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 learned something! Please don't leave {{YGM}} or {{Tb}} templates here—there is a very good chance I will see your message before I see the template.

Admins: If I have clearly erred in one of my admin actions, or my rationale for the action no longer applies, please don't hesitate to reverse it. I have no objection to my actions being reversed, as long you leave me a polite note explaining what you did and why.* Thanks. *This does not apply to arbitration enforcement actions, oversight blocks, or other actions noted as being pursuant to non-public information.

Autopatrolled for 1549bcp

Hello HJ Mitchell -- I removed autopatrolled from this editor, which you had granted in 2011 because, in my opinion, their recent creations have been far from the required standard of referencing, especially for BLPs, and they have been completely unresponsive to talk page messages and deletion requests. It probably would have been polite to have asked your opinion, apologies. My problem now is that 1549bcp archives their talk page frequently by deletion, so my message about the removal of the privilege has already been removed; however your message from 2011 is retained, giving the impression (to those don't use the show user permissions gadget) that they have autopatrolled rights. Could you remove the misleading talk page message? Or would you mind if I were to remove it? Cheers, Espresso Addict (talk) 03:08, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

Morning Espresso Addict, that was probably part of the mass- granting of autopatrolled. I'm unlikely to remember one action from 11 years ago enough to have a strong opinion on its reversal anyway. I don't see that leaving the message there does any harm but if you want to remove it, I don't see that doing any harm either. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 09:43, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

Possible shared IP

Hi, I reported an IP 203.189.85.142 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) to AIV, which you subsequently blocked, stating that the IP had a long history of editing the same pages (such as Oxley College (Burradoo)). Having a look at some of those edits now it seems like most of the older ones seem constructive (such as reverting previous vandalism manually). It might therefore be an IP of the school or similar. I was wondering if you had much experience in identifying shared school IPs, so that there could perhaps be a notice put on the talk page? Thanks FozzieHey (talk) 09:51, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
