 * The trial completed with one problematic edit. For one article, the image apparently didn't exist.  I've undone that particular edit.  I think this sort of problem will be considerably rarer than 1 in 50. Emw (talk) 00:28, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
 * The problem has been fixed. If the image doesn't exist, then PDBbot will skip the page. Emw (talk) 00:58, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Looks like everything went well. ( X!  ·  talk )  · @235  · 04:38, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
