Hello McGeddon

We are not much acquainted by the Wikipedia, but time to time edit few pages come under our expertise . If you have something to add in the page Cave research in India please go ahead, otherwise please do not edit or cut any line from it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Biospeleologist (talk • contribs) 07:37, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

Help to keep the better photograph

Hello McG, Greetings! I have noticed that you have reverted the edits done by me in Ear and Toothbrush. In case of Ear, I don't think it is lacking EV and quality and the cropping also not taking away the EV of the photograph. In Toothbrush, none of the images in the article are of the same quality of the picture added by me. Please reconsider your reversion and help me to keep the photographs in the respective articles. As you can see I am one of the tireless contributor to wiki and love to continue doing it, please don't discourage me. Thanks and Regards : Blacknclick (talk) 06:42, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

• McG,

But still, do you think the supporting parts are relevant for demonstrating ear ? The article specifically speaks about the ear not any other part. I have noticed in many other examples to reach a decision to crop the ear in that manner, please think once again. In the Toothbrush, none of the images are in the same quality and clarity of my image, when we demonstrate, do it in a better way, that was my intention not to give simple images for just showing purpose ...

Regarding my recently deleted edit (again)

What do you mean by "third party"? The videos were authored by Jim Sterling who was directly involved in the feud about which the section talked.

Wikipedia:TOP100 listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Wikipedia:TOP100. Since you had some involvement with the Wikipedia:TOP100 redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 15:50, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

Swatting

I agree that there is useful information in the link about the possible 'scale' of swatting incidents, but the source for this information is a clearly biased piece seeking to link the practice to a specific movement on questionable and circumstantial evidence (the "subforum on Reddit" being accused is not identified, and there's nothing I can see linking the "baphomet" 8chan board to Gamergate; 8chan, being an imageboard site, is essentially "social media" just like Reddit, and as such its individual boards don't inherently have anything to do with each other). Also, it's been suggested to me that getting this link into Wikipedia may be part of an attempt to include additional criticism of Gamergate (in particular, branding as an "online harassment campaign") in Wikipedia, after a change to the article title was rejected. 76.64.33.209 (talk) 15:52, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

Edit conflict

Thanks for fixing the place of birth thing again. I was trying to resolve an edit conflict and missed that difference. Bazj (talk) 14:00, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

Paul Ewing (actor)

Just wanted to hear your arguments for accepting this AfC submission. Besides 2 minor mentions in The Guardian (definitely not extensive) there is absolutely no coverage about him that is independent and reliable. Ping me if possible. Regards, FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 20:18, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

Didn't create this article-but it went to me as I moved it right when you put that up-might want to change your prod log and send the message to the right person. Thanks. Wgolf (talk) 19:48, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

Games The Shop (Retail)

The page Games The Shop has been deleted. Is there no way some country's only specialist retailer can have a page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Allwyndsouza10 (talk • contribs) 04:53, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

Wordcaster Media and Public Relations

Hi McGreddon

Im new to Wikipedia and finding adding factual info on my own business time consuming. that is why I have copied content from my own LinkedIn page for speed (I drafted it!) and am confused as to why you want to delete my page. Im not sure what other source I can use?

Please advise. thank you and sorry to cause you additional work! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Barns206 (talk • contribs) 08:07, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

Awesome Tones (Band) deletion

Hello McGeddon. could you please give a reason why the page "Awesome Tones (Band)" was deleted and how we can improve on it. Also will be undeleted after we meet the criteria... if so how? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Victordairo (talk • contribs) 14:02, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

Dean (South Korean Singer)

could you please change this back to our original title.. or make it Dean (Artist) or Dean (Singer) or Dean (Singer-Songwriter)? Because although Dean's ethnicity may be Korean, he's single was released in United States of America as a American Singer. Please... I work at Joombas as a SNS Marketing department and our boss and Dean is not too happy that South Korean was added to his title.. If you could could change it to one of those title, that would be very appreciated. Josephyangjoombas (talk) 19:01, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

Make Systematic the Page (Biswas)

Few days back the page Biswas was arranged in a very systematic way by categorizing the personalities having title Biswas according to their respective fields. Unfortunately you have revert the same. The present structure is not at all appreciating as while mixing the same the internationally renowned persons and ordinary (merely notable) persons are standing in a same order and which is not justified. You are requested to think again regarding the page.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Dimpionly (talk • contribs) 19:18, 18 July 2015‎

Bestfriendwhatnotever

I had a look at this guy's contributions and concluded they can't possibly be anything other than just random names put in infoboxes for a "laugh". I've deleted all of them per WP:CSD#G3 and told them they'll get a block if they do it again. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 14:02, 21 July 2015 (UTC)

Streisand effect

Why did you revert my edit? The Nikki Catsouras article does indeed mention the Streisand effect. Just do CTRL-F and search for "Streisand" and you'll find it. —Мандичка^YO 😜 07:30, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

Victor O'Frank

I do not understand the reasons you provided for the deletion of my article. Could you please remove the tag and maybe try to confirm the sources on the page. I will be making edits on the article just so i can get it in order.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Vic2tee4u (talk • contribs) 22:57, 24 July 2015‎

Teardrop tattoo edits

I notice you removed the 'prison reference' to the teardrop tattoo. It is a criminal tattoo and noted as such in the Wikipedia page on criminal tattoos.

Lil Wayne of course is a famous wearer who has spent time in prison and the only reason Amar'e Stoudemire was included in the 'adopters' section is specifically because his brother was in prison; it would be pointless to list every teardrop tattoo wearer; these were put there specifically.

Another wearer; Amy Winehouse had a teardrop tattoo after her husband was incarcerated.

http://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2007/dec/10/amywinehousetattoo

Would it be okay to add the above article as a reference?— Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.148.82.40 (talk • contribs) 10:31, 25 July 2015‎

Verification needed

In the teardrop tattoo page; the references do state the tattooed wearer was raped while incarcerated but nowhere does it say in any reference 'the number of times'.

Prison rape is common and you wouldn't see a prisoner with 100 teardrop tattoos for example. There would usually be one and it would indicate the prisoner was 'owned' and/or used for sex and often forcibly tattooed.

I think 'number of times' should be removed as you will not find a prisoner that is raped on a daily basis by multitudes of prisoners covered in teardrop tattoos.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.148.82.40 (talk • contribs) 10:33, 25 July 2015‎

Why

Why was my page marked as a speedy? Did you even read the entire article? Because without reading the article, you have no idea of it's contents. It is not a "web blog". When I created the article, about 2 minutes later a tag was put on it. You couldn't have possibly read the whole thing that fast. Learn to read, and learn to make deletion discussions.

James Cooper Proposed Deletion

There are plenty of secondary sources. Why do you keep on nominating it for deletion?

What does a book called Love and Ice: The Tragic Obsessions of Dr. Elisha Kent Kane, Arctic Explorer have to do with spiritualism, Henry Grinnell and the Fox sisters? --McGeddon (talk) 19:57, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

Not being a practiced Wikipedia user, I am going nuts trying to figure out how to respond to you these last few days. I hope this is the correct vehicle. Your concern seems to be that the book (Love and Ice) suggested as a reference in several articles is only tenuously related to the articles. This is hardly the case. Here are extracts from the blurb for the book, which covers Arctic exploration, spiritualism, and even the Resolute desk: "This is the story of the famed explorer who perhaps was the greatest American hero of the 1850s . . . . The poignant love affair between Kane and Margaret Fox, the Spiritualist medium, adds heart-warming contrast tp the explorer's frigid adventures in the Arctic." Furthermove, Henry Grinnell was Dr. Elisha Kent Kane's sponsor. And the Resolute Desk (for which you have removed the reference) was a direct result of the Kane/Grinnel relationship and is the complete subject of the book's Appendix. I do not understand how you can judged the relevancy of a book to an article based solely on its title. I hope this clarifies your concerns. Thank you for your attention and I hope this message reaches you.
