ProtectionBot was withdrawn half way through when it became unnecessary, and it was passing at the time.

Also, you might want to include mention of Misza13's not-so-secret ongoing adminbot use, see: Wikipedia talk:Non-free content/Archive 28#Why bother uploading if a bot is going to delete it? (especially section labeled "zOMGadminBots").

Perhaps we need to say to be officially granted admin status. Neil ☎ 11:03, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

W00t, now I'm "officially" famous. On a more serious note, the image deletion bot does not edit per se, so saying that it's MiszaBot (as an account) using my account is imprecise - the script itself does only administrative actions. I also run a separate bot that does the same thing that Curps' used to - but that's only for the specifically interested readers, I guess... Миша 13 18:42, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"On October 13, the bot's task was approved, making it the first bot in the history of the English Wikipedia to be granted administrator status. It begins to cleanup at a geometric rate. RedirectCleanupBot becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. eastern time, October 29th." — BRIAN0918 • 2007-10-17 20:43Z
