Dear all:
Since NicDumZ noticed me at my talk page, I have concerned about the current problems continued.(I'm not good at English, but I have made my effort to understand) Sometimes I do not comment as yours, because I don't know how to speak out in English.

Since I got my own pybot running, involved in the program development of PyWikipedia, then got a commit authority, I have always felt what I intend is to make pywikipedia better, more efficient, higher compatibility with our Wikimedia project, and to make it less with bugs.

Even though I'm not a good speaker, I feel like I should apologize for my actions and those distresses caused by me. I should not practice these commits before a complete understanding of here's routines. 


Next, I would like to explain some commit about global bot flag:

*The original idea from I got the global flag, and when I use pywikipedia, it always said I don't have flag.Another problem is there are too many user-setting in user-config.py, and very hard to manage them. So I think if I set a variable in families to mark allowed global bot and write some determines to check if the language is allowed, I can make easier to use pybot.

And if I can set one bot account name is user-config, I hope I can use it in all projects with allowed global bot flag.(It's not done yet, I only pre-set a boolean variable in config.py)
