[edit] Discussion

Assuming that every edit is CAREFULLY checked over (because RETF with AWB is nowhere near perfect), then Approved for trial. Try 100 edits or so. —METS501 (talk) 21:22, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Update: I've made a little more than 100 edits in the mainspace using TypoBot. -- Saaga 04:21, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Approved. Please also change the edit summary to "Manually assisted typo fixing..." to avoid any possible future confusion. —METS501 (talk) 04:18, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
