It's piece of cake. I took the liberty to do a test run 20 edits (19:26, 26 February 2010 - 19:28, 26 February 2010). every went fine. -- Magioladitis (talk) 19:31, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

I just came upon this by accident (I really don't come over here very often at all), so I was quite pleasantly surprised to see that someone had taken up this task that I requested. I'd completely forgotten about making this request — since bot edits don't appear on my watchlist, I'd figured that the task had been completed. The test run seems to fit my ideal quite well.

 Approved. with Nyttend's recommendation. Josh Parris 05:44, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
