[edit] Discussion
- I think that should be 2 requests AFAIK - One for wikiproject tagging, one for newsletter delivery. Reedy Boy 21:17, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
- It seems fine, as it is a general wikiproject bot. For the "general requests", please be specific about what you mean. I would recommend another BRFA for any other tasks. Since this is AWB, standard code, etc, Approved for trial (50 edits). for the wikiproject tagging, and one newsletter delivery to a maximum of 50 users.

- Okay, trial's complete. approximately 25 users notified with a WP:AFC newsletter, and 47 articles tagged with {{WPMAN|auto=yes}}. GrooveDog (talk) 15:09, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
- One issue: Please sign the newsletter deliveries, or it can stop them being archived. Apart from that, it looks good. Once you've fixed that, please say, and I will approve. Matt/TheFearow (Talk) (Contribs) (Bot) 23:01, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

- You will need to make a list of users who want the newsletter delievered, otherwise you will spam them :-). ~ Wikihermit 00:31, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
- That is probably a better idea - of course, either way is spamming, since its called a spamlist, and sending out newletters is considered "spamming". I never get why it is called that for that purpose. Matt/TheFearow (Talk) (Contribs) (Bot) 01:11, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
