This bot does not yet have the approval of the community, or approval has been withdrawn or expired, and therefore shouldn't be making edits that appear to be unassisted except in the operator's or its own user and user talk space.

I'm uploading the lists of generated articles at Wikipedia:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles/Antarctica (for the discussion/suggestions, see also its talk page Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles/Antarctica).

Adding articles on Dutch villages/towns/hamlets.

Updates on Dutch municipalities, including conversion to {{Infobox city}} format; bot approval at Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Eubot 2.
October/November 2007
Creating redirects from scientific synonyms. See User:Eubot/Redirecting synonyms.

Future
- Revisiting the Dutch town/village articles: changing town to village; increasing accuracy of coordinates; adding region:NL to coordinates (to increase the usefulness of these excellent Google Earth files).
- Adding French municipalities
- I also propose that the bot also covers Spanish municipalities. IN many provinces these a hardly covered. Once Italy is done and dusted of course. Spanish wiki has data. Ernst Stavro Blofeld 10:48, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
- Seeing the great work you are doing with the tree of life infoboxes, could the bot remove |map_type from {{Infobox UK place}}, except where "|map_type = UK"? In all other cases, it is redundant, and might conflict with future uses of the field. Warofdreams talk 11:37, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
