After User:Littleb2009 creates a new section on this page
Unless making new sections is not allowed. Otherwise, I'm kinda smart about this. --littleb2009 (she/her) (talk • contribs) 18:43, 4 June 2021 (UTC) • You can make a new section, but I think it should go in the 2021 section. But then you wouldn't have made a new section... I think I may have just created a paradox. HugoH17 (talk) 10:09, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
