[edit]
((BotTrial)) Speedy Trial Approval---please post back your trial results. — xaosflux Talk 02:11, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
((BotTrialComplete)) - see these diffs. GoingBatty (talk) 02:49, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The trial looked fine, however as a non-BAG action I think there is a problem with this premise and have brought this up at CFD. Should the result be a keep, task approval should be no issue.
((onhold)) (Category:Articles containing video clips) has been nominated for possible deletion, merging, or renaming. If you would like to participate in the discussion, you are invited to add your comments at the category's entry on the Categories for discussion page.

Just a note, still pending closure of that CfD, seems to be going long. — xaosflux Talk 15:07, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2014 December 19 is on ((adminbacklog)) still. — xaosflux Talk 18:26, 12 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Phoebe and Xaosflux: The CfD was closed with no consensus. What now? GoingBatty (talk) 02:14, 15 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No-consensus is a default keep, so the hold on this is released. — xaosflux Talk 02:37, 15 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
