User talk:BOTepho

Primarily used to remove fair use images from user pages and such in line with Wikipedia's fair use policy. See User:Durin/Removal of fair use images for more information.

Only run periodically, probably limited by the release of database dumps, at least until the toolserver's replication is fixed.

If there are any problems related to the bot please leave a message here and ping my owner's talk page if it is urgent.

todo:
 * Some infoboxes use only the image name as a parameter for some reason, =(
 * It also sometimes doesn't even have Image: as a prefix!

This is a automated to all bot operators

Automated message to bot owners
As a result of discussion on the village pump and mailing list, bots are now allowed to edit up to 15 times per minute. The following is the new text regarding bot edit rates from Bot Policy: "Until new bots are accepted they should wait 30-60 seconds between edits, so as to not clog the recent changes list and user watchlists. After being accepted and a bureaucrat has marked them as a bot, they can edit at a much faster pace. Bots doing non-urgent tasks should edit approximately once every ten seconds, while bots who would benefit from faster editing may edit approximately once every every four seconds." Also, to eliminate the need to spam the bot talk pages, please add Bot owners' noticeboard to your watchlist. Future messages which affect bot owners will be posted there. Thank you. --Mets501 00:42, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Query
I need help renaming about 200 articles. Doing this by hand would take me all day.

Can your bot rename articles, or be adapted to do so?

If so, please contact me.

Thank you.
