 * Please run these consecutively without other tasks and post link to the contributions range when done. — xaosflux  Talk 01:55, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I had told the botop I intended to speedy approve this at Wikipedia_talk:Bots/Requests_for_approval. It uses the exact same code as JL-Bot 7 but extends it to Cite magazine, and it only edits in project-space at a very low rate, so no chance of running awry. Would you object to me following through on what I told the botop? (Worth noting both Headbomb and Hellknowz agreed with no trial at the user talk discussion.) ~ Rob 13 Talk 13:54, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
 * if you would like, I saw it pop up so figured a very fast trial would be easy enough. — xaosflux  Talk 15:28, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
 * It was easy enough to do. See here. -- JLaTondre (talk) 20:24, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
