Your rollback request

Hello Macaddct1984, I have granted rollback rights to your account in accordance with your request. Please be aware that rollback should be used to revert vandalism/spam/blatantly unconstructive edits, and that using it to revert anything else (such as by revert-warring or reverting edits you disagree with) can lead to it being removed from your account...sometimes without any warning, depending on the admin who becomes aware of any misuse. If you think an edit should require a reason for reverting, then don't use rollback and instead, use a manual edit summary. For practice, you may wish to see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback. Good luck. Acalamari 11:55, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

i assume this is how you talk. never done this before. sorry if it's wrong the parts i removed from Khator's page are wrong - look at the citations. they don't say anything about what's mentioned, and one of them is dead. it's a Public Relations take on Khator that is unrealistic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.197.160.245 (talk) 23:39, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Medieval music topic Request

Hello Macaddct1984, I think you're completely wrong marking me as spam. What I was doing was simply adding more cultural sense of how "medieval music" should be shown (in this case with music attached). For those who really do have cultural background (it was my final dissertation music), we know what are we doing. I do invite you to visit my website, and next time judge before taking actions without sense User:Alasdepollo 00:53 , 11 February 2012 —Preceding undated comment added 23:54, 10 February 2012 (UTC).

I appreciate your knowledge of the subject, however, Wikipedia is not a collection of links and is not the function of the site to list every reference and resource on each subject. Now, for two days straight various anonymous IP accounts, as well as yours, have been trying to inject this YouTube channel into the article. The content on the channel can only be considered original research and unless the channel is directly related to the article, it does not belong there. -- MacAddct1984 (talk • contribs) 00:20, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

Ok, thank you very much for letting me known. Yes, those were my attempts to put my "music research" online. I created even this account, as I did considered it was a great background for the medieval music article (I did see there are many religious links attached but none secular). Sorry, maybe I tried to much tho! However, surely it is more related that seems. Anyway, thanks for taking your time and being polite too!

Articles on Wikipedia must adhere to a certain notability and require reliable sources, especially in the case of biographies. It's currently being discussed here, if you'd like to voice your opinion. -- MacAddct1984 (talk • contribs) 17:13, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

While it may have been in your best intentions, Wikipedia is not a collection of links. Please have a look at what links are best to be avoided. The link you're adding, along with your username, makes me (and others, it seems) suspicious of your intentions and an apparentconflict of interests, specifically self-promotion. At the moment, your link just is not appropriate. --MacAddct1984 (talk • contribs) 02:32, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

I thought that the number one reason for Wikipeida's existence was to make knowledge (easily) accessible for people. I understand that there must be certain controls on external links. The governance, however, can be done a little bit more technical (or with a little bit more intelligence - solely in the technological sense). I myself benefited frequently from external links on Wikipedia and I believe others may benefit from the external link that I added. The only thing promoted is the article linked to. I have to say that I am very disappointed by the way that you use your power. -- ted-gao (talk)

Greek police

Ah. So if I get an article about those murders, can I put a list back on, please? Does the article have to be in English? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.255.177.125 (talk) 14:52, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

English-language articles are preferred, but there is a policy regarding non-English language sources. The primary factor is that it must be a reliable source. Also, be careful of how you phrase it, as murder has certain implications behind it, particularly that it was a planned killing. Perhaps "implicated in the deaths of" would be more neutral. -- MacAddct1984 (talk • contribs) 14:58, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
ok, good enough. I got links which show that the Greek Police have conspired to kill or premeditated to kill people, especially immigrants and that killing a civilian is regarded as an "internal affair" in the Greek police force. This especially true of the murder of Alexis Grhgoropoulos. The links are in Greek though. So, my question is, what would be an acceptable level of verifiability in order to preserve the word "murder"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.255.177.125 (talk) 15:05, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
If you find a reliable source, such as a newspaper article, that uses the phrase "murder", it might be more justified. I'm not very familiar with the incidents surrounding the Greek police, but I think it's generally best to remain as neutral as possible. If "killing" or "fatally shot" can be used instead of "murder", it's probably for the best. -- MacAddct1984 (talk • contribs) 15:38, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

Urshan College

I am wondering why my page "Urshan College" was deleted. It states it was deleted for G8 that it depended on a deleted site. Both of the sites that I reference in the article are currently existing sites. This is an educational institution and I made this article in order to outline the school itself. If any changes should be made, please let me know. I would like to ask that you reconsider removing the page. I am more than willing to make any changes. Thank you! Tdhenson86(talk) 02:46, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

I was not the one who made the executive decision on the deletion of the article. I initially recommended it for deletion because it read like a promotional advert for a college that (it appeared) had not even opened yet. It probably is likely to fail on the notability aspect as well. However, if you'd like to get in touch with the person who ultimately removed it, the deletion log says Peridon is the person. You can contact him on his talk page. Make sure to have reliable sources as well as independent citations. Good luck! -- MacAddct1984 (talk • contribs) 02:56, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

I appreciate your input. I apologize if the site seemed to be promotional or advertisement. This college has already been approved. It is actually a merger of two current schools. They will host their first classes under the new name this fall. I simply wanted to include a page on the new name of the school and information about changes to the school. Thank you! Tdhenson86 (talk) 20:01, 20 February 2012 (UTC)


Could you please take a look at the new page and give me feedback? Peridon has looked at it and made some edits. I would love your input as well. Thank you! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Tdhenson86/Urshan_College Tdhenson86 (talk) 22:38, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Just a Question

If an article is made and posted for deleation, how long would it take to be deleated?

Thanks! Toontown59153 (talk) 18:38, 21 June 2012 (UTC)


It depends on how it's classified. If the article is considered a candidate for speedy deletion, it's deleted very quickly. PROD is for articles that should probably be deleted quickly, but don't quite meet the specific criteria for speedy deletion. Finally, there's Articles for Deletion (AFD), which require a group discussion and consensus before they get deleted. Those are generally used for articles that someone feels is not quite notable enough for an article.
Hope that helps! -- MacAddct1984 (talk • contribs) 19:25, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

you deleted the addition before I add the link, this was quick. Do you have time limitation when you can review and add. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.18.180.58 (talk) 14:42, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

Your addition had more than just the issue of being unsourced. Wikipedia has a very strict policy on biographies on living persons. Content on Wikipedia, especially biographies, must adhere to a neutral point of view. The statment: "Dr. Moore is the greatest embryologist in medicine." certainly fails NPOV and is an impossible claim to source. Furthermore, sources need to be reliable and your constant addition of this link almost certainly fails that test. -- MacAddct1984 (talk • contribs) 14:54, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

MAACA.org

Hey there Macaddct1984,

Just noticed your message in regards to the post not quite being for an encyclopedia, I'm just trying to figure out why exactly?, maaca.org is a website dealing with tips, how to's and tons more knowledge into the hobby of Pinball, anyone looking for information in regards to their machines, even quick help to fix something usually gets an answer within minutes and can bring their historic machine back to life. The entire premise of this site is the hobby aspect of pinball, arcade machines and the love to keep them alive.

Sorry if someone looking up "Pinball" wouldn't like to find a great source and information in regards to their machines, history, and fixing/repairing tips.

please do let me know if there is a way our source could be added.

Thank you.

User:Rastiniak comment

The page where my name was smeared as a non-zionist is the work of a group of liers that are Jewish facsicts.

There is not a single evidence to call me an anti zionist except for me having charged these people legally at the court in Israel and their hatred to me because I represent for them the native sabra Israeli who fought in Israeli wars while they were picking their noses.


I can only warn you that if you do not delete my name from the list of these infamous people you are yourself subject to the possibility of legal charges against you.

Hi there Rastiniak, just to begin by clarifying, my edit was a response to these edits by you, which certainly violates Wikipedia's policy on maintaining a neutral point of view. Looking at the biographical article you take issue with, I agree that the sources look dubious and likely fails Wikipedia's very strict policy on biographies of living people. While writing this, it appears FisherQueen has removed the controversial content and it should stay that way until more reliable sources can be provided. -- MacAddct1984 (talk • contribs) 18:35, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi Macaddct, would it be appropriate to add links to nonprofit organizations in the "additional links" section of those articles?

Hi there. I noticed you added information about the Giving Library in the John D. Arnold article, which is certainly relevant and appropriate. However, other articles that are tangentially associated with the website should really not be included and most of the non-profits have official websites that are already listed. External links that should be avoided is a good resource and guideline to use. -- MacAddct1984 (talk &#149; contribs) 14:59, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation. However, I'm still a bit confused. Would you classify the Executive Director of, say, O'Neill Sea Odyssey, talking about the organization (as was included in the link I provided) as only "tangentially related" to the O'Neill Sea Odyssey page ? It seems highly relevant to me. Additionally, I'm not sure which of the "links to be avoided" I am violating. Perhaps it's "links mainly intended to promote a website," but the website itself is intended to promote the organizations and has no stake in promoting itself. In addition, seeing as the site is entirely free, clean and does not sell ads. It does not seem to violate any of the other items listed. Thanks for your assistance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.193.253.212 (talk) 16:10, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

It may perhaps be more appropriate to list it as a reference within the article, rather than a direct external link. For example "The director appeared in and said such and such in a Giving Library video. [1]". However, these references seem more appropriate in a Giving Library article rather than the reverse. If you feel it's truly notable and relevant to the article (perhaps passing notable events), go ahead and add it, but I would be cautious adding it as an embedded link, like this as it is poor practice. -- MacAddct1984 (talk &#149; contribs) 04:18, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

The Search for King Solomon's Mines duplication

Hi, I see that you correctly moved The Search For King Solomon's Mines to The Search for King Solomon's Mines.

The film is fictional, not a documentary, so it's very possible 4chan doesn't even exist in the film's universe. The only official synopsis comes from the official movie page which makes no mention of the origin of the urban legend. Until the movie is released or a reliable source is available, it's best to just leave out speculation about its origin. -- MacAddct1984 (talk &#149; contribs) 16:01, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

I'm contacting you because, as a participant at Wikiproject Medicine, you may be interested in a new multinational non-profit organization we're forming at m:Wikimedia Medicine. Even if you don't want to be actively involved, any ideas you may have about our structure and aims would be very welcome on the project's talk page.

Our purpose is to help improve the range and quality of free online medical content, and we'll be working with like-minded organizations, such as the World Health Organization, professional and scholarly societies, medical schools, governments and NGOs - including Translators Without Borders.

Hope to see you there! --Anthonyhcole (talk) 06:56, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

The Wikipedia Library now offering accounts from Cochrane Collaboration (sign up!)

The Wikipedia Library gets Wikipedia editors free access to reliable sources that are behind paywalls. Because you are signed on as a medical editor, I thought you'd want to know about our most recent donation from Cochrane Collaboration.

  • Cochrane Collaboration is an independent medical nonprofit organization that conducts systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials of health-care interventions, which it then publishes in the Cochrane Library.
  • Cochrane has generously agreed to give free, full-access accounts to 100 medical editors. Individual access would otherwise cost between $300 and $800 per account.
  • If you are still active as a medical editor, come and sign up :)

Cheers, Ocaasi t | c 20:25, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

I have decided to put on a mini-contest within the November 2013 monthly disambiguation contest, on Saturday, November 23 (UTC). I will personally give a $20 Amazon.com gift card to the disambiguator who fixes the most links on that server-day (see the project page for details on scoring points). Since we are not geared up to do an automated count for that day, at 00:00, 23 November 2013 (UTC) (which is 7:00 PM on November 22, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the project page leaderboard. I will presume that anyone who is not already listed on the leaderboard has precisely nine edits. At 01:00, 24 November 2013 (UTC) (8:00 PM on November 23, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the leaderboard at that time (the extra hour is to give the board time to update), and I will determine from that who our winner is. I will credit links fixed by turning a WP:DABCONCEPT page into an article, but you'll have to let me know me that you did so. Here's to a fun contest. Note that according to the Daily Disambig, we currently have under 256,000 disambiguation links to be fixed. If everyone in the disambiguation link fixers category were to fix 500 links, we would have them all done - so aim high! Cheers! bd2412 T 02:57, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
