Withdrawn by operator. The bot has made several successful edits but I'm forced to question the actual usefulness of this bot. My concerns may be unwarranted but I can see this request becoming incredibly controversial, so I must withdraw from this task. I apologize for any inconvenience caused to the requestors of this task. Thank you, --ceradon (talk • contribs) 13:53, 30 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
