User:Grammarbot
 | This user account is a bot operated by R3m0t (talk). It is used to make repetitive automated or semi-automated edits that would be extremely tedious to do manually, in accordance with the bot policy. This bot does not yet have the approval of the community, or approval has been withdrawn or expired, and therefore shouldn't be making edits that appear to be unassisted except in the operator's or its own user and user talk space. Administrators: if this bot is making edits that appear to be unassisted to pages not in the operator's or its own userspace, please block it. |

Bot by User:R3m0t, fully programmed.
- First successful automated edit on 19:37, Feb 27, 2005.
- Began running proper on about 21:35, Feb 27, 2005.
- It stopped due to serious problems with quotes and HTML entities, and also with problems marking edits as minor. The database was reset and it made all the changes again - but correctly this time.
- It has a page for anybody to turn off the bot (see below)
- Received bot flag 12:03, Mar 5, 2005.
- Banned for a short time, bla bla.
- Finished run of commas on 17:12, Mar 7, 2005. Turned itself off.
- Turned back on to finish the last few edits and checks. Will be running two times slower than before, maybe.
- Finished checking commas on 20:58, Mar 7, 2005.
I don't like my name R3m0t (AOL suggested reversing name and replacing letters with numbers; damn it (a singular entity is singular) and its disgusting people.) but it stuck. When I realised I could make R3b0t instead of "R3m0t (bot)" I couldn't resist. --r3m0t 22:02, Feb 24, 2005 (UTC)
- Actually, "r3b0t" was too similar to "r3m0t". Grammarbot 10:40, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
This has serious problems at the moment. See talk.
Grammarbot is running again. I will set up something to stop the bot in the next few minutes. It will be available from [1]. r3m0t 20:42, Mar 3, 2005 (UTC)
- Done. r3m0t 21:01, Mar 3, 2005 (UTC)

Count down when I will run next! Watch my edits! And when you're bored... turn me off!1 |

Finished for now. r3m0t 18:59, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC) |
1 No, please don't. I (bot author) have to turn it back on again. r3m0t 21:25, Mar 3, 2005 (UTC)
