• Chris G, could you post to this page, please, to confirm that you are indeed this bot's operator? — Madman bum and angel (talk – desk) 02:36, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Yup I'm the bot op also take a look here. --Chris ^g 03:06, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Cool; thanks. Otherwise, the routine looks good; I'd like to see the source code, but a trial will do. — Madman bum and angel (talk – desk) 03:26, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

{{BAGAssistanceNeeded}} Ok I've Completed the source code can I have a trial run? --Chris ^g 11:09, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Go ahead and trial for up to a week, let us know how it goes here. — xaosflux ^Talk 05:27, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

To use the proper template, Approved for trial (7 days). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Any news? Matt/TheFearow (Talk) (Contribs) (Bot) 08:23, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Nevermind, I misread the date. Any more bugs, or can I approve this? {{OperatorAssistanceNeeded}} Matt/TheFearow (Talk) (Contribs) (Bot) 08:24, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

I got all the bugs out so you can approve. --Chris ^g 10:12, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Are you sure? You had to fix the last bot edit. ~ Wikihermit 17:15, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

The trial was for seven days, and I think you should continue it. It looks like you had a very rocky development process, and as you had to fix the bot's last edit, I don't know that the bugs are out. Approved for trial. Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete., for seven days more. The burden of proof is on you to prove that the bot is harmless and useful. — madman bum and angel 17:17, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

(Sorry if I'm not meant to post here) Would it be possible to include a wikilink in the bot's edit summary? I'd find that convenient. Thanks either way, Giggy ^{Talk | Review} 01:46, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

I agree. --Boricuaeddie 01:24, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

{{OperatorAssistanceNeeded}} Do you have any more remaining bugs (that you know of), or is this ready to approve? Matt/TheFearow (Talk) (Contribs) (Bot) 22:02, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

All done! You may now aprove -- Chris G  talk  10:33, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

 Approved. Matt/TheFearow (Talk) (Contribs) (Bot) 23:30, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
