The only remaining problem I have with Rambot's articles is the formatting, which is archaic now and would require a rather clever bot to update without damaging edits that have been made to the original base.
It took data and rendered it in prose form. These days we'd just put the data in as template parameters.
But I'm sure FritzpollBot will be using modern style guidelines for templates and citations when generating articles so that should be fine.
The considerable human review and involvement of country WikiProjects will help a great deal (and I suggest makes a nonsense of Nathan's assertion that these articles will be "untouched for a decade").
