Is this a good time for TFA? How about July 17? - Dank (push to talk) 22:56, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Hey @Dank. July 17 would be fine. Best, voorts (talk/contributions) 00:13, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

@Voorts: I was thinking about writing a blurb (condensing it to 925 to 1025 characters including spaces). Can you pick out two or three things you want me to focus on? - Dank (push to talk) 20:59, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

Ah ... now I see you're away. How does this look? - Dank (push to talk) 04:03, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

CW 24 News

Hi Voorts, I saw you moved CW 24 News to draft on May 29 (for good reasons!) it was "merged back" by GQO on May 30, but I just found today that it still had numerous problems. I corrected several, making the article very skinny. And I'm in serious doubt re. the Order of the Red Banner of Labour, but can't find hard info that this is made up. _W^\|/_haledad (Talk to me) 18:39, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
