• Fairly routine request, Approved for trial. for up to 150 edits. Please report back here after your initial run is complete. — xaosflux ^Talk 12:04, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
• Y Done. Can my bot receive a bot flag now? - VasilievVV 16:18, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
• Comment: I have noted some concerns here about valid links removed by this bot. - Fayenatic london (talk) 12:33, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

  Hm.. I think I'll disable interwiki removal on English Wikipedia. - VasilievVV 12:54, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

  Now that errors weer corrected, can you do another run (up to 75 edits) to reconfirm? Thanks, — xaosflux ^Talk 02:48, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

  No problems. Y Done - VasilievVV 05:03, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

• I have (of course) no objection to the bot removing dead links, where the interwiki article no longer exists. Where the link finds an existing article but the link is suspect, e.g. there is an en: link at the other end but it points to a different English article, can the bot make a list for checking, rather than deleting?

• Everything looks good here, Approved. (will need a flag). — xaosflux ^Talk 01:39, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
