[edit] Discussion

You have few edits here. Do you run a bot on lt-wiki? (lt:Specialus:Contributions/Rtz-bot shows only a handful of edits) Gimmetrow 07:34, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Running right now. Working on bat-smg too. --Rtz (talk) 17:29, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

When I asked at 07:34, 7 May 2008, lt:User:Rtz-bot had 3 edits. Do you have any other bot experience? Gimmetrow 08:03, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

There is some information about bot activity: http://tools.wikimedia.de/~purodha/sample/dbswithuser.php?usr=Rtz-bot --Rtz (talk) 12:41, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

That's not much activity. Are you doing any interwiki work not covered by some other bot? My inclination is not to approve this until you have a month experience running interwiki on other projects. What do other BAG think? Gimmetrow 02:27, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Far too bureaucratic. If he's running good code here and on other wikis, there's no reason not to let him do it. — Werdna talk 06:10, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

OK, I see User:Rtz is an admin/crat on bat-smg. It would have helped to note that. Gimmetrow

Works on lt.wikipedia, no need for a trial run here. Approved. — Werdna talk 12:49, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
