Hi there Jackie. I see you've already been running this bot, please make sure you read through our bot policy, whichh explains not to do this until the bot is approved. Also, make sure you read the Restrictions on specific tasks > Interwiki links in particular. Will the bot avoid editing templates? And the outline above suggests that you will be running this bot with autonomous mode off, is that correct? - Kingpin13 (talk) 06:33, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
 * FYI this was discussed at WP:BN. As long as Kingpin's concerns are answered satisfactorily, this can probably be speedy approved. – xeno talk 20:07, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Bot don't touch templates and edit categories and main space only. Autonomous mode not used. I run bot during patrol new/changed pages and update engine everyday. From 34 edits of JackieBot account only 20 is a bot's edits, other is manually. — Jack 04:00, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, looks fine - Kingpin13 (talk) 10:09, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
