This is a bit of an WP:OOPS - I draftified Ukranian National News because it didn't really have enough references, but didn't spot that it was recently created. Apologies for the snappiness. Won't template you, obviously, but just to make you aware. (Also, there's a typo in the title in Ukrainian.) Thanks and apologies again. Fermiboson (talk) 11:02, 4 December 2025 (UTC)

You should use edit summaries to explain what you're doing -- why did you move the page to draft space?

You shouldn't act with such haste. You moved the page to draft space just forty-six seconds after it was created. And you've left me with a mess to clean up.

How can your actions be rationalized? -- mikeblas (talk) 11:05, 4 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi. This is too minor a change to tussle over, so I will leave your change in place. I clearly see that an anchor can be added to a section, but since we (collectively) link to sections a lot without doing this, I think an explanation for why it's being anchored should have been given in an edit summary. If I was to attempt to read your mind, I would guess it's because there are over 40 articles linking to the redirect, and thus it's kind of a safety measure. But that's what's great about edit summaries, so we as fellow editors don't have to attempt to read minds. :) Happy holidays! Stefen 𝕋ower ^{Huddle • Handiwerk} 22:15, 21 December 2025 (UTC)

Before I respond in earnest, let me ask for clarification: are you just trying to ask me to write more detailed edit summaries in some round-about way? -- mikeblas (talk) 01:29, 22 December 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for pinging me about removal of the erroneously cited Mr. and Mrs. North and for catching that error. My failure was in using the wrong abbreviation in the citation. I typically use "tt" for the McNeil book, which was already cited on the page, but I see now that "mcneil" was used for the same source on the page. I apologize for my error.

Your edit summary said, "remove unreferenced additions by User:Teblick", but "Our Miss Brooks (1952–1956) on CBS" was already on the page; I just added Mr. and Mrs. North on the same day. I know that is a minor point, but I wanted to clarify it.

By the way, I see now that my addition contained a typo: "CBX" instead of "CBS". At least that mistake has been removed, too. Eddie Blick (talk) 20:49, 1 February 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for the fixes! Oh, it looks like you haven't made any fixes. -- mikeblas (talk) 18:43, 2 February 2026 (UTC)

Hey Mike, I looked at WAKR after you ran the cleanup script and noticed there were several worldradiohistory.com links not removed and basically bypassed, because the citations were nested inside {{unbulleted list citebundle}}. It's not a problem, I removed them and did further ref cleanup in the process. It's something I'll have to keep in mind if my bot request is realized (hopefully sooner than later!).

I've been working on some code to handle parsing the nested templates like {{unbulleted list citebundle}}, but I haven't had much time (or motivation) to spend on it. -- mikeblas (talk) 19:32, 24 February 2026 (UTC)
