  • The edits appear like manual work to me, so I'd suggest to do this with the normal user account. --Krd 08:50, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree with above. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:02, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Sorry, i'm completely new to bots and to the process of getting them authorized. I will need authorization for AWB as i will need to create about 1000 categories following an upload i am planning in a few weeks, but i don't want to start creating them yet as they would sit empty until my upload. I was just trying to get prepared in advance. If it helps i guess i could create one of the catagories using AWB, just to demonstrate what we want to do? The other option is for me to share the list of categories with another more experienced BOT operator willing to do the work for me? Thanks for your patience Jason.nlw (talk) 15:39, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    I'd say for everything requested here you are good to go to user AWB with your main account. I have added you accordingly. --Krd 16:17, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Agree with Krd, small enough and inconsistent job that you can run on your main account. If you are interested in a more experienced bot operator as you implied above, drop a note on Commons:Bots/Work requests and one of us will get it done. ~riley (talk) 05:19, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Excellent. Thanks very much for your help Jason.nlw (talk) 09:10, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Closing as withdrawn per above. --Krd 10:39, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
