Hello, I'm Jim1138. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Port Moresby, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Jim1138 (talk) 01:53, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
My apology on not getting back to you. Short attention span, so I do wp:RCP. You need to wp:cite wp:reliable sources for significant content. Please summarize your edits with an wp:edit summary especially if removing sources. If you remove content. See the help at the top of wp:cite page. You can access wp:Help on the left column "Help" link. BTW: I lived on Bougainville Island ~1971 and visited Port Moresby. I wish I had kept in touch with some of the people from New Guinea that I worked with. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 08:07, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
Wikipedia does get its share of racists. I and others try to skim edits, but many get through. Most of the Australians I knew seemed nice. And some were real pieces of work. I smuggled out sandwiches for my co-worker as he couldn't eat with us and hated the food and conditions. I did pick up a smattering of Tok Pisin to get around.

If you need any help, please wp:ping me to keep the conversation on one page? I am scatter-brained enough and having the conversation scattered about doesn't help! Jim1138 (talk) 08:16, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
