Hi.

One way to contact me is to edit this page and add a section at the bottom (click here to do that). If your topic concerns a particular Wikipedia article, please mention the article name. To cause your edit to be signed and timestamped when you save it, please sign it with four tilde characters (like this: ~~~~). If you don't do any of this I'll probably be able to figure it out anyhow, but I would appreciate your trying to avoid making responding to you difficult for me.

I will generally respond on this page inside the section which has been added unless you request otherwise. Please watch this page if you leave me a message.

Humans of New York Revert

Regarding your recent revert to my edit. The number of followers is 12 million, not 12.41.45.12.234 (talk) 07:25, 4 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

OK. I see that it has been unreverted. The revert was done during a WP:Huggle session, which only gives a porthole view of the edit. I didn't see a supporting source cited in support of your changee which I reverted (I would have looked at it if one had been cited), and I didn't take the time to drop out off huggle and investigate further.

Textual solutions

Hello, my friend. I just wanted to say that User talk:Textual solutions was trying to be constructive. You issued a warning after he tried to add categories (it seemed). He posted at your usertalk (top of your page), but you did not reply. Perhaps a welcome note (or even a personal note) along with the warning would have been best. That way he would have had links to learn how to edit. He arrived at Wikipedia, is perhaps an academic, tried to be constructive, was warned twice, posted at an admin page (after an invitation by you to do so "...If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page..."), never got a reply, was never welcomed, was reported at UAA for having a promotional username (which it is not), and in the end never helped in any way. I feel we may have chased him away. Best, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 22:28, 5 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to have missed that when it appeared. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 22:48, 5 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

category Literary Museums (moved here from the top)

G'day! There are some missing cross-references in the category Literary Museums — Preceding unsigned comment added by Textual solutions (talk • contribs) 07:09, 4 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've moved this here from the top of this page, where I have missed noticing it until my attention was called to it in the above section. I'm afraid that I know nothing about that topic, and I would be likely to contribute confusion if I added items to . Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 22:48, 5 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Strange IP edits

On 3 April, C.Fred blocked 75.154.161.210 who you had previously reverted at The Biggest Loser Asia (season 2). I happened across the article after this edit, which substantially restored content that you reverted, put the article into Category:Articles passing format parameter to Infobox television. The new editor is using a different IP pool, but is from the same ISP, and I'm not sure where to go with this. --AussieLegend (✉) 15:46, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I'm pretty busy on other things just now, so won't be able to spend time on this. I'm not a very organized vandal fighter -- I just revert/warn/block as seems appropriate and move on. I don't do much follow up. Wikipedia:Counter-Vandalism Unit looks like it might be a good next step for you. Cheers. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 05:08, 13 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the response, and the suggestion. It looks like Plastikspork got to it before I had a chance. --AussieLegend (✉) 08:58, 13 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Marquisate of Buglas

Why did you unilaterally delete my article about the Marquisate of Buglas? It's still a baby article but why did you remove it? If you look at the article Sebastian Elcano you would clearly see that the King of Spain created a Marquisate of Buglas for the descendants of the Spanish Magellan expedition. It deserves it's own article yet you deleted it.

Gintong Liwanag Ng Araw (talk) 09:23, 18 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm.. here I see no such deletion. Lookiing at my edit history, I see this reversion, which i explained in the edit summary. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 11:59, 18 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

April 2015

Hello, I'm Wtmitchell. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Lamar High School (Houston, Texas), but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 23:15, 21 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wtmitchell. I assume the above was a Huggle induced misfire? See [1]. Hope you don't get blocked by yourself :) --RacerX¹¹ Talk to me^{Stalk me} 23:38, 21 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Haha. Thanks for the heads-up; you probably got that right. I've got too much going on just now to look at it, but I'll probably get back to it sometime later today. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 23:57, 21 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you undo my edits to the Spanish American War page?

Sagarjethani (talk) 14:21, 6 May 2015 (UTC) Are you saying the United States did not militarily takeover Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Philippine Islands?[reply]

I tried to explain that in my edit summary saying, "Inaccurate. Contradicts lateer lead content. US didn't "claim", treaty transferred. Cuba was not transferred.". However, due to length limitiations of edit summaries, that was apparently too brief. I'll be more verbose here.

Here, you had edited the lead paragraph, adding a sentence which read, "By the end of the Spanish American War, the United States claimed possession of the former Spanish colonies of Cuba, the Philippine Islands, Puerto Rico, and Guam." My edit here reverted that, removing your addition. The reason for that was that the characterization saying "claimed possession" was an oversimplification, and it was was simply incorrect re Cuba. What happened was that the U.S. and Spain negotiated the Treaty of Paris (1898) to end the war. That treaty included provisions whereby Spain ceded Puerto Rico, parts of the Spanish West Indies, the island of Guam, and the Philippines to the United States; Spain surrendered control of Cuba but did not cede it to the United States (Cuba became a U.S. protectorate, and remained so until 1902). This is covered in a bit more detail in the Making peace section of the article and in various detail articles linked from there.

Pokeheroes

hey I want to start an article Pokeheroes but you are not allowing me to.Plesae let me do it.Pokeheroes Wiki is not sufficient Pinkachu2015 (talk) 12:22, 8 May 2015 (UTC)Pinkachu2015Pinkachu2015 (talk) 12:22, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It appears that I deleted that article during a WP:Huggle session after its second edit because it looked to me like a test edit. I see here that it was created by you and then tagged by another editor as a possible copyright violation of http://wiki.pokeheroes.com/wiki/Main_Page; I didn't notice the copyvio tag at the time -- possibly the page was tagged between the time I first saw it and the time I deleted it. Anyhow, I've restored that page as it existed at the time of its last edit into your WP:userspace as User:Pinkachu2015/Pokeheroes. You can edit the page there until it is in good enough shape to be moved into article mainspace. Please edit the restored page soon to deal with the copyvio problem. Also, I suggest that you take a look at Wikipedia:Your first article. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 18:19, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Better add those cites yourself

Hi WT,

Yesterday when you restored the good-faith edit of User:Dchandler735 to the Human Trafficking article, apparently hoping that Chandler would return and add the neccesarry cites, I'm pretty sure she is gone for good. A bit over intimidated by the whole process here. You might consider adding the cites yourself or re-deleting the content she added. Check out her last edit. Apparently the Wiki-process has not yet matured enough to have yet recognized the crime of the Assassination of a Newbie. Thanks, Scott P. (talk) 13:08, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind, the section has already been re-reverted. Scott P. (talk) 19:57, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads-up. I commented at Talk:Human trafficking#S.O.A.P. after seeing that the content had been re-removed. I've decided not to pursue this for reasons which I explained there. Cheers. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 20:33, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delavan, Illinois

When I try to add Aaron Wheeler to te notable people section of Delavan Illinois you keep reverting it just because there's not a source. Yet Randy Ross is also mentioned as being notable for having a "great beard" and yet that hasn't been removed and it isn't sourced either. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.238.225.146 (talk) 21:20, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I made those reverts during a WP:Huggle session, from which I am able only to supply canned edit summaries from a limited menu of choices. Not seeing any indication otherwise, I presumed that the person you named is among the living. Please read WP:BLP. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 21:25, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The person is living but that's what he is notable for. I don't put that as a form of slander I put it as a form of fact. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.155.19.95 (talk) 21:55, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Again, please read WP:BLP. If he's notable for that, cite a reliable source which reports it in support of that allegation. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 21:59, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Which I did but it was taken down.
