what do you mean by "perhaps fair articles"? this is approval for the bot and the task(s) that you plan on running. you need to specify the exact meaning behind that statement and what language are the self-made scripts in and how are they used?

 * I mean i'm preparing a script in Python to place a star before the interwiki, when an article become a FA (but i'll make test on the french Wikipedia before and will assist my bot to do that !).
 * So basically when an article becomes featured on the French Wikipedia this bot will go to the English equivalent of that article and add to it? — Mets501 (talk) 07:06, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Yep ! (de: <=> fr: & en: <=> fr: & de: <=> en:) But this feature - at this time - is only experimental and human-assisted Kyle the bot 10:13, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
