I've fixed the cite title. The edit in question was: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Artificial_heart&diff=463363432&oldid=461803734 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Beefman (talk • contribs)
In this edit [1] all the images where broken. Not sure if it is an isolated problem.Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 17:16, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
Greetings-
My name is Randall Livingstone, and I am a graduate student at the University of Oregon, currently collecting data for my dissertation on Wikipedia editors who create and use bots and assisted editing tools, as well as editors involved in the initial and/or ongoing creation of bot policies on Wikipedia. As a member of the bot community and bot operator, I would very much like to interview you for the project at a time and in a method that is most convenient for you (Gchat, another IM client, Skype, email, telephone, etc.). I am completely flexible and can work with your schedule. The interview will take approximately 30-45 minutes.
My dissertation project has been approved both by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) at the University of Oregon, and by the Research Committee at the Wikimedia Foundation. You can find more information on the project on my meta page.
Please let me know if you have any questions, and I look forward to hearing from you to set up a time to chat. Thank you very much.
Randall Livingstone, School of Journalism & Communication, University of Oregon

Could you look at the edits by an anonymous IP for the article Eulophia petersii and Dendrophylax lindenii. He claims he is citing sources but I'd like a second opinion on how blind I am about his sources. :-D CanadianLinuxUser (talk) 17:51, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
Would you tweak the citations, please. Thank you. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 13:54, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
RjwilmsiBot made these changes to my edits. I don't see any difference. :- ) DCS 13:21, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
Why does Rjwilmsibot add an extra blank line between the categories and the stub template? (Example.) I was not aware that double blank lines are needed or recommended here. GregorB (talk) 22:28, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
Seriously concerned over the bot adding persondata to 16 and Pregnant. [2] — Moe ε 05:23, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
Hey, your bot keeps adding Passed To as the authors first and last name in citations. Passed to clearly isn't the author, but how the info was received by the news service. Hopefully this can be an easy fix! Thanks! Jeancey (talk) 23:39, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
In this edit to Naomi Wolf the bot changed ((cite web)) to ((cite news)) for a reference to the home page of Naomi Wolf's blog at Huffington Post. I wouldn't characterize it that way, of course. But this may be the kind of semantic distinction that is difficult for a bot. M.boli (talk) 16:32, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
The Persondata template has been listed for deletion or modification at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2012 January 30#Template:Persondata. Since your bot does a lot of changes to persondaya and would need to be modified if the template is deleted or modifed I am leaving this notice. --Kumioko (talk) 16:33, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
In a citation in Evolution of Mammals, #30 at this writing, I linked to this pdf; Figure 2 in the article beautifully sources statements I added in my edit of 28 January 2012 at 00:07. The figure takes up most of a page in the pdf.
Your modification of the reference replaced the pdf link with this link to an HTML page of the article. Figure 2, which I regard as so important, was reduced to thumbnail size; none of the captions are all legible. To be sure, one can obtain a larger display by positioning the mouse pointer over the tiny image, but not everyone knows enough to do this. I didn't, until someone showed me in discussing this matter.
What is the reason for the change?
Assuming that you have no objection, I would like to change the link so that it again points to the pdf. If your edit (which uses parameters that I do not understand) provided additional aids to users following up the reference, I would appreciate advice as to how to retain them. Also, I hope that you can advise how to discourage other well-meaning users of AWB, whatever that is, from replacing the pdf link again.
