Discussion[edit]

Will it add

== References ==

<references />

if that's missing? Josh Parris 12:16, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Currently, none of the articles to be edited lacks appropriate references markup. However, I will configure the bot to skip any articles in which the markup is missing. Andrea105 (talk) 16:13, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough, that will avoid the red cite warning at the bottom of the page. Josh Parris 23:55, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Two years ago or more, I added reference sections to all Ohio township articles, and as they're all on my watchlist, I know that none have been removed. Nyttend (talk) 15:31, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

[unindent] Sorry to bring this up so late; I just realised that many articles aren't in any of the formats that the bot will edit. Out of the seventeen Logan County townships, at least four (Bloomfield, Lake, Miami, and Stokes) say "Statewide, other ____ Townships" or "Statewide, the only other ____ Township".

I've amended the description of the bot's operation to include these possibilities; thank you for pointing them out :) Andrea105 (talk) 01:36, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not done MBisanz ^talk 03:57, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This bot was denied approval because it is the sockpuppet of a banned user. Josh Parris 06:33, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
