- Coordinator comment I've trimmed for length and also added the initial link. We can't exceed 1,025 characters. It's at 1,035 right now. Reading it over hastily, it may need some tweaking so that it reads well as a whole. No reflection on the nomination of course. Feel free to edit it yourself, MisawaSakura, or the scheduling coordinator for October will do it.--Wehwalt (talk) 01:56, 22 July 2025 (UTC)
