Discussion

I intended to leave this open for at least a week to give editors a chance to evaluate the new operator; I don't think they'll be any objection to the continuing functioning of the bot. Josh Parris 00:52, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Fair enough, thanks Josh.--Paul (talk) 10:20, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

I have no problems with this. Old operator agrees to change, new operator appears to know what they're doing. Just my 2¢. — The Earwig ^(talk) 21:14, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Second Earwig, I give a thumbs up for trial Josh. Tim1357 (talk) 11:15, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

K, its been a week. Approved for trial (30 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete.. Good luck! Tim1357 (talk) 23:02, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

Tim, I don't think a trial is appropriate. The application is essentially to hand over operational responsibility. There's been no change to the code, nor task. And it hasn't been a week. Josh Parris 12:09, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Agreeing that a trial is not necessary. This is the same code, right? The actual execution of the bot probably won't be problematic; it's the operator that this BRFA is really about. At any rate, Josh, do you think we can approve this relatively soon? It's almost been a week (in a few hours, literally), and besides the few BAG members who have bothered to look at this, nobody has commented. — The Earwig ^(talk) 22:42, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Nope, the code hasn't changed. Other than dropping in the exclusion compliance.--Paul (talk) 00:06, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

 Approved. It seems the opposition has been convincingly out-argued. Please place a note on the bot's user page about the change in operator. Josh Parris 11:40, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
