Status query[edit]
FenrisAureus, APK, where does this review stand? So far as I can see, nothing has been posted here for four weeks, and what has been posted seems to be templates without any definitive decisions one way or the other. FenrisAureus, are you still interested in pursuing this review? If not, we can arrange to have the nomination put back into the pool awaiting reviewers with no loss of seniority. Thanks.

- That would probably be best. Personal circumstances have prevented me from spending much time editing lately. Apologies. — FenrisAureus ▲ (she/they) (talk) 00:25, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
