Discussion

 * This is not a single request, this is a bunch of unrelated requests. Also, you need to specify which one on BOTREQ. Soxred93 has a boring sig 19:35, 2 December 2007 (UTC) As a followup, the BAG approves tasks, not bots. Soxred93 has a boring sig 19:45, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Now your recent edit appears to contradict itself. How can it be automatic and supervised? Soxred93 has a boring sig 19:40, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
 * He means automatic for some tasks, supervised for other. But we need more specific information on the tasks themselves. Max S em(Han shot first!) 19:48, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
 * The main problem here is that we do not give blanket approval for automated tasks; each task must be approved. Pick the highest priority one.  — madman bum and angel 21:45, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Can you please explain your bots previous edits?-- maelgwn - talk 14:02, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
 * OK, now I undertand what I have to do. I'm only going to fix double redirects; the others tasks I don't want to be approved at the moment. If I want to do another thing, I will request that later. I have crossed out all I am not going to do. Muro de Aguas (write me) 15:24, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
 * How will it do that? &lt; DREAMAFTER &gt; &lt; TALK &gt; &lt;BAG member&gt; 18:05, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I use redirect.py (a python script). Muro de Aguas (write me) 18:20, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
 * It appears that you have already run it. Don't do that again. Soxred93 has a boring sig 18:26, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

My bot is blocked... I can't run it now. Muro de Aguas (write me) 18:28, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
 * If an admin unblocks it, will you promise not to run it, unless given approval? &lt; DREAMAFTER &gt; &lt; TALK &gt; 20:48, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
 * And could you use edit summaries instead of relying on AES so that people would know that your bot fixes double redirects, not creates new redirs and not redirects existing articles? Max S em(Han shot first!) 21:01, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
 * If an admin unblocks my bot, I won't use it until I've the flag. I will use the edit summary that appear on first contributions (Robot: Fixing double redirect) or similar, I used AES summary in order to test if there was an error when the redirect have "#" (now that error is fixed). Muro de Aguas (write me) 15:25, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
 * OK, unblocked. to see if everything's OK. Max S em(Han shot first!) 20:43, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
 * 50 edits done, everything looks good. Soxred93 has a boring sig 16:48, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
