Operator: RonaldB-nl, admin on a.o. nl:w: (home wiki)

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic

Programming Language(s): VB6 + SQLserver running on own server

Function Summary: Reports any edit by an open proxy known in user's database. See here for further background info.

Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): 7/24

Edit rate requested: depends on occurence of open proxy edits, experience so far: < 100 per day, see [1] as an example of a typical day.

Already has a bot flag (Y/N): N - Note: w/o bot flag, it might be easier for vandalism fighters to note the occurence of a suspicious edit in e.g. the rc list.

Function Details: The bot only updates Wikipedia:Open proxy detection. This procedure is in operation on nl: since january 2007, added a few major languages on 3 July and was invited by some smaller languages to help them out as well. See iw links.

This process was interrupted by this block.
