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.
Welcome to my talk page! I am an administrator here on Wikipedia. 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.

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, , 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. 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. |

Ramapough Lenape Nation
Greetings Doug. It's been awhile since i have made any edits.. I have found something new to add and needed your input o determine it it can be added. The source is a copy of the Supreme Court appeal from RAMAPOUGH MOUNTAIN INDIANS VS GALE A. NORTON – MAY 16TH, 2002, Docket 01-011703. The significance of this is the BIA failed to recognize us publically but in court they admitted they do. Last paragraph of Page 11.
[1]Cert of Writ
This changes the reason of why we were denied. Please advise your opinion. Ramapoughnative (talk) 21:21, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
- @Ramapoughnative: Sadly we hardly ever use that sort of material but I've raised the issue at WP:RSN#Ramapough Mountain Indians and a report on an oral court argument. Doug Weller talk 13:54, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

Polygonal Wall
Hi Doug, the shape of those or design of the wall is clearly polygonal. I walked around it in Gympie, made photos. Those stones are all of different shape and set together without use of mortar. The wall is part of the history there and simply unexplained.
Please have a look at a video 'Pyramid Polygano Wall Gympie Queensland' at youtube. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikigetsme123 (talk • contribs) 16:17, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

Edit to Politifact article
Hi Doug,
I am inquiring about your recent edits to the Politifact article. My contributions at the end of the article's introduction were removed, citing unattributed, "dubious" sources. This will be corrected. However, the preceding sentence uses little-known, local sources (Milwaukee Magazine and Rhode Island Future, respectively). I am seeking further clarity on this. How are the aforementioned sources considered reliable, especially compared to well-known, national publications, and shouldn't the statement be appropriately attributed in-text regardless?
