Discussion

What do you mean "in conjuction with"? Additionaly, were are you populating the starting list from?Voice-of-All 23:39, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I meant that both Ganeshk and myself will be doing the same task with our respective bots. The starting list will be populated from any articles that fall under Category:India or its sub categories. -- Lost^(talk) 02:19, 13 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I dont think we need two bots for this task I know from experiance that this can be done rather quickly with one bot and can be kept up to date very easly. I would move to reject this bot, no offence ment but one bot can handle this task. Betacommand ^{(talk • contribs • Bot)} 03:04, 13 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Both of us are not likely to be online all the time and the number of articles is quite large. (I am looking for a tool that gives me the exact number of articles in a category and all its subcategories. If you know of one, please guide me to it). So we would like to share the load amongst ourselves. That is the purpose of this request. -- Lost^(talk) 03:20, 13 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
