>... what does this post have to do with wikis? FRSbot is a very prominent bot on Wikipedia crucial to obtaining neutral feedback for less-prominent RFCs, but it doesn't work the way people think it does, or the way it's authors have implied it does, or the way it should if it was going to be neutral.
Take a look at its code and see how it distributes requests. They aren't automated, just automatically prepared for a completely obscured step requiring manual intervention which, in my opinion, gives the person doing that manual step a whole lot more power over the controversies in the encyclopedia than any other role. Who actually does that manual distribution step? Legotkm or James Hare? _______________________________________________ Wiki-research-l mailing list Wiki-research-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wiki-research-l
