User:SwimBot for bot status

• Nomination: I hereby request the Bot flag for User:SwimBot for the following purposes:

  Add conjugated forms of Spanish verbs. Although there is another bot proposal for the same thing, I feel my bot could still be useful since it will focus on regularly conjugated verbs.

  Example entries: soplar, impeler

  Bot code: None, uses Microsoft Excel to generate text files and the Python Wikipedia framework to import the articles.

I'd like to end this vote- too many issues and it's obvious I'm in over my head. 1 bot to add forms is enough. Nadando 01:32, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Support

1. Support Matthias Buchmeier 10:01, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
2. Support Conrad.Irwin 17:53, 29 September 2008 (UTC) We should really think of a better way of doing these than having everyone writing their own solutions to this problem though.

Oppose

1. Oppose —Stephen 00:50, 23 September 2008 (UTC) I think it is a mistake to call soplado, soplando or other participles verbs. Participles are made from verbs, but they are adjectives, adverbs, and sometimes nouns. It is best to call them participles. I have never heard of them being called verbs.

   Ah, I see what you mean now. It would just be making more work for other people if I were to create them now. Until there is an agreed upon format for Spanish participles, I will not create them. Nadando 01:14, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

2. Oppose EncycloPetey 17:59, 29 September 2008 (UTC) For two reasons: (1) You have not staisfactorily explaned the bot functioning as required by WT:BOT, and (2) some pages like (deprecated template usage) impela have inconsistent formatting. Both of these problems are solveable. --EncycloPetey 17:59, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
