Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Correction to previous election announcement[edit]
Just a quick correction to the prior message about the 2022 MILHIST coordinator election!

The voting will occur here; sorry about the need for a second message and the inadvertent omission from the prior one. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 17:41, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You have now done a considerable amount of editing since you filed an unblock request at UTRS. Does that mean that the unblock is no longer needed? If so, perhaps you may like to go back to UTRS and say that the request can be closed, to save administrators from spending time on repeatedly coming back to check it.
