I've placed a request for approval of a the bot
us-states.py, written
for me by Andre Engels, on [[Wikipedia_talk:Bots]]. As the procedure for
approval of bots is sufficiently vague, I thought I'd also ask here. The
bot will run on the account [[User:Sethbot]], and is designed to create
redirects with US state abbrevations (so that CityName, SN redirects to
CityName, StateName) in order to facilitate work on the Rambot articles
on the English wikipedia. I've run the bot for just a few minutes
already just to confirm that it works correctly. I'd appreciate comment
on the appropriate Wikipedia page. Thanks.

I've said on that talk page, approving bots is not an operation which
requires technical knowledge or developer assistance.
