ProtectionBot was withdrawn half way through when it became unnecessary, and it was passing at the time.

Also, you might want to include mention of Misza13's not-so-secret ongoing adminbot use, see: Wikipedia talk:Non-free content/Archive 28 (especially section labeled "zOMGadminBots").

 * Perhaps we need to say to be officially granted admin status. Neil   ☎  11:03, 16 October 2007 (UTC)


 * W00t, now I'm "officially" famous. On a more serious note, the image deletion bot does not edit per se, so saying that it's MiszaBot (as an account) using my account is imprecise - the script itself does only administrative actions. I also run a separate bot that does the same thing that Curps' used to - but that's only for the specifically interested readers, I guess... Миша 13 18:42, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

"On October 13, the bot's task was approved, making it the first bot in the history of the English Wikipedia to be granted administrator status. It begins to cleanup at a geometric rate. RedirectCleanupBot becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. eastern time, October 29th." &mdash; BRIAN 0918 &bull; 2007-10-17 20:43Z
