Due to IRL commitments related to the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic I will have limited and unpredictable time for on-wiki participation for the foreseeable future. I will get email notification for messages left on my talk page and will try to follow up on such when circumstances permit, but regular pings and notifications are unlikely to be noticed any time soon. |
