 * Make sure you are familiar with Bot_policy. What does "Automatic (Supervised)" mean? Does the bot make the edits without your confirmation, but you immediately afterwards check each edit? Are you aware of the highly similar bot request? Finally, what pywikipedia options are you using? — HELL KNOWZ  ▎TALK 12:03, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
