• Accidentally did a test run with the bot account instead of my own to make sure replace() method was working alright—which it was. Sorry about that. —Theopolisme (talk) 19:42, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

Approved for trial (50 edits or 5 days). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. ·Add§hore· ^{Talk To Me!} 09:47, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Would it be possible to stop the bot from leaving multiple new lines in a row? ·Add§hore· ^{Talk To Me!} 14:19, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

@Addshore: Sorry, I don't think I quite understand what you're talking about--could you give an example? Thanks, Theopolisme (talk) 02:13, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

This is the revision your bot made; notice that there is a blank line at the bottom of the Cantopop section. Before your bot edited there was not a blank line at the bottom of this section. -68.107.137.178 (talk) 09:08, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
