NYC stations: Elyria–Cleveland
I deleted all but Template:NYC stations: Elyria–Cleveland which still has two transclusions. If you still want this one deleted, fix the two transclusions and tag it with db-xfd (or ping me). Thanks! Plastikspork ―Œ (talk) 13:08, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

WP:UAA Report for Shreya chapter247
Greetings! I saw that you reported Shreya chapter247 at WP:UAA as a username violation. Please be aware that per WP:ISU, usernames that contain a company name but also contain a personal name are expressly permitted, such as in this case. I denied the WP:UAA on these grounds, but blocked the account anyway for failure to abide by WP:PAID, which they had been advised of on their talk page. --Hammersoft (talk) 14:10, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Because of the holidays the next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 11 January 2021.

Changes later this week
 * There is no new MediaWiki version this week or next week.

Future changes
