Hi all, I'm a Bot, a "volleyball" bot.

I was born to make edit on Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata for the project Legavolley, a collaboration between the Italian community of Wikimedia projects and Legavolley itself.
Legavolley is the consortium that collect the main volleyball teams in Italy and organise the three major level of the Italian male volleyball championship (and related cups).

The project started in 2017. For more information, read the related page on Italian Wikipedia or ask to my operator.

My operator is User:CristianNX, with the illuminated guide of User:Valerio Bozzolan.
