Discussion[edit]

Seems uncontroversial. Approved for trial. Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Do 1 small task. I'm not going to give a specific edit limit because the bot may as well not have to stop in the middle of handling a TfD. Anomie⚔ 00:16, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
