There are lots of papers about bots which throw out the example of Rambot for a few sentences without dwelling on the case too much -- I'm certainly guilty of this, so I won't vanity cite them. However, Niederer and van Dijck [1] spend a good amount of time discussing the Rambot case in detail in their great NMS article. Andrew Lih's The Wikipedia Revolution [2] also goes pretty in-depth into the history of Rambot, talking about came to be and what it did, along with some controversies it created.
Thanks for sharing this Stuart. I for one would love to read a bibliography of research about Wikipedia bots and automation :-)
