User talk:XLinkBot
| This is the talkpage of XLinkBot (formerly SquelchBot), a bot designed to revert spamming, or other edits that introduce external links which do not comply with our external links guideline, or with the policy 'What wikipedia is not' (not a repository of links section).
Please leave new comments here by clicking this link If your additions were reverted by XLinkBot, please take time to review our external links & spam guidelines, and take note that Wikipedia is not a repository of links, a directory, nor a place to promote your own work. If you feel your addition was within those policies and guidelines and are Reliable and Verifiable, and do not violate Copyright, you may undo the changes made by XLinkBot. Questions are welcome, however this talk page is for civil discussion and is not a complaints department. |

To clear things up
Hi, I nocticed that you undid my referencial edit to the link i provided in hinduism in west bengal althiugh it did have a map and a full proof.Furthermore some of the references that others put in never ever talks about hindu population in west bengal unlike my references that do.I would beleive that it would be wonderful if you understand this and do not undo revision that has good citation of real facts and put reivisions done by others that literally gives no proof of hindus in west bengal like this page (see https://www.indiaonlinepages.com/population/west-bengal-population.html).(talk) 22:36, 2 July 2022 (UTC)
- @2607:FEA8:A75B:3170:7C1C:841B:4B98:446A you used a reddit post as a reference because you cannot find it in better sources? Then the bot did the right thing, reddit is absolutely not reliable. Dirk Beetstra T C 13:07, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

The bot reverts too much
It seems that the bot will revert an entire edit that added unreferenced sources, even if most of the edit was otherwise correct. Ex. here. This collateral damage may need addressing, Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:37, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
- @Piotrus Please see the FAQ. There is also collateral damage with undoing single edits out of a series, even resulting in broken pages or spammy material staying behind. Remember that the bot mostly reverts editors that do not have a lot of experience, not regulars. Dirk Beetstra T C 19:08, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
Reverts in regards to the WWII shorts wiki page
Hi. I've recently added a few cartoon enteries that were related to WWII in List of World War II short films. It includes IA link and Youtube links to the respective cartoons. However your bot automatically reverted the page for being " inappropriate for an encyclopedia". I assume it's because of the Youtube Links. Is it ok to revert your bots edit without the youtube links? (talk), 15 December 2022 (UTC)

I am not sure how to sing my name. I am relatively new here. Can there be a simpler explanation of how to "sign" your name? Thanks! Spiritandfire44 (talk) 16:30, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
- I suggest you read WP:SIGN on how to sign your name. In essence you type 4 tildes which are ~ and they are transformed into your username with date stamp. Regarding the bot, yes it doesn't like Youtube links, so it is normally ok to revert the bot without the Youtube links. PhilKnight (talk) 18:58, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
Page being removed twice by same user
Hi there, I've been trying to create a new Wikipedia page. I've used references but it has been removed for the second time. I'm not understanding what I'm not doing correctly. Not sure how I can see who the editor was but could you please explain what the reason is for deleting the page Taryll Jackson? Kind regards, JXNLegacy (talk) 12:12, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
- See Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions/Archive 1184#Page being removed twice by same user if anyone else is confused. XLinkBot is a bot so can't help you. * Pppery * it has begun... 03:02, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

- I'd like to take a look at this when I get a chance. Beetstra and Versageek, have you been able to see what's happening here, and do you have any advice? — Newslinger talk 22:32, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
