Discussion
Beyond the WP:CONTEXTBOT issue for typos, the tasks that could be done (unsigned posts, compression) are already done by other well-polished bots. The operator also has little to no experience on Wikipedia, so WP:BOTNOTNOW applies. You can apply for bots in the future once you have more experience editing articles on Wikipedia.
