GoingBatty I'll wait 1-2 days, waiting for any objections. -- Magioladitis (talk) 06:31, 10 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea. Thought they've been rectified, but it looks like only Batty is concerned. No errors so far. Good to go. OccultZone (Talk • Contributions • Log) 12:21, 10 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

GoingBatty the delay is only just to give the opportunity to everyone willing to contest the addition to the MoS to do it. -- Magioladitis (talk) 14:05, 10 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
