Hi Left guide, just to let you know, script is useful for removing requests once completed, rather than using done template (as there is no auto-archiving to speak of, only human intervention). I've since removed the requests you completed with this edit. Regards, CNC (talk) CNC (talk) 09:58, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@CommunityNotesContributor: Hi, thanks for informing me (and for removing my completed moves). I wasn't sure what the protocol is there, so I've been adding the {{done}} template as a courtesy to the requester so they can see for a short while that it's completed. Also wasn't previously aware that it must be done manually with no bot; I'll simply remove them as I complete them going forward. Thanks again. Left guide (talk) 10:08, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Passing comment, but there is a clerking bot at RM/TR now (and has been for a couple of months). Tenshi! (Talk page) 12:26, 27 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Tenshi Hinanawi: Got it, thanks! Left guide (talk) 14:58, 27 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oh my bad wasn't aware of that, looks like my advise is two months out of date then :) CNC (talk) 08:32, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Characters of the Kirby series. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review.

Hi. I think the anon user who made this request was a sock, or more probably an unlogged-in alias of User:Anishelar, whom I've just blocked for three months for disruptive editing. Unfortunately s/he doesn't get the need for a review of his/her drafts, even after several warnings. I won't bother to try to sort out the mess this time; it's a lot better than most of the other stuff s/he's produced. Just keep an eye out for anyone requesting technical moves of Indian films in the near future - it could be because they know there's already a draft that's failed review.

@Deb: Ok thanks for informing me about this. Left guide (talk) 14:37, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The reason no one was able to "prove" the existence of the pictured newspapers is because no one even attempted to check Zimbabwean newspaper archives. Given the keep-majority (5-4, and one "redirect" didn't even provide any explanation at all) and that the discussion was controversial, I would've expected an admin to close this... BeanieFan11 (talk) 01:27, 6 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello BeanieFan11, I understand that the numbers of votes were relatively even, and that the discussion can be reasonably seen as controversial, but the close summarized a thoughtful analysis of the arguments based on their weighting in relevant policies, so I still stand behind it. If you believe my judgment was in error, I invite you to open a deletion review to summon community input. Best, Left guide (talk) 01:40, 6 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

An editor has asked for a deletion review of David Gillow. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Ike Lek (talk) 01:54, 6 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Left guide, I just wanted to let you know there is a discussion over at Template talk:Uw-gaming1 regarding potential improvements made to the Uw-gaming template series. Please feel free to leave any suggestions there. Thanks! Gommeh 🎮 17:33, 6 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Gommeh: Hello and thanks for notifying me. I mainly chimed in at the TfD to save it from deletion, which seemed like overkill for this situation. Consider opening a discussion at the idea lab village pump to solicit community feedback from people interested in this type of thing; perhaps say it's your idea-in-progress so folks there understand the relevance. Good luck. Left guide (talk) 15:37, 7 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Left guide,

You should not have reverted this edit here as this AFD was posted on the wrong day and was correctly listed on tomorrow's daily log. It should not have been listed on two different daily log pages and was correctly being removed from today's daily log as it is due to be closed on August 10th, not the 9th. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 23:15, 9 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Liz: Ok, thanks for catching that. This was discussed in greater detail with jlwoodwa at User talk:jlwoodwa#AfD procedural fault where it turns out I made that change based on an incomplete understanding of the situation. I was going to self-revert upon reading this knowing it's on two logs, but it looks like you got to it first. Thanks for fixing, and sorry about the mishap. Left guide (talk) 23:23, 9 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Did you mean to move it there? It looks like we may have done the same request at WP:RMTR — Tenshi! (Talk page) 23:12, 10 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Tenshi Hinanawi: Hi, thanks for flagging. No, I did not intend to move the page there. I suspect the mover script glitched since we were both attempting to do the same move at the same time at the WP:RMTR request. Let me go back and try to fix it. Left guide (talk) 23:17, 10 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Fixed, all is well now. Left guide (talk) 23:20, 10 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"When two page movers collide, script issues ensue" or something like that. Tenshi! (Talk page) 23:24, 10 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Tenshi Hinanawi: yes precisely, keep up the good work with page-moving. Left guide (talk) 23:28, 10 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
