 | This user account is a bot operated by TheFearow (talk). It is used to make repetitive automated or semi-automated edits that would be extremely tedious to do manually, in accordance with the bot policy. This bot does not yet have the approval of the community, or approval has been withdrawn or expired, and therefore shouldn't be making edits that appear to be unassisted except in the operator's or its own user and user talk space. Administrators: if this bot is making edits that appear to be unassisted to pages not in the operator's or its own userspace, please block it. |
Request for Bot Approval edit
I have a current RFB, which can be found at WP:RFB and can be viewed here.
Bot Purpose edit
Monitor Special:newpages for spam, using a points system for ranking articles. It then either nominates using WP:PROD, or WP:SPEEDY depending on how sure it is. I am currently working on new features.
Unsure Spam edit
Articles the bot is unsure about have the template Template:IdentifiedSpam added to them. This places them in the Suspected Spam Articles category.
Miscellaneous Information edit
- Programming Language: Java
- Framework: Customized JWBF (jwbf.sourceforge.net)
- Amount of edits: No more than once every 5 seconds
- Bot schedule: I will only run the bot while I am there, and due to my timezone when I am online is not usually peak times.
- Internal error: If the program has an internal error it will immediately stop updating/reading pages, and show me the error.
Other Questions edit
If you have any other questions, don't hesitate in asking on my talk page. NOT THE BOTS TALK PAGE!
