Definitely meets a need. But may I suggest:
See this difference. Your bot then reverted that edit. Removing both the correction to the name and the example.jpg. Is there a way to prevent this? I could imagine a situation where someone does a lot of work to an article and then the bot reverts because they messed up one thing. KnightLago ( talk) 13:39, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
Per the discussions above and this thread Wikipedia:Bureaucrats'_noticeboard#Deflag_TestEditBot. This bot has been deflagged for the time being. — Rlevse • Talk • 18:57, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

List of people from Sheffield is corect with the text (BOLD TEXT = Born In Sheffield) at the top of page, yours in antcipation that you fix this error - BulldozerD11 ( talk) 09:46, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
What is the status of this account? Are you going to get a flag? As it stands now the account is unflagged and editing. KnightLago ( talk) 21:16, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
Sorry Bot ... you incorrectly reverted my edit of Emo haters, which was not a test edit. Your revert has been reverted. Truthanado ( talk) 03:09, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
You should not leave rude and impertinent edits on the pages of long standing and highly respected editors such as myself. I shall overlook you incivility on this occasion, but please beware, the consequences of such manifest oafishness will not be tolerated by such as myself in future.

I changed an incorrect usage of 'an' to 'a' and you undid that! How did it help? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Andvd ( talk • contribs) 08:58, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
I'm here like everyone else to complain about yet another case of auto-vandalism by your bot. As is clearly explained in the edit summary of this revision, it is not a test edit:

Your bot is crap and is harming wikipedia; turn it off. 89.176.31.200 ( talk) 13:47, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we must insist that you
assume good faith while interacting with other editors. Take a look at the
welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.
I would appreciate if someone could fix this thing -- its "comment" about my "test revert" on [2] was fairly silly, considering I was reporting a CSD A2. Ecoleetage ( talk) 18:36, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
Welcome, and thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test on the page

reverted or removed. Please take a look at the
welcome page to learn more about contributing to
this encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment further, please use the
sandbox. Thank you.

I removed a 3rd opinion header from a page on which a third opinion was given. Not a test edit. Maybe a fix in this things code will prevent such future reverts? XavierGreen ( talk) 07:39, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
I am also here to complain. Your bot reverted an edit by me restoring a db-nonsense tag. It thus removed the tag again. As you can see my tag was justified - the article has been speedily deleted by now. Reverts like this should not happen and I do not like negative entries like this on my talk page.

Fortunately it's a low key edit war. They haven't gotten to calling each other names, or making nasty comments on each other's user talk pages. :-) Still, take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Harper%27s_Bazaar&action=history . I'll drop a similar note on the other bot maintainer's page - can the two of you straighten it out, please? -- GRuban ( talk) 20:38, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
I got warned because I accidently reverted another editor who had reverted a test edit...if that sounds like garble. :)
No hard feelings, though, but I will remove that warning. — LaPianista! «talk» 04:15, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
Ummm... this was not a test edit... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikilost ( talk • contribs) 02:52, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
I made use of the Emergency Bot Shutoff Button. (Note left on bot owner's talk page as well). In the TestEditBot's bot approval, the function descripion is "Check if it matches a pre-defined list of common test edits and make sure it is the sole changed content (other than newlines) so it doesnt interfere with useful additions." (bold mine) — so it seems that the bot is not functioning as approved, if the triggers are to be the sole changed content. This behavior — mixture of triggers and legitimate contents reverted — has been reported above by a few editors. ERcheck ( talk) 04:23, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
