If you're up for it, I have another 5425 files to be moved per the closed RM discussion at Talk:1912 World Hard Court Championships – Mixed Doubles. The list is linked there. Can you put in a bot approval request based on that? And maybe you can give me some tips on best ways to use AWB for the cleanup edits for the districts and these. I'm a relative novice at regular expressions, and end up spending too much time with manual checking to avoid errors that I have a hard time coding for (like in File: names among other things).

Why is ProcrastinatingReader the approver, and why so slow? Are there others we can ask to help move these forward? Dicklyon ( talk) 02:57, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
Not sure if you're just taking a break but the tennis mass-move has stopped at about 85% completion. Just checking that this isn't unintentional, as the templates can't really be updated till the job is 100% complete. Sod25 ( talk) 03:25, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

can I write about anything? -- Wackyjackamo ( talk) 14:36, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
Hello, I have proposed the update of the entry on Sumer, by re-phrasing the whole first paragraph of the subsection "Fall and transformation". First, I have added more relevant source for the soil salinity issue and added the sentence about the shift of Euphrates bed as a possible reason for the abandonment of most Sumerian cities. Hope it sounds OK in this version. 79.184.103.189 ( talk) 22:51, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
👋🤗 Hello I like to just say it very clear about this one at once but I want to just think 💬 it's the 😍 usual easy-going and laid-back tasks. -- Glen98 ( talk) 13:42, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tennis#Cleanup edits. I've got a pretty reliable set of replaces now for the tennis articles. Still under review, but good as far as I can see so far (maybe not complete, but few or no false positives in the downcasings). There are nearly 17,000 relevant articles, not just the ones moved by Task 13A. Dicklyon ( talk) 04:44, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
Hi Tol, thank you for taking your time to review my draft. First, i'll like to find out if it's the notability of the person or the verifiability of the article that is the issue, because you seem to mention all three. Secondly, I would appreciate your help in pointing out what makes this article look like an advert or what makes its tone not to be neutral. I took out time to proofread over and over, i also used several software to check the neutrality of the article before putting out the draft, i would appreciate any help as it would make me be a better writer.

Hello Tol,
I found you in the list from the Wikipedia:Growth Team features/Mentor list which I went through completely and chosen you mostly by your tech affinity. I'm specialized in IT topics and work in favor of civil rights and privacy as you can see as part of my self-introduction on my user page. Now I'm looking for a mentor to have a starting point here in the community. ARoseWolf is sadly not technical and thus I would flood her with IT topics.
Are you available for mentorship? Are you by chance available on IRC?

18:14, 15 February 2022 (UTC)About the proxying warning here, myself (not an admin), I would leave that issue alone for now. I urge you not to look at the article and talk history for Katherine Delmar Burke School. It is a lengthy, mind-numbing morass of IP ineptitude, unbridled enthusiasm, and repeated blind, head-long rushes into Wikipedia editing culture. To sum up:
Finally registering as 'Factsforsure44' is a good step:
Part of the problem was that they thought they could fundamentally rewrite the whole school article. Edits on the article and especially on the talk page (the last version before protection being here; and I told you not to look), demonstrates they were trying to use it as an erasable white-board for notes, drafts and discussion about the article. I don't expect their good faith efforts will result in any of the changes they wish, but that personal sandbox is a good place for them to work things out for the time being, as they go through the Wikipedia university of hard knocks.
That the multiple IPs are now editing under one registered account is to be seen as a blessing. Sincerely, signed, Willondon ( talk) 21:11, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our AFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest.
Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way?
