Draft:Clan Watson

I removed your Notability and COI tags from Clan Watson. I did a bit of editing and think I addressed your concerns and yes, your tags were originally justified. If you think there are any other issues, please let me know. Yours ever, Czar Brodie~commonswiki (talk) 04:11, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

I also object to placing Clan Watson in draft. I think that was overkill. Would be good if you could move it back and tag it with any issues it has. Yours ever, Czar Brodie~commonswiki (talk) 19:46, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

Hello!

Hi, MrsSnoozyTurtle,

I saw a comment you made on a User talk page last year and I realized that I hadn't run into you in months. I hope you are okay and just busy with life. Wikipedia will be here if you should get the urge to return to editing. But you are missed! Take care. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 03:10, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

I just noticed that too. The last edit at the user page did say No longer involved. Jay 💬 07:23, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
