[edit] Discussion

Good task, I support bot-created voices. I also support the high edit rate, 10k pages are many and the high edit rate will help. Anyway, 1k minutes means over 40 hours, not two. Snowolf ^(talk) _CON ^COI - 00:10, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Very interesting. Approved for trial. Create 10 articles, and we can check them out. —METS501 (talk) 00:19, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
