Looks sane. Approved for trial (10 edits or 3 days). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete.. MaxSem^{(Han shot first!)} 17:33, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

I don't see anything in the code to deal with "(2nd nomination)" this is one of the problems with my bot, which is why I try only to run it when I'm around(my internet has been playing up so this was nice timing!) you really should deal with this because with the bot running every 1/2 hour it will get very annoying for the poor person who has to clean up after it! Yet again I'm not a python programmer so I may have missed something but I don't see anything like

if $text =~ "(foo nomination)"

in there --Chris 12:19, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Yeah thanks Chris, after uploading the source I read the talk page and have fixed that problem. I will try and update the source soon. -- maelgwn - talk 13:11, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Well the trial is basically done. See [1] . They were a few updates part way through that caused errors when testing, but these are all fixed. -- maelgwn - talk 10:50, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

I see nothing wrong here  Approved. --Chris 08:38, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
