I've always been surprised how all the time this discussion re-appears, most of the arguments are based about in-Wikipedia discussion and not about the impact of our goal: spread free knowledge. "What about the number of articles? And the ranking? And the 'Random articles'?" and so on... when most of our users don't care about that. They care about Wikipedia having an answer when they are looking for some info, probably via Google or through a blue link. Do you really think they will notice or care if it was made by human or a bot?
I don't think bots are the solution and they will always have some particular issues, but please, focus the discussion if the content created by bots are useful or not, just like any other kind of article, and not about topics that only are important for those who love (like me) statistics and are reeeeeeeally involved on Wikipedia.

I learnt yesterday that the Welsh Wicipedia does not have 'stubs'. It has 'Little Acorns' - so much nicer and more descriptive. _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, mailto:wikimedia-l-request@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe
