A request
Would it be allowable to have Eric Corbett's user-page restored, with ban/sock tags included? GoodDay (talk) 16:05, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

Same request (as I wrote already on Eric Corbett's talk before being pointed here): Readers may be interested in the person behind a FA, and to only feed them tags seems sad. I don't care about these tags, - have them if you have to, but please without loosing the other information. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:24, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
