- Hello!! I am Cyberpower678. I am an administrator on Wikipedia. Despite that, I'm still your run of the mill user here on Wikipedia.
- I specialize in bot work and tools, but I lurk around RfPP, AfD, AIV, and AN/I, as well as RfA. If you have any questions in those areas, please feel free to ask. :-)
- I also serve as a mailing list moderator and account creator over at the Account Creation Center. If you have any questions regarding an account I created for you, or the process itself, feel free to email the WP:ACC team or me personally.
- At current I have helped to create accounts for 2500 different users and renamed 721 other users.
- Disputes or discussions that appear to have ended or is disputed will be archived.
All the best.—cyberpower

Bot Bug[edit]
Some of the GA stuff nominated in the book went to Unassessed without being properly checked. All of them should be classified as GA and the overall book as well, instead of Start class. Since this is nominated for Good topic and therefore everything must be GA. I addressed something that might be related to the bot giving the article the wrong classification. Despite this I would like some feedback. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 12:55, 1 February 2017 (UTC)

- My maintenance of the task governing this is very minimal. I have nothing much to offer right now.—CYBERPOWER (Around) 13:59, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
- So what should I do? Since the error keeps appearing. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 11:08, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

"Revision history statistics"[edit]
I think you were involved with these pages. They have just been replaced with some German thing which seems to have less useful info. Is this permanent? Thank you. Sammy D III (talk) 17:16, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
- No it is not. xTools is being rewritten.—CYBERPOWER (Chat) 14:00, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
- Yours is back, maybe better? Thank you. Sammy D III (talk) 18:57, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
Error/bug by Cyberbot at WP:RFPP/Rolling archive[edit]
The bot archived more fulfilled and declined requests. However, it also removed most of past requests. What can be done about it? --George Ho (talk) 19:57, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
- I have no idea what is causing that. I'll restart the bot.—CYBERPOWER (Chat) 14:00, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
A kitten for you![edit]
Thank you for your bot message. I have gone through to hopefully correct the formatting of my request to (temporary) semi-protect the page article for "Johnson Amendment".

Cyberbot message confusing[edit]
Hallo, I've just noticed the Cyberbot message at User_talk:Michael_Glenwood#Issuing_level_1_warning_about_removing_AfD_template_from_articles_before_the_discussion_is_complete._.28Peachy_2.0_.28alpha_8.29.29.
Could I suggest that the section heading doesn't need to have a link to Peachy. Even as an experienced editor, I saw that heading, thought "What on earth...?", clicked on the link and was not enlightened. The editor who has removed an AfD template (whether a newbie or a vandal) doesn't need to know what software was used to create the warning, and it's just confusing. If you need to include it in the message, then please bury it near the end of the text, with some wording like "Cyberbot was using the (Peachy 2.0 (alpha 8)) software", perhaps in small font. Thanks.

- In fact most level 1 warning templates only include the month and year, and not the text "Issuing level 1 warning". Perhaps this "First offence" template warning should be altogether gentler? PamD 09:28, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
- What you are looking at is a bug. That text is supposed to go in the edit summary.—CYBERPOWER (Chat) 14:02, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
