A couple of comments about WikiAlpha

I see that on pages taken from WP you are properly referring at the top to CC-BY-SA; but at the foot of each page and on the front page it still says "Content is available under Public Domain". That is misleading and untrue - the most you should say is something on the lines of "Content is available under Public Domain unless otherwise stated at the head of the page."
If you copy articles which are marked for deletion here, you will get a lot of advertisements, self-promotion, things made up in school one day, garage bands still looking for a drummer and so on; if you want to host that sort of thing, that's up to you. But there are also personal attacks, of which we get a regrettable number. We work hard at filtering those out, and the New Page Patrol and the system by which a {{db-attack}} tag puts them in a high priority queue for admin attention mean that they are mostly gone within minutes; but a few survive longer and might be picked up by your skimming bot. If it is only taking articles tagged for PROD or AfD, that should not be a problem, but if it is taking articles from the speedy-deletion queue, I suggest you need to do either or both of the following: set your bot not to pick up anything tagged {{db-g10}} or {{db-atk}} or {{db-attack}}, or have your own New Page Patrol-type manual scan to weed out attack pages.
