 | This user account is a bot operated by CapitalR (talk). It is used to make repetitive automated or semi-automated edits that would be extremely tedious to do manually, in accordance with the bot policy. This bot does not yet have the approval of the community, or approval has been withdrawn or expired, and therefore shouldn't be making edits that appear to be unassisted except in the operator's or its own user and user talk space. Administrators: if this bot is making edits that appear to be unassisted to pages not in the operator's or its own userspace, please block it. |
CapitalBot moves through all cities/towns/villages/etc in the United States and adds or updates {{Infobox Settlement}} using information from government databases. It is a manually-assisted bot, meaning that all edits are checked by its operator before saving. It is written in C# as a module for WP:AWB and operates here and there for a few hours at a time. Please post any problems or questions with this bot at the bot operator's talk page (User talk:CapitalR).
I would be happy to share the database with anyone interested (but you will need to be able to give me a location to upload it to, as it's about 50MB and I don't have a site that I can host it on).
