May not get this fully set up for a few days, but would appreciate permission to start this (and maybe the other 2 (BRFA's 2 and 3) if possible?) -- Mdann 52   talk to me!  14:08, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

Just a note that since I approved previous BRFAs (which is usually a good cause to review similar ones), instead I'll recuse myself from closing this one. — HELL KNOWZ  ▎TALK 14:42, 23 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Why is the bot not running anymore? Is there an issue? And if so, how are you addressing it or making sure the same issue does nor occur again? — HELL KNOWZ  ▎TALK 14:42, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
 * see Wikipedia talk:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Kafziel/Proposed decision for background to this (simply, ArbCom proposed topic banning the editor, and he discontinued helping the project.) The bot had no issues; It was purely the ops decision that he felt he couldn't run the bot anymore. -- Mdann 52   talk to me!  16:38, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
 * After the topic ban fell through, Hasteur indicated at Bot_requests, that he intends to run the tasks further. 81.183.29.3 (talk) 20:53, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I am aware; It would be good to have a backup in case it goes down in the future.... -- Mdann 52   talk to me!  15:18, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Do you still want to trial this or otherwise test it as a backup?  MBisanz  talk 18:35, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
 * I lack much time for Wikipedia due to exams, so I will have to withdraw (or put on hold) for a few months....-- Mdann 52   talk to me!  18:44, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
