Welcome to my talk page. Here are some tips to help you communicate with me:
- Please continue any conversation on the page where it was started.
- Thus, if I have left a message on your talk page please DO NOT post a reply here. I will have your talk page on watch and will note when you have replied.
- Add or respond to an existing conversation under the existing heading.
- Indent your comment when replying by using an appropriate number of colons ':'.
- Create a new heading if the original conversation is archived.
- To initiate a new conversation on this page .
- If you are expressing a concern about edits made by RussBot, it is extremely helpful if you include a link to a specific page or, even better, a link to a diff showing the actual edit that the bot made. This makes it much easier to diagnose and correct problems.
- You should sign your comments. You can do this automatically by typing four tildes (~~~~).

(T301928) - When viewing deleted revisions or diffs on Special:Undelete a back link to the undelete page for the associated page is now present. (T284114)

James Riordan[edit]
Hi R'n'B, Are you planning on starting the James Riordan (biographer) article and adding it to the James Riordan disambig page? If so, may I suggest a broader title? Looking at Riordan's website, it seems he writes in a number of other genres in addition to biographies. - CorbieVreccan ☊ ☼ 17:52, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
- I have no such plans. Nor do I have any opinion about what the ultimate title of such an article should be. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 17:55, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

Arbitration
- Remedy 2 of the St Christopher case has been rescinded following a motion. The remedy previously authorised administrators to place a ban on single-purpose accounts who were disruptively editing on the article St Christopher Iba Mar Diop College of Medicine or related pages from those pages.
