Hey McGwyver: I found you in the Recent changes page, this page had a question mark, meaning that obviously no one had welcomes you yet. Youre only the second person in two years I get to welcome aboard. I myself was welcomed by Mav.

My main subjects here are boxing and airlines. But everyonce in a while, I wander off, such as when I wrote about Menudo or Arrowhead Water or Grand Theft Auto: Vice City or anything else Im a fan of.

Thanks for your message, and God bless you!

Sincerely yours, Antonio Bolthead Martin

PS: checking your user page, I thought you'd be interested in List of teen idols, I originated the page, feel free to update it as needed.

DYKcheck compatible with Google Chrome

Hi Mgm,

It's good to see you editing again (well, one edit...). Since you were the first to suggest I make DYKcheck compatible with Google Chrome, I thought I'd let you know that I made some compatibility tweaks a few months ago, and the script now runs fine on Chrome.

Survey on quality control policies

As part of a project funded by the European Commission (QLectives), we are collecting and analysing data to study quality control mechanisms and inclusion/deletion policies in Wikipedia. According to our records, you participated in a large number of AfD. We are currently soliciting editors with a long record of participation in AfD discussions to send us their feedback via a very informal survey.

The survey takes less than 5 minutes and is available at this URL. Should you have any questions about this project, feel free to get in touch.

Thanks for your help! --DarTar (talk) 10:09, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Seed hibernation

Hello MacGyverMagic, this is a message from an automated bot to inform you that the page you created, Seed hibernation, has been marked for speedy deletion by User:70.125.130.6. This has been done because the page is unquestionably a copyright infringement, and no assertion of permission has been made (see CSD). If you think the tag was placed in error, please add "{{hangon}}" to the page text, and edit the talk page to explain why the page should not be deleted. If you have a question about this bot, please ask it at User talk:SDPatrolBot II. If you have a question for the user who tagged the article, see User talk:70.125.130.6.

ViiV Healthcare speedy deletion

An article I started on ViiV Healthcare was speedily deleted earlier today on the grounds that the company isn't suitably notable enough. It's a company with revenues of over $1bn [2] and the rights to many of the currently available HIV therapies. I can't believe that it can be considered to be un-notable? Could you possibly help me out with this? Wikipediatastic (talk) 16:46, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Founders College

Read this article in the Chronicle of Higher Education and was surprised Founders College with its curious short-lived history was not on Wikipedia. However, I see that it was deleted, according to its deletion log due to a lack of reliable sources. Do you think this source makes the now defunct college noteworthy again? Kristensson (talk) 23:48, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The source definitely helps, but notability is usually established by multiple reliable sources (as this seems to be). You could try contacting the journalist to see if she dug anything up to add to the interviews. - Mgm|^(talk) 20:15, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dakon band article, recovery request

Hello MacGyverMagic,

Recently an article I was working on was deleted. The title was "Dakon", I worked at that article till late at night gathering online resources and completing them and I simply forgot to save a copy of it. Can you please recover it so that I'll be able to save on my PC. I was advised to do so by Gilo1969, the guy who nominated it for deletion.

Nomination of Rodney Morison for deletion

Resolved

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Rodney Morison is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rodney Morison (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Sadads (talk) 13:50, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Macula risk page

I have left a request for help on the Macula Risk page- the user tools are exasperating to say the least

if someone can/should feel like helping me, please let me know by E-mail ([email protected]), not this awful interface —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gbelgraver (talk • contribs) 17:33, 19 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

MGM- Since someone has placed an arbitary block on the content of the Macula Risk page, how can I start creating a temporary page? Are you suggesting I use another day of work to build it from scratch? Who can place the Macula Risk page in some kind of 'static' pen so that I can take a look at what I had previously written?

I did not save my work in some kind of seperate file precisely because of the fact that once I was done, I could see what I had written, and had access to the source code on the page?

Also, if someone who is part of some kind of science editorial sub-board in wiki-land can please explain to me what elements of description of a genetic test and the different genetic markers in that test are the offending issue, that would be very much appreciated

I do not understand this police-state approach where someone is telling me I have done something wrong, and then proceeds to provide me all kind of unhelpful information, instead of just saying 'if you do this, then there are no problems'? The content I provided is unbiased and contains only references from academic publication.

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Requesting unprotection of ZP Theart

Hello, MacGyverMagic. I am here to request the unprotection of the page ZP Theart, which has been protected since 2009 due to several editors "unredirecting" it despite the lack of individual notability. Well, now that he has left DragonForce and started his own project, I believe we can create a separated article for him (as briefly discussed here), but first I need to have that page unprotected. Would that be possible? Thanks, Victão Lopes ^{I hear you...} 14:42, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Core Gamers

Hi, looking for a copy including ALL formatting and etc. etc. of the deleted page The Core Gamers. They are a national group that is in 3 sections of Canada; Vancouver Island, BC, Richmond, BC, and Greenwood, NS, however I guess I do not yet have enough outside references. I know that I have 19 Wing Comox BC that can be verified, and 14 Wing Greenwood, NS, and I have Comments about them in GottaCon's past and Dak-Kon's past as well that would; I would have thought; be enough references, however I don't have any newspaper articles or magazine articles about them yet. However it took me some 8 hours to do that entire write up and format it properly and get the references down properly so rather than have to start ALL OVER again I would greatly appreciate the original page with the formatting be emailed back to me if possible. If you could also tell me how I could keep the page about them up, I would greatly appreciate that as well.

Proposed deletion of Jack Moule

The article Jack Moule has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Received via OTRS 2012121610007472 from the page subject - reason supplied - The page is out of date, there are no reliable sources to specifically provide the correct information, It has been vandalised in the past. Also outside of Wikipedia I have received some abuse and bullying for having it there. As I

have now moved on and to not compete so this is irrelevant to me now.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Deletion of page 'Besam Yousef'.

I saw that admins have deleted the Besam Yousef-page that I re-created, I didn't accually know that one other page about the subject had been up before. I understand that it was deleted due to the fact that there's already been a similar page up that also was deleted. So what should I do? There is an interest for a wiki-page about Besam Yousef, not just from my own part. Besam Yousef is currently fighting in the UFC and it would be nice to have a page linked when the name comes up in terms about results, record etc on other pages. And from what I'm concerned the page i wrote was legit, I don't know about the previous one but mine included all things other pages about MMA-fighters does, the facts were correct and I put in all the sources to the context. So tell me, what can I do to make this page stay available if I will create it again, if possible?

And I've understand that you could send me a copy of my deleted page, but I got backup on all of it.

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity

Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in over one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process.

Contests

User:Dr. Blofeld has created Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/Contests. The idea is to run a series of contests/editathons focusing on each region of Africa. He has spoken to Wikimedia about it and $1000-1500 is possible for prize money. As someone who has previously expressed interest in African topics, would you be interested in contributing to one or assisting draw up core article/missing article lists? He says he's thinking of North Africa for an inaugural one in October. If interested please sign up in the participants section of the Contest page, thanks.♦ --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 01:31, 21 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Air Bud: Aussie Rules

I noticed that, about a decade ago, Air Bud: Aussie Rules was nominated for deletion, and that the final consensus was to have the article redirected to Air Bud. Given that no reliable sources have even alluded to the film being considered by the scriptwriters at all, it probably is best to have Air Bud: Aussie Rules listed at Redirects for Discussion. 76.126.49.152 (talk) 21:36, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

ITN archives

Hi. I hope you are doing well. I am glad to tell you that Wikipedia:In the news/Posted/Archives are now fully available, with all the vandalism/disruptive edits removed. While creating the bot for the archival process, I went through a lot of the older posts, you are one of the editors whose name popped quite often in ITN in "back in the day", so I personally wanted to let you know about the archives I hope you see this message someday. —usernamekiran (talk) 22:04, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
