 * I have removed it - there is no indication that the bot operator is ready to submit this. You are welcome to ask them if this is their desired behaviour, but I will state that at this point in time it will be declined as a violation of WP:MASSCREATE as there has been no consensus shown to indicate it is a desired task.

 * per the above, with a ping to so they know my thoughts on the matter. Primefac (talk) 07:48, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

Sorry, but at this point you do not appear to be ready to be a bot operator. You have made very few edits, here or elsewhere, so we cannot tell whether you have the grasp of the English Wikipedia's policies and guidelines that is required of bot operators here. What few edits you have made recently suggest that you don't have this familiarity yet. Further, the name you've proposed for your bot here shows an unfamiliarity with WP:Bot policy, and is not possible anyway as it is already used by someone on plwiki. I recommend you spend some time as a normal editor, and try again once you have more experience. Anomie⚔ 11:42, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
