This is an "ad hoc" clean-up, much like the work on the Rambot articles and the Album articles. Extensive manual testing over hundreds of pages has refined the ruleset so that it is now suitable for automatically running on the remainder. Rich Farmbrough, 19:55, 21 May 2010 (UTC).[reply]

What will prevent damage to Jan Matejko? Is this a manually supervised job? Josh Parris 07:32, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Jan Matejko is not a candidate article, not being in the category discussed. No it will not be manually supervised, I have done the manual stage. Rich Farmbrough, 18:22, 22 May 2010 (UTC).[reply]

Let me re-express myself. Will Jan Matejko become January Matejko? Josh Parris 06:14, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The reg-exe's are reasonably strict for such a small run, and I just scanned the first 500 to confirm they don't contain any cases anyway, the rest will be scanned shortly. Rich Farmbrough, 09:09, 23 May 2010 (UTC).[reply]
