ITN archives

Hi. I hope you are doing well. I am glad to tell you that Wikipedia:In the news/Posted/Archives are now fully available, with all the vandalism/disruptive edits removed. While creating the bot for the archival process, I went through a lot of the older posts, you are one of the editors whose name popped quite often in ITN in "back in the day", so I personally wanted to let you know about the archives its nice to see that you are still active! —usernamekiran (talk) 21:52, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

Thoughts, please.

Morning. ‘Recently Active Admins’ says you’re recently active. Have you got a minute spare for a NewUsers log that flags my concern?

Ain’t a single ‘beneficial to the wiki’ way that I can see that going! Wanted a second thought before I SPI this, in case that’s blockable on its own, or something.

Cheers. MM (Give me info.) ^(Victories) 08:37, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
