MR or RM?
[edit ]In the interest of not cluttering what is likely to be a long discussion I'm posting here. Regarding this comment, that RM was closed on procedural grounds less than 7 days (which is the minimum required). Instead of trying to take that to a WP:MR, asking it to be re-opened, its less WP:BUREAUCRATIC to just start a new RM. And in this case, the RM is only started after a WP:RFCBEFORE [1].VR (Please ping on reply) 22:24, 17 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
- @Vice regent: Someone responded to my remark, pointing out the specific rationale for the previous discussion being rapidly closed, so I have withdrawn my remark. I was off-base. I should study the background more carefully before making such a remark. I think it is fine for this to proceed as an RM, although I still haven't studied the history very carefully. — BarrelProof (talk) 05:26, 18 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Oops
[edit ]Thanks for catching this. I didn't think to check for the form with dots. 100.36.106.199 (talk) 19:48, 21 February 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
- Thank you for the note. Yes, the dots make a difference. — BarrelProof (talk) 19:49, 21 February 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

About my comment
[edit ]Hey, I just wanted to let you that I didn't set my comment at the top. When I replied, it defaulted to being at the top rather than actual me placing the reply there. Rager7 (talk) 21:43, 1 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
- I see. Thanks for responding. I didn't realize the reply function operated that way. I generally don't use it (but I'm trying it now!). — BarrelProof (talk) 21:46, 1 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
- @BarrelProof No worries, it happens to me whenever I comment. Rager7 (talk) 21:48, 1 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
