Sounds fine - Approved for trial (100 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Reedy Boy 17:53, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Done. Some categories like Category:Men maybe omitted. --Emijrp 18:55, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Overall, it looks good. Just two things. Please remove Category:Men from all future pages, like you said above. Second, if you could check to not add pages to both subcategories and supercategories (one page was added to Category:Chinese astrology and Category:Astrology, for example) that would be great. —METS501 (talk) 14:25, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

I can't do that by now. Sorry. --Emijrp 10:20, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure I understand your response. Can the bot be changed to incorporate Mets501's suggestions? If not, why not? — madman bum and angel 13:40, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Request cancelled. Emijrp 13:43, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
