A Trusted List Request was sent some time ago. At present, I am working on sorting out some misinformation about this line. Another member has rejected the planned merge. I will touch base with you about this profile via private message to see if we can finish up this profile.
I think I unintentionally approved a merge request. If I did, I didn't mean to because there were some questions I had about it. I don't recall which match it was though. Thanks for your input.
