317:. The bot will see digit, space, hz, space. That sequence is almost always a unit. As I've said above, and you've repeated, there are abbreviations for other things and that's why it's supervised not fully automatic. I've already done this task as a non-bot in many articles over the years, as have many other editors. I don't know what you mean by typo. If you'd like to give an example from an article, I'd be happy to work it through with you or we could run a trial run on, say, 50 articles.

I'm aware of approximately ten articles that have legitimate use "x mHz". Other editors and I have done many edits along these lines over a long period. False positives have been avoided by whitelisting, by preprocessing article lists to ensure the frequency relates to radio, TV, or microprocessors.
236:
The format 'Hz' is the symbolic form for 'hertz'. This bot will replace non-standard symbols (e.g. 'hz', 'HZ', etc.) with 'Hz'. It will also replace non-standard prefixes (e.g where 'K' is used to mean 'kilo' it will be replaced with 'k', where 'm' is used to mean 'mega' it will be replaced with
467:
Furthermore, these edits are supervised by human. They are relatively short runs (currently there are about 186 articles containing 'mhz' errors) but there are other hz errors. Runs have to be done repeatedly because editors keep adding these errors.
386:), please provide link(s) to the relevant policy/guideline/consensus that this task should be both performed and performed by an automated bot. The three BRFAs linked do not provide such links. Thank you. —

How is the bot going to identify whether the alphabetical sequence is intended as a unit of frequency or not? Unless someone shows me that the bot can do this adequately, I'm going to say "No". -
601:
421:
How will it know whether mHz is an incorrect usage for megahertz and not an intentional usage of millihertz? Megahertz is far more common, but millihertz is still a real unit.
336:
255:
The bot will only operate where the abbreviation means the SI unit 'hertz'. Thus it will avoid non-unit uses intended to mean things like car rental companies, see
