• My bot made 11 test edits.--Avocato (talk) 12:43, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

 Approved. Test edits look fine, and the bot is using a standard script. Bot operator runs the bot on several other wikis and already has an approved task. However, please note, Avocato, that unlike most other wikis, we require bots to be approved for a trial before they make test edits, no harm done in this case, but bear that in mind in the future. - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 16:07, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
