Some reactions to welcome bot or welcomes are a little bit "exaggerated"
sometimes. it's just a small red color spot in a corner. Two seconds to process
it, more time to complain about it.
I study user activities and sometimes I leave welcome messages here and there.
99.5% of the time is because
I can estimate the number of welcomes I received to roughly 300, most of
these languages I cannot even copypaste from.
While these messages are useless for sure I don't see any reason to be
bothered of them.

Our World in Data has created 100s of heat maps with scroll bars for
adjusting the year. The maps as well as the underlying data is under an
open license.
Example include these https://ourworldindata.org/obesity/

So yes, technically it is a two minute work--allow ccby in commons data
namespace, but legal has to answer first if they want much more substantial
changes. I asked about a month ago for a clarification

sensible color schemes, mouseover info, and relying on freely licensed data

I've usually just don't bother with them, but lately I got complaints about
this specific bot, and the bot operator neglect doing anything with the
problem. That is why I raise the issue, as there are no other forum where
users from one project can make a complaint about misbehaving users on
