Discussion

What do you mean "edits around wikipedia"? You have to have a task request with a specific task in mind, not just "make edits". Also, to edit the main page, you must have an admin account (which does not seem likely, due to the vaguness of this request). Soxred93 (u t c m l ) 01:32, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

User is relatively new, this may be a test request. Dagoth Ur, Mad God (talk · contribs).--Otterathome (talk) 20:23, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

It's not even transcluded on Wikipedia:BRFA. Soxred93 (u t) 20:51, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

It says Will make a few edits to the Main Page. Considering the Main Page is full protected, just a hunch but I don't think this bot will make it past RFA. Q ^{T C} 20:53, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

• Closing this as user is evidently very new, and task request can only be carried out by admins.--Otterathome (talk) 09:29, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
