Thanks for your concern.
 The edits currently being made are very simple.
 They have been approved at Wikipedia:Bots/Requests_for_approvals#SmackBot_Task_Approval by the bot approval group (using AWB or Firefox).
 SmackBot has made nearly 100,000 edits with very few problems.
 In the event of problems both "rollback" and AWB are available to fix them.
 Anyone can stop SmackBot by leaving a message on it's talk page.

Thank you for your reply. Except for 1, 3, 4, and 5, I am reassured. With some programming experience I'm wary of robots running robots. Anyway, thanks again.  (Talk)
