Circular redirects

Hello, Northern Moonlight,

I'm not sure what has happened here but I was looking at the Move log and looking at Retreat of Republic of China to Taiwan and Kuomintang's retreat to Taiwan and they seem to redirect to each other. Where is the article involved in this redirect madness? Can you sort out these page moves you made so that redirects point to an actual target article? Thank you. Liz Read!

Okay, so this is what happened:
  1. The article was originally called Retreat of the government of the Republic of China to Taiwan.
  2. Someone renamed it to Kuomintang's retreat to Taiwan as marked it as a minor edit.
  3. Needless to say, someone objected in the talk page. The original mover conceded and proposed Retreat of the Republic of China to Taiwan as a compromise.
  4. I moved it to Retreat of Republic of China to Taiwan because I was dumb and didn’t notice I forgot the the in the article name.
  5. @Lightoil: did a round-robin history swap and the page disappeared, which I absolutely have no idea why. I think you should ask them what happened. Update: I started a thread on User talk:Lightoil.

I fixed it sorry about that I saw it and was not sure what to do Lightoil (talk) 03:42, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

The problem is now fixed. NM 03:41, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

Just a heads up

@Northern Moonlight: evening. There is currently a vote going on at Talk:Lucy Letby#RFC on Lead sentence about whether to exclude calling her a serial killer. You previously commented [1] on the Letby talk page on this matter saying: WP:TRUTH. If you want an RS that calls her a murderer, see 1, 2.. So thought you might be interested? 213.31.104.219 (talk) 21:55, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
