Why are you deleting the information I added? Are my sources unreliable?
Mongo, I have reliable sources. Why are you deleting what I added? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:C6:4004:60:C0EB:F416:2BD9:4D93 (talk) 17:32, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

Bridge (NHRP Louisville, Nebraska) listed at Redirects for discussion
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Bridge (NHRP Louisville, Nebraska). Since you had some involvement with the Bridge (NHRP Louisville, Nebraska) redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so.

Banff National Park
Hi Mongo, I'm thinking about rerunning this one at WP:TFA on Nov 25, the anniversary of its establishment as a nature reserve. Has the article held up well over the years? - Dank (push to talk) 19:25, 14 August 2017 (UTC)
- It went through a FARC in 2016 and I did a bunch of updates especially in the geology and glacier sections and the article was kept as a FA. It has been 11 years since it was mainpaged.--MONGO 19:57, 14 August 2017 (UTC)
- Great, thanks. Btw, the linkchecker found some dead links. - Dank (push to talk) 20:25, 14 August 2017 (UTC)
Rapprochement?
Hi Mongo, As always it's a long shot. But I just had a look at the WikiHistory page for the Collapse of the WTC . Did you know that you and I are the top two editors on the page? It seems to me that if we could reach a compromise it would be possible to produce a WP:GOOD article. It is also clear that it's your decision. So long as you oppose my contributions, the article seems destined to remain as it is. When I was banned, part of me hoped you were right and this would let the article make progress. It didn't. I think if you and I work together to establish some common ground and some boundaries, real progress could be made. Contact me anytime when the mood strikes you. Best,--Thomas B (talk) 21:47, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
(talk page watcher) This is getting a little silly from Thomas B. He claimed a couple of days ago that he would retire if his "contributions" were opposed. They were. And here he is again trying to stay in the picture after responses from several editors/admins either asking for great care or opposing his "edits". His deletion of mention of the hijackers was a defining moment, together with his previous "editing" history proves that he is pushing CT and POV theories. I have tried to steer a middle course through this latest spat, but his statements that he is prepared to retire have been proved to be untrue. Another topic ban appears to be the only alternative. David J Johnson (talk) 22:18, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
- Since he refuses to make efforts elsewhere its pretty obvious to me he's just wasting our time. In the mainstream articles about 9/11 events it's best we stick with the known facts and leave the conjecture and speculation in the CT articles which are spinoffs to these main ones.--MONGO 23:29, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

DYK nomination of Sprague Fire
Hello! Your submission of Sprague Fire at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Yoninah (talk) 23:22, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
- Yoninah, check now to see this is satisfactory.--MONGO 00:24, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
DYK for Sprague Fire
On 3 October 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Sprague Fire, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that during the Sprague Fire in Glacier National Park, the interior of the historic Sperry Chalet completely burned, leaving only the exterior stone walls standing? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Sprague Fire. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Sprague Fire), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

DYK you are awesome. That is all. Samir 05:05, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
- Thank you Samir--MONGO 12:00, 8 October 2017 (UTC)
FYI
Good article on Sperry Chalet for the articles you've been working on! http://www.greatfallstribune.com/story/outdoors/2017/10/10/story-not-over-glacier-parks-sperry-chalet-donations-surpass-goal/752125001/ Montanabw 21:52, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
- Thank you! I think they'll get it rebuilt. I bet by summer 2019 it will be up and running again. As big as they were, seems the Montana fires ended up looking rather uneventful compared to the disaster in California and the hurricane floods in Texas and Florida and the water and wind damage in Puerto Rico.--MONGO 00:38, 17 October 2017 (UTC)
Boris Galerkin
Hiya. Is there a reason you reverted my edits to Boris Galerkin? And then un-reverted your own edits? Thanks. 71.89.74.77 (talk) 02:49, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
- Sky blue. Planetary alignment. Finger slip. Error. Not worth it. Why would it matter and why do you care? --DHeyward (talk) 03:00, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
- Yes to all above.--MONGO 12:00, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
I'm a sockpuppet and wanted to leave this message as a farewell

Yellowstone
Do you think there might be a CIR problem? I glanced over some of their edits at other articles, and many of them are in the same vein: messing with wikilinks in lead sentences. Nice gif, by the way (but maybe BITEy???)—they look like progenitors of Darwinbish/fish. RivertorchWATER 16:06, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
- Something is amiss for sure. I have almost every park article watch listed and have reverted some but not every edit they have made. I'm particularly protective (maybe to a fault sometimes) any FA I see them edit and definitely think that they should seek consensus at talk first for anything for now on.--MONGO 17:16, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
