August 20 blitz progress table entry
I wasn't paying attention to the Requests part of the blitz numbers, but checked not that far from midnight on the March number, which was 63. I'm heading off to bed now, so no time to check the history of the Requests page—besides, I'm not sure whether we're counting total requests or only those before August 18, and of those, all of the ones still there, or only those not yet claimed for copyediting, so I'll let one of the Coordinators figure it out.

The new copyedit request from February 2019 is semi-genuine: it was placed on an AfC article and dated at the time, but it's not asking for a copyedit, just wanting someone to take care of the bare URLs in all of the refs. I couldn't remember which is the template for doing that or I would have substituted it myself; as it is, running one of those apps that fill out references would only take a minute and fix the problem.

 * Thanks, ; I can't figure out the instructions about counting requests for a blitz, since it's a dynamic list. Someone took care of those bare URLs (reFill is good for that), and I G6ed the empty category. All the best,  Mini  apolis  12:50, 21 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Sorry, my bad. I wanted to try doing it a little differently but circumstances forced my absence, and of course I didn't mention it to anyone. Sorry for the confusion and thanks for sterilizing that seed of chaos I'd unwittingly planted. – Reidgreg (talk) 18:37, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
