These are the "find and replace" regular expressions I use with AutoWikiBrowser when I go through articles about albums. If you have any comments regarding my AWB-assisted edits or suggestions on how to improve these settings please post them on the talk page. Here is the settings.xml file I use. Feel free to use these settings and edit this page. Jogers (talk) 22:25, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
