Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Eubot 2
{{Newbot|Eubot}} Operator: Eugene van der Pijll Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic Programming Language(s): Perl (custom written) Function Summary: Updating info on Dutch municipalities and settlements Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): one time run Edit rate requested: 2 edits per minute Already has a bot flag (Y/N): Y Function Details: I have two databases with useful information on Dutch localities. First of all, I have an update for the number of inhabitants in 2006 for all municipalities. Most of the articles have the 2005 statistics in the infobox (see e.g. Amersfoort); Eubot will update the infoboxes, and at the same time add the source of the information to the infobox. Also, I have a list of coordinates of almost all coordinates of Dutch settlements, which is more accurate than the coordinates at most articles now. Almost all coordinates are rounded to the nearest minute; this corresponds to a few kilometers on the ground. My coordinates are about a factor 10 times as accurate; this is especially useful when the coordinates are extracted from wikipedia and used in e.g. [http://www.webkuehn.de/hobbys/wikipedia/geokoordinaten/index.htm Google Earth]; the current coordinates in wikipedia generally miss the settlements by some distance; mine do not. I will only replace the coordinates if a coordinates template is already available in the article, and if the new coordinates are within a reasonable distance (~5 km) of the old ones. :20px Task approved.
