user account is a
bot that uses
AutoWikiBrowser, operated by
Traveler100 (
talk). It is used to make repetitive
automated or
semi-automated edits that would be extremely tedious to do manually, in accordance with the
bot policy. This bot does not yet have the approval of the community, or approval has been withdrawn or expired, and therefore shouldn't be making edits that appear to be unassisted except in the operator's or its own user and user talk space. To stop this bot until restarted by the bot's owner, edit its talk page. If that page is a redirect, edit that original redirecting page, not the target of the redirect. Administrators: if this bot is making edits that appear to be unassisted to pages not in the operator's or its own userspace, please block it or remove from the approved accounts. |

There are a large number of requests for photographs some requests are currently in very large categories. For example Category:Plant articles needing photos has over 16,000 requests, Category:Rail transport articles needing images has over 7,000 requests and Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Italy has over 6000 requests. Other task such as moving contents of Category:WikiProject Cities articles needing photographs to the appropriate location photo request category; extracting USA, Germany and UK requests from Category:Wikipedia requested photographs of military history to more specific categories.
As these categories are so large no one is going to work through these lists. The size makes it difficult to uses tools such as FIST - Free Image Search Tool and Image checker
If these lists were split into smaller categories based on a specific topics it would increase the likelihood of someone addressing these requests. It would also make it easy to work through looking for fulfilled requests or images on other wiki sites.
This should be achieved by removing the need-photo=yes tag from the project template and adding the {{ Image requested}} template with appropriate classification or refining the current {{ Image requested}} parameter.
Use AWB automatic bot user in bot mode to
It will use as basis the source used for a number of years with Semi-automatic wiki browser but with options switched off to ensure edits are specific and restricted. And techniques developed with User:People-photo-bot and User:People-n-photo-bot.
Discussion for specific large moves will be made beforehand in the appropriate WikiProject pages.

This bot recently added an image needed tag at Commelina tuberosa, but the article already has a good image. You may want to make sure this error hasn't occurred elsewhere. DJLayton4 ( talk) 13:54, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
