 * This bot appears to have edited since this BRFA was filed. Bots may not edit outside their own or their operator's userspace unless approved or approved for trial. AnomieBOT ⚡ 13:17, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Two questions: which interwiki options are being used, and why is it already editing?  Rcsprinter  (post)  @ 13:20, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
 * These edits are just trial, a bot must be tested before request as I know ^_^ --AhMedRMaaty (talk) 00:09, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I think you have it the wrong way round - bots are tested in a trial when approved to do so during a request, not before.  Rcsprinter  (articulate)  @ 00:11, 1 November 2012 (UTC)


 * oh,really ?! sorry for that. so what should I do now? --AhMedRMaaty (talk) 00:18, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
 * You could answer my first question, which options are you using with the script?  Rcsprinter  (lecture)  @ 00:23, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I use no options, only the script --AhMedRMaaty (talk) 00:57, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Are there any specific interwikis you plan to stick to?  Hazard-SJ  ✈   02:26, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
 * So you will edit all namespaces? mabdul 18:51, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Any updates to questions?  MBisanz  talk 14:47, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
 * No response from the operator in more than two weeks, marking this request as expired for now (this edit can simply be reverted when the operator is ready to continue with the approvals process). &mdash; madman 01:13, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
