Guild of Copy Editors December 2022 Newsletter
Hello and welcome to our latest newsletter, a quarterly digest of Guild activities since October. Don't forget you can unsubscribe at any time; see below. Blitz: Our October Copy Editing Blitz focused on July and August 2022 request months; and articles tagged for c/e in December 2021 and January 2022. Seventeen of those who signed up claimed at least one copy-edit, and between them copy-edited forty-six articles. Barnstars awarded are here. Drive: In the November Backlog Elimination Drive, thirty editors signed up, twenty-two of whom claimed at least one copy-edit. Both target months—December 2021 and January 2022—were cleared, and February was added to the target months. Sixteen requests were copy-edited and 239 articles were removed from the backlog. Barnstars awarded are here. Blitz: Our seven-day-long December 2022 Copy Editing Blitz begins on 17 December at 00:01 (UTC)*. It will focus on articles tagged for copy-edit in February 2022, and pending requests from September and October. Barnstars awarded will be available here. Progress report: As of 22:40, 8 December 2022, GOCE copyeditors have processed 357 requests since 1 January, there were seventy-four requests outstanding and the backlog stands at 1,791 articles. We always need skilled copy-editors; please help out if you can.

The GOCE December 2022 newsletter, as sent on 9 December, contains an erroneous start date for our December Blitz. The Blitz will start on 11 December rather than on 17 December, as stated in the newsletter. I'm sorry for the mistake and for disrupting your talk page; thanks for your understanding.

Hi, I must take issue with the recent close. It states:
the closer stated the discussion and arguments were fairly balanced
when what the closer actually said was
While the discussion and arguments seem fairly balanced in number.....my decision that those who support the move have a better understanding of the article and what its title should be
Furthermore, the review closure also stated
Please do note that the community takes issue with UtherSRG's method, not his outcome. It will be in order for someone else to re-close this requested move as move if that is their assessment of the consensus
Afaics, the current close amounts to a vote count that takes no account of the quality of the arguments in support of either the original or the proposed title, the "better understanding", I request that you take another look.
Thank you. Selfstudier ( talk) 11:18, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
Your close doesnt seem to address the merits of the arguments at all, and ask that you reconsider by either relisting (it had only been relisted for three days prior to your close) or address the merits of the arguments. When one group provides sources and the other side just says POV that should not result in no consensus. nableezy - 14:53, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
An editor has asked for a Move review of 1948 Palestinian exodus. Because you closed the move discussion for this page, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the move review. nableezy - 17:26, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
Hi,
I request that you reopen and relist your recent closure of this RM. To close this RM based on counting !votes is inappropriate. Consensus is not based on just counting the number of heads.
In addition, in my opinion your closing statement does not address the arguments raised during the RM. Did you consider WP:CRITERIA-based arguments? Did you consider that the party does not use one name over the other on it's website, when at least three support !votes stated that they do? - Spekkios ( talk) 23:58, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
Hi, um, slightly awkward to pile on like this, but I don’t actually have any issue with the decision of your closure. Rather I came to advise on a less central detail: you should avoid introducing new arguments in your closures. In this case, the point about NZ English being quick to adopt Māori vocab seems to come out of nowhere and doesn’t reflect the discussion. I think a better summary would have mentioned something like “proponents emphasised that the party refers to itself as te Pāti Māori (in English)”, which seems to be one of two dominant arguments (along with commonness). — HTGS ( talk) 01:17, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
I don't notice any objection to moving that to Day of Reckoning (disambiguation). I think that could have been the outcome, rather than "no consensus". — BarrelProof ( talk) 17:33, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
I see you recently closed a requested move as no consensus. I agree there wasn't any consensus. Should this mean that the article should revert back to its previous long-term and stable title? the article was called "Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan" from 2008 to May 2022, when it was moved after this discussion. But this discussion doesn't seem to have enough participation to constitute consensus (2 supports and 1 oppose). This rationale was also mentioned by Paine Ellsworth. VR talk 16:44, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
Likewise, Andrewa reiterated the underlying essence of his argument, when he proffered:Oppose - it has been clearly demonstrated above, using Google hits as well as G-books hits, that the common name for this group is "Pakistani Taliban". It's also clearly the primary topic for that term, compared to the topic of other Taliban who hail from Pakistan or other groups operating there. Although the !vote here looks split, I think this is a "consensus against move" scenario because the policy arguments for the present title are a lot stronger than those for the alternative
— User:Amakuru 12:00, 28 November 2022
.. If that term is ambiguous and the current article is not the Primary Topic (about which I am not convinced), should it be a DAB?Andrewa (talk) 15:58, 12 November 2022 (UTC). I too had recapitulated the essence of my argument a day before your closure [1]. In consequence, I don't think putting these quality arguments grounded in policies upon the same footing as those advanced by proponents of the move (whose chief reasoning was debunked, with the residual taking the form of rehash, primarily from socks and SPAs) was justified or meticulous. I did give it a food for thought before voicing my dissent, because a few months down the road this is likely to become an issue again with socks crawling out of the woodwork all over once again, and some of us may not be around (as much) on Wikipedia for it. MBlaze Lightning ( talk) 11:31, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

I was curious to know why you closed the recent RM [7] on Franz Willem Prinz von Preussen in favor of the move? The majority (albeit 7-6, by my count) were opposed to the move. Further, the official website of the princes of Prussia [8] refers to "Georg Friedrich, Prince of Prussia" not the current article title. I would suggest revisiting this RM, as it does not even seem reliable english sources use the title. I would also argue the discouragement of hypothetical titles in WP:NCROY doesn't apply because reliable sources do in fact use the title. Here are some: [9] [10] [11] [12] Estar8806 ( talk) 23:26, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
I have nominated Partners in Crime (Doctor Who) for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets the featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" in regards to the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Z1720 ( talk) 16:32, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
Hello @ Sceptre!
I had never proposed mergers until recently, and most of my proposals haven't been gaining much traction. I would appreciate your insight on these 3 proposals of mine: 1, 2, 3
Any insight is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time! Mooonswimmer 21:40, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
Why would you close this when you were involved with a previous near-identical close that was challenged and which came up with no consensus on the quality of your close? Part of the complaint was that you did a vote count and didn't expand on the arguments or policy. Now you have closed an almost identical RM (with yourself now arguably involved in the overall imbroglio) and performed what appears to be another vote count without any mention of the arguments or policy, and in part referred to the previous close with which you were involved. In the most unflattering light, this close could even be interpreted as you returning with the specific intent of reiterating your own previous, challenged verdict to make a point. I would strongly suggest that you re-open and leave it to a closer that is more obviously uninvolved. Iskandar323 ( talk) 05:04, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
That is an absurd close, and you emphatically do not have authority to impose a moratorium. nableezy - 16:56, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
Thank you for undoing my edits. Yes, at the article Royal Rumble (2023), WWE officially lists Rhea Ripley as staying in the women's Royal Rumble match 1 second longer than Liv Morgan, although other sources say that the match ended as soon as Morgan was eliminated, and Ripley and Morgan set the record. If you have further issues, please discuss it in the article's talk page. GodofDemonwars ( talk) 00:18, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

Hi there,
How did you determine that the consensus for this move was not the proposed title? Spekkios ( talk) 21:00, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
Regarding the close at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ukraine#Requested move 7 February 2023. The statement about the decision completely ignores the important point about the difference between the names in article titles and parenthetic disambiguation strings, as well as the cited precedent, citing examples that are not analogies for this at all (on top of that, Istanbul and Constantinople are completely different names, not just a spelling variation in a city name that hasn’t changed in over a millennium). It seems a completely unsatisfactory rationale, as in it gives no indication that you read the proposal or considered the points made in it.source] ]] — Michael Z. 20:52, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
Thanks for taking the time to read that novel. I'd just like to know what arguments you found most compelling, so I can understand more about Wikipedia guidelines.
Your reasoning on the talk page itself is that the common name may change from Maize to Corn, but it hasn't yet, similar to Iroquois → Haudenosaunee. However, the arguments used to show that Iroquois is still the most commonly used name is the exact sort used to show why Corn is the most commonly used name. Most relevantly, even in scientific and scholarly papers Maize is used about 1/3rd as much as Corn, as shown in the RM.
Could you explain the differences between the two situations? Without knowing more about your point of view, one could look at these two examples and assume that the default is 'no consensus' when a tough decision needs to be made. OuroCat ( talk) 23:12, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

Hello, Sceptre. Regarding your closure at Aguascalientes City, I notice you wrote that "documentary evidence has been provided to the contrary" only for Chihuahua City, which you exempted... but an even greater volume of documentary evidence was provided for Oaxaca City, which you didn't. Was that intentional, and if so could you share the rationale? Thanks for any clarification. ╠╣uw [ talk 17:09, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
I'll add that a lot of evidence was introduced for Queretaro City, as well. Red Slash 17:12, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
Sceptre, I must applaud you for your efforts. But I think there’s a bit of confusion lurking here. There is no community consensus, nor local consensus in this RM, that says that demonstration of some common usage of a given natural disambiguation for a topic means that this natural disambiguation, and not parenthetic disambiguation of the undisputed most common name, must be used as the title. As noted in the discussion, NATURAL merely notes that the natural disambiguation may be preferred. Well, in all of these cases, without any exceptions, consensus in this RM clearly prefers the parenthetic disambiguation. Please close according to community and local consensus. Thank you. — В²C ☎ 02:19, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

Hi. I would ask you to reconsider this close. The nomination and support votes were based on a flawed premise, that Confait identified as a trans woman. As I said in the discussion, there is no reliable evidence for this. An editor added it to the article a few years ago and the editors who supported the nomination clearly just supported without checking the evidence (or lack of). In any case, this is a well-known murder in British criminal history and the victim is invariably referred to as Maxwell Confait. We cannot apply modern ideas to something that happened fifty years ago. The rename is a clear violation of WP:COMMONNAME. Thanks. -- Necrothesp ( talk) 11:18, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

Please rethink or undo this close. Closers ought to know how to intepret policy and assess arguments under the lens of policy, but your closing summary indicates you don't know how to do that, and instead ignored policy based on the local consensus. TITLECHANGES can't be used to oppose change just for the sake of opposing change, and all the other policy-based arguments (COMMONNAME, CONCISE) supported the move.

Your close at Talk:Federal prosecution of Donald Trump (classified documents case) was way too early; it has literally been only a day and a half since the indictment, which is not enough time for discussion to evolve. Furthermore, the existing !votes don't support that there is any consensus either way yet, especially since the original proposer stated that they no longer exclusively support their original title and is open to further discussion. Please reverse the close and let the RM play out over a normal timeframe. Thanks. Antony–22 ( talk⁄ contribs) 04:16, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi @ Sceptre
I am reaching out to you because of your previous participation in one of the discussions regarding the reliability and neutrality of HuffPost/Pink News/ProPublica as sources used on Wikipedia.
Currently, there is an ongoing issue with the Edelman Family Foundation section in the Joseph Edelman Wikipedia article. The section appears to be biased and lacks a balanced representation of the foundation's activities, as it primarily focuses on a single controversial donation while neglecting to mention the organization's numerous other significant contributions to various causes.
I would like to invite you to participate in the discussion on the BLP Noticeboard to address the concerns surrounding the section's neutrality and explore ways to improve its content. Llama Tierna ( talk) 18:15, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

It's been a strange year. I let our relationship lapse and I'm sorry. It's mostly, but not entirely, because I abjectly refuse to use Discord anymore and I forgot my Matrix credentials.
Email would be good. Jitsi coffee dates would be good. I still think of you. But if you don't want to anymore, I completely understand.

Hi, I must take issue with the recent close. It states:
the closer stated the discussion and arguments were fairly balanced
when what the closer actually said was
While the discussion and arguments seem fairly balanced in number.....my decision that those who support the move have a better understanding of the article and what its title should be
Furthermore, the review closure also stated
Please do note that the community takes issue with UtherSRG's method, not his outcome. It will be in order for someone else to re-close this requested move as move if that is their assessment of the consensus
Afaics, the current close amounts to a vote count that takes no account of the quality of the arguments in support of either the original or the proposed title, the "better understanding", I request that you take another look.
Thank you. Selfstudier ( talk) 11:18, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
Your close doesnt seem to address the merits of the arguments at all, and ask that you reconsider by either relisting (it had only been relisted for three days prior to your close) or address the merits of the arguments. When one group provides sources and the other side just says POV that should not result in no consensus. nableezy - 14:53, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
An editor has asked for a Move review of 1948 Palestinian exodus. Because you closed the move discussion for this page, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the move review. nableezy - 17:26, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
Hi,
I request that you reopen and relist your recent closure of this RM. To close this RM based on counting !votes is inappropriate. Consensus is not based on just counting the number of heads.
In addition, in my opinion your closing statement does not address the arguments raised during the RM. Did you consider WP:CRITERIA-based arguments? Did you consider that the party does not use one name over the other on it's website, when at least three support !votes stated that they do? - Spekkios ( talk) 23:58, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
Hi, um, slightly awkward to pile on like this, but I don’t actually have any issue with the decision of your closure. Rather I came to advise on a less central detail: you should avoid introducing new arguments in your closures. In this case, the point about NZ English being quick to adopt Māori vocab seems to come out of nowhere and doesn’t reflect the discussion. I think a better summary would have mentioned something like “proponents emphasised that the party refers to itself as te Pāti Māori (in English)”, which seems to be one of two dominant arguments (along with commonness). — HTGS ( talk) 01:17, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
I don't notice any objection to moving that to Day of Reckoning (disambiguation). I think that could have been the outcome, rather than "no consensus". — BarrelProof ( talk) 17:33, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
I see you recently closed a requested move as no consensus. I agree there wasn't any consensus. Should this mean that the article should revert back to its previous long-term and stable title? the article was called "Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan" from 2008 to May 2022, when it was moved after this discussion. But this discussion doesn't seem to have enough participation to constitute consensus (2 supports and 1 oppose). This rationale was also mentioned by Paine Ellsworth. VR talk 16:44, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
Likewise, Andrewa reiterated the underlying essence of his argument, when he proffered:Oppose - it has been clearly demonstrated above, using Google hits as well as G-books hits, that the common name for this group is "Pakistani Taliban". It's also clearly the primary topic for that term, compared to the topic of other Taliban who hail from Pakistan or other groups operating there. Although the !vote here looks split, I think this is a "consensus against move" scenario because the policy arguments for the present title are a lot stronger than those for the alternative
— User:Amakuru 12:00, 28 November 2022
.. If that term is ambiguous and the current article is not the Primary Topic (about which I am not convinced), should it be a DAB?Andrewa (talk) 15:58, 12 November 2022 (UTC). I too had recapitulated the essence of my argument a day before your closure [1]. In consequence, I don't think putting these quality arguments grounded in policies upon the same footing as those advanced by proponents of the move (whose chief reasoning was debunked, with the residual taking the form of rehash, primarily from socks and SPAs) was justified or meticulous. I did give it a food for thought before voicing my dissent, because a few months down the road this is likely to become an issue again with socks crawling out of the woodwork all over once again, and some of us may not be around (as much) on Wikipedia for it.

I was curious to know why you closed the recent RM [7] on Franz Willem Prinz von Preussen in favor of the move? The majority (albeit 7-6, by my count) were opposed to the move. Further, the official website of the princes of Prussia [8] refers to "Georg Friedrich, Prince of Prussia" not the current article title. I would suggest revisiting this RM, as it does not even seem reliable english sources use the title. I would also argue the discouragement of hypothetical titles in WP:NCROY doesn't apply because reliable sources do in fact use the title.

I have nominated Partners in Crime (Doctor Who) for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets the featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" in regards to the article's featured status.

Hello @ Sceptre!
I had never proposed mergers until recently, and most of my proposals haven't been gaining much traction. I would appreciate your insight on these 3 proposals of mine: 1, 2, 3
Any insight is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time! Mooonswimmer 21:40, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
Why would you close this when you were involved with a previous near-identical close that was challenged and which came up with no consensus on the quality of your close? Part of the complaint was that you did a vote count and didn't expand on the arguments or policy. Now you have closed an almost identical RM (with yourself now arguably involved in the overall imbroglio) and performed what appears to be another vote count without any mention of the arguments or policy, and in part referred to the previous close with which you were involved. In the most unflattering light, this close could even be interpreted as you returning with the specific intent of reiterating your own previous, challenged verdict to make a point. I would strongly suggest that you re-open and leave it to a closer that is more obviously uninvolved. Iskandar323 ( talk) 05:04, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
That is an absurd close, and you emphatically do not have authority to impose a moratorium. nableezy - 16:56, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
Thank you for undoing my edits. Yes, at the article Royal Rumble (2023), WWE officially lists Rhea Ripley as staying in the women's Royal Rumble match 1 second longer than Liv Morgan, although other sources say that the match ended as soon as Morgan was eliminated, and Ripley and Morgan set the record. If you have further issues, please discuss it in the article's talk page. GodofDemonwars ( talk) 00:18, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Doctor Who series 2 soundtrack.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

Hi there,
How did you determine that the consensus for this move was not the proposed title? Spekkios ( talk) 21:00, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
Regarding the close at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ukraine#Requested move 7 February 2023. The statement about the decision completely ignores the important point about the difference between the names in article titles and parenthetic disambiguation strings, as well as the cited precedent, citing examples that are not analogies for this at all (on top of that, Istanbul and Constantinople are completely different names, not just a spelling variation in a city name that hasn’t changed in over a millennium). It seems a completely unsatisfactory rationale, as in it gives no indication that you read the proposal or considered the points made in it.source] ]] — Michael Z. 20:52, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
Thanks for taking the time to read that novel. I'd just like to know what arguments you found most compelling, so I can understand more about Wikipedia guidelines.
Your reasoning on the talk page itself is that the common name may change from Maize to Corn, but it hasn't yet, similar to Iroquois → Haudenosaunee. However, the arguments used to show that Iroquois is still the most commonly used name is the exact sort used to show why Corn is the most commonly used name. Most relevantly, even in scientific and scholarly papers Maize is used about 1/3rd as much as Corn, as shown in the RM.
Could you explain the differences between the two situations? Without knowing more about your point of view, one could look at these two examples and assume that the default is 'no consensus' when a tough decision needs to be made. OuroCat ( talk) 23:12, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

Hello, Sceptre. Regarding your closure at Aguascalientes City, I notice you wrote that "documentary evidence has been provided to the contrary" only for Chihuahua City, which you exempted... but an even greater volume of documentary evidence was provided for Oaxaca City, which you didn't. Was that intentional, and if so could you share the rationale? Thanks for any clarification. ╠╣uw [ talk 17:09, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
I'll add that a lot of evidence was introduced for Queretaro City, as well. Red Slash 17:12, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
Sceptre, I must applaud you for your efforts. But I think there’s a bit of confusion lurking here. There is no community consensus, nor local consensus in this RM, that says that demonstration of some common usage of a given natural disambiguation for a topic means that this natural disambiguation, and not parenthetic disambiguation of the undisputed most common name, must be used as the title. As noted in the discussion, NATURAL merely notes that the natural disambiguation may be preferred. Well, in all of these cases, without any exceptions, consensus in this RM clearly prefers the parenthetic disambiguation. Please close according to community and local consensus. Thank you. — В²C ☎ 02:19, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

Hi @ Sceptre! I landed on your userpage following a recent ANI post of yours and I just wanted to say that I am really quite impressed with the visual structure.

Hi. I would ask you to reconsider this close. The nomination and support votes were based on a flawed premise, that Confait identified as a trans woman. As I said in the discussion, there is no reliable evidence for this. An editor added it to the article a few years ago and the editors who supported the nomination clearly just supported without checking the evidence (or lack of). In any case, this is a well-known murder in British criminal history and the victim is invariably referred to as Maxwell Confait. We cannot apply modern ideas to something that happened fifty years ago. The rename is a clear violation of WP:COMMONNAME. Thanks. -- Necrothesp ( talk) 11:18, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

Please rethink or undo this close. Closers ought to know how to intepret policy and assess arguments under the lens of policy, but your closing summary indicates you don't know how to do that, and instead ignored policy based on the local consensus. TITLECHANGES can't be used to oppose change just for the sake of opposing change, and all the other policy-based arguments (COMMONNAME, CONCISE) supported the move.

Your close at Talk:Federal prosecution of Donald Trump (classified documents case) was way too early; it has literally been only a day and a half since the indictment, which is not enough time for discussion to evolve.

Hi @ Sceptre
I am reaching out to you because of your previous participation in one of the discussions regarding the reliability and neutrality of HuffPost/Pink News/ProPublica as sources used on Wikipedia.
Currently, there is an ongoing issue with the Edelman Family Foundation section in the Joseph Edelman Wikipedia article. The section appears to be biased and lacks a balanced representation of the foundation's activities, as it primarily focuses on a single controversial donation while neglecting to mention the organization's numerous other significant contributions to various causes.
I would like to invite you to participate in the discussion on the BLP Noticeboard to address the concerns surrounding the section's neutrality and explore ways to improve its content. Llama Tierna ( talk) 18:15, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

You're receiving this one-off message as you're either a member of WikiProject Yorkshire, you've expressed an interest in a previous Leeds meetup years ago, or (for about 4 of you), we've met :)

Please also invite any Wikimedia people you know (or have had wiki dealings with) – spread the word! Hope to see you there.

Hello there.
It's been a strange year. I let our relationship lapse and I'm sorry. It's mostly, but not entirely, because I abjectly refuse to use Discord anymore and I forgot my Matrix credentials.
Email would be good. Jitsi coffee dates would be good. I still think of you. But if you don't want to anymore, I completely understand.

Per a request by SnowFire ( talk · contribs), because of your participation in Talk:Michael Larson#Requested move 22 March 2024, you are being brought up to date on developments. After the article " Press Your Luck scandal" was written, " Michael Larson" was turned into a redirect. That redirect has since been undone (though mischaracterized as a "stealth copy & paste move"), and there are now two active discussions in which you may wish to participate, but might otherwise be unaware of:
I'm certainly involved in these discussions and will be happy to converse with you there if you're inclined. My apologies if this is undue, but it was implied that I have been negligent in my canvassing. — Fourthords | =Λ= | 00:27, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
Sceptre, at Talk:1933 NFL Championship Game#Requested move 3 May 2024 and Talk:AFC Championship Game#Requested move 29 April 2024 you simply said "not moved", without saying how you weighed the arguments, and without indicating whether you saw a consensus for uppercase, versus no consensus. Could you please expand on those closing statements? Dicklyon ( talk) 22:06, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
An editor has asked for a Move review of AFC Championship Game. Because you closed the move discussion for this page, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the move review. Dicklyon ( talk) 14:12, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
