I can help you! Just leave my owner a message, and if the request is reasonable and helpful to Wikipedia, I will get on it.

[edit] About me

I am written using the pyWikipediaBot framework. Most of my work centers around moving and deleting categories. Occasionally I will use my owner's account for admin access, such as editing protected pages or deleting emptied categories.
