Description Purodha Blissenbach 2011-08-19 17:13:27 UTC 
I operate a bot and received an invitation to the image-hiding poll
via its e-mail address, which is intentionally different from my
e-mail address as a bot owner.

Since bot owners are, but bot accounts should not be elegible to
vote under almost all circumstances if not always, all bots have
owners, and since duplicate notifications are a waste of ressources,
I suggest to avoid them.
Comment 1 Sam Reed (reedy) 2011-08-19 17:14:48 UTC 
Is it a flagged bot?
Comment 2 Dan Collins 2011-08-21 15:18:10 UTC 
Yes, however, it was asked that such incidents be reported here:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image_filter_referendum/Email/False_positives

Please go there and list the names of your bots that received emails. Closing due to incorrect venue
