Notice Coming here to ask why I reverted your edit? Read this page first...

Please leave me new messages at the bottom of the page; click here to start a new section at the bottom. I usually notice messages soon. I attempt to keep conversations in one location, as I find it easier to follow them that way when they are archived. If you open a new conversation here, I will respond to you here. Please watchlist this page or check back for my reply. If I have already left a message at your talk page, unless I've requested follow-up here or it is a standard template message, I am watching it. If you leave your reply here, I may respond at your talk page if it seems better for context. If you aren't sure if I'm watching your page, or I'm slow to reply, feel free to approach me here.


Welcome to my talk page! I am an administrator here on Misplaced Pages. That means I am here to help. It does not mean that I have any special status or something, it just means that I get to push a few extra buttons to help maintain this encyclopedia.

If you need help with something, feel free to ask. Click here to start a new topic.
If I have not made any edits in a while, (check) you may get a faster response by posting your request in a more centralized place.


Did I delete your page, block you, or do something else that I should not have done?
First, please remember that I am not trying to attack you, demean you, or hurt you in any way. I am only trying to protect the integrity of this project. If I did something wrong, let me know, but remember that I am human, and I do make mistakes. Please keep your comments civil. If you vandalize this page or swear at me, you will not only decrease the likelihood of a response, your edits could get you blocked. (see WP:NPA)

When posting, do not assume I know which article you are talking about. If you leave a message saying "Why did you revert me?", I will not know what you mean. If you want a response consisting of something other than "What are you talking about", please include links and, if possible, diffs in your message. At the very least, mention the name of the article or user you are concerned with.
Also, if you sign your post (by typing four tildes - ~~~~ - at the end of your message), I will respond faster, and I will tend to be in a better mood, because unsigned comments are one of my pet peeves.

If you are blocked from editing, you cannot post here, but your talk page is most likely open for you to edit. To request a review of your block, add {{unblock|reason}} to your talk page. (replace reason with why you think you should not be blocked.) I watch the talk pages of everyone I block, so I will almost definitely see you make your request. If I am making edits (check Special:Contributions/Doug Weller) and I do not answer your request soon, or you cannot edit your talk page for some reason, you can try sending me an email. Please note, however, that I rarely check my email more than a few times a day, so it may be a couple of hours before I respond.

Administrators: If you see me do something that you think is wrong, I will not consider it wheel-warring if you undo my actions. I would, however, appreciate it if you let me know what I did wrong, so that I can avoid doing it in the future.

You can email me from this link but in the interests of Wiki-transparency, please message me on this page unless there are pressing reasons to do otherwise. Comments which I find to be uncivil, full of vulgarities, flame baiting, or that are excessively rude may be deleted without response. If I choose not to answer, that's my right; don't keep putting it back. I'll just delete and get annoyed at you.

stateless nation

You know the lead sentence for stateless nation is unsourced too as well right?ApolloCarmb (talk) 12:11, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

I found a source calling Texans a stateless nation. https://books.google.com/books?id=Zu5GpDby9H0C&pg=PA1887&lpg=PA1887&dq=texas+stateless+nation&source=bl&ots=IOR9o0hyVK&sig=aMS9IyQGlg7BfTfIWB7NGgcQFWM&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwix2PS99c3aAhXHasAKHXkgB-gQ6AEIODAC#v=onepage&q=texas%20&f=false ApolloCarmb (talk) 12:50, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

  • See MOS:CITELEAD. Doug, that book is interesting. Greenwood is usually reputable, but that particular entry is so full of jingoism and jubilation that I wonder whether it slipped in after the final revision. I think it would be a good idea for some experts to look into that article before we accept that at face value--every now and then you run into these sources and wonder what the author, editor, managing editor, and publisher were thinking. Drmies (talk) 13:30, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
@Drmies: Yes, I read that while working on something else (ISIR), and was just amazed at the partisan nature of his comments. The book has other dubious statements if I recall correctly. I'm not sure what to do about it.
