t.ibarra, post #22: I read post #20 twice before replying, because I had assumed the opposite. Practical note that does not fit anywhere else. Whatever you conclude from this topic, write down what you did and when. The single most useful thing in your own records is not any individual result; it is that they are dated and consecutive.

Review date disputes: if a maintained page's review date is approaching and it has not been updated, post a note so the maintainers notice.
