[edit] Discussion

Fairly simple task, probably a good one to get started botting on :) Are you using your own code, or someone elses, out of curiosity? SQLQuery me! 15:23, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

I am using the DotNetWikiBot Framework, but the rest I am programming myself (with some help form Visual Studio, of course. · Dvyjones Talk 16:02, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
I don't see a problem with this task. I would like to ask if you are planning to make the source code public, but, I can't see where that would really make a difference in this BRFA. I'd like to see a trial run, but, I'm not presently entitled to request said run. Do you have a task ready for trial? I'd expect to be requested to make appx 50-200 edits.

I see no problems, so Approved for trial (one delivery run or 100 edits). -- Cobi(t|c|b) 09:33, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
Ok, I will just finish up the last parts of the code, then I will test it. · Dvyjones Talk 15:18, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

How's this task coming along? SQLQuery me! 22:22, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
