::::Anyway, if you don't mind, I guess I would like the e-mail addresses for Ed Poor that you have. It might be worth a try, anyway.

:::My statement that bots are not allowed was from item 6 in [[Conservapedia:Commandments]]. That's all I know about it.
:::I've sent you an email with the contact info for Ed Poor.
:::>>I probably don't know more about wiki bots than you--I know pretty much nothing.
::::Then we know exactly the same amount.
:::Thank you for not clicking on "block this user" when making the screenshot. :-)
:::By the way, I looked around a bit to see how the observatory vs. planetarium screwup occurred. It was created by JJacob. Aside from that incorrect edit, his edits were generally well-meaning and fully consistent with CP's mission. I don't know why he got blocked, but he did. By James "Jinx" McHugh, who was one of the brutish sysops that we had back then. Almost all of them have gone away, usually by themselves being banned after being unmasked as trolls, parodists, or just plain troublemakers. Note his block reason: "Wears Superman underwear". If you want to know why I strongly dislike flippant block reasons, that's why.
:::The right kind of bot to stop vandalism sprees is exactly the "guard dog" that Ed invented. It's too bad that it broke.
:::Based on my reading of what's going on over there, I think that very little of the contemporary vandalism sprees are from people who have RW accounts. In any case, vandalism doesn't "come from" RW. It might come from a person who also has an account at RW. But you can't tell, unless you have checkuser at both sites. In the very early days of RW, someone there admitted to vandalizing CP, and that made it into the Stephanie Simon article. But I think those days are long past. In any case, there's no reason why having an account at RW (or any left-wing web site) should be cause for banning at CP.
