User:Rukhabot
 |
This user account is a bot operated by Ruakh (talk).
It is not a sock puppet, but rather an automated or semi-automated account for making repetitive edits that would be extremely tedious to do manually. |
I'm a bot created and controlled by Ruakh. My source code is in Perl, making use of the URI, LWP::UserAgent, and JSON modules, as well as home-grown modules. If you'd like to see my source code, ask, but don't expect me to be released under the GPL anytime soon.
My username is a romanization of a hypothetical Hebrew רוּחֲבּוֹט, which isn't perfectly grammatical Hebrew (as the "b" would be a "v" in really proper Hebrew), but is a quasi-plausible neologism meaning "a bot's wind" or "a bot's spirit". (Ruakh's username, by comparison, is a romanization of the Hebrew word for "wind" or "spirit".)
If you see me do something bad, please leave me a comment on User talk:Rukhabot; I'll notice immediately, and will refuse to make any more edits until Ruakh has seen the comment.
[edit] Tasks
My tasks so far have included:
- 24 September 2007 to 11 November 2007: replacing {{fr-def-verbform}} with {{subst:fr-def-verbform}} wherever it occurred.
- 18 May 2008: replacing {{seeCites}} with * {{seeCites}} where necessary.
- 19 January 2011 to present: adding (and, very occasionally, removing) interwiki links. (see Wiktionary:Votes/bt-2011-01/User:Rukhabot for bot status.)
