How is this useful? How does this help to improve the encyclopedia? --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs 12:45, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Agreed - Its a lot of edits that doesnt specifically have any positive affect on WP... Reedy Boy 13:11, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

ST47 is right. The bot is not very useful for Wikipedia. But a little bit of fun may we have, and it is easier to include a template into a User page but looking at Interiot/WannaBeKate. --Petar Marjanovic 14:38, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Denied. Per the bot policy, the burden of proof is on the bot-maker to demonstrate that the bot is useful, and this bot does not appear useful. —METS501 (talk) 17:46, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
