editTo claify, this wil only be editing your userspace? LegoKontribsTalkM 23:37, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I scanned Category:User-created public domain images. I think it is not necessary to scan a specified category for duplicates and make an edit every time a duplicate found. So, I'll run it on the categories with 'file log', then I'll copy the log to the live wiki to be scanned manually. Therefore, I changed the task to be more useful to avoid coming duplicates backlog. This bot does edit other then my page.--OsamaK 13:13, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
