 * Please don't run the bot until after getting approval, though I'm tempted to deny it right now after edits like this. It broke the grammar in the second replacement and "automobile" is not a misspelling of "car." Please edit this page under your main account as well. I've blocked the bot for now. It can be unblocked if its approved. Mr.Z-man 05:35, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
 * sorry, i got ssuper-tempted thanks for blocking it. otherwise i would get tempted again in the next week or so and edit extremely many articles.

Please speedily deny this request (I would do it myself but I have no idea which templates are needed). Thanks! --MZMcBride (talk) 06:04, 4 December 2008 (UTC) WHY WHY WHY Hintss talk 07:43, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
