May not get this fully set up for a few days, but would appreciate permission to start this (and maybe the other 2 (BRFA's 2 and 3) if possible?) --Mdann52talk to me! 14:08, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

Just a note that since I approved previous BRFAs (which is usually a good cause to review similar ones), instead I'll recuse myself from closing this one. —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 14:42, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

• Why is the bot not running anymore? Is there an issue? And if so, how are you addressing it or making sure the same issue does nor occur again? —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 14:42, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
  • @Hellknowz: see Wikipedia talk:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Kafziel/Proposed decision#Comment_on_additions_to_Proposed_Decision for background to this (simply, ArbCom proposed topic banning the editor, and he discontinued helping the project.) The bot had no issues; It was purely the ops decision that he felt he couldn't run the bot anymore. --Mdann52talk to me! 16:38, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
    • {{OperatorAssistanceNeeded|D}} After the topic ban fell through, Hasteur indicated at Wikipedia:Bot_requests#Bot_Tasks_For_Adoption, that he intends to run the tasks further. 81.183.29.3 (talk) 20:53, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
      • I am aware; It would be good to have a backup in case it goes down in the future.... --Mdann52talk to me! 15:18, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
• {{OperatorAssistanceNeeded|D}} Do you still want to trial this or otherwise test it as a backup? MBisanz ^talk 18:35, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
  • I lack much time for Wikipedia due to exams , so I will have to withdraw (or put on hold) for a few months....--Mdann52talk to me! 18:44, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
