Discussion

As mentioned above, this is not a request for a bot flag, merely whatever kind of approval is needed for a semiautomatic bot.

Approved for trial (3 days). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Thanks for going through this process, it makes it official. Matt/TheFearow (Talk) (Contribs) (Bot) 01:43, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Speedily Approved. Since the bot has been running already, and it has nothing wrong, the trial is unnecessary. Matt/TheFearow (Talk) (Contribs) (Bot) 03:36, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
