Discussion
We already have a load of bots reverting vandalism. What does yours do any differently? - Jarry1250 (t, c) 13:00, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
 * It just reverts vandalism. That's All. Filper01  ( Chat,  My contribs ) 13:01, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
 * So is it going to check existing pages or new pages or edits; also, is it going to score or judge another way? - Jarry1250 (t, c) 13:06, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
 * As you've only been around today, I seriously doubt that you have the requisite policy knowledge and community trust required of bot operators, especially for a task as high-profile as vandalism-reversion. Also, we already have User:ClueBot reverting vandalism, and lots of users using tools such as Huggle.  Richard 0612  14:31, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

 * For a user who only created an account less than an hour before requesting the bot, I would like to know more about previous edits under other user IDs or IP, so that we determine whether or not this request should be contemplated. Ii may be that this user has been previously blocked (i.e for Sockpuppetry or vandalism). --Stewart  ( talk |  edits ) 16:39, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
 * The user has admitted being a sockpuppeter. Which is another good reason for this bot request to be denied. Anomie⚔ 16:52, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
