Hello! Could you please edit your older talk page archives (specifically, archives 1, 3, 4, 9, 19, 24, 30, 31, 32 and 33) so that they don't transclude Template:Tl? This template is deprecated and we're trying to clean up all uses of it before it gets deleted. Thanks! – 🌻 Hilst (talk | contribs) 12:42, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

Adding One Piece to Highest-Grossing Franchises
Hello! As you could probably tell, I'm here to add the One Piece franchise to the list of highest-grossing franchises, but I wasn't really sure how. In 2024, there are plenty of sources that suggest One Piece should be somewhere on this list (most notably in the top 30 somewhere), and I tried to do it but I don't think my html skills are up to snuff anymore sadly. I was wondering if someone with more experience could either help me do it or add it themselves? Here are some of the sources that suggest One Piece should be here: https://www.33rdsquare.com/one-pieces-total-franchise-value-is-estimated-at-20-5-billion-as-of-2023/

DOB RD
Hi Fish and karate, I found tha the DOB has a source, and has been in the page since 2009 at least - I think removing it at the subject's request is reasonable, but deleting it seems hard to justify - thoughts? Vanamonde93 (talk) 16:58, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
- Hi Template:Yo - if it’s sourced then no objections. I was emailed asking to remove that edit for a different (privacy-related) reason due to the edit summary, not because it was an unsourced DOB. Cheers, Fish+Karate 20:01, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
- Understood, and I let the edit-summary remain deleted assuming that was the case. Best, Vanamonde93 (talk) 20:10, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

Featured article review for Edward Low
I have nominated Edward Low for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets the featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" in regards to the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Hog Farm Talk 01:53, 19 May 2025 (UTC))
- Thanks. It makes me sad that it’ll probably get delisted, but the standards these days are such I doubt it would be possible to retain its status. Fish+Karate 12:41, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
