Thanks for fixing it so fast!
In the constructor, you might want to add your lib's ID to the useragent param:
UserAgent = useragent.Trim() + " LinqWiki/1.0";
so that it would be possible not only to see that a bot is broken, but also catch framework bugs if all bots show the same problem.

I didn't realize that was a requirement for libraries (the library allowed setting the UserAgent, but it didn't force it until now). I have made that change and setting the UserAgent is now required.

Petr, make sure you require users to set their *User-Agent* string. Your library should not use any defaults.
For the examples I would recommend this *User-Agent:*
*MyCoolTool/1.1 (http://example.com/MyCoolTool/; MyCoolTool@example.com) LinqToWiki/1.0*

I'd like to introduce LinqToWiki: a new library for accessing the MediaWiki API from .Net languages (e.g. C#). Its main advantage is that it knows the API and is strongly-typed, which means autocompletion works on API modules, module parameters and result properties and correctness is checked at compile time.
