Welcome to my talk page. Please adhere to the talk page guidelines and particularly the following:

Please post your new topic at the bottom of this page.
Please sign and date your entry by inserting "~~~~" at the end.
Please specify a descriptive "Subject/headline" for a new topic and separate subtopics by ===heading=== lines, if needed.
Please indent your posts with one more ":" than what you are replying to, i.e. begin with ":" if replying to an existing topic and "::" if replying to a reply.

I will generally respond here to comments that are posted here, rather than replying via your Talk page (or the article Talk page, if you are writing to me here about an article), so you may want to watch this page until you are responded to, or specifically let me know where you'd prefer the reply.

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)[reply]

Antarctica

The addition by an IP to Antarctica is supported by Gabriel de Castilla. FYI. Cheers! Jim1138 (talk) 23:05, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, well they'll have to add it without getting rid of so much content! ;) -- MacAddct1984 ^{(talk  contribs)} 23:06, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks for adding the source thing on the Republic of Ireland Act 1948 page. 86.41.2.94 (talk) 11:26, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

92.25.9.25

BTW: it wasn't a blanking. I would surmise that 92.25.9.25 is removing substantial garbage which is why I haven't reverted him. He is not being very helpful with his lack of edit summaries or talk page use either! Cheers! Jim1138 (talk) 01:03, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That was a mis-click, I meant removal of content. But yes, (s)he's got to be a bit more tactful and explanatory about removing such a large amount of (referenced) content. -- MacAddct1984 ^{(talk  contribs)} 01:06, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Bollocking

Who are you to give me a bollocking? 86.152.163.162 (talk) 13:59, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is how the community deals with vandalism, substantial warnings before an eventual block. -- MacAddct1984 ^{(talk  contribs)} 14:29, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your welcome

Thank you for your efforts that made you a target! Jim1138 (talk) 22:41, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Favor returned

Thank you for cleaning up my user talk! I got a good "Wiki love": vandalism accusing me of being a sockpuppet of: ClueBot! Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 06:54, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

khator

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)[reply]

I see that now, a few of those references are dead. For future reference, please add an edit summary to your edits, otherwise it appears as vandalism, especially when removing content. -- MacAddct1984 ^{(talk  contribs)} 23:47, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

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).[reply]

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)[reply]

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! Alasdepollo — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alasdepollo (talk • contribs) 00:35, 11 February 2012 (UTC) Cheers man!!really do appreciate getting your reply! Got annoyed of being "kicked out" from the page, but now I do understand. Thank you.(talk — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.37.130.112 (talk) 01:00, 11 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Businessman Danny Watts

I see you have started a discussion on my article on Danny Watts? For what reason? Then maybe I can defend it being here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bobby999UK (talk • contribs) 17:09, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

Your reverting the external link under Java Generics added by ted-gao

The link was to a decent tutorial on type wildcard, Java Generics. Could you please scan the tutorial before you revert the link again? Thanks. (talk)

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)[reply]

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)

Question from User:71.208.49.74

Excuse me but how are you supposed to talk to the administrators/users? _{From User:71.208.49.74 (Talk)}

Responded on user's talk page -- MacAddct1984 ^{(talk  contribs)} 02:08, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

Thank you for putting the citation to its place. I'm new at editing Wiki pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.116.68.105 (talk) 14:49, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

KeyScan Inc deletion?

Macaddct1984, There is a canadian company by the name of KeyScan in wikipedia. Can you please explain why KeyScan Inc US company with innovative products is bound for deletion. Advise is highly appreciated(OR 16:42, 18 February 2012 (UTC)). — Preceding unsigned comment added by February2012 (talk • contribs)

Articles must assert some form of notability. Not every company and organization is deserving of a Wikipedia article. Article must also have reliable sources and references independent of the subject. -- MacAddct1984 ^{(talk  contribs)} 16:57, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Macaddct1984,I have added few references.(OR 05:49, 19 February 2012 (UTC)) Hello Macaddct1984, took your advice and set up new page. Would it be possible for you to review and comment? Thanks --OR 14:07, 20 February 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by February2012 (talk • contribs)

Thanks again, following I made some more changes. Can you please review? --OR 19:33, 21 February 2012 (UTC)--OR 00:23, 23 February 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by February2012 (talk • contribs)

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Flash Clocks

I'm sorry if the page sounded promotional. I'm new here and would be so grateful if you can help by identifying specific areas that I could rework on to improve the article and any other way you can be of help. I do this purely on my personal interest and the desire to contribute and share knowledge. Thank you. [SAtalebe 03:05, 22 February 2012 (UTC)] — Preceding unsigned comment added by SAtalebe (talk • contribs)

Hi there, if I recall correctly, I believe the content was not notable and its only purpose seemed to be to promote the flash clock website. It may not have been your intention to advertise the site, but have a look at Wikipedia's policy on website articles. -- MacAddct1984 ^{(talk  contribs)} 12:02, 22 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion converted to PROD: Champagne City (Blue song)

Hello Macaddct1984. I am just letting you know that I have converted the speedy deletion tag that you placed on Champagne City (Blue song) to a proposed deletion tag, because I do not believe CSD applies to the page in question.

the issue of the complication

btw im 14 and im doing a powerpoint presentation on sweat shops and all my class mates are might be reading this right now and as soon as they read "issue" they might think " oh i guess its a problem then " and maybe if they read "complication" they might think " oh its complicated, so both anti - sweatshop and pro - sweatshop activists might be right. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.131.193.213 (talk) 01:09, 28 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Thanks! That defiantly helps!! :) Toontown59153 (talk) 21:09, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Moore Link

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Speedy deletion declined: Daksh Sahay

Hello Macaddct1984. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Daksh Sahay, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The article makes a credible assertion of importance or significance, sufficient to pass A7.

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.

Regards, Murrsky. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Murrsky (talk • contribs) 18:11, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Sincerely,

Professor Amiram Goldblum
