This
user account is a
bot that uses
C# &
AWB, that uses
AutoWikiBrowser, operated by
Tom.Reding (
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. The bot is approved and currently active – the relevant
request for approval can be seen
here. 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 continues causing harm after receiving a message, please block it or remove from the approved accounts. |

. The edit summary for Task 6 reads "Task 6" but links to Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Tom.Bot 5. -- Michael Bednarek ( talk) 05:46, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
Seems like the bot is just adding authority control to lots of articles, with no useful links being added to them. E.g. Angeline Murimirwa, Jitse Groen, Vashi Domínguez. None of these changes added any links, so why is the bot running to make pointless, effectively null edits to these pages? Joseph 2302 ( talk) 15:06, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
Dear Tom.Reding. I noted recent interesting and useful edits on the article Frederick Hamilton (soldier) by Tom.Bot. The edit summary was "Task 6: + ...". I have no opinion about authority control, but I noted with interest that {{infobox person}} became {{Infobox person}} and {{clear}} became {{Clear}}. However many others like {{circa|...}} and {{efn|...}} stayed unchanged. Is Tom.Bot going to settle the way how we capitalise template names? It would be a good thing. MOS always says yes and no, but bots seem nowadays to make the decisions. Somebody needs to. With many thanks, Johannes Schade ( talk) 08:39, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
