 | This user account is a bot operated by Lightmouse (talk). It is used to make repetitive automated or semi-automated edits that would be extremely tedious to do manually, in accordance with the bot policy. Administrators: if this bot is malfunctioning or causing harm, please block it. |

I have blocked this bot
This edit changed the words "third century BC" to "third century", making it appear that it might have been AD.
That sort of edit is not tolerable and I have accordingly blocked this bot.
The operator of this bot needs to go back and fix ALL such edits and give some credible assurance that this bug has been fixed, before this bot can be allowed to continue to function. Michael Hardy (talk) 15:19, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
Lightbot (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
Thanks for stopping the bot and providing a clear example. I have traced the relevant subsection of code and fixed it. It is an infrequent false positive with a particular set of circumstances. Finding the affected articles directly is nontrivial. However, I can resample the target articles and can fix them as Lightbot is processing them. I will need both Lightbot and Lightmouse to be unblocked - the latter got hit when an autoblock was incorrectly applied to a bot account.Notes:
- In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
- Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.
If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, replace this template with the following, replacing "blocking administrator" with the name of the blocking admin:
{{Unblock on hold |1=blocking administrator |2=Thanks for stopping the bot and providing a clear example. I have traced the relevant subsection of code and fixed it. It is an infrequent false positive with a particular set of circumstances. Finding the affected articles directly is nontrivial. However, I can resample the target articles and can fix them as Lightbot is processing them. I will need both Lightbot and Lightmouse to be unblocked - the latter got hit when an autoblock was incorrectly applied to a bot account. |3 = ~~~~}}
If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following code, substituting {{subst:Decline reason here}} with a specific rationale. Leaving the decline reason unchanged will result in display of a default reason, explaining why the request was declined.
{{unblock reviewed |1=Thanks for stopping the bot and providing a clear example. I have traced the relevant subsection of code and fixed it. It is an infrequent false positive with a particular set of circumstances. Finding the affected articles directly is nontrivial. However, I can resample the target articles and can fix them as Lightbot is processing them. I will need both Lightbot and Lightmouse to be unblocked - the latter got hit when an autoblock was incorrectly applied to a bot account. |decline = {{subst:Decline reason here}} ~~~~}}
If you accept the unblock request, replace this template with the following, substituting Accept reason here with your rationale:
{{unblock reviewed |1=Thanks for stopping the bot and providing a clear example. I have traced the relevant subsection of code and fixed it.
