User:Lsj has written 4000 lines of C# source code on

of the DotNetWikiBot framework, to create 10,000 articles
in Swedish about bird species in the spring of 2012 and
recently even more articles in Swedish about fungi species.
Some information about his Lsjbot is found here,
http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Projekt_DotNetWikiBot_Framework/Lsjb…
The otherwise very reluctant/skeptic/picky Swedish Wikipedia
community has gladly accepted these well-written articles.
I think it would be interesting if a community of wikipedians
in some other language would try to translate this bot.
Some languages might have notability or relevance requirements
that these species don't fulfill, others might think 1700
bytes is a too short article. But I think the citation of
sources and correctness of fact would be generally accepted.
The need for such bots should cease after Wikidata is fully deployed. I
suggest to interested programmers that they should direct their effort
there.
