User:WarddrBOT for bot status

 * Nomination: I hereby request the Bot flag for User:warddrBOT for the following purposes:
 * Interwiki
 * I have a total of 30.000 bot edits at wikipedia, most of them are interwiki.
 * Warddr (talk) 02:58, 13 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Vote ends: 23:59 20 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Vote started: 13:22, 13 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Discussion:

Support

 * 1) [[Image:Symbol support vote.svg|20px]] Support --Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 06:22, 15 April 2012 (UTC) The bot seems to be doing its job successfully, so I'll support this until told otherwise.
 * Good point, opposers. The only reason I'm not changing my vote is because it looks like the vote will fail anyway, and there's still a chance that Warddr will add the info. --Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 13:41, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) [[Image:Symbol support vote.svg|20px]] Support Equinox ◑ 15:32, 20 April 2012 (UTC) Assuming that we need this &mdash; I know User:Interwicket doesn't run any more. Equinox ◑ 15:32, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

 * 1) [[Image:Symbol support vote.svg|20px]] (late) Support, because it is helpful to have several bots adding interwikis, and the only concern the oppose voters have seems to be that we already have interwiki bots. - -sche (discuss) 01:09, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Oppose

 * [[Image:Symbol oppose vote.svg|20px]] Oppose per the nonanswer on the talkpage. I'll gladly change my vote if an acceptable answer's posted. &#x200b;—msh210℠ (talk) 19:41, 19 April 2012 (UTC) Rescinded my opposition per the answers on the talkpage. Still not supporting, as I have no particular reason to think this bot is necessary (can anyone confirm one way or the other?), considering that Luckas-bot and VolkovBot both do interwiki. &#x200b;—msh210℠ (talk) 16:15, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Symbol oppose vote.svg|20px]] Oppose. Same reason, bot owners need to be able to communicate with the rest of the community, even interwiki bots where the tasks *ought to be* straightforward. Mglovesfun (talk) 20:04, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I answered on the talk page of this page. If you contact me on my talkpage you can reach me very quick (this answer is written little over an hour after a question on my (Dutch) talk page) - Warddr (talk) 14:53, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

Decision
This messy vote seems to have been (officially) closed when the votes were at 2-0-0, so I believe that it passes. I will unblock the bot account, but we need a 'crat to grant bot privileges and notify Warddr at nl.wikt. --Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 01:10, 6 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Flag granted. —Stephen (Talk) 05:29, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
