Oppose You started this bot without the approval of the community for which it was blocked. You also have indefinite blocks on Commons and ENWP for sock puppetry. As a CheckUser myself I cannot approve this. Cheers Scott Thomson (Faendalimas) talk 16:05, 24 September 2020 (UTC)- Oppose got to go with Scott. Andyboorman (talk) 16:17, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose sorry, but operator's history of socking means that, if this tasks should be carried out at all, I would prefer it done by someone else --DannyS712 (talk) 20:23, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose You have no editing history on Wikispecies. We have other bots capable of the above tasks. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:16, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
Strong oppose operator has a bad track record on two other projects, and this bot was started without approval (one of the fundamental things for a bot here on Wikimedia). People with no experience handling powerful machines shouldn't be handling them. Think of it this way: would you drive a car without a license? --Prahlad balaji (talk) 21:48, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
Denied. closing this is 7 days, this cannot succeed at this point. Will move it to its own Bots/Requests for approval page tomorrow. Scott Thomson (Faendalimas) talk 06:33, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
