:Couple of notes, I had to fix the template on this page for this bot, and the userpage for this bot was a copy of [[User:VoABot II]]'s page with the username changed (see [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:DP_Bot&oldid=150771470]). [[User:Kesac|Kesac]] 15:54, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

I have blanked [[User:DP Bot]], except for {{tl|emergency-bot-shutoff}} and {{tl|bot}}, as a blatant GFDL violation (no attribution to Voice of All). I'm trying to [[WPWikipedia:AGF|assume good faith]] here and posit that the operator wants to "clone" VoABot II, an accepted practice, but given the malformed nature of this BRFA and the violation on the bot's user page, I'd say he's not qualified. &mdash;— <tt>[[User:Madman|madman]] [[User talk:Madman|bum and angel]]</tt> 16:51, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

::Would sound so. That and the user put in the discussion "This is a good bot." And didnt even sign it properly... [[User:Reedy Boy|Reedy Boy]] 20:51, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

:::It also doesnt have a bot flag as the entry suggested. Changed [[User:Reedy Boy|Reedy Boy]] 20:52, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

I think this user's heart is in the right place, but I've reviewed his contributions and he seems to have a fairly poor technical grasp of how the wiki works, even though he's working hard. This makes me a bit worried that he might not have yet what it needs to run a bot. &mdash;—&nbsp;[[User:Coren|Coren]]&nbsp;^{[[User Talk:Coren|(talk)]]} 22:45, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

:Could you please provide what framework or programming languages you are writing it in, and exactly how it will detect vandalism, and how it will know what titles are inappropriate? How will it handle moves that were appropriate, but to titles that would be considered inappropriate on other articles?

::Could you provide exact details of how it will do it?
