bot's edit log: https://sv.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Logg/Lsjb...

a few articles randomly picked out of the latest 1000:
https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urochloa_plantaginea
https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brachiaria_vittata
https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eutriana_repens
https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andropogon_decipiens

thousands of articles here that read "X is a species of grass. It got its name from Y and is described in Z catalog."

Looks like they pulled his articles?  I'd love to see an English example.  A quality bot would be a hell of a tool.

My mistake, it looks like the articles are just very thin -- not really what I was expecting.
Here's a thread on the topic:

Yeah, very thin. The fact that a bot made news was what impressed me more than the bot itself.  And, well, what's happened to wikipedia?  I genned a whole lot better quality crap than that and they banned me for a few dozen links.

Tsk. Losing your touch.

It was almost 2 decades ago.  I will say that Jimmy Wales himself had to decide the issue (bastard!) ...my stuff was pretty good (for that era) and a good number of the wiki disciples thought I should be included.
