Discussion
editRiley suggested that I post my comment here that it was mentioned on the Proposals page that (if possible), we should exclude Category:Defunct organizations, being that those are not likely to have COI editors involved. CorporateM (Talk) 21:05, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- For safety reasons, I only plan on running this bot in categories I have looked over but either way, I will make sure not to run the bot on Category:Defunct organizations. -- Cheers, Riley 00:07, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
