WP:RFP/EVC
I there. I'm a new admin who's just made their first edits at WP:RFP/EVC. I'd be grateful if you'd feedback to me whether it was appropriate for me to have approved two users, and declined a third, all as part of one request (diff). I note there is still another outstanding request you were dealing with from a different editor attending the same event who had only made a couple of edits thus far. I didn't want to interfere with that one, even though the event is tomorrow. At the moment it looks like there will be more event coordinators than participants!
