Bot status requests

[email protected]

Hi, can you give me bot flag for my bots on rowiki? We are in a deadlock and i can't receive wanted status. Our local policies for bot approval says that each discussion for each bot request lasts 7 days. I posted two requests: the first one - for this bot was on 24 october 2013. And no decision was taken until now. The second request (see below) i posted on 30 december 2013. And also no decision was taken. On 4 or 5 january, at our local "village pump" i posted an invitation for editors to make public their opinion for these cases. And, for both requests i obtained by one positive vote. Also one editor asked "for what i need 2 bots?". I explained, and will explain here too. XXN-bot will run on standard AWB soft, just for easy tasks as recategorisation, adding and removing of templates and so on. The second bot, X-bot (from request below) will run on Pywikibot framework, and on this account i will mass create articles (mainly geographical). As I have no one negative vote, i ask you to grant bot statuses for these accounts. Thanks.
Update; i already have more than 100 test edits on this account (AWB), and few test articles created with the second account. --XXN (talk) 17:41, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

Please contact the local bureaucrats. --MF-W 22:36, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
@MF-Warburg: I already contacted one of them 3 days ago. And he said ”IMO there are not enough opinions voiced”. Probably he is right - by one vote for each request is little insufficiently. That's why I posted here. This is an impasse. Also he asked for more details and for test edits by both bots. Details - explained and test edits/new articles done and presented (you can find three links at the end of my reply). --XXN (talk) 00:24, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
Sorry, we can not override the decision of a local bureaucrat. Ruslik (talk) 18:33, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
Yes you can! If not - then close meta as being a useless project. And, that's not a decision. He wrote "...in my opinion...". And this discussion was on a private talk page. Let's judge clearly: i wait more than 2½ months for a decision what must taken in 7 days. How long i have to wait yet? Another month? Or maybe 2, 3 or 4 months? I am human... One day i will die, and it will be EPIC if they will grant bot status after my death.
Wikipedia it's sooo bureaucratic system. Probaly it would have been better if on each project exists an "super-admin" paid by wikimedia foundation, who will be jointly interested to develop that project, ~every day working on it, managing and solving problematic cases.
I'm disappointed. Adios Amigos! // XXN (talk) 21:21, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
Stewards are there for doing stuff which local users cannot do. There is a difference between no bureaucrat being active and no bureaucrat being willing to fulfill your request. If local users think it's better for their project to not give you a bot flag, that is their responsibility (and also their "problem" if they lose your contributions). --MF-W 08:13, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

Hello. I ask to appropriate Bot's flag, for execution of routine works in tg.wiki. I address to you because at us there is nobody to vote and demands remain unaddressed.--AryanSogd 11:27, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

Please, start a local discussion. Ruslik (talk) 19:42, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
  • I already submitted an application in local discussion. Passed 4 days and not what reaction as active participants are I and one more person who isn't familiar with technical questions. My demand for the status of the administrator remains unaddressed more than 20 days. Therefore I addressed to you.--AryanSogd 20:10, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
What kinds of works the bot is going to do? Ruslik (talk) 19:19, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
