ArchiveBot (Temporary Bot Admin)
In order to carry out the automatic archival of the ~3000 articles per recent discussion on WN:AAA, this bot needs the admin flag. This will be a temporary adminship - I do not expect the job to last any longer than 1 month. The alternative to adminising the bot is to use my user account for the process - which is *highly* undesirable as it will flood RC with the changes made, and ArchiveBot already has a bot flag.

 * . We grant users bureaucrat rights because we trust their judgement. I suggest a 'crat uses their discretion and immediately grants temp adminship to this bot account considering that we already trust this already trust this user with both a bot flag and admin rights so combining the two to complete a task which has received the support of the community per WN:AAA seems uncontroversial.
