Dear all,
I am quite concerned, if such a proposal (I did not read it all due to the longuish and imho too emotional discussions) gets 2/3 support will there then come people, probably without even knowing that particular language, into the wikis with bot articles and delete them overruling the community?
The link to this proposal is not published anywhere (only the meta-rc readers are aware of it), I have not seen it in any other ml or village pump. Imho this should be decided by communities only and the latter are just the ones who are not informed. Therefore I personally regard this proposal invalid.
Best regards, Elisabeth Anderl

On it.wp we did not use the bots for creating the articles about the 8,000+ municipalities of Italy. Nevertheless, we created some templates and schemes to be applied for creating a consistent series of articles, that have been created "manually" by merging the data from the national statistical agency of Italy. Bots weren't yet running on it:wp in that time.
People who participated in this thread, specially who submitted their opinions about bot-generation articles and its good and bad, may be interested in an on-going vote on a bot-generated article related proposal.
