Purpose of the "bot" account

This will be a semi-automated account, but in full control by me. It will take yesterday's category from proposed deletion, check the articles in that category, and apend a message similar to this:

An article that you created, [[:{{{1}}}]], was proposed for deletion, probably yesterday. Please review the policy on proposed deletion and feel free to comment on the article's talk page. If no contest is made, the article will be deleted in four days from today.

I just want to make the edits under this account because they will be repetitive and I want to do them quickly. The bot should run daily starting at 00:10 UTC. User:AmiDaniel is scripting a process for me and it will probably be integrated into AWB. He told me to get a bot account for this.--Kungfu Adam ^(talk) 23:26, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

This is a automated to all bot operators

Please take a few moments and fill in the data for your bot on Wikipedia:Bots/Status Thank you Betacommand ^{(talk • contribs • Bot)} 19:39, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Automated message to bot owners

As a result of discussion on the village pump and mailing list, bots are now allowed to edit up to 15 times per minute. The following is the new text regarding bot edit rates from Wikipedia:Bot Policy:

Until new bots are accepted they should wait 30-60 seconds between edits, so as to not clog the recent changes list and user watchlists. After being accepted and a bureaucrat has marked them as a bot, they can edit at a much faster pace. Bots doing non-urgent tasks should edit approximately once every ten seconds, while bots who would benefit from faster editing may edit approximately once every every four seconds.

Also, to eliminate the need to spam the bot talk pages, please add Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard to your watchlist. Future messages which affect bot owners will be posted there. Thank you. --Mets501 03:09, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
