Question

I was looking through User:HasteurBot/G13 OptIn Notifications and saw [1]. Is there a reason for this? Can I remove this non-entity from the opt in because it doesn't seem like a right fit. Hasteur (talk) 12:46, 26 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Hasteur: That was my previous username if you're wondering, but please do feel free to remove it :) -- There'sNoTime (to explain) 12:54, 26 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hm... Do you want to be opted in on this name? Hasteur (talk) 13:59, 26 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
