Giles v. Harris

Per your inquiry, see Muskrat v. United States for a sample of how these categories fill out. Prior history/subsequent history deal with the cases from which this was being appealed, and if it was sent down for a lower court to decide (often there is no subsequent history). The holding is just a summary of the rule decided by the case. There also may be no concurrence in the judgement (those are not so common). Laws applied can be tricky with constitutional cases - in this case it's technically the Eleventh Amendment. BD2412 T 05:20, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

The King Center

I've seen you making some good edits in history articles, you are doing great job covering a wide swath of history. Last week, I happened to notice that there was no article on the Martin Luther King, Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change, even though it is mentioned in several articles listed in Category:Martin Luther King, Jr.. Since the center has been involved in controversies (over the Atlanta historic site, the King memorial in Washington, and the licensing of King's works) this could be a controversial article, but I decided I would start it and make sure it remains WP:NPOV. Unfortunately I just never find the time to dig into the topic. I invite you to start it if you have any interest. Don't do it if you aren't interested - I know this is quite presumptuous on my part ;-). In any case, keep up the good work and contact me if you ever need anything.

Admins are watching you

I got a kick out of the idea that admins watching you and checking your edits seems strange :-). In case you don't know, admins are as plentiful as mice here (almost 1000 of them) and for the most part quite harmless. The two guys who posted above me on this page are also admins. Admins are around to enforce policy (vandalism etc.) but have no special rights when it comes to the actual content of the encyclopedia, we are all equal and are expected to work to a consensus. We are also very public with our communications to each other and read each others talk pages and watch each others edits and so forth all the time. There is no such thing as a secret on wikipedia. One good way to find out about interesting articles is to scan the contributions of editors you see making good edits - try it. See you around ;-) NoSeptember ^talk 13:23, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Source Please?

I would like to merge the information you placed in American Civil Rights Movement (1955-1968) into Timeline of the American Civil Rights Movement, but I can't do that without knowing that we aren't plagiarizing. Could you post your source in the Discussion of the first topic? Simesa 17:23, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

You wrote:

After I check each bulleted date for correct wikilinks and to ensure each article so linked has references and citations, is it okay to transfer that bulleted date to the Timeline of the American Civil Rights Movement article or do you want to check that date before hand?

You really don't need my approval, and it is very unlikely that I'd delete anything. My concern was to have the source of not-easily-checkable items footnoted - for example, "(1935) In March, riots in Harlem begin after a young black man is badly beaten in a department store for shoplifting" should have a footnote to a source. On the other hand, "(1940) On June 10th, Marcus Garvey dies in London." wouldn't need a source - there's already an article on him (this fact might actually belong in that article and not here, unless he had a notable funereal). "On October 10, the U.S. Supreme Court requires University of Alabama to admit Autherine Lucy." doesn't have to have a footnote IF the date is placed in the article on her or is commonly available (as it is - I checked), but "In July, a pupil placement law is enacted in Alabama." probably should have one. What can't be readily checked should be footnoted (many lines can refer to the same footnote of course). Thanks for all your hard work! Simesa 19:37, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Your line under 1954 "Bobby Bland becomes the first black man to graduate from theUniversity of Virginia engineering school." seems to be bogus -- what's going on? Simesa 03:35, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Lincoln cabinet sidebar

I am not sure what you did, but Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Template:Lincoln cabinet sidebar does not show at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2012 December 9. This in not the real issue, as this deletion is misplaced. Please propose templates by following the instructions at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion. However, if you migrate Abraham Lincoln to use {{Infobox U.S. Cabinet}}, then {{Lincoln cabinet sidebar}} will be orphaned and you can tag it with {{db-t3}} per Wikipedia:CSD#t3: "Templates that are not employed in any useful fashion, i.e., orphaned..." --— Gadget850 (Ed) ^talk 17:48, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

Nixon

I haven't been involved with the Nixon article, so I don't have any strong opinions on the matter. I think the material is good to include somewhere, but there may be better ways of organizing such content. Zagalejo^^^ 18:01, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi, Mitchumch. It might have been easier for you if you would have opened an RFC. By the way, I have removed your post from the talk pages of three banned accounts and one that is indef-blocked. There's no way these people will be able to participate (without socking). Best, -- Dianna (talk) 18:39, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

And you did that with a vague edit summary that left the impression that Mitchumch is the banned editor (which brought me here to check). SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:44, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, Mitchumch. I did not mean to imply that you were banned. -- Dianna (talk) 20:54, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

Mitchumch invited me to comment on this. Last night I spent a couple hours looking into some details about the Nixon presidency. I did not think I had made in edits on Wikipedia about this and so was surprised someone was reading my mind. :-) Mitchumch , I'll answer the questions you asked at Talk:Richard Nixon#Section deleted on 13 December 2012 here as my reply is directed to you about the "process" rather than about the content of the Richard Nixon article.

• I see that you invited quite a few people. Please take a look at Wikipedia:Canvassing. There's also Wikipedia:RFC and Wikipedia:Dispute resolution.
• "rv" is short for "revert." Please see Help:Reverting.
• Prior consensus is usually not needed to add material. If no one complains about the addition then it's considered to be there by "Wikipedia:Consensus." Sometimes an editor wants to restructure an article quite a bit, or make material changes to an article about a controversial topic. You can be Wikipedia:bold and jump in with the edits or you can toss a trial balloon on the talk page to see if there are objections. In this case, an editor reverted and advised that your proposed addition be taken up on the talk page.
• The reason the reverting editor mentioned "unsourced" was that you added a large block of text but had not included any citations or sources with it. The reverting editor likely noticed it had been two days since you added the block which would have been time for you do follow-up edits with citations, etc. The editor probably knows of Wikipedia:burden and simply reverted rather than spending hours or days of time chasing down citations for the material you added. There's also an issue in that often when large, well written, unsourced, blocks of text appear out of the blue on Wikipedia that we are dealing with a Wikipedia:copyvio. Usually we revert. The source you later provided on the talk page seems satisfactory and had you included that with your edit it likely would not have been reverted.

In summary Mitchumch, your addition appears to be a good idea and has already triggered discussion on Talk:Richard Nixon about splitting the article content off to material about Nixon himself versus his presidency or administration. --Marc Kupper|talk 20:19, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

For what it's worth: You actually do know what "rv" means, as seen in your own edit summaries here, here, and here. Looking through your contributions history, it's refreshing to see someone who apparently understands that an edit summary is for summarizing an edit, not for holding a conversation.

Help with C-SPAN?

Hi Mitchumch. I have the C-SPAN article on my watchlist and noticed your recent edits. I like the change you made to the Audience section, I think it does make more sense for the most recent information to be a bullet point as well, so thanks for doing that. I'm wondering if you can help with a two other small updates to the article. A little while ago I submitted the article at WP:FAC and though the process resulted in some good improvements to the article, the review moved slowly and the submission was archived before a consensus could be reached. I'd like to resubmit the article again, but there are still two minor points that I feel should be improved before I do so.

My reason for asking you for help is that I have a COI with C-SPAN. I'm a consultant to the network, so I aim to be very careful: I sometimes request changes to C-SPAN-related articles, but I don't edit them directly.

I've been trying for some time now to get these last two issues resolved, but haven't been able to find an editor who can help. If you can help, I think the best place to start is the request I posted on Paid Editor Help a little while ago, which explains the suggested edits succinctly, and the longer discussion is at Talk:C-SPAN. Would love to have your help if you've got the time. Cheers, WWB Too (Talk · COI) 17:10, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for taking care of the XM detail. I do wonder if you'd be willing to look at th eother detail as well—I know how difficult it can be to jump in to the middle (or really the tail end as it is in the case) of a discussion and understand where things stand. But let me try anyway? First, the portion of the article being discussed is the last two sentences of the first paragraph of the Development section which currently reads:

Lamb shared his idea with John D. Evans in 1977, who with a number of others helped to co-found the network.[7][8] Early cable-television executive Bob Rosencrans provided the initial funding of $25,000 for Lamb to initiate C-SPAN in 1979 and other cable-television executives followed suit.[4][9]

In a previous discussion, User:Ruhrfisch asked to know more about who John D. Evans is. Looking into the matter, I realized that the claim "who with a number of others help to co-found the network" as quite vague. Following some more research, I came up with an alternative to these two sentences to explain and summarize better. Here is what I suggested :

Proposed revision

As it should appear: Lamb shared his idea with several cable executives, who helped him launch the network. Among them were Bob Rosencrans who provided $25,000 of initial funding in 1979 and John D. Evans who provided the wiring and access to the headend needed for the distribution of the C-SPAN signal. As markup: Lamb shared his idea with several cable executives, who helped him launch the network. Among them were [[Bob Rosencrans]] who provided $25,000 of initial funding in 1979<ref name=Barnhart/><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.college.columbia.edu/cct/jan05/features3.php |title=Original Cable Guy |accessdate=August 5, 2008 |work=college.columbia.edu |publisher=[[Columbia College, Columbia University|Columbia College]] |archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20080829153957/http://www.college.columbia.edu/cct/jan05/features3.php <!--Added by H3llBot-->|archivedate=August 29, 2008}}</ref> and [[John D.

What do you think—is it an improvement? As I'm sure you are wondering, I followed up with Ruhrfisch about it, but I've received no response. He seems busy, and I don't want to be a bother, so I've let him go. Again, I really appreciate you making the XM channel edit for me and hope that you'll be able to help with this as well. I'm hoping to resubmit to FAC before the Thanksgiving holiday. Cheers, WWB Too (Talk · COI) 20:45, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

This is now  Done. Cheers, WWB Too (Talk · COI) 14:32, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Lucas Sullivant

Hello Mitchumch,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Lucas Sullivant for deletion, because it seems to be inappropriate for a variety of reasons.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Sulaimandaud (talk) 08:07, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

the deletion tag was not proper, and it was removed by another admin, and it has since been expanded. You might want to add other sources as well. DGG ( talk ) 14:06, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

There is nothing wrong with your article now. when i tagged for deletion only one line was written.

If you change the values for oTop and oLeft, then you will see what I am talking about. --Mitchumch (talk) 23:41, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

stats.grok.se

@SMcCandlish: The following FAQ appears on the FAQs page for the pageviews statistics tool

Are redirects included in the data for a specific article?

No. One would need to look up each redirect's hit statistics.

In light of this FAQ, do you still think the statement, "The stats.grok.se results do not tell us what people search for, only what pages they end up on ..." is true?

Mitchumch (talk) 05:42, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

Of course. That hit counter is primarily telling us what people get to via links; it has nothing intrinsically to do with searches.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ≼  11:43, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

@Killiondude: @Henrik:

I am trying to resolve the above disagreement. As can be read, I referred to the FAQs page to resolve this disagreement. However, the disagreement remains. I was hoping the maintainers of this tool could state if either understanding is correct or incorrect. This disagreement is rooted in the following statement written by me (Mitchumch),

"The article "Movements for civil rights" has been viewed on average 205 times per day as of March 23, 2015. This article has three terms that serve as redirects to it. Those redirect terms are "Civil rights movements," "Rights movement," and "Civil rights in the United States." The term "Civil rights movements" contributes an average of 6 views per day for 90 days as of March 23, 2015. The term "Rights movement" contributes an average of 0.4 views per day for 90 days as of March 23, 2015. The term "Civil rights in the United States" contributes an average of 6 views per day for 90 days as of March 23, 2015. Of the four terms that directs users and readers to this page, the term "Movements for civil rights" is particularly recognizable. The term "Movements for civil rights" is a phrase many search for. The term "Civil rights movements" is a phrase many do not search for."

Thank you for your assistance. Mitchumch (talk) 07:39, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

Civil rights page

Hi, wondering if the sandbox page is going well and if you are coming close to where it can be looked at and added to. I've hesitated looking at it until it's in good shape, and then I'll add in if needed. Thanks. Have also noticed that Bruce Hartford doesn't have a Wikipedia page, we should toss one up for him. Well deserving of it, as is his organization. Randy Kryn 12:40, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

@Randy Kryn: The sandbox page is going well. It has always been close to where it can be looked at and added to. Simply put, I it will take a substantial amount of time to develop this list because there were alot of campaigns. It appears scholars are adding more localities all the time. As far as being in good shape, I think you may be waiting indefinitely. I do not know the number of campaigns that occurred throughout the United States. I also need to develop each campaign/movement into, at least, a stub article - region, state, county, municipal government, and school district. That is a lot of reading and writing.

I extended an invitation to you because you were a participant of the movement and are an active wikipedia user that adds content about the movement. I had hoped that your eyes would more easily alert you to omissions and misrepresentations as you viewed the list. So, please don't hesitate to look at it, add to it, or question it.

As far as Bruce is concerned, I agree. He, the other veterans, and the CRM veterans website deserve a place on wikipedia. That is more likely to happen if the particular campaigns they participated in have an article on wikepedia.

Lastly, I am trying to do alot at once. If you are confused by the layout of the list, then please ask. Eventually, each entry on the list should develop into a standalone article page. Some are currently blank, some have wikipedia links, and others have further reading sections that list scholarly literature. I also am trying to develop a standard outline for each local campaign (as an example, see User:Mitchumch/Atlanta movement).

Thanks for checking in with me. Mitchumch (talk) 11:49, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

Very ambitious, and the Atlanta page seems like a good example of what you're going for. Nice work. To make a correction, I wasn't involved in the Civil Rights Movement itself (became involved with the anti-war movement a bit later, in 1967) but was aware of and honored it, and then learned a lot about it from my involvement and decades long study with and of James Bevel and his role in the overall movement (he was pivotal, in every case). I'll try to give your page due time at some point soon, I don't want to do a quick run-through and not do it justice. To me the movement history should center on, at least in its major structure, those actions which directly created a national and international dialogue and then directly created major shifts in the removal of legal segregation throughout the United States. Those are the '54 Brown v. Board decision and the integration following it, the Montgomery boycott and the court case brought by Fred Gray, then the actions that the students and local people organized, and then the work of SCLC from 1963 to 1966 (the '66 Chicago Open Housing Movement directly affected the writing and passage of the '68 Fair Housing Act). So the definition of "movement" differs from person to person, and to me it concerns the exact points, strategies and tactics specifically and successfully designed to change the laws keeping legal segregation in place. And yes, we must get Bruce Hartford's page on this project, although the present Bruce Hartford page may have to be primary (the fellow did play eight games, I'm surprised he's not in the Baseball Hall of Fame). Randy Kryn 12:10, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

Hello, Mitchumch. Please check your email; you've got mail!
It may take a few minutes from the time the email is sent for it to show up in your inbox. You can at any time by removing the {{You've got mail}} or {{ygm}} template.

@Randy Kryn: Thanks for responding. I'm sorry, I had gotten the impression that you were a veteran of the movement, especially regarding your knowledge of Dorothy Cotton and James Bevel. Anyhow, that doesn't change my desire for your input.

Regarding the sandbox page, at this point in time, it would be more appropriate to view the page as a working tool than as a soon-to-be article list page. It will take alot of time to create a list page, with full content, and supporting citations.

There is one caveat I want to make. I am trying to piece together a topic based solely on scholarly sources. Going forward, the use of scholarly sources will need to be used to discipline editors into writing content based on peer reviewed, scholarly sources, preferably from university presses and from reputable new outlets. That will correct many of the errors and omissions scattered throughout wikipedia about the civil rights movement.

Regarding Bruce Hartford, I think once the various campaigns that occurred across the country are started, Bruce and all the other movement veterans will finally get a justified, scholarly based presence on wikipedia.

Again, don't hesitate to work on User:Mitchumch/sandbox or the various campaigns list on the page. I still need to set-up each campaign to allow for working on individual localities. Also, I may create another sandbox page for topical issues involving the Civil Rights Movement. For example, communism, world war II, Jewish, women, gays, violence and weapons, songs and music, historiography, etc. I am encountering too many books, journal articles, dissertations, and theses that examine topical issues in connection to the civil rights movement to ignore them. Mitchumch (talk) 03:59, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, a fine project evolving. May I suggest that you ask user: Neonorange to join the sandbox crew and the project, he would be a valuable addition. More soon, Randy Kryn 13:21, 20 July 2015 (UTC)

@Randy Kryn: Will do. Thanks. Mitchumch (talk) 13:27, 20 July 2015 (UTC)

@Mitchhumch: The fist is a common symbol in the movement, I thought just the fist looked bad (and it had a bad fit) so I added the red star a symbol used but not used as often as the fist.

@Mangokeylime: I've never seen that before. I've always seen the fist by itself. Are you able to direct me to the sources you've seen it in? Mitchumch (talk) 22:48, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
