		The Nigeria Barnstar of National Merit
		George Santayana once stated, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it". Your work on the history of the kings of Benin (Ẹdo) is quite heartwarming. It's rare to find many Nigerian Wikimedians dedicated to properly documenting our history as a people on Wikipedia, but you are one of the rare few. More strength!

Hi Vanderwaalforces :) You declined this redirect to Calypso class at WP:AFC/R, and I don’t want to override you by just creating it myself. However, I was wondering why it was declined - it seems like a cheap {{R from alternative hyphenation}} to me, and is a form used in entries at the target list. All the best, ‍—‍a smart kitten_[meow] 14:52, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@A smart kitten Hi there. That redirect makes to sense to me, if it does to you, please create it. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 15:13, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
