User:PhiloBot

This is the main page for PhiloBot, a bot that I had set up on Wikipedia intending to (semi-)automatically generate graphical relationships among philosophers/thinkers and, eventually, fix broken information boxes about them (some of which I did, manually). The approval is still to be found here.

Unfortunately, I soon realized that my idea was not as good as it originally sounded: even trying to limit the size of the graphics and the number of nodes, this kind of relationship graphic easily gets too confusing to be of any good; plus, it usually ends up incorporating very large files that would stress Wikipedia's servers without much gain for the readers.

Thus, I decided to suspend this bot. If you know hot to officially shut down a bot, please drop me a line at my talk page. tresoldi (talk) 04:24, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
