BetacommandBot Follower
Operator: Carnildo (talk)

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic

Programming Language(s): Perl

Function Summary: Follow BetacommandBot around and fix its mistakes

Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): Whenever it notices that BetacommandBot is running

Edit rate requested: No faster than BetacommandBot is running

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

Function Details:


 * Wherever BetacommandBot has used the template di-disputed fair use rationale referring to NFCC #10c, it will replace that template with one written in English.
 * Wherever BetacommandBot has left a "fair use disputed" message on a user's talk page where the image is tagged for violation of NFCC #10c, it will add a plain-English explanation of the policy.
 * If BetacommandBot has tagged an image for violating NFCC #10c, but it's possible to find an article using that image by following redirects and disambiguation pages, it will remove the template.
 * If BetacommandBot has tagged an image with di-disputed fair use rationale, but the image does not have a fair-use license tag, it will remove the dispute tag.
 * More details to come when I find more things that BetacommandBot is doing wrong.

 * Seriously, we get it, that you have a problem with BCBot... SQL Query me!  06:03, 27 November 2007 (UTC)


 * . Speedily. Not the way to resolve issue you have with another operator at best, Pointy nomination at worst. RFC is over that way if you want to get community consensus to shut down that bot. If it is clearly malfunctioning, AN/I is around the other corner. —  xaosflux  Talk 06:10, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
