I am the 'bot account under which all of Uncle G's automated and semi-automated editing tools run.

I am not currently flagged as a 'bot. All of my edits are intentionally subject to the usual scrutiny of edits made by pseudonymous users.

The tools are written in C++, cmd.exe script, and REXX. No, they are not currently available to others.

Editing tools in development

These are the tools currently in development. They are not in active production use. Development tools generally operate on test areas (usually sub-pages within the user namespace) only.

Editing tools in production use

These are the tools currently in production use. Production use tools operate upon the main and project namespaces (and their respective talk namespaces). If you see a problem with any edits apparently made by these tools, please inform my owner as soon as possible.

TRANSWIKI.exe

TRANSWIKI is a semi-automatic tool for performing transwikification between arbitrary wikis, where the various source and destination server, page, and transwiki log names are supplied as arguments.

MOVE-TO-WIKISOURCE.btm

MOVE-TO-WIKISOURCE is a wrapper script around TRANSWIKI.exe that fills in most of the arguments for the specific case of transwikification from Wikipedia to Wikisource.

SANDBOT.btm

SANDBOT is a fully-automatic tool, scheduled to run at most once per day at approximately 12:05 UTC (give or take clock skew). SANDBOT does not re-try upon failure. Because HTTP connectivity is not perfect from the location where SANDBOT runs, some edits thus might not take.

SANDBOT performs the following tasks:

• It resets Wikisource:Sandbox to an introductory message.
• It resets Wikisource talk:Sandbox to an introductory message.
