BAG Nomination: SD0001

SD0001 (talk · contribs · count · logs · page moves · block log · edit summaries)

Nominating myself for BAG membership as I'd like to help out more in this area. While there are good reasons for BRFA being slower than the average process given the potential for disruption, I think faster service here can inspire more creative automation ideas to be brought forward.

I want to bring to BAG my broad expertise with tools and technologies used in bot-building – eg. I'd be a good one to tell whether something is better done using the API or the database dumps or database queries. I have been taking a keen interest in bot requests and approvals for some time. I love to read and write code, and have worked with Python, JavaScript, C++ and Java, and have reading familiarity with other common bot languages like PHP and C#.

I run SDZeroBot whose favourite task is compiling a popular collection of reports that has brought me a number of barnstars! I'm more proud of writing its underlying framework – a rich JS bot framework and the only one out there that also works with TypeScript – a promising new language that's fast becoming popular. My other technical work on WP includes writing user scripts, improving gadgets, and helping out at VPT. I am a major contributor to Twinkle and am also working on a funded project to expand it to other wikis.

I am familiar with WP:BOTPOL and WP:BAGG, and understand that consensus is an essential requirement for bot tasks. Thanks for your consideration! – SD0001 (talk) 17:01, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
