- Hi! I'm afraid I'm not going to have time to look at this in the next few weeks, so you'll probably have to wait for another reviewer to look at it. Perhaps leave a message on the talk page of the article explaining these things? Lijil (talk) 08:45, 27 May 2026 (UTC)
- I understand and wanted to answer the questions. I just posted the information to the article's talk page as well. Starlighsky (talk) 13:37, 27 May 2026 (UTC)
