Bot

Hi there, I've approved the bot (see Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/DixonDBot). But in future, make sure the bot makes no edits before being approved (I'm assuming good faith in this case, as you seem to have done everything else fine). Also, make sure you don't edit templates. - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 13:08, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! Sorry, I thought that I need to do few test edits before approval. Some wikies use this practice. Sorry again.DixonD (talk) 13:17, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Not a problem. We do do this, but only after it's been approved for a trial by a member of BAG. Although limited testing on the bot's userpage is allowed. Cheers - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 14:48, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

You may also wish to read the introduction to editing for further information. Thank you. Anna Lincoln 11:05, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

I believe that I can do any edits in talk page of my bot. Regards --DixonD (talk) 11:11, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of RLPlot

The article RLPlot has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

non-notable software, perhaps G11

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 23:44, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
