- I will approve this task in a couple of days, provided that no objections will be raised. Lymantria (talk) 09:45, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
- I don't really see it do useful edits. It's somewhat pointless to edit Listeria lists ([1], etc) and one should avoid to edit archive pages [2][3]. --- Jura 10:16, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
- Discussion should take place at User talk:OlafJanssen. Lymantria (talk) 10:21, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
- I think it should be un-approved. Shall I make a formal request? --- Jura 10:26, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
- No. Let's reopen this discussion. Lymantria (talk) 08:07, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
