User talk:JamesR/TalkArchive/2020/August
Hey, James
User:AdminStatsBot seems to be updating in a very small, partial way. Maybe the folks at HQ have thrown another monkey wrench into the system, causing things to break. I work with another bot that stopped updating a couple days ago. Liz Read! Talk! 00:21, 1 August 2020 (UTC)

Accidental click
Dear User:JamesR, I apologise for the revert I made here. It was due to an accidental click. Kind regards, AnupamTalk 00:02, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
Broken edit summary
HBC AIV helperbot5 made an edit with this edit summary: 4 IPs left. rm [[Special:Contributions/2600:1700:89F0:2880:B96D:33B7:C634:BBB|2600:1700:89F0:2880:B96D:33B7:C634:BBB]] ([[Special:Contributions/|]] rangeblocked unknownby [[User:|]] [[User:HBC AIV helperbot/Legend|(TPD)]]).
. I'm not sure what went wrong there; to me, it looks like a perfectly normal block (not a rangeblock, and not with talk page access disabled). Jackmcbarn (talk) 21:29, 29 July 2020 (UTC)

UAA and non-indefinite blocks
Can you update your bot so that when a user on UAA is blocked, but the block isn't indefinite, it just leaves a comment instead of removing the entry? Jackmcbarn (talk) 03:02, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
