 * This bot has edited its own BRFA page. Bot policy states that the bot account is only for edits on approved tasks or trials approved by BAG; the operator must log into their normal account to make any non-bot edits. AnomieBOT ⚡ 16:22, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Could you provide some example of links that would be added and what articles they would be added to?  ·addshore·  talk to me! 19:35, 31 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Asa.zaidman, you haven't provided any explanation as to why the community thinks this could be a good idea. Have you raised it at any of the relevant WikiProjects, or at the WP:Village Pump? You haven't edited since the end of last month, are you likely to be away from Wikipedia for extended periods? If we don't hear from you, I'm intending to close this as abandoned in a few days.

Sorry, but running a bot requires good and timely interaction with others. You're not responding even while your BRFA is still running - how can we be sure that you will be responsive if approved? Max Semenik (talk) 22:12, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
