+%Concerns
+To wrap up, people have been long sceptical (and some still are) about the employment of fully automated agents such as bots within Wikipedia. %TODO that's not exactly wrapping up..
+Above all, there is a fear of bots (above all syn such with admin permissions) running rampant and their operators not reacting fast enough to prevent the damage.
+This led to the social understanding that ``bots ought to be better behaved than people''~\cite{Geiger2011} which still plays a crucial role in bot development today.
