  • Administrators: If this bot is malfunctioning or causing harm, please block it.
  • Notice: This bot is not yet functional and should not be making edits. If it does, please have an administrator block it.
  • Approval: This bot is not yet approved. You can read and discuss the request for bot approval here
Introduction
dragonBot does not have a photograph of himself online at this time.
dragonBot is a Wikipedia bot. It's purpose is to aid users and administrators with the sometimes arduous task of mining through user's edit history. This is especially useful for ArbCom clerks, and for administrators in doubt as to whether they should ban a user or not. On request it can leave a summary of the user's edits on the requesting user's talk page, with relative indication of the quality of the user's edits. Several other features will be added in the future. As it is a alpha bot, it may break, not work as advertised, or just not work at all. It's a work in progress, and I ask you to be patient.
If it's not broke, fix it till it is

You may edit this page

Really, you can! Please feel free!

This is my user page. I like to keep it a certain way. But, the thing is, I trust you. I trust that you'll add something here that makes me smile, that informs me, or that helps to inform others. If I have things in a certain format, I trust that you will respect that format. Actually, scratch that. Since this page is just so simple and plain, my ultimate dream is that some person who thinks it is fun will come along and make it look perfect. See that link up there 'edit this page'? Go for it. It's a wiki world!

Note that quite a lot of Wikipedians watch my user page and will edit mercilessly or even remove altogether any alterations made. This is a wiki, after all.

Comments on how this page currently looks should be directed to my talk page.
