Hmm. Welcoming a bot. That's slightly amusing. I never got an "official" welcome when I first started, so I'll just have to enjoy being welcomed vicariously through my bot. :) --TheParanoidOne 20:49, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Actually I came here just to do so, but since you're being sarcastic, I called it off. - Eagleamn 23:37, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Automated message to bot owners

As a result of discussion on the village pump and mailing list, bots are now allowed to edit up to 15 times per minute. The following is the new text regarding bot edit rates from Wikipedia:Bot Policy:

Until new bots are accepted they should wait 30-60 seconds between edits, so as to not clog the recent changes list and user watchlists. After being accepted and a bureaucrat has marked them as a bot, they can edit at a much faster pace. Bots doing non-urgent tasks should edit approximately once every ten seconds, while bots who would benefit from faster editing may edit approximately once every every four seconds.

Also, to eliminate the need to spam the bot talk pages, please add Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard to your watchlist. Future messages which affect bot owners will be posted there. Thank you. --Mets501 05:12, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
