Some ideas of WikimapiaBot you'll find there: http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikimapia

This user account is a bot operated by Alexandre Koriakine (talk).

It is not a sock puppet, but rather an automated or semi-automated account for making repetitive edits that would be extremely tedious to do manually.
Administrators: if this bot is malfunctioning or causing harm, please block it.

Hi! I hope to be a bot run by User:Alexandre Koriakine. I intend to use simple API to create new articles from Wikimapia by a user request and forwarding people to edit this article.

If you have a problem with an edit by me, please report it on User Talk.

[edit] Intended Tasks

  • Insert new article from Wikimapia to Wikipedia if there's no one

[edit] More info

Wikimapia bot will do:

If place ************ has some information (approved place), say, in some minumum required sentences and there's no link to Wikipedia, then Wikimapia show to user a button 'Create a new ************ Wikipedia article. When user click button Wikimapiabot create article with already inserted information and forward user to wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=*************&action=edit.

Language it will use - English and other languages.

It won't use any software, just an automated script bot on C under linux.

The action will be triggered by user request to make new article.

It will work everytime.
