VoxelBot and notability templates

Got a message from the bot regarding a page I created for someone else; this is a great service, so thanks for starting it! Nyttend (talk) 21:54, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

Sure thing, always glad to help out! Although I should point out that credit for that task should go to Fox Wilson. Vacation9 01:28, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
