[Hasteur Wikipedia]

It's accessing enWiki though the api interface which means it has a registered name. It's presumably accessing over the rate limit for requests. To go through and copy out each article that is nominated for csd, that's a lot of requests on the projects resources.  Even NullEditBot (which never edits pages) must have authorization.
