Welcome to my talk page! I am an administrator here on Wikipedia. That means I am here to help. It does not mean that I have any special status or something, it just means that I get to push a few extra buttons to help maintain this encyclopedia. If you need help with something, feel free to ask. Click here to start a new topic.

First, please remember that I am not trying to attack you, demean you, or hurt you in any way. I am only trying to protect the integrity of this project. If I did something wrong, let me know, but remember that I am human, and I do make mistakes. Please keep your comments civil. If you vandalize this page or swear at me, you will not only decrease the likelihood of a response, your edits could get you blocked. (see WP:NPA) When posting, do not assume I know which article you are talking about. If you leave a message saying "Why did you revert me?", I will not know what you mean. If you want a response consisting of something other than "What are you talking about", please include links and, if possible, diffs in your message. At the very least, mention the name of the article or user you are concerned with. If you are blocked from editing, you cannot post here, but your talk page is most likely open for you to edit. To request a review of your block, add Administrators: If you see me do something that you think is wrong, I will not consider it wheel-warring if you undo my actions. I would, however, appreciate it if you let me know what I did wrong, so that I can avoid doing it in the future. |
You can email me from this link but in the interests of Wiki-transparency, please message me on this page unless there are pressing reasons to do otherwise.
Comments which I find to be uncivil, full of vulgarities, flame baiting, or that are excessively rude may be deleted without response. If I choose not to answer, that's my right; don't keep putting it back. I'll just delete and get annoyed at you.
I have continuously tried to enhance the Wiki Encyclopedia via research I have discovered. If I am doing it incorrectly, please help !e do it correctly.
The information is well documented, cited, and makes a valuable contribution. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ameninhat (talk • contribs) 20:47, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
Checkuser
Could you run a quick checkuser for me, please? I have a probable DUCK sock of an indef blocked user and I need to confirm. The sock is Sjick14, the indef-blocked user is CaptainHog. SPI at the far bottom will have the most current IP and account information, of course. Also, could you check for any sleepers while you are at it? Diannaa usually handles these, but she is offline at the moment. Much appreciated. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 13:06 on September 3, 2016 (UTC)
- I filed an SPI related to the above request. Just letting you know. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 15:25 on September 3, 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you! - Neutralhomer • Talk • 16:09 on September 3, 2016 (UTC)

Why I Chose Opposition to Trump
The reason I put the category Opposition to Trump on the pages is because some of these people criticized his polices and behavior. I thought that counts as opposition.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.132.30.75 (talk) 17:37, 5 June 2017

unreliable refs
This ip don't want to stop adding this unreliable ref in Battle of Río Salado ([1]). I think it's the ip of this account (Iconic272). Kind Regards -Aṭlas (talk) 19:01, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
- @Aṭlas: Sorry, busy. I see the editor was blocked. And that they've now got a new source. Can't confirm the sock possibility. Doug Weller talk 17:12, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
Blocked user w Asra Nomani unlinking
Hello - I noticed that you were observant enough to identify a pattern of behavior with another user, and blocked them here.
It looks like a similar pattern is present here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/WikiUser7
I hope that this is the appropriate pace to bring this to your attention. Let me know if I can comment further. KConWiki (talk) 02:36, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
- Good catch. Blocked. Doug Weller talk 17:06, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
