User talk:HJ Mitchell

Hello and welcome to my talk page! If you have a question, ask me. If I know the answer, I'll tell you; if I don't, I'll find out (or one of my talk-page stalkers might know!), then we'll both have learnt something!

Admins: If one of my admin actions is clearly a mistake or is actively harming the encyclopaedia, please reverse it. Don't wait for me if I'm not around or the case is obvious.

A list of archives of this talk page is here. Those in Roman numerals come first chronologically

This talk page is archived regularly by a bot so I can focus on the freshest discussions. If your thread was archived but you had more to say, feel free to rescue it from the archive.

Can you take a look at this?

Looks like MiszaBot archived my first request, so I'll bring it up again. Can you have a look at Silver Reef, Utah? I'm trying to bring it up to FA status, and I want as much feedback as possible (I will also add that I'm going to start a peer review soon).

Ugh! I need to find a better way of archiving this page. It's too busy to leave things here much longer than 36 hours, but I occasionally get requests that need to stay here a bit longer. Anyway, I will look. I'm just trying to do a dozen things at once right now! HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 16:15, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Maybe you should put the archive time to 48 hours or more and just manually archive the discussions that require quick archival? And do feel free to take your time with this request; I'm in no hurry (in fact I kind of want to take my time here to ensure that the article is ready for FAC).

Making sure MiszaBot doesn't archive this again. The Utahraptor^Talk/_Contribs 22:07, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

The Norton Knatchbull School

Re your removal of sourced material from this article, per an OTRS ticket. Is there any way that such material can be re-added without identifying those concerned by name? All three events happened, and are verified by reliable sources – or does the OTRS ticket mean that we have to suppress all mention of the events. Other than that, should the article be permanently semi-protected? Mjroots (talk) 04:40, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

The OTRS ticket was from the lady concerned, who was understandably concerned by the result of Googling here name, hence the removal and the RevDel. If you want to mention the incident without naming the individuals involved, I won't object, but I would ask one question—is it such a notable event in the history of the school that it warrants a mention in an encyclopaedia, or are we just including every reliably sourced fact we can find? If it's the former, by all means re-add it. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 12:07, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

Rights

Can i get Reverting or Rollback rights???? Karthik Nadar (talk) 10:07, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) If you had come to WP:RFP on this one, I would say no a) not while you still think it's funny to have the fake "You have new messages" banner on your userpage, b) you do not always put reasons when you use undo, and c) you almost never provide warnings/messages to users after you undo their edits now. That's just me, however (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 10:45, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

Juice80

Yeah, I saw that too. He has indicated some contact with the Foundation office ... I suppose they could handle it. But since we're not sure that it's the guy himself, I'm not ready to unblock just yet. Daniel Case (talk) 16:50, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

He hasn't been in contact with the Office, but with OTRS (specifically me). And he is who he says he is. I won't go into how I came to know that on-wiki, but he is Henry Isaac. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 16:59, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

Isiah Thomas

I don't have access the OTRS ticket mentioned here, but perhaps you should look at the Anucha Browne Sanders article, because it seems to contain much of the same information that was removed in the Isiah Thomas article. Zagalejo^^^ 04:45, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for bringing that up. It's actually quite well sourced there, though, and one could make a stronger article for its inclusion in the plaintiff's article than that of the defendant who was not found to have done anything wrong as far as I can work out.

Genre troll

Uhh yeah this guy >.> • GunMetal Angel 09:51, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

Blocked. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 10:52, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

By the looks of it, I think he has an alternative address • GunMetal Angel 21:25, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

I don't think they're the same person—one of the IPs is in India, the other's in Russia. Still, he's definitely making a nuisance of himself. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 22:25, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

Courtesy notification

Just to let you know that I have quoted you in conjunction with an arbitration case at [1]. Please feel free to suggest any corrections if you feel that I have misquoted you. I should add that the editor concerned is claiming that you were acting to protect another admin, which you may have some views about. Prioryman (talk) 23:46, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

I'm sure ArbCom will be able to find the appropriate receptacle for that claim. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 00:01, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
