks etc. Today I checked and found that your bot has moved my last 2 comments from the discussion section. In these I have provided formal published references supporting my point of view. Note that no such quality references are provided about the information currently on the Yadav page. I had to go back and repost my information. Can you help me by making sure that your bot does not remove important information posted by me again? Thanks for helping. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 206.54.196.28 ( talk) 23:22, 8 December 2006 (UTC).

I'm sorry, about what I'm doing and I just know more NJ intersections, I may not be a road expert but I just know BIG intersections in NJ maybe not NY, but NJ.
Thank you, you know what I do, I don't know why SPUI keeps taking them, unless NJ State highways aren't that big and US roads and Interstates are, are the roads, ok currently, where they are?
And thank you for your compliment, I try hard at what I do, Hagerman, if you have questions let me know about NJ roads.
the vandalism to this page occurred with the addition of the nonsense "aptly named 'Godzillatron'" All other changes are just coordinated proof to show that crap can be added to any Wiki page. If you want to curb the vandalism, remove the nonsense and lock the page.

Why do you delete the factual information that I post regarding Minnesota Life and other mutual life insurance organizations?
What specific comments are not neutral?
I apologize for my ignorance of Wikipedia's NPOV policy and the fact that I unwittingly violated that policy by promoting a website. Given your objection, I propose to modify the final paragraph of National Life of Vermont's Wikipedia page to read as follows:
Given these facts, knowledgeable policyowners have begun to favor the prompt demutualization of the National Life of Vermont. According to detailed financial data presented at http://policyownersfordemutualization.blogspot.com, National Life’s whole life policyowners would receive an estimated $11,211 per policy and its other policyowners would receive $1,548 per policy in a demutualization.
The final paragraphs for the other mutual insurers would contain the same edit with the exception that the dollar amounts would differ.
I hope you agree that this modification cleans up the NPOV problem I have been causing. I look forward to hearing from you and re-posting.
Can you watch Louis XIV of France an anonymous user keeps changing the age of the monarch from 76 to 77, I dont think math was his major. I changed it twice and he just changed it again. Its been a featured article so there is no debate needed about his age. I have the math on the discussion page if you need to justify the change back.
Based on your latest constructive comments, I would like the last paragraph to read as follows:
National Life’s whole life policyowners would receive an estimated $11,211 per policy and its other policyowners would receive $1,548 per policy in a demutualization according to financial data contained in National Life of Vermont’s 2005 Annual Statement to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), the company’s published 2005 Annual Report and shown at http://policyownersfordemutualization.blogspot.com.
All other mutual life insurance company postings would contain the same statement with changes made for the company name and the amounts of money.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Good Evening, Mr. Hagerman:
Most artists of our day become the darlings of the art trade because their art has become a current fad. This is not so With John Ayes.
Ayes has given much of his time to his community via donations of his art, acquiring and sharing many of his venues with his fellow artists and he has worked really hard at succeeding within his chosen field despite his many disabilities. He suffers from closed end gluacoma, was born color deficient in the perception of primary colors and he is totally hearing impaired. Yet his art has been showcased on Channel 31 fox news, TV 31 The Melbourne Arts channel, Access Osceola TV on Britehouse, within many local news papers and within national magazines: Culture Magazine, AARP Segunda Juventud - Encore, and within Art-i-Facts, the Polk County Cultural Art Board's magazine. He has won many awards in his field His art has been exhibited in the Orlando Museum of Arts, First Thursdays, Brevard Community College's Moore Multi Cultural Museum and Bartow's History Museum in Polk County, Florida. His art has also been exhibited on behalf of VSAFL, Very Special Arts of Florida dedicated to establishing and enpowering disabled artists within Florida. His art and his biography has also been showcased within third grade school text books that have been published in Puerto Rico's public school system as an inspiration for children to gain from.
His art inspires as well as motivates because of his many disabilities.
John Ayes' article deserves to be inserted below his name within the Famous Puerto Rican Artist's listing herein within Wikipedia.
Please note: There are links within the article about Ayes that can serve as source verifiers, especially the link that will take you directly to Segunda Juventud's Web Site.
Thank you,
Respectfully,
Carmen L. Browne. clbr54@aol.com

does a record label have to have sold albums or be written about elsewhere to be included in wikipedia? the reason the fronteer records article should be included in an encyclopedia is simply that the label exists. that is merit enough
why the label is "important" is subjective and it is unreasonable to require such an explanation
it exists and that is the only reason why it should be included
please reconsider —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.178.168.209 ( talk • contribs).
there are two very specific things fronteer records has done that are explicit in the article: (1) it has played shows (for money) and (2) it has creative output. it is also important to note that your definition of "company" is subjective and forcibly applied here. fronteer records does not consider itself a company or business because we have made no profits. "non-profit music collective" would be a truer classification. sales are funneled back into creative activity. it is true that in the future fronteer records could become a business, but the uncertain future is hardly relevant here.
these points are moot however, because other labels (which sometimes are companies) have articles on wikipedia and have objectively done nothing more than fronteer records has: ie make sells, have creative output, and exist. perhaps they have made more money, have more members, or have been in existance longer, but those things are not relevant. if you would choose to add a label description to wikipedia based on that label's purported importance and/or influence, then you are not being objective.
also i do not like the idea that one person gets to decide what articles can exist on wikipedia, no matter how many people decided on the guidelines and rules. the interpretation here seems careless —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.178.168.209 ( talk • contribs).
fronteer records is not a company, i don't know how i can make that any more clear.
your idea of notability is reasonable here: until someone not connected to the label posts an article about it, it is probably not notable.
but again i see a lot of subjectivity here. i don't think notability is a very good guideline for anything's inclusion in wikipedia. every entity that exists should be included. anything about which there is information should be included. philosophically speaking, this seems the most encyclopedia-like, objective, truly comprehensive, and most importantly to the ideal of wikipedia, "free". notability can never be objective, and i strongly disagree that existance does not imply notability.
i do appreciate your being reasonable and thoughtful in your replies. i was aware that i could register and post the article, but i didn't want to. if i do are you going to immediately go mark it for non-notablity? what if a number of people edited it, added to it, or said that they'd like to see it remain? would that make a difference? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.178.168.209 ( talk • contribs).
I read your post regarding the unethical activities of "Policyowner" and I completely agree. He should be banned. I work for the parent company of Minnesota Life, and we discovered yesterday (Oct. 30) what he'd been doing (e.g., demutalization articles posted under company names - New York Life, Nation Life - Vermont, etc.).

Chris, I prefer Mac OS X and my primary computer is a Powerbook G4 15 inch. I am not convinced the Intel was an improvement. Jobs just wanted all the Apples using the same platform. The G5 ran to hot for laptops. Some say the Intel is doing the same. OS X rocks!
Am I responding in the correct place?
In any case I removed a stub suggestion of yours in Seasonal spread trading. You can put it back, but the reason is because trading commodities is not stock exchange stuff. Commodities are necessities; no one needs a share certificate. Generally commodities are influenced by climate. Stocks are not really seasonal. So asking these stock exchange people to mess with our stuff is not a good idea.
We finance trades out of unrealized capital. They will not let the reckless stock players so this. It is forbidden. The essential nature of trading is different. You can make a lot of money in stocks only if you have a lot of money to start with. You can make and lose fortunes on a shoestring trading futures. Seasonal patterns make it safer. GT
Jesse Livermores book was mentioned because he operated pretty much under the same rules commodities markets use today concerning pyramiding and building up a stake trading on a shoestring.
Sorry if the mention confused you, " Reminiscences of a Stock Operator," by Edwin Lefèvre is about a stock operator of old who trades like futures traders do today. GT
I am not sure what your past conversations were with User:Policyowner, however to update you he has been blocked indefinitely for his repeated posting to several insurance compaines pages. I am letting you know as he has posted on his talk page a statement that he hasworked with you on various edits until and that you approved a template for his posts. Just wanted to let you know about the issue as he is working to get unblocked. Thanks for all your hard work to build wikipedia. TheRanger 23:09, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

I am in full agreement with your comment regarding the "Michelle Zakarian" page. My question is - and no one has been able to give me a good answer... What is to be done when the author is sitting there removing the db-whatever tag from their page? (and they weren't challenging it, they were just removing the template) I saw this done for what looked like about 12 hours once!! It apparently wasn't allowing enough lag time for any bot to pick it up. A one timer doing this isn't vandalasm, per se, but is there a way to override their continual removal of the template from their page? SkierRMH 05:20, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

I see you are from Sweden, and I'm an American living in Denmark. Maybe my choice of words is confusing to you, but I am not personally accusing you, I'm just stating how it can be perceived by others. When I write "cheat", I don't mean to accuse you of deliberately doing something wrong (in an ethical or criminal sense), but that others may feel cheated, whether that is your intention or not. Others need that information, and your actions are denying them of it, hence they may feel that you are cheating them of the information. There is a subtle difference, and it may not be understandable to people who don't have English as their mother tongue. If Hagerman wants to make an exception for you, then let him do it, but he will be ignoring the needs of other editors if he does it. If your edits are ever involved in any type of controversy, it will be unnecessarily difficult to sort things out without that information.
Will you please explain why you wish to deviate from standard practice here? -- Fyslee 18:51, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Your bot signed an addition of mine to Talk:Tenedos; the addition of one bullet point to a list of bullet points, duly signed at the end. This is unhelpful. I suppose it is the sort of thing which will be hard to avoid; but do try. There are plenty of reasons to make such edits; and no reason for a bot to criticize them.

Thank you; a related problem would be stuff that is intended to be unsigned, like the recommended format in WP:RM. I'm not sure how that can be handled; in that case there is intended to be a signiature, but it will usually be in a different edit. Septentrionalis 05:56, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

I've been testing your bot (thanks, bot, for signing a message someone else left on my talk page); I'd like to request that you run it on the Help Desk as well as the other Wikipedia-space pages you use, if that's feasible. (It will save having to go into the history to find a user's contribs and therefore what that user is talking about). -- ais523 11:22, 6 December 2006 ( U T C)
... has your bot been active? You signed my talk page! Thanks. (Patstuart, not signing, just to test you). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Patstuart ( talk • contribs) 12:59, 6 December 2006 (UTC).
This bot is great! I get a lot of comments on my talk page from vandals who rarely ever sign. This bot means I don't have to check the history each time. Thanks a lot! James086 Talk | Contribs 14:12, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

I award you Hagerman the da Vinci Barnstar for making such a cool bot which saves me a lot of time. James086 Talk | Contribs 14:15, 6 December 2006 (UTC) |
Real cool bot!! I have a question. I have set my preferences so that I don't see bot edits in my watchlist. Why then do I see Hagermanbot oh so frequently?? — Lost (talk) 16:59, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
I like the idea. However like many people I am in the habit of quickly re-opening an edit to sign if I forget, or put the wrong number of tildes. Whether we'll get used to the bot doing it for us, or there should be a 20 second delay, I can't decide. Good work, regardless. Rich Farmbrough, 18:12 6 December 2006 (GMT).
You're a bit quick! I didn't sign my comment, realised, and tried to put it on, but it was already there! :-) Keep it up! Dr Santa 19:13, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
This is one awesome bot. :) -- Ixfd64 23:36, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

I've just encountered your bot, at Talk:Irish dance. Aside from seeing it in use, is there any way to determine if a page is being watched by the bot? (deliberately unsigned, as a test) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Argyriou ( talk • contribs) 03:02, 7 December 2006 (UTC).
Is there a way to make sure the bot is monitoring a page? There are some talk pages I watch which have not had your bot watching them. Argyriou (talk) 03:18, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
Your bot is so cool, but I forgot to sign a page and he fixed it right as I was. Is it OK to delete his and add mine? He did it to me here [ [3]] WikiMan53 14:52, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
Great bot! Thanks! FreplySpang 19:27, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
I recently received a warning for allegedly vandalising this article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_Struggle
I have never been on this article, and as your name was on the warning, i thought i would just inform you that there may be a problem with antivandal bot, it also may be because someone is using my IP address possibly?

I frequently use {{ tl}} in my comments, as do others. I think it would be great if the bot could ignore {{ tl}} in determining whether to add an {{ unsigned}} template. — Mets501 ( talk) 22:47, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
I made a comment which was signed and HagermanBot says in the history that i didnt sign. But moreover the comment doesnt show up on the talk page and of the previous comment, only half is showing, so something probably not connected with the HagermanBot is screwing up the page. But i thought i would mention it here anyways! Cheers! Mujinga 00:31, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm not quite sure the change in the bot's edit summaries was good. "Marking an unsigned comment by XYZ" is okay, but in the case of vandalism, "XYZ said 'fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck'" isn't really nice to see in an edit summary, especially on Talk:Main Page. Just a thought. Good idea with the bot though. – Ch acor 01:36, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
While the bot is doing useful work, it stops an admin from being able to use the rollback button on an abusive comment if the bot gets there first. Would it be possible for it to only add its comment after a delay, say five minutes?- gadfium 02:41, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
I was going to ask if there were a way to keep HagermanBot out of histories so that I could see the previous Edit Summary (and Editor).
Perhaps for Edit summaries, could HagermanBot write the previous editor and repeat the previous Edit Summary (within character limits of course)? Maybe text quote would be a good substitute for an empty Edit Summary.
Great and much needed bot, by the way. Thanks for doing this. — edgarde 02:31, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
First off, I love the Hagerman bot! Great job. I have a suggesstion for the HagermanBot user page. Many other bots, such as anti vandal bots have humorous pictures of warcraft etc on there page. I propose that you put

Hi,
I am a new user of Wikipedia and a researcher. While reading the Yadava page, I realized that it was being used deliberately to create information rather than present the best current information. I decided to work through the discussion page to develop a concensus on issues and then make changes to the page. However, I have a user Ikonoblast who is just not interested in the discussion and keeps on creating hurdles/diversions making personal attacks etc. Today I checked and found that your bot has moved my last 2 comments from the discussion section. In these I have provided formal published references supporting my point of view. Note that no such quality references are provided about the information currently on the Yadav page. I had to go back and repost my information. Can you help me by making sure that your bot does not remove important information posted by me again? Thanks for helping. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 206.54.196.28 ( talk) 23:22, 8 December 2006 (UTC).
