Operator: BJ^Talk

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic

Programming Language(s): Python w/ pywikipedia

Function Summary: Tag images that don't comply with WP:NFCC#10c

Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): Continuous

Edit rate requested: maxlag=5

Already has a bot flag (Y/N): Y

Function Details: This is basically the same as Betacommand's version. It checks nonfree images for the title of every page that uses it (link or not) and if the titles are not there (indicating lack of FUR for every use) tag the image. It then will leave a message on the uploaders user talk and the talk page of the articles the image is in use on. It will not follow {{nobots}} but it will follow the openly editable opt out list. From what I can tell this is what BetacommandBot is doing, minus the ability to unilateral destroy Wikipedia or take over small countries. The source will be released but due to the nature of the bot it should not be cloned. Let the drama commence! The source code

Discussion

It sounds good to me so far. Once the code is released, and, we get some more commenting on this fairly important task, I'd really like to see a trial. SQL^{Query me!} 06:43, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

I would suggest, however (not require), that you run this bot under a separate username. That's another of the common complaints associated with this task. SQL^{Query me!} 06:48, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

This bot task should definitely use a separate user account in case it is approved. I also strongly suggest to not use language like "Let the drama commence". This is entierly unneeded and inflammatory. As such I do have some doubts if Bjweeks is the right person to execute this delicate task. After all, we have seen where this leads to. --Ligulem (talk) 10:57, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm going to split NotifyBot out in to a different account, leaving BJBot to only dealing with image tasks. BJ^Talk 11:17, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

This response by BJ clearly shows that he is unsuitable for running this task here. This request should not be approved. --Ligulem (talk) 12:53, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Wait, what? By that standard Betacommand shouldn't run anything. Are we here to see if my code is reliable or count how many kittens I saved this month? BJ^Talk 13:02, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

We are indeed not here to just check whether your code is reliable or not. --Ligulem (talk) 13:20, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
