Discussion

•  Note: The user account this request is for is also listed as the Operator, but the account name does not clearly indicate that the account is a bot and the account has very few edits. Please note that WP:Bot policy states that a bot account's username should make it immediately clear that the account is in fact a bot, which is normally done by having the account name end with the word "Bot". Also note that a bot may not operate itself, so the Operator field should identify the account of the human running the bot. AnomieBOT⚡ 15:39, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

• Operator of the bot is corrected. This request was created using the bot-username, which automatically placed itself as the operator. The actual operator/initiator of this is Omer Rajput. Omer rajput (talk) 15:51, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

Please ping us when your script is ready to be tested and or looked at :) ·Add§hore· ^{Talk To Me!} 10:33, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

A user has requested the attention of the operator. Once the operator has seen this message and replied, please deactivate this tag. (user notified) any updates? ·addshore· ^{talk to me!} 11:05, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

Question: How long does an operator have to reply before the request is closed as unsuccessful? MM (Report findings) ^{(Past espionage)} 14:15, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

There's no official time limit. I generally try to give quite a long while for them to reply (about a month or sometimes even two), mainly because BAG is often very slow at approving requests, so it would be a bit unfair to enforce a faster response time than BAG itself. Also, I like to give a warning "e.g. If there's no response within a week, I will mark this request as expired", to give the operator a heads up. --Chris 12:31, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
