• Busypencil (talk) 21:35, 15 December 2021 (UTC) If this can be added to the agenda, I'd like to ask how I can remove the copyediting-needed banner over my article about Elizabeth Hayes. Since the banner was placed there, a Wiki copyeditor has eliminated contractions and removed a nickname. Apparently, those were the only changes required. Nonetheless, the banner remains.

• @Busypencil: Sure, we can talk about this on the agenda.--Pharos (talk) 22:18, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
