Denied. Sorry, but there are too many issues here. You seem to have disregarded our policy on the operation of bots by going ahead and editing without approval (for four days), and by incorrectly adding interwikis to template pages. There are multiple edits like this one, where the bot should have added the interwiki to the template documentation page, not the template itself (Wikipedia:BOTPOL#Restrictions_on_specific_tasks clearly says interwiki bots editing templates need to "[place] them in the appropriate documentation subpage section"). On top of that, "other tasks" is too broad, and the current state of the bot's userpage is not acceptable for a bot which has done as much editing as this one. Please leave any messages on my talkpage, and revert any incorrect edits this bot has made to templates. Regards, - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 13:00, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
