Approved for trial (50 edits). - Nothing more to say really Reedy Boy 18:45, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Just in time for me finishing coding :) - I'll have to wait until midnight when we are able to do deletions from the 26th. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs 18:52, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

God, time is so confusing.

Today's backlog (from the 25th) was done here using the same algorithm as is in the bot now, I just ran it on the 26th's backlog getting nothing but deletions, and I'll run it tomorrow night against the 27th. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs 22:16, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

{{OperatorAssistanceNeeded|D}} Will the bot add a notice that it's checked the category? Maxim 02:38, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

No - there's no need to. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 15:46, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Approved. —Reedy Boy 21:32, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
