Happy editing! Jolyfize (talk) 12:40, 22 February 2026 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Kvinnen. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Satkhira District have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks. _signed, Kvinnen (talk) 13:03, 23 February 2026 (UTC)

Hello @Kvinnen:, the edit in question is a case of copy editing to better suit wikipedia's format (including fixing a typo). Although I did make a typo myself, I do not understand what's not "constructive" about the edit. An22inkle (talk) 13:10, 23 February 2026 (UTC)

You seem to have identified the unconstructive bit yourself. _signed, Kvinnen (talk) 08:30, 27 February 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to 2007 in Bangladesh, please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history, as well as helping prevent edit conflicts. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it.

It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you.  Sumanuil. _{(talk to me)} 21:31, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hello, just curious, are you using a bot to make these edits? Or are you just copy and pasting? – LuniZunie_(talk) 18:54, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

Ah, you are using a bot aren't you? 1, 2 (using JSON because you accidently printed the JSON instead of the actual article), 3 (making it print formatted and not as a raw string), 4 (testing out your bot), 5 (testing once more).

Please stop. – LuniZunie_(talk) 18:58, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

Hello, I downloaded a set of articles missing the DMY/MDY templates, and analyzed them to figure out majority usage. Now I'm using a command line script to manually tell where to put the line. An22inkle (talk) 18:59, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

@An22inkle Please don't. This is unauthorized bot usage. – LuniZunie_(talk) 19:00, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

Oh, I'm sorry. I figured from the bot guidelines that this falls under assisted manual editing? I'm checking to confirm the changes manually before publishing. And yes the sandbox edits were tests of the tool. An22inkle (talk) 19:03, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

Are you truly? Your edits occur very, very quickly for that to be true. – LuniZunie_(talk) 19:06, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

You can check the source . I am being displayed the first few lines of the wikitext (with the --takelineprompt flag) where I explicitly need to provide the line to copy paste the line.. I have pre-processed all of the articles I'm editing to figure out where MDY or DMY was used and I'm rejecting almost all articles where there's a significant mismatch. I understand that my speed may bring suspicion but I did find an admin using editing assistance tools with similar speed. If my edits are still in violation of the bot policy, I understand. An22inkle (talk) 19:15, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

@An22inkle The speeds the user you linked is editing at is do to a tool called AWB. However tools at that speed usually require a special permission. – LuniZunie_(talk) 19:17, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

@LuniZunie I'm curious if this change falls under allowed semi-assisted editing. Nothing is pushed to the API, but the relevant edit page is opened in a browser session with a live preview and only the edit summary pre-filled.

Thanks in advance. An22inkle (talk) 08:42, 26 February 2026 (UTC)

Yeah that's fine =)
That's what I've done for my semi-automated editing scripts, they just open it in the browser and pre-fill all the fields, and then I hit the publish button. I would recommend putting somewhere in your edit summary that this is semi automated, for example my edits ended with (semi-automated edit) – LuniZunie_(talk) 13:55, 26 February 2026 (UTC)

Yeah your code is auto editing. – LuniZunie_(talk) 19:19, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

I reiterate that all my edits are manually approved by me. You can see some edits from 6 hours ago where the speed was really low because I hadn't pre-processed all the articles and I had to test through articles until one needed to be edited.

However I will desist from further use of this tool until I receive relevant permission to use it or AWB. An22inkle (talk) 19:25, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

I don't see anywhere in the source code though that allows you to truly check over the edits, I mean I see stuff like input("Line to insert > "), where you have to tell the bot which line to insert it on, but you are only looking at the first 5 lines, that really is not enough context to say it was fully verified.

I do believe you are acting in good faith, and that you will stop, but these things can and have blown up before which is why we have to be so careful with them. – LuniZunie_(talk) 19:28, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

I understand. Have a good day! An22inkle (talk) 19:41, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page 2007 in Bangladesh, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:

• A dates error. References show this error when one of the date-containing parameters is incorrectly formatted. Please edit the article to correct the date and ensure it is formatted to follow the Wikipedia Manual of Style's guidance on dates. (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) (talk) 19:08, 25 February 2026 (UTC)
