Hopefully this should be simple. - Kingpin13 (talk) 11:35, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Experienced bot operator, BAG member, very simple language, and tasks that are almost impossible to do wrong (assuming you keep track of your subcategories)... I can't find a problem with this one, and I'd suggest a speedy approval. The Earwig  (Talk &#124; Contribs) 19:46, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, seems fine, bot appropriate, and it's exclusion compliant. --69.225.12.99 (talk) 06:52, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

I'd also like approval to use WP:Plugin++ please, - Kingpin13 (talk) 11:44, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * This one seems like a simple task and run by someone familiar with how bots work. I don't see any issues here (and could possibly use this bot's services for WP:JA, too). ··· 日本穣 ? · 投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe 14:26, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
