Presentation on bot-generated articles

Hi Joopwiki

In October there will be a convention of Wikipedians from German Wikipedia in Cologne: WikiCon 2014.

On WikiCon I want to give a talk on the history of bot-generated articles in the multi-language Wikipedia. In this presentation I want to give an overview on projects with bot-generated articles, on specific discussions, on pro and contra arguments, and on future perspectives, which are discussed.

Unfortunately I don’t speak Dutch, so I want to ask you if you could answer me some questions on bot-generated articles in Dutch Wikipedia.

My questions are:

• When did discussions on bot-generated articles start in Dutch Wikipedia?
• Have there been controversial discussions?
• What where the arguments for bot-generated articles?
• What where the most important arguments against it?
• Have there been votes on bot-generated articles?
• Has there been something like a test phase?
• What were the reactions on the test articles?
• How did the discussions developed over the years?
• What are the opinions today?
• Are there plans to generate other articles after finishing the animal and plant project?

It would be also very helpful for me if you could give me some links to the most important discussions on nl:wp. Perhaps I can understand some discussions with a little help from Google translate :-).

Thank you very much and best regards.

Holder, as per Michiel1972. Quite often the discussion was about the content of the bot-generated artikele, although this content is exactly the same as the non bot-genarated ones. Test for the animals were done within the animal wikiproject.Joopwiki (overleg) 19 aug 2014 21:03 (CEST)
