[edit]- Are you able to share a manual diff that shows the type of edit you intend to make? SQLQuery Me! 06:55, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- like this.--Here's 28 and did I make a mess? 10:18, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- How are you selecting pages to edit? SQLQuery Me! 07:01, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: This editor has very few edits (2,000), about 25% of which have been reverted, and does not demonstrate an aptitude for this sort of editing in their edit history. This is probably a case of someone not being ready to be a bot operator. Also see User talk:Q28/0. – Jonesey95 (talk) 13:28, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- I consider myself to be somewhat involved, but this is a hard no from me. They have been nothing except borderline disruptive (including a block for DE), and only a few weeks ago I denied this same request via PERM/AWB (see Special:PermaLink/1040240495#User:Q288).

Denied. I'm afraid. Firstly, the information provided by Jonesey and Primefac show that you may not have the community trust required to competently operate a bot in accordance with the Wikipedia:Bot policy at this time. Secondly, I can't really see what kinds of edits you want to make in this task. The link you sent to SQL is malformed, and the history of that page has no edits by you. Normally I'd request clarification but I don't believe that would help this request gain consensus for approval. I suggest following the advice at Wikipedia:Not ready to be a bot operator.
