The point is, the proper response to a deletion is situation-dependent. Having a bot make the fix is therefore a bad solution. I'm surprised that hasn't been evident before now. Jimbo shouldn't be blamed for the actions of CommonsDelinkerBot. For those particular deletions in which he exercised poor judgment, sure. For wheel-warring over some of those instances, absolutely. But ultimately, his actions (as opposed to the actions which were caused by the maintainer of CommonsDelinkerBot), are easily undone, at least from a technical standpoint. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
