How exactly will it tell the difference between an advertising link and a legitimate link? Q T C 22:15, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

A bot operator must have a familiarity with the English Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and must have the trust of the community. You have not had opportunity to demonstrate either, as your account was created only yesterday and you have not yet contributed to our encyclopedia in any way. If you are serious about this request, come back in a few months after you have had time to build a familiarity with Wikipedia as a normal editor. Anomie⚔ 03:25, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
