Thank you, but unfortunately, the owner of that bot declines to do so. I have asked again [1].
Also, it's worth noting that, inexplicably, there is a small but vocal group of editors who resist anything to do with infoboxes, coordinates, microformats or metadata - sure to be a problem for this project, as it progresses. For example, this RfC [2] (you might find it informative to compare the debate, especially my post, to the closing admin's summary). Other relevant URLs also supplied [3], including a debate which is live now [4]. I'd be happy to hear suggestions as to how to improve matters.
