Okay, I'm going to finish the process, and it simply won't be perfect because of the apparent limitations of the software or of the design of the software. I am leaving Mamadoutadioukone alone because it's the way I want it. I may make a note in the open report just so others know what happened and in case I'm not the one who finishes clerking it. I will replace the open report in Sibtain (which, as I said, is a duplicate of the archive) with the open report at Mamadoutadioukone using copy/paste. I will then make a note in that report. I think it's better to have the note in the report than in the talk page because I don't think most of us look at the talk page. I'm going to do that now because I have to take off this morning and I don't want it sitting the say it is.
Thanks again for your help, and I apologize for causing such a commotion. I now know that what I wanted is not possible, and I'll adjust my future actions accordingly.
