What kind of rule is this bot using that would justify this edit??? Herostratus ( talk) 03:04, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
Hi, please have a look on this edit: [1]. The bot inserted a lot of duplicated interwiki links. Problem with articles where the existing interwikis are not correctly sorted? -- Ben Ben ( talk) 13:06, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi! I removed sv:lårkaka many months ago because a lårkaka is a bruise, not a spasm. See Talk:Charley horse, bottom of page. W n C? 13:19, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
Like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Template:Hanyi_Railway&curid=26471738&diff=423844324&oldid=417816900 Even though the link from Template:Hanyi Railway to zh:Template:汉宜铁路 (or zh:Template:漢宜鐵路, in traditional chars) was perfectly valid. True there was no reverse link, but I thought that bots' job was, when A linked to B but B did not link to A, to add reverse links (B to A) as appropriate, instead of removing the original link!
Methinks the bot's operation here again stumbles at the simplified/traditional char alternative text in zh wiki, as it did when unnecessarily removing interwikis from Wiki Commons. -- 14:51, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
This edit to the pteridophyte article is incorrect. I have had to revert twice now. -- EncycloPetey ( talk) 04:28, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
I don't understand why this edit happened. Your bot seems prone to making unwarranted removals of links. -- EncycloPetey ( talk) 14:56, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Recently a Portuguese user regularised an article title by moving it from pt:Tubo de Vórtice to pt:Tubo_de_vórtice. In response your bot removed the pt:Tubo de Vórtice link from the Vortex tube article. It would have been far more useful if it had changed it to pt:Tubo de vórtice.
Looking at the issues raised above, it appears that your bot is creating quite a lot of work for human editors. That is not good. I would recommend that you stop running the bot until you have addressed the concerns raised by earlier commenters. -- Derek Ross | Talk 07:05, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
The he and ko links were correct. The en:wikipedia has a separate Ophioglossales and Ophioglossaceae page, but the he and ko Wikipedias have a single page for both, so those pages should be linked from more than one page here. -- EncycloPetey ( talk) 01:22, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
There appears to be some interwiki links mix-up by your bot for Marino, Italy and Marin (name). Kindly check these edits [6] and [7]. Thanks -- JinJian ( talk) 17:11, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
To me it seems plain wrong to remove association between fi:seurat and en:conventicle because historically ecactly conventicle is in question. How/why have these changes been made and on what grounds? -- Isidorus Finn ( talk) 19:26, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi
What exactly is your bot doing? It made this edit [8].
Out of those that were removed, most were correct:
Why did it remove them? Chaosdruid ( talk) 02:52, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
Quite a peculiar interwiki this bot has created: ht:Reken for en:Pope. Esoglou ( talk) 07:55, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
I have just undone this edit which removed the majority of interwikis from ton. On checking a few at random they all seem to be genuinely the same subject. I see that there are already numerous other complaints on this page. I think you should pause this bot now while you rethink your algorithms otherwise the bot will have to be blocked. It is not acceptable for a bot to be putting human editors to this degree of trouble. Spinning Spark 08:55, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

Request reason:
I think the bot edit was correct related to the existing languagelink relationship from other wikipedias. The solution Spinningspark annonced for creating an extra interwiki conflict isn't possible because it won't help for the future. You can find my proposal for solution above.
