 * , please post a permanent link of the bot's contributions page which shows the edits. If you have any questions, please do ask away. -- The SandDoctor Talk 03:26, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks The SandDoctor . I've done the 50 edits, no problems detected. --NicoV (Talk on frwiki) 21:17, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

Under normal circumstances, I would prefer to leave the close for someone else. However, given the backlog, lack of recent BAG activity (myself included), and the fact that this task is uncontroversial and based on how well the trial went, I am inclined to make an exception for this. As per usual, if amendments to - or clarifications regarding - this approval are needed, please start a discussion on the talk page and ping. -- The SandDoctor Talk 02:57, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
