Reason why this bot will not skip pages with the bots template: This archives pages, and to not let the bot archive this page is by simply remove the archive template, so there is no point of having the bot to skip pages with the bots template. Wikipedian 2 (talk) 09:17, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

• Strong oppose The operator does not appear to be competent enough to properly run a bot, and we already have enough bots that do archiving. Jackmcbarn (talk) 03:27, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

Denied. Still not ready to be a bot operator. In the time since your last bot request was denied for this reason, you seem to have done very little as far as actually working on the encyclopedia. Anomie⚔ 21:54, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
