Hi, on 12 September 2010 the article for Chrishan was create-protected by you. The subject has since gained significance (international album release, music chating internationally, signing of major label) and I feel the article may be created due to this gain of notability over the past 2 years. -- 2nyte ( talk) 04:16, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
Hello, HJ Mitchell! First of all, I wish you a Happy New Year! I'm Heymid, and I think you recognize me from my tough period in 2010. It's been a while since we last heard from each other; I think the most recent time was almost two years ago. I would like to share my experiences on Wikipedia from back then.
I started editing in the beginning of 2010. I mostly edited at the Swedish Wikipedia, where I eventually was long-term blocked in May that year. I felt disappointed because I believed my intentions were good and that I was not trying to play around the wiki and piss other people off. Things didn't get better when I got really active at the English Wikipedia as a result, and I also felt provoked at the same time by a user I knew from the Swedish wiki. I was stressed and basically it was all about me trying to convince everybody that I was not intending to play around. Things only got worse during the summer and the autumn, over a span of four months, and I was blocked a number of times for disruptive behavior.
HJ, what I mainly want to say is, I am really thankful that you supported me during this difficult period. It was really hard for me but in the end I do think you and your input helped me get on the right track. TFOWR was also nice as well, he was also very supportive of me. But I was stressed, not only on Wikipedia but in real life as well. 2010 was one of the toughest periods of my life, but I'm glad that it's now history – and now I'm only looking forward in real life and in my Wikipedia adventure. Whatever happened back in 2010 I have laid behind me. Today I don't edit a lot, however; I've begun losing interest in Wikipedia and am focusing more on real life and other things. I would like to deeply apologize for my disruptive behavior back then, but I can assure you I've matured a lot since then.
Happy New Year! Best regards. Hey Mid ( contribs) 23:33, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
This is a note to let the main editors of Richard Nixon know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on January 9, 2013. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/January 9, 2013. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 ( talk · contribs) or his delegates Dabomb87 ( talk · contribs), Gimmetoo ( talk · contribs), and Bencherlite ( talk · contribs), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you can change it—following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. The blurb as it stands now is below:
Richard Nixon (1913–1994) was the 37th President of the United States, serving from 1969 to 1974. He graduated from Whittier College in 1934 and Duke University School of Law in 1937, returning to California to practice law. He served in the United States Navy during World War II. Nixon was elected to the House of Representatives in 1946 and to the Senate in 1950. He served for eight years as vice president, from 1953 to 1961, and waged an unsuccessful presidential campaign in 1960, narrowly losing to John F. Kennedy. In 1968, Nixon ran again for president and was elected. He initially escalated the Vietnam War, but ended US involvement in 1973. Nixon's visit to the People's Republic of China in 1972 opened diplomatic relations between the two nations. Though he presided over Apollo 11, he scaled back manned space exploration. He was re-elected by a landslide in 1972 despite a series of revelations in the Watergate scandal, which cost Nixon much of his political support in his second term, and on August 9, 1974 he resigned as president. In retirement, Nixon's work as an elder statesman, authoring several books and undertaking many foreign trips, helped to rehabilitate his public image. ( Full article...)

Hi HJ, I hope all is well. I know you are away, but if you get a chance to do this it would be great. One of the conditions of my return was that you would review the restrictions after six months. Since that time has elapsed, I was wondering if you would reassess. Thanks for your consideration. Instaurare ( talk) 21:08, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi, HJ Mitchell. According to the page editing statistics you have been among the most active editors of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill article.

Related sections for this discussion are also this and this. Your comments are appreciated. Thank you. Beagel ( talk) 16:17, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Hello HJ. Someone has made an ARBPIA complaint about Lazyfoxx at AE. I am having trouble deciding whether this is a real problem or not, but am leaning toward a topic ban of some duration. You closed a previous AE last March at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement/Archive110#Lazyfoxx. Perhaps you feel like adding your own comment to the present AE. Thanks, EdJohnston ( talk) 17:41, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
I agree with many of the things you wrote about the NOTNEWS point. Would you please remove the fatalities number (inluding numbers of people who might have escapted) in the infobox of the article. They are just speculations. And the infobox is not the right place for such speculations. I don´t want to revove the numbers myself as I have removed similar numbers twice earlier today and don´t want to be accused of edit warring. With regards, Iselilja ( talk) 17:49, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

Regarding this block you just made, it appears that you accidentally gave wrong reason in the block log (violations of BLP?) and also, the blocked user made just one edit. I could be wrong, but that edit did not seem like vandalism to me. If anything, Carrot Lord has inappropriate anti-Wikipedia content on his user page and it should be removed. I suppose I may be mistaken and I'd like to hear your opinion on it. Regards, AutomaticStrikeout ( T • C) 18:14, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi HJ Mitchell, Thanks for your work on African topics. It's awesome that you won a grant to research the one you currently have at FAC (how does one go about applying?). I also have an Africa-related topic at FAC about Rakoto Frah, an iconic musician from Madagascar. Would you like to trade FAC reviews?

Hi I'd like to request that you grant me IPBE. as the College I attend uses highly restrictive firewalls. And also I will be traveling overseas in ASIA and the Middle East with my school as part of a study abroad program, SO IPBE would be helpful.
