Dear All,
We tried to filter the list of Wikipedia page editors (obtained from the page histories) to be able to get the list of nonrobot contributors. As we realized, the first one of the following links with the list of Wikipedia bots contains more bot users than the second one. Furthermore, when we used the first (more complete) bot list for the filtering, we still found bot users among the remaining editors.
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Wikipedia_bots_by_name&am... http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ListUsers&limit=500&am...
Do You have any idea, why these two bot lists are different? Is there a complete list of Wikipedia bots?
Thank You!

Not all bot's userpages are placed in the correct catergories. for the first one to work correctly, second one will show you all the bots with the bot flag attached.
