4. Will add a "Copied from XXX by Femto Bot (possibly the smallest bot in the world)" message to the section on my talk page.

• Note: this will not affect the stop functionality of SmackBot - see User:SmackBot/What the stop button does.

Discussion

Fairly clearly since SmackBot is really the only active bot of mine at the moment - well the long moment - this is where the work will be. If the functionality was wanted by others I would shift it to a different bot - Femto is meant to be low activity. Rich Farmbrough, 00:03, 2 October 2010 (UTC).
