Kyle Peake All the issues should be addressed. The Ultimate Boss (talk) 23:10, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

The Ultimate Boss Thank you for having a go, I have pointed out above where things remain unaddressed. --K. Peake 05:59, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

The Ultimate Boss I can you have been active but not completed the fixes yet... please try to soon. --K. Peake 07:50, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

The Ultimate Boss ✓ Pass and I added the three remaining changes for you since they were only minor, but I advise you in the future to not ignore when reviewers mention you for only a few fixes because it is common practice to respond in scenarios like these where it's on your part to do so, especially when easy. --K.
