Not sure how to proceed
I created two RMs here and here and there seems to be a solid opposition to both moves. I would like if withdrawing the RMs would be the best solution here. I would also like to know if my edits are borderline disruptive because that is one door I do not want to open regarding that. Any help is appreciated.

Having issues with my Discord account
I am trying to log into the Discord Wikipedia server, but I am having issues. I know my email, phone number, and password, but I can't seem to get in. When I try logging in with email, it asks for a phone number, which says it is taken. When I try logging in with my phone number, it asks for an email, which says it is taken. Can you help me figure out what is going on and how to fix it? Thanks, Interstellarity (talk) 13:39, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

On the upcoming future transformation of User:SethAllen623/Vital articles/Level/5
My apologies for the lack of activity as a WP user. But I have to tell you, I've been pondering plans for the transformation of my Level-5 Vital Articles list to meet the project's current standards. Version 0.7 might help in giving me ideas for such a transformation, but there are many topics included that you will rule ineligible for admission into my list.

I haven't covered everything here, but this list of quotas should be enough. Anyways, I'm submitting the quotas offered above for your approval.

 * Hi @SethAllen623 and thanks for reaching out to me. My only suggestion would be to use round numbers. For example, by using multiples of 10, 20, 25, 50, and 100 for smaller quotas, and multiples of 100, 125, 200, 250, 500, and 1000 for larger quotas. You do not have to run my suggestions through me, although I'd be happy to give you input. I think that once you complete your level 5 list with 100,000 articles, we could possibly change the quota for the main list of vital articles to 100,000 since it is a multiple of 10. I really like the idea of editors creating their own lists of what they consider to be vital articles and I think in general, will help improve the main list, which in turn, will improve your list and cycle continues on. Thank you for taking the time to make a list. Interstellarity (talk) 01:09, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
