Hoi,
Andre runs a bot for years now on the English Wikipedia .. He runs his bot
on probably every Wikipedia in the same way as my bot runs on every
Wiktionary.
When you are to ask for bot status on a 10 article project, there is often
no beer parlour but the stewards expect you to ask the community where there
is no established way of finding them.
I can appreciate Andre's sentiments because I share them. I think some 2/3
of my bots have the bot flag. Mine are all called RobotGMwikt where Andre's
bot is called Robbot. The bots that I run, run 24 hours a day and edit all
wiktionaries whenever there is a need for an edit on any Wiktionary
NB this mailing list is for ALL wikipedias and it is not exclusively
English..
Thanks,
GerardM

Your email below states that someone asked you to request it "for your
bot".
Are you running a bot on the english wikipedia? If so under what account?
Thanks,

Subject: [Wikipedia-l] Asking for bot status
I am sometimes asked to request for bot status for
my bot. I find this
strange. Bot status is there for the normal users of the wiki, not for
the bot operator. If you want my bot to have bot status, then you
request it. I'd be happy to help you in that, but why should I request
something just because someone else wants it?
