User:Walled gardener for bot status

 * Nomination: I hereby request the Bot flag for User:Walled gardener for the following purpose:
 * Batch uploads, using Pywikipedia, of groups of files prepared locally. Uploads will chiefly be to project or user space (though it is conceivable that there might be some article-space applications).  See this test batch, and various previous batches processed under my own account.

 * I was thinking specifically of the Hangul syllable entries (the ones with no actual meaning), if we could ever reach consensus on what they should look like. That seems, alas, rather unlikely.  In any case, I would happily consent to a second vote for any such cases, if they do actually arise. -- Visviva 16:32, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Oppose

 * [[Image:Symbol oppose vote.svg|20px]] Oppose Raz<b style="color:#808080">or</b><b style="color:#696969">fl</b><b style="color:#808080">ame</b> 06:50, 9 March 2009 (UTC) The username in question does not clearly state that it is a bot. Please fix this before I can support this request for bot status. Cheers!
 * Hmm... wasn't aware this was a requirement on Wiktionary. Is there a policy I've missed?  -- Visviva 09:22, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
 * It's bot policy in general. Nearly everyone that runs a bot uses an account that clearly states that it is a bot account.  Cheers, <b style="color:#000">Ra</b><b style="color:#696969">z</b><b style="color:#808080">or</b><b style="color:#696969">fl</b><b style="color:#808080">ame</b> 14:47, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
 * As we have User:Interwicket it's obviously not strict policy. I don't see any reason why the name of the bot matters - and, if we do have something in WT:BOT (another of those imported policies that needs rewriting) it should be removed. Any changes a bot makes are marked with b so it's trivial to distinguish them. Conrad.Irwin 14:58, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
 * AF, too.—msh210 ℠  16:03, 9 March 2009 (UTC)


 * 1) [[Image:Symbol oppose vote.svg|20px]] Oppose - I have no problem with the function (though a human could do it just as well, marking the articles as minor to avoid RC clutter) as the name does not state it is a bot, and does not imply either its function or its owner. SemperBlotto 09:27, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I thought it would be self-evident that it was a bot for uploading walled gardens of a sort, like User:Visviva/Tracking and its children. But maybe not; we didn't even have the walled garden entry until just now, and its meaning is less clear-cut than I had thought. :-o -- Visviva 16:00, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Passed, 8-1. --Neskaya kanetsv  21:04, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
