They even roll back corrections to grammar. Power tripping overrides common sense.

- shevy-java 4mo agoThis could be automatic. I noticed this myself because I corrected both typos in english and german wikipedia; sometimes they are reverted, sometimes not. There seems no logic in it, so I assumed that in some cases this must have been automatic wiki bots reverting something.
- NordStreamYacht 4mo agoThis was like 10 years ago. Long before the real invasion of the bots. I don't even remember the username or password of my account any more.
- Nnnes 4mo agoThe main anti-vandalism bot ClueBot was created in 2007, and its successor ClueBot NG in 2010. They certainly have false positives from time to time, but that doesn't mean they aren't the most useful bots on the website.
- Gander5739 4mo agoIt aims to have a false positive rate of 0.1%
- andrepd 4mo agoAnti-vandalism bots have been used for much longer than 10 years lol
- NordStreamYacht 4mo agoDon't know, don't care. Wikipedia is not a major source of information for me any more, the summaries from various search engines are enough. For everything else there's grok.
- NordStreamYacht 4mo agoI would expect a bot to be consistent. Wikipedia editors? Not so much.
