Request Expired.
Operator: STTW
Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic
Programming Language(s): AWB
Function Summary: Posting newsletter to France and Germany WikiProject members and welcoming new members to the respective WikiProjects.
Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): Twice a month
Edit rate requested: 6 edits per minute
Already has a bot flag (Y/N): Y
Function Details: STTWbot has been tagging France and Germany WikiProject related articles since some time now. Now as the projects have grown, the bot would be used in distributing project newsletters, for example users in Category:WikiProject France members. Also in further expanding the project by welcoming/informing users from Category:User fr-N and Category:User de-N about the projects.
Discussion
[edit]I have no problem with the newsletter distribution; you can run a trial of that if you'd like. I do have a problem with spamming the talk pages of all users in Category:User fr-N and Category:User de-N though; yes, it would mean more exposure for the project, but very annoying. Also, bots to welcome new users have been denied in the past and as of now, will not be approved. —METS501 (talk) 21:58, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
- OK ! I have changed the bot request as per suggestions. STTW (talk) 09:29, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Approved for trial. Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Next time a newsletter needs distributing, try it out with the bot, and post back showing diffs. —METS501 (talk) 18:12, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

- Newsletter for Wikipedia:FR never really came through. We are now working on the next months newsletter for Wikipedia:GER, which would be delivered with the help of this bot. See talk page here. STTW (talk) 07:31, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Request Expired. If you would like to run this task at any point in the future, simply remove the archive tags and re-transclude this on the main page. —METS501 (talk) 03:06, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
