•  Note: This bot appears to have edited since this BRFA was filed. Bots may not edit outside their own or their operator's userspace unless approved or approved for trial. AnomieBOT⚡ 06:04, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
• Comment This bot appears to have over 200 mainspace edits and is currently running at about six edits per minute. Is it an approved bot? – Jonesey95 (talk) 06:19, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

  No, it is not approved. GorillaWarfare has blocked it. — JJMC89 (T·C) 06:25, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

  I have not looked in depth at the quality of the bot's edits, just blocked because it is an unapproved bot editing outside of Maathavan's userspace. Feel free to overturn the block without consulting me if/when the bot is approved for a trial run. GorillaWarfare (talk) 06:28, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

• That is a lot of edits (and I see it's now been blocked...)—the real question is, why aren't these pages caught by Xqbot or others? — Earwig ^talk 06:25, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

Denied. Unfortunately, you don't appear to have enough experience here on English Wikipedia. Please come back when you have more experience. Max Semenik (talk) 07:18, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
