 * Simple task,  Richard  0612  23:23, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
 * OK, the bot will actually make around ~60 edits per delivery. I will have to wait until Sunday until I can deliver the newsletter. The  Helpful  One  00:02, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Note, I have updated the task details, the bot will instead use a Python script, newsletter.py. The  Helpful  One  19:21, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Revising trial to encompass one entire run, stopping after 20 would be difficult given the editing speed of the script.  Richard 0612  20:04, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
 * n.b. TheHelpfulOne isn't ignoring this page, they've been off Wikipedia altogether since 2009-02-11. - Jarry1250 (t, c) 08:51, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Indeed that I have! I took a break and have returned, to miss the time where I could have delivered the newsletter, guess I have to wait until next week again! :) The  Helpful  One  12:06, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

 * As above - simple, uncontroversial task; trial went as expected; no reason to not be . - Jarry1250 (t, c) 17:47, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
