BotCompuGeek
Operator: NDCompuGeek

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Manually Assisted

Programming Language(s): AWB

Function Summary: AWB editing

Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): daily (mostly)

Edit rate requested: 5 edits per minute (at max speed, probably significantly less)

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

We need to know exactly what you intend to do with this account, an example would be nice. ST47 Talk 15:50, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
 * OK - thanks.  Please forgive me, I'm new at doing this bot stuff.  Anyway, an example would be what I did with my account 16 April 2007: I used AWB to tag and assess musical instruments that were not assessed.  This is the kind of work I see this account performing - repetitive, usually relatively simple things like an initial assessment or tagging unassessed or uncategorized articles that belong in WPMILHIST or WPMusInst.  The reason I would like a bot account to do it is because I was purposely going slower to keep the edits under ~2/minute, and with a bot account I could go a bit faster.  Another reason I would like a bot account is because I personally believe that this kind of easy editing (using AWB to put {WPMusInst} on unassessed musical instrument articles) is a form of "padding" my edit count, a kind of editcountitis....  Again, my personal belief, "your mileage may vary"....  - NDCompuGeek 00:13, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
 * approved for wikiproject tagging or assessment for WPMILHIST or WPMusInst, talk to the AWB guys for approval and come back once you have 50 edits or so. ST47 Talk 12:25, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Thank you. ST47 Talk 10:24, 8 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Trial run complete, see here for contribs. Did a few articles for WPMusInst, and a few for WPMILHIST.  No issues, no problems, everything acted and performed as it should!  - NDCompuGeek 12:47, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
