[edit] Discussion

Do you already run the bot elsewhere? Are you a sysop elsewhere? — Werdna talk 23:25, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, if you mean whether I run it on other wikis — yes, I run it on Ukrainian, English and approx 60 other Wikipedias. The account has a bot flag on uk, ru, scn, de, nn wikis.
I am not an administrator, neither am I a sysop. However, I am currently being nominated for an administrator on Ukrainian Wikipedia: See voting page. --VictorAnyakin (talk) 18:43, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
Sounds alright to me, pretty uncontroversial task. Let's see одиниця сто edits... Approved for trial (100 edits). SQLQuery me! 05:11, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
Sorry, but the interwiki.py complains that the bot account MrVanBot is locked and is unable to do a single edit. Please, unlock MrVanBot. Thank you. --VictorAnyakin (talk) 11:11, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
It appears your account has been unblocked. In the future, please pursue approval, before running your bot. SQLQuery me! 00:41, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
