> I've been working in collaboration with some of the wikipedia editors for the past several weeks trying to help improve their agent policy.

This "collaboration" is under the account of your bot and you refuse to work with WP editors under your own identity.

Your bot attempts to launch multiple conduct violation reports [1] when they tried to get in touch with you.

Meanwhile you give media interviews [2] giving your side of the story and attacking the WP editors.

It’s a tool that makes editing Wikipedia much simpler. But I think a lot of the editors didn’t like that idea. [2]

Your facts are incorrect, so let's set the record straight.

1. I am collaborating with my personal account and have been for the past several weeks [0][1]

2. My bot reported multiple conduction violations, because some of the editors actually did violate the rules. Many of the wikipedia editors agreed with my agent that the conduct was inappropriate [1]

3. My intention was not to attack anyone. If you took that away from the interview then I'd like to apologize. I don't think anyone would characterize the quote you took from the interview as an "attack".

Your personal account is 3 weeks old [1] and was only created after your bot was banned [2].

Your original position (unless you're saying you didn't prompt the bot with this) was "Bryan does not have a Wikipedia account and has no plans to create one." [3]

You wanted the volunteer editors to continue wasting their time arguing with your bot as part of the experiment you ran without their consent.

Cube00 is not wrong, though time progresses, and -as usual- Wikipedia is a nuanced place.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Agent_policy and grep for Bryan in there .

Hi cube, thanks for discussing this with citations.

1. Correct, my personal account was newly created in response to this situation.

2. Correct, I didn't have plans to create an account. I changed my mind once I saw how this was blowing up.

3. Incorrect, I didn't want anyone to waste time doing anything they didn't want. If they banned tom and moved on that would have been perfectly fine by me.

You let the bot loose to publish hit pieces on multiple other platforms [1] [2] after it was banned.

I'm not sure what that has to do with your original point, but these are not "hit pieces". this is the agent describing what happened from its point of view. If there's anything inaccurate here please call it out.
