INDIA

I'm curious as to why you removed the nomination template from INDIA, although the discussion is still open. Cremastra (talk) 19:51, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

whoops sorry, I did not see. Josethewikier (talk) 20:37, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

No worries. Just be careful in future. Cremastra (talk) 20:38, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

Removing tags and inappropriate moving

Hi Josethewikier,

I saw you recently remove tags from articles like deletion tag, and requested move notice in articles when a discussion is initiated. Please don't do it again especially as you did to George Floyd Square, which in a normal case, you withdraw the nomination if you wete the nominator by writing it on the discussion page or using  Request withdrawn which is yielded by typing {{Withdrawn}} It will help the closer too. Cheers! Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 02:50, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

I see. Thanks for telling me that. Cheers. Josethewikier (talk) 03:03, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
