Which sections are unnecessary? --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 12:35, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Sections such as: Where do I find a good Z-Tokens spot or where's the President of the USA's home etc.
- How will you identify them? Can we see the regular expressions? --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 20:01, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- The bot will scan pages throughout Wikipedia and if such an article meets its criteria the unnecessary sections are deleted.
- What are the criteria? --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 20:13, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- The criteria is if the bot sees anything with a lot of spam and useless discussion it will be edited out.
- How will the bot identify that? What is the algorithm? If you continue to avoid my questions, I will deny this request. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 20:23, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Hmm, that is a hard one, well it goes like this: How much gold do you get there (doesn't meet criteria), Is there a boss monster for this game? (nearly meets standards) and Why can I not get any good info out of this (meets criteria).

- The bot will scan pages throughout Wikipedia and if such an article meets its criteria the unnecessary sections are deleted.
- And how will you generate the new articles? --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 12:35, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- By creating them if they aren't there, this is a manually assisted feature of the bot.
- What content will be added? Where will you get it? --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 20:01, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- By creating them if they aren't there, this is a manually assisted feature of the bot.
- Content required will be added through research.
- This is not a bot task and can be done through your own account. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 20:13, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- What I meant was that I'll add the articles if needed and the bot will add missing content in articles.
- How will the bot find the content? --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 20:23, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- By looking through out all wikiMedia projects and finding the required information needed, if not I shall add it myself.

- Content required will be added through research.
- Also, you need to register the account. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 20:04, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Where is that?
- The account you want the bot to edit from, editbot. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 20:13, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Oh I see, well I will do that soon.

Stop adding that category to the top, it isn't a real category. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 20:15, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Denied. You clearly don't understand what a bot is. Please review Wikipedia:BOT and relevant pages. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 20:29, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
