redundant information
Hi Mitchell, regarding your addition,, it's a repeat of what is written in the first paragraph of 2019 El Paso shooting. In a speech from the White House on August 5, Trump said: "In one voice, our nation must condemn racism, bigotry and white supremacy. These sinister ideologies must be defeated. These sinister ideologies must be defeated. Hate has no place in America."  starship .paint  (talk) 01:29, 9 August 2019 (UTC) ~mitch~ (talk) 01:50, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Speaking of repetition, there's no need to thank me seven times in three days, just doing my job. Appreciate the support, but enough's enough and it's time for a change, eh? I prefer to assume my admirers just let their silent contemplation do the cheering, like Japanese wrestling fans; you're verging on American pop idolatry, but there's still time to dial it down a bit.

Italics for periodicals (newspapers, journals, magazines)
Do you have something (diff) against italicization? Actually, periodicals (newspapers, journals, magazines) should be italicized per MOS:ITALICTITLE (English Wikipedia's Manual of Style). --Russian Rocky (talk) 14:23, 22 August 2019 (UTC)

Actions are not accidents
James the Bond 007 (also under former name Gumshoe97) has repeatedly made edits and deletions on other editors' Talk pages, has been cautioned repeatedly on own Talk page about transgressions (which JTB 007 deletes), and in general puts far too much effort into leaving content on editors' Talk pages and Teahouse versus contributing to the encyclopedia. Also seems to be focusing on accruing power, as in asking how to get Twinkle and Rollback, and be an Administrator or Bureaucrat. David notMD (talk) 02:16, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks ~ seems to me that he/she is really excited about editing here on Wiki ~ (I may be wrong of course) ~ but I tend to always give the benefit of the doubt ~ once again Nice to meet you! ~mitch~ (talk) 02:22, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Excited is one thing. Interfering with other editors' Talk pages, and then deleting cautions about that on his own Talk page is another. Let's both hope that going forward, JTB 007 channels enthusiasm into productive article editing. David notMD (talk) 14:34, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
 * I agree with you ~ but if deleting cautions on your own talk page ~ (which is not against policy) ~ you know they have at least read the cautions ~ from what I have seen, User:James The Bond 007 has only been editing for a couple of months ~ with a group of other young editors ~ that do the same to each other ~ I would give examples but I've got other things to do ~ if you need them, let me know and when I have the time I'll gather them for up you ~ regards ~ ~mitch~ (talk) 14:43, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

It was an accident, and there is nothing wrong on deleting a caution on my talk page after I have read it, the only thing I have done wrong was reverting an edit, but I was testing out twinkle, and I promise this won't happen again --Sir Bond 007 (James The Bond 007) (talk) 15:06, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

Reverting talk page edits
As you know reverting or editing other edits comments on a talk page is verboten, unless for vandalism or to correct an error. AGF you perceive that I made an error, however you did not offer an explanation of the improper edit that I made. Could you please clarify. I tried to revert your revert and somehow deleted 33k of comments. Favonian reverted my revert. I am inquiring on Favonians talk page as to what happened. Meanshile please inform me of exactly what was improper with my edit? Presupposing that since it was a survey, I was supposed to support or oppose, but that is not the cases with surveys.. I have seen too many where comments were neither. In my case my comment was valid. The survey is now useless as events have overtaken it.Oldperson (talk) 20:28, 27 December 2019 (UTC)

If so then forgetting to sign an edit is not justification, at least to my knowledge, for reverting an edit. In any event I redid the edit this time with signature. It is not often that I forget to sign my posts.Oldperson (talk) 21:25, 27 December 2019 (UTC)

Hi Mitchell. I was wondering if you are open to having Draft:Celebrity Apex moved to the main space.

 * Communications with the blog site indicate they requested guidance from Google and were told that it was because of the secure "s" being missing... I wonder, because the history indicates that it was present in the post that gave you the warning. Now, maybe that is a solution at the site. Could you please test the link again to see whether you obtain the same warning?

, I took the issue to the best technician I know and here is the response,

''I ran a security check on that blog (https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/results/https/shiplerreport.blogspot.com) It found no problems with it. Not sure why Wikipedia is flagging it.''

Reading that scan report shows that it is clean by all of the noted standards. So that obviously is why I get no warning with the blog or its article. You know, when I posted the link as a reference, a generic warning from Wikipedia about the dangers of blogs appeared and made me make the post again as a precaution, so I am wondering whether that is what you are getting. That entry stood for some time without any other editor reversing it. That makes me suspect that no one else found the post dangerous. And on top of that, the link to the blog is on the author's WP article page. It has been there for a long time. Can you please check with more technically advanced editors at WP about your reversal of the posts I made with the same links? It looks safe for me to post the references again, but obviously you must agree. _ _ _ _ 83d40m (talk) 13:43, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
 * , you don't have to ping me on my own talk page, wiki lets me know anytime someone leaves a message here ~ I did not just follow your link. I googled "shiplerreport.blogspot.com" and then went to the link on google. I would be weary if I got a flag from wiki ~ I can't tell you which way to go ~ if you reinsert, I will not undo . ~mitch~ (talk) 14:41, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

Thanks -- I'll go ahead and post the references again. I'll revert if there have been no entries following yours -- otherwise I will make a new post. Wiki merely cautions one to be sure that the blog is not a problem, a good caution to editors and perhaps discouraging many with problem links -- but the decision is left to the editor to complete the post. Sucuri may be the best double check to use, I know I will keep it for future use. It was a pleasure working this out with you. _ _ _ _ 83d40m (talk) 15:45, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

The Bells are ringing
Dear Mitchell,

I expected, when I got your ping, that you had fixed a mistake that I'd made and consequently I appreciated that. I was surprised to see that I hadn't. The format I used for the cite was perfectly acceptable I believe, just as was your substitute. I prefer the briefer form which requires less thought and consumes less time, but it communicates all the necessary info. I'd have written this note to your private email, as I'm not trying to be publicly critical, but you don't have one connected. I do think that Kruse deserves a page and if I have to, I'll create one. Given the latitude that the current U.S. administration has given corporate malfeasant players and the strange time lag for prosecution, I'm quite surprised that Kruse is being prosecuted at all. There is an article for a different person with the same name, which is why I left the red linked name to reflect that. My intended return was to make sure the descriptor "businessman" was appropriate. I'm going to restore that and hope that you would read that article from which I'll be citing. Lastly, I don't know why you put the descriptor, "alleged," in quotes, and I'll be removing them. I'm baffled as to what you are inferring with the unreferenced term "copyrighted." Feel free to erase this message, of course. Activist (talk) 20:44, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
 * The format you use as a cite does not allow the bots to restore any cite, that is why I use the example I gave you and as far as Kruse being red line ~ fine with me. As far as being copyrighted it seems that you are just putting information out with out a NPOV. Regards ~mitch~ (talk) 14:21, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Your edits here and here look fine with me! Regards ~mitch~ (talk) 14:27, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for getting back to me. Also, thanks for the info about the cites. I presume that you mean that if a bot was going to try to cure a problem, if one existed, with the cite, it couldn't accomplish that. I expect that in the case of a link going dead, that the bot couldn't, add say a Wayback Machine URL that would get the reader to a useful cite/live link. Is that the case?  I'm still not clear about giving me a heads up on a possible NPOV violation or copyright situation. Can you clarify?  Thanks again, especially for handling this in a professional manner. I'll get to the Cruse article when I can, but I'm way behind. I've started to create articles on numerous bios that have been dormant for months because I haven't been able to spare the time.

Hey Mitch, Good News!
It's 2021, time for unity, togetherness and compl...oh, you've heard. Well, I for one agree with the overall notion, a cause for celebration straight across the turtle's back, from Shanghai to Dubai and right back atcha, from ground control to Captain Tom, major medical advances to general spiritual creep, Bob's your uncle and happy happy joy joy. Since you already have a socially virtual parade, have a 🍄, it might make them seem different, brother! InedibleHulk (talk) 05:26, 2 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Yes, I bought the socially virtual parade, without the fireworks although probably, Trump, in his creepiness, would love to think he's a spicy firecracker. Happy New Year! --The Eloquent Peasant (talk) 11:20, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
 * In the 70s, he wasn't delusional, creeps were spicy! But yeah, in his 70s, I feel bad for Melania. I hope she winds up with Brigitte Bardot next, that'd still be hot. Or if not hot, a kinder fate. "Neat" at least. InedibleHulk (talk) 07:56, 3 January 2021 (UTC)


 * As I read and reread this all I can do is nod my head and say out loud, "that's true, it's all true." If she were smart she could play him. She could move on.  All eyes are on Melania in 2021.--The Eloquent Peasant (talk) 13:18, 3 January 2021 (UTC)


 * ~ I like the one you reverted better ~ LOL ~mitch~ (talk) 14:43, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Couldn't agree more. No offense, Peasant, but that ain't music! Maybe Europe can't give Melania what she needs after all, not the way Old Montreal could. Fifty on the humidex, sax on the hill, the smell of smoked meat in the air and the sights of strange brew down the street...ah, I still remember the day she first smiled upon our Prime Minister. Such unbridled things left unspoken she did flutter, I dare not repeat them amongst gentlemen. But oh, what a wonderful world! InedibleHulk (talk) 15:33, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Winston Churchill was a great prime minister. Glad Boris made it through COVID-19. Unfortunately, Trump didn't. He lost. My bet is that Melania's been conditioned to stay. And I most likely don't like the music you like. Music is all a very personal choice. It is a beautiful world! --The Eloquent Peasant (talk) 17:17, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
 * We like some of the same tunes, statistically speaking, just started on the wrong note. Anyway, if she's staying south of the border, it wasn't meant to be, c'est la vie. They'll always have Ottawa. Besides, Trudeau's official partner was fine before catching the superbug, and she's still fine after developing those hot new antibodies everyone's talking about. If I were the Prime Minister of Canada and she were my wife, I wouldn't risk a romantic rendezvous with anyone less than the Governor General herself, I'd stay home. Anyway, keep an eye on that First Lady, she could be the next Becky G, with or without a significant other, she's got "it". It was nice meeting you, adios for now! InedibleHulk (talk) 19:15, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Mitch said, "I like the one you reverted better."   And had I not reverted it, the link to the song by Becky G would have made more sense. Take the old man for all he's worth and go live it up with a young man! Or something like that is what I first said.  But communication has never been my forte.--The Eloquent Peasant (talk) 20:37, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I hear you fine, it's her who has the problem. Becky G, I mean, lay off the Autotune, you don't need Dr. Luke to make your pitch shift, you were born with the chords inside you all along, sing for real or get lost in the mix. Melania, stay golden, girl! InedibleHulk (talk) 01:23, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

Gordon Ramsay Michelin stars
I agree that it is valid to show "a cumulation of all the stars in their restaurants", which would reflect someone's standing as a restaurateur, instead of a rating of a chef, which Michelin does not do. But then shouldn't it show seven stars? A cumulation of Michelin stars for Ramsay's current restaurants would be 2 [Restaurant Gordon Ramsay] + 1 [Pétrus] + 1 [Versailles] + 2 [Le Pressoir d'Argent, Bordeaux] = 7. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stephs758 (talk • contribs) 14:20, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
