Hannibal Travis
Comment: To clarify, I do not think Sahbanda2, the draft's creator, is writing about themselves and now regret using the "resume" decline message because it does not convey what I intended. The content related to the subject's experience, which is what one puts one their resume, is entirely inappropriate for an encyclopedia. S0091 (talk) 18:59, 31 October 2026 (UTC)
