 * This editor has only 2,670 total edits, 1,400 in article space. This bot request appears to be in conflict with WP:SPELLBOT. "one night" is not necessarily a typo or any other kind of error. This request probably falls under WP:BOTNOTNOW. – Jonesey95 (talk) 00:16, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

Correcting spelling, grammar, or punctuation mistakes is one of the examples at WP:CONTEXTBOT. The given example is obviously a bad correction to make automatically, since it would be an incorrect change in a sentence like "one night I filed a bot request that was quickly denied."
