Spambot
[edit]@Sotiale:, you requested that I be blocked as a spambot. I was trying to add Wikibooks:Correct typos in one click to my js page, but this was denied and I guess that triggered an automated alert? Bellowhead678 (talk) 11:53, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- As you can see on the main Wikipedia, I use the Wikipedia:Correct typos in one click tool extensively and have fixed thousands of typos over the past few months using it. Bellowhead678 (talk) 11:55, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Bellowhead678: I'm so sorry, my mistake misclassified your account between spambots and normal. It's entirely my error. I apologize to you. --Sotiale (talk) 11:57, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- In the process of splitting and merging account lists, your account has been entered incorrectly. I understand the discomfort you felt. I'm really sorry. --Sotiale (talk) 12:01, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- It's ok, don't worry! Glad it was easily sorted. Don't suppose you know why it was giving me the error message:
Your edit has triggered an automated throttle designed to limit spammers. It appears you are adding external links to many different Wikibooks pages in rapid succession. For some kinds of links this may be okay, but it is often a sign of people abusing Wikibooks. If that is not your intent, we apologize.
If you were not trying to add links to many pages, and you received this message in error please report this error. If you feel that the URL is needed, please request its addition here. Bellowhead678 (talk) 12:04, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- Please wait, I will view log you related. --Sotiale (talk) 12:08, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- Oh, I knew what the problem was. Can I send you a mail? --Sotiale (talk) 12:14, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- Sure thing. Bellowhead678 (talk) 12:14, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- I sent you a mail. Maybe you can solve your problem. Once again, I apologize for my mistake. Thank you for your kindness. --Sotiale (talk) 12:23, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- Sure thing. Bellowhead678 (talk) 12:14, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
The problem seems to be resolved. Have a nice edit and happy new year! Best regards, Sotiale (talk) 12:47, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- Yep, all sorted! Thanks for your help! Bellowhead678 (talk) 12:48, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
