Is this a bot? Can it be done in either the bots or tools project?

I think it's not only a bots or tools. The using in request is only a example. I think we can perform various data analysis to find the similarities. For example, analysis on ad article can help us find the characteristic of it. The result can help us with tools and bots programming:)

What are ad articles? Also, how would something like this work? Does it need replicated database access? Does it use the API? Does it store data in a database?--Ryan Lane (talk) 22:10, 12 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
I will select AD(advertisement) articles from the deletion log(ask for a admin)or Category:Candidates for speedy deletion(CSD). It will need a database like mysql, to collect the statistical results of every words. It will use MediaWiki API.

Ah, yeah. I think this is a very good candidate to go into the tools project. The tools project has a lot of environment already set up, so it's easy to use, and it's also easier to share your database with other bots, if necessary.--Ryan Lane (talk) 00:37, 13 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
