• All difs look fine, keep an eye out for any side afects that AWB "general fixes" may have, watch the AWB page if you will use this feature. This bot should be flagged. Until flag is set, limit edits to !>3/min. — xaosflux ^Talk 15:01, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Just noticed you were already flagged, full bot operations are a go. — xaosflux ^Talk 15:04, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
