I've fixed up the code a little bit so that in case it encounters an error, the script keeps executing. Source. (X! · talk)  · @269  ·  05:27, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

((BAGAssistanceNeeded)) I've verified that each of the moves is correct per the editor who requested the moves, the source code is available, and I've already executed the same type of task as assisted editing. I'd like speedy approval, if at all possible. :) — madman bum and angel 23:56, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Approved for trial (50 (+ or -, pick a suitable point to stop) edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete., I'm actually going to be away for the next couple of days, and it would be bad form to speedy approve something when you weren't available. If someone else wants to overrule, go ahead. - Jarry1250 [ In the UK? Sign the petition! ] 18:35, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
