Information edit

This is the user page for Good Article Patrol Bot, a robot that periodically checks and modifies usage of {{Good article}}, a template that displays   at the top of Good articles. If the bot encounters a Good article that does not use the template, it adds it; and if the bot encounters a non-Good article that has the template, it removes it. The bot uses Category:Wikipedia good articles to find actual Good articles; this is the true Master list of Good articles since it is populated by transclusions of {{GA}}, which is always added to the talk pages of Good articles.

A detailed description of how the bot does this is available at this page.
