Jay, one comment,

What differentiate a bot from a regular admin is that what a bot does is 
not visible in recent changes. But a bot can not do anything more than a 
regular editor. In particular, it can not delete article, unless it is 
an admin as well (it is not the case I think).

If you wish to see the bot activity, type : 
http://ia.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Recentchanges&hidebots=0
(caused me troubles to find this link, add it on your recent changes cap 
if you are worried)

Mark, please stop shouting. And stop putting so many !
