@Xaosflux: I was the one who "created" this BRFA, converting it from just "This is a proposed bot to be operated by MetricSupporter89." to the proper format (Special:Diff/888886905). --DannyS712 (talk) 01:31, 22 March 2019 (UTC)

This bot is going to be managed by me. The bot will contribute stub articles that may be too hard to contribute by human users, edit my user page to be like other users’ pages, revert vandalism, etc. Metric Supporter 89 (talk) 01:34, 22 March 2019 (UTC)

• This is a really bad idea. MetricSupport89 is under editing restrictions for disruptive conduct on units of measure and English language variants [1] with this response [2]. Their grasp of Wikipedia policy and editing procedures is suboptimal for regular editing, much less for operating a bot of the scope that is proposed. I've blocked the MetricSupport89Bot username - in the very unlikely event that a bot is approved it can be unblocked. Acroterion (talk) 02:02, 22 March 2019 (UTC)

Denied. the scope of this bot is both poorly defined, and overly broad. Additionally, the operator is not sufficiently experienced here to run such tasks, even if they were better defined. — xaosflux ^Talk 02:08, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
