+# Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct
+
+## Our Pledge
+
+In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as
+contributors and maintainers pledge to making participation in our project and
+our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
+size, disability, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, level of experience,
+nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and
+orientation.
+
+## Our Standards
+
+Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment
+include:
+
+* Using welcoming and inclusive language
+* Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences
+* Gracefully accepting constructive criticism
+* Focusing on what is best for the community
+* Showing empathy towards other community members
+
+Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:
+
+* The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual attention or
+advances
+* Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
+* Public or private harassment
+* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or electronic
+  address, without explicit permission
+* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
+  professional setting
+
+## Our Responsibilities
+
+Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable
+behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in
+response to any instances of unacceptable behavior.
+
+Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or
+reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions
+that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or
+permanently any contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate,
+threatening, offensive, or harmful.
+
+## Scope
+
+This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces
+when an individual is representing the project or its community. Examples of
+representing a project or community include using an official project e-mail
+address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
+representative at an online or offline event. Representation of a project may be
+further defined and clarified by project maintainers.
+
+## Enforcement
+
+Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
+reported by contacting the project team at ragesoss@gmail.com. All
+complaints will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response that
+is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances. The project team is
+obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an incident.
+Further details of specific enforcement policies may be posted separately.
+
+Project maintainers who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct in good
+faith may face temporary or permanent repercussions as determined by other
+members of the project's leadership.

+# WikipediaTwitterbot
+
+Gem for creating Twitter bots related to Wikipedia
+
+## Get Twitter API credentials
+
+Create a twitter account for your bot and then register an app, and put the credentials in twitter.yml:
+
+```
+twitter_consumer_key: ohai
+twitter_consumer_secret: kthxbai
+twitter_access_token: isee
+twitter_access_token_secret: whatyoudidthere
+```
+
+For more info, see https://github.com/sferik/twitter#configuration
+
+## Set up a database
+
+Use this gem to create an article database, via irb:
+
+```ruby
+require 'wikipedia_twitterbot'
+ArticleDatabase.create 'your_bot_name'
+```
+
+## Write your bot code
+
+Now you can write a bot. Here's what a basic one might look like:
+
+```ruby
+require 'wikipedia_twitterbot'
+Article.connect_to_database 'braggingvandalbot'
+
+class TrivialWikipediaBot
+  def self.tweet(article)
+    tweet_text = "#{article.title} is here: #{article.url}"
+    article.tweet tweet_text
+  end
+
+  # adds random articles to the database matching the given criteria
+  def self.find_articles
+    options = {
+      max_w10: 30,
+      min_views: 300
+    }
+    Article.import_at_random(options)
+  end
+end
+```
+
+`Article` provides both class methods for fetching and importing Wikipedia articles and metadata, and instance methods for supplying info about a particular article that you can use in tweets. See `article.rb` for more details.
+
+Make your but run by configuring cron jobs to import articles and tweet tweets about them.
+
+## License
+
+The gem is available as open source under the terms of the [MIT License](http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT).
+
+## Code of Conduct
+
+Everyone interacting in the WikipediaTwitterbot project’s codebases, issue trackers, chat rooms and mailing lists is expected to follow the [code of conduct](https://github.com/[USERNAME]/wikipedia_twitterbot/blob/master/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md).
