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.

Crab IP address thing again (q_q)

Hi again, HJ. Seemingly immediately after the IP ban of 143.44.169.184 expired, this edit popped up. Based on the current state of the talk page, I'm almost led to wonder if they're using an LLM to generate garbage, but then the grammar leads me to believe it's likely hand-written.

@TheTechnician27 this is still on my radar. I promise I'll get to it but might be Sunday/Monday. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 11:40, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@HJ Mitchell: Don't worry one bit about it. You already do more than I could hope to do for the project, and anything you do at all surrounding this is still a huge help. For right now, the IP is still making edits to articles, but in a weird way, it encourages me to immediately improve them, because I often write something to replace what they've written. When life gives you lemons... TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 13:56, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
