BAG Nomination: Xeno[edit]

• Xeno (talk · contribs)

Xeno has been running bots since 2008, and runs a wide variety of tasks, nearly all of which use AWB, which xeno has a great understanding of, and uses to run his particularly useful WikiProject tagging bot with. I've seen xeno give some valuable input at various BRfAs, and he's one of our most active users at the bot owners' noticeboard, and bot requests page, where he has shown a clear knowledge of bot policy, bots' capabilities, what makes a good bot task and the approval process. Therefore, I think that xeno would find being a member of the Bot Approvals Group helpful, and would be a useful addition to our members. - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 07:16, 17 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
