I finally have my own Internet connection (no more editing form the library; hallelujah!) but real life is busy, so I might not be ever so active for another few weeks.
Oh, and I'd like to take this opportunity to shamelessly plug the essay I just wrote!

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

I will get to this, I promise. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 00:02, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, thanks. I'm getting some help from Dianna, but you're welcome to jump in whenever you have the time. The Utahraptor ^Talk/_Contribs 19:10, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, HJ Mitchell. You have new messages at The Utahraptor's talk page.
Message added 17:22, 27 August 2011 (UTC). You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.[reply]

It may interest you to know that an old discussion on how to label Silver Reef (ghost town, unincorporated community, or semi-ghost town) has been brought up. I'd like your input here, as well, if you have the time. The Utahraptor ^Talk/_Contribs 02:50, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Quick update: I have created a peer review for this article here. Feel free to leave your comments there if you like, or you could leave them on the article's talk page. The Utahraptor ^Talk/_Contribs 21:09, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Will do. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 21:44, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WindSeeker Copy Edit Request

Hello, just wanted to ask you if you are willing to take a look at the WindSeeker article and tell me what can be fixed or changed. I am asking for this review because I will be nominating the article for FA status once I believe the article is ready.--Dom497 (talk)

Finished my trial run with Pending Changes

Since the postmortem analysis of Pending Changes is finished, I would like for my reviewer rights to be removed. I doubt that Pending Changes will be ever accepted by the community here, and I've finished testing it. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 21:53, 7 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 22:03, 7 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 00:36, 8 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

McDonnell Douglas AV-8B Harrier II ... again

Hi HJ. Thanks for your help in working on McDonnell Douglas AV-8B Harrier II. As you know, its Milhist A-class review ran out of time, but, undaunted, Sp33dyphil has nominated it at FAC. (He's recently managed to get a second aircraft article to FA, and is therefore full of optimism!) I know you're a bit snowed under at the moment, but would you have time to continue your work on it at some point? It'd be greatly appreciated. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 15:36, 8 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yay!!

OMG! I haven't been able to edit this page for ages! Shock and Surprise!

• Oh yeah. Hi HJ!

Well keep it to yourself! ;) I'd rather be able to leave it open. And hi, how are you? Have you still got the same IP? I've never seen an IP that didn't belong to a school or a big business stay assigned to one person for so long. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 13:22, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Shh. I won't tell anyone!

I'm doing alright on the whole. What about you? OMG no internet connection? How bad can that be? What about your prior 'underemployment'?
re. IP, I have been editing from work a little (got meself a laptop!

) and my IP does change, a little. I think if I edit from home using the Lappy it uses still another IP too, so it seems to be 'locked' to the actual PC I am using. Or actually a combination of the PC, modem and Unwired access point I am using, as a different modem I have won't allow me to access the Net, without setting up another account.^{[citation needed]} (have to check that) - 220.101 talk^\Contribs 18:06, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:TreasuryTag

I wish to point out that he reverted your removal of the archiving thing.

<LikeLakers2-1> someone mind checking this out? http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:TreasuryTag&diff=454664199&oldid=454554452
<LikeLakers2-1> it was a revert of this edit http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:TreasuryTag&diff=454552416&oldid=454551664

Just wanted to point that out. LikeLakers2 (talk | Sign my guestbook!) 17:39, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) there is nothing in the rules that states explicitly that archiving of unblock notices is forbidden. I would leave it be. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 17:55, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That may be true, but HJ Mitchell himself had done the second of the two edits. (this one) I figured I might as well let him know. LikeLakers2 (talk | Sign my guestbook!) 17:57, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Correct me if I am wrong, but WP:BLANKING says that "relevant information about a currently active block or ban" may not be removed. LikeLakers2 (talk | Sign my guestbook!) 18:01, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
