[edit] Discussion

I'd just like to mention that this will not be another delivery-only bot. User:GeorgeMoney is digging out the PHP and then I will do those tasks too, I just decided to start on something simple...... Dendodge .. Talk^Help 19:56, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Approved for trial (50 edits). for the Newsletter delivery feature using the standard AWB implementation only. Other tasks or programming codes will require amended or separate BRFAs. MBisanz ^talk 21:08, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

OK, I'm just waiting for AWB approval now...... Dendodge .. Talk^Help 21:11, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

No I haven't, I need to enter a CAPTCHA because the newsletter contains external links - I'll wait 4 days...... Dendodge .. Talk^Help 21:27, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

OK, now I've Y Done this month's delivery (I had to make 10 null edits to get autoconfirmed status)...... Dendodge .. Talk^Help 13:37, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Just thought I'd mention that I'm coding some VB, but it'll be a while before I get that sorted...... Dendodge .. Talk^Help 22:06, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

{{BAGAssistanceNeeded}} I've manually checked the bot's edits and no errors were found. I propose this request is approved. BJ^Talk 09:53, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
