The main problem with moving images using bot is
it's blindness...
Mentioned user copied some copyvios from pt.wiki licensed as CC-BY-SA
because he didn't watch those images, but probably simple move images
using linked to license template :(
And this thing I want you to remember:
Never, never, never do this!
We had 2-3 months ago same problem with move of PD images from fr.wiki
- wrong PD template (deprecated {{PD}}), no categories, galleries,
lots of duplicates of images that were already on commons with other
names, overwriting existing images with unrelated content with same
name ...
Bot is good and nice toy, but it's very dangerous in unexperienced hands...
That's a good point: did they get approval to use the bot? If not, why
weren't they blocked for running an unauthorised bot?
