Discussion

I worry about the bot owner's technical competency. Bots can be very confusing and Wikipedia pages contain a lot of corner cases. Additionally, the "DI files" already automatically categorize themselves for deletion, so there's no need for bot work, as far as I'm aware. I'd be more inclined to see all of this work done manually under the user's main account. It makes thing much easier to track and monitor. --MZMcBride (talk) 03:31, 24 June 2009 (UTC) Withdrawn by operator.
