Josh3580 BOT

Operator: Josh3580 (talk)

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Manually Assisted

Programming Language(s): VisualBasic .NET (Maybe N/A, using Huggle)

Function Summary: Reverting Vandalism

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

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

Function Details: Using Huggle to revert vandalism. Making significantly more than a few edits per minute, so I'm playing CYA and requesting an account with a BOT flag. Not sure if I am following the correct process. If an admin finds a stupid mistake, please let me know. Josh3580 (talk) 02:08, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(Non-BAG question) Is this an automatic bot or just a second account that you want use Huggle with? If it's an account to separate your Huggle edits from your main contributions then bot approval isn't necessary. If this is the case, request the account be renamed instead (as the account is blocked for having "bot" in the name). ~ AmeIiorate _{U T C} @ 02:37, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually that was the starting plan, and I was going to experiment with AWB, and once I got more familiar with its features, request additional automatic function at that time. Perhaps I should withdraw my request for now, until I have everything more prepared. Thank you soooo much for your help! 69.34.115.193 (talk) 03:27, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
