::No, I would not. These cases are not amenable to being reliably processed by a bot. Of the 500 or so dubious Lightbot edits that I mentioned on your talk page, I've manually checked the last 90-odd using AWB and about half of them needed repair, see list [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&dir=prev&offset=20111012000000&contribs=user&target=Smallerjim&limit=46 here]. Rather than thinking about starting more conversions, you ought to repair the rest of these first, in accordance with [[WP:BOTACC]]: "the bot operator is responsible for the repair of any damage caused by a bot which operates incorrectly."  —[[User:Smalljim|SMALL]][[User talk:Smalljim#top|JIM]]  19:36, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

:::That's what I meant. The first action would be to work on intervening words that were moved by Lightbot. Would you support such a bot task? [[User:Lightmouse|Lightmouse]] ([[User talk:Lightmouse|talk]]) 20:58, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

::::Sigh. No, I would not. In case what I wrote above wasn't clear - you should repair the outstanding bad edits manually, using AWB if you want. And to be honest, I should do it quickly if I was you, else consensus might turn against you being allowed to run a bot again.  —[[User:Smalljim|SMALL]][[User talk:Smalljim#top|JIM]]  22:00, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
