Note: I have performed extensive manual testing (hundreds, probably thousands of edits) and removed any components that require operator intervention for a later manual run. No complaints over the last month. Rich Farmbrough, 20:50 3 October 2006 (GMT).

Just to save me some time, can you provide some diffs? -- RM 23:41, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
Certainly:
chosen more or less at random, are typical edits. Rich Farmbrough, 11:05 4 October 2006 (GMT).

File:Symbol keep vote.svg Approved for trial. I vacilated between just speedily approving this and approving it for trial, since it has had already had extensive manual testing. As a result, this bot is approved for trial without any major limitations. Just perform a reasonable number of edits and post a message when completed. -- RM 12:05, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. Rich Farmbrough, 17:52 6 October 2006 (GMT).
Trial here. Regards, Rich Farmbrough, 22:42 6 October 2006 (GMT).

File:Symbol keep vote.svg Approved. Looked over the results and everything checks out. -- RM 22:07, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Good health. Rich Farmbrough, 23:09 7 October 2006 (GMT).
