[edit source]Policy states you must have the admin bit to get the admin bit for your bot CrimsonBlue (talk) 21:09, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
Denied. I'm afraid Crimson is correct, an admin bot being run by a non-admin is actually a reason to decline (please make sure you read the bot policy carefully before submitting requests). If you find an admin to run this, that may be acceptable, but you would need to not know the password to the admin account - Kingpin13 (talk) 21:41, 27 May 2010 (UTC)- The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate.
