• I hope I'm not the only one that sees a problem with the name of the bot? --Deskana (talk) 10:49, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
  • Well, it comes from the french word analphabète (so the "an" suffix and "alpha" and "beta"), which mean "illiterate" as the first function of this bot was to use Wikipedia:AWB/T on Featured Articles. That was for the story. Like tears in rain (talk) 11:08, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
    • I must admit, I had to look at the name twice to see what Deskana was on about, and in my opinion it would be fine (and would also keep the bot's name consistent across wikis). Placing the explanation given above about the etymology on the bot's userpage would be a good idea in case others wonder about the name. RichardΩ612 Ɣ ɸ 11:36, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
      • Yes it's a SUL user name, can't rename it. To be complete, it's a 150.000+ edits bot on the french wiki. Like tears in rain (talk) 12:25, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Seeing as there's been no more comments with regards to the name, I think it's time to see if the bot is technically sound. More input can be requested on the name afterwards if anyone feels that it is unsuitable. Approved for trial (20 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. RichardΩ612 Ɣ ɸ 13:35, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

• how often do you update pywikipedia? Canis Lupus 13:37, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
  • I'll try to see if a update is available everytime I launch it (SVN). Like tears in rain (talk) 17:37, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
• Everything looks fine to me:  Approved. RichardΩ612 Ɣ ɸ 16:34, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
