Hello @ Mxbndr@ Duckmather

In August 2023 I started a draft on this guy. I took my time, and decided to publish it today, after getting some help moving the fictional character Reggie Montgomery (All My Children) out of the way. After moving Reggie Montgomery to mainspace, I noticed that Mxbndr's version Reggie Montgomery (clown) was there already, published in November. I asked to have my version deleted [1], but Duckmather decided to go another way, possibly because my draft was older, I don't know.

So, that's what's happened. Gråbergs Gråa Sång ( talk) 14:59, 14 February 2024 (UTC) reply

Thanks for starting this topic! My mistake for not checking the Draft articles first. I attempted to clean up the merge today. :) Mxbndr ( talk) 18:43, 22 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Very easy "mistake" to make and very rarely an issue, though it does happen. Gråbergs Gråa Sång ( talk) 20:04, 22 March 2024 (UTC) reply
