At the time of this edit, {{ GA-star}} was also listed at Wikipedia:TFD#To_Substitute yet it wasn't substituted. Why? Josh Parris 06:20, 21 May 2010 (UTC) reply
You appear to have genfixes turned on, but haven't checked "apply only if something other than genfixes happens". Is this by design? Josh Parris 06:26, 21 May 2010 (UTC) reply

You're still not catching all the appropriate substitutions; I count 13 instances in 20 edits. Is there any automated way to capture the list of necessary changes? Josh Parris 11:10, 24 May 2010 (UTC) reply
I will check over it more carefully. Umm I don't know how else to reassure you... CrimsonBlue ( talk) 19:20, 25 May 2010 (UTC) reply
Why was this edit made? How many other edits have been made outside of the trial period? Josh Parris 05:11, 27 May 2010 (UTC) reply
I'm not happy with AWB as the tool for this. Is doesn't seem a particularly reliable tool for this task (which is almost identical to Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/SporkBot) and seems prone to performing unnecessary editing. I'd encourage you to follow PlasticSpork's lead and switch to another product. Josh Parris 11:23, 30 May 2010 (UTC) reply
There is a white space skip option that seems to work when I ran it again, and skipped all changes... I will withdraw this, ermm Withdrawn by operator. CrimsonBlue ( talk) 07:18, 2 June 2010 (UTC) reply
