    • Asa.zaidman, you haven't provided any explanation as to why the community thinks this could be a good idea. Have you raised it at any of the relevant WikiProjects, or at the WP:Village Pump? You haven't edited since the end of last month, are you likely to be away from Wikipedia for extended periods? If we don't hear from you, I'm intending to close this as abandoned in a few days.

Denied. Sorry, but running a bot requires good and timely interaction with others. You're not responding even while your BRFA is still running - how can we be sure that you will be responsive if approved? Max Semenik (talk) 22:12, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
