[Wikipedia-l] Asking for bot status

[GerardM]

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
