Hey McG, got any thoughts for who this guy is a sock of? Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:30, 17 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, just spotted your Maelbros SPI. Never mind! Good work reigning it all in, though.

James Morasco in Toynbee tiles article

Thanks for your good work and research on the Toynbee tiles article. Just to be clear: someone contacted Clark DeLeon of the Inquirer in 1983 claiming to be a social worker named James Morasco. This person has never been matched to an actual person with that name and occupation. The only person by that name living in Philadelphia in the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s was not a social worker, but a carpenter in the Chestnut Hill neighborhood who died in 2003. This Morasco was contacted by Worgul, etc., and his wife/widow insisted he was not connected to the Toynbee tiles. Best, CCS81 (talk) 21:52, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Tagging of Kuppiya

I recently removed a speedy delete tag that you had placed on Kuppiya. I do not think that Kuppiya fits any of the speedy deletion criteria because "one of the largest of Sri Lankan online communities originated in Sri Lanka" is a claim of significance. I request that you consider not re-tagging Kuppiya for speedy deletion without discussing the matter on the appropriate talk page. DES ^(talk) 00:33, 19 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

Carrie Morgridge

Hi. Just wanted to let you know that I have added a few more sources to this article and deprodded. Not sure if she'd pass an AFD and for sure the Foundation itself needs an article, but I think she's a bit beyond PROD at this point. :) --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 00:35, 25 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback

I have granted the "rollbacker" permission to your account. After a review of some of your contributions, I believe you can be trusted to use rollback for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, contact me and I will remove it. Good luck and thanks. – Gilliam (talk) 16:28, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, looks like that might save me some time. --McGeddon (talk) 16:33, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Deleting of signatures

Why is there a problem of deleting my signature in Toothbrush article? --Dragan (talk) 14:43, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you :-) --Dragan (talk) 14:49, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is that I want to remove my signatures in some way because of my privacy. I'm considering vanishing my accounts, but I think that will not remove/replace my old signatures in talk pages. What is your opinion? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Courtesy_vanishing --Dragan (talk) 14:57, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

OK than. Thank you. :-) --Dragan (talk) 15:03, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

OK. Do it. I'm introducing myself more to vanishing and found this sentence: "Note that your signature (on user talk pages, article talk pages and project discussion pages) will not be changed, and will, by default, be redirected to your new user name." It seems I or somebody else need to change those signatures in my old interactions manualy despite vanish because they represent my real name. As you see I changed my current signature but it not work retroactively. --Dragan (talk) 18:17, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

OK. It seems we are getting to the goal in one better way. Thank you for your help. :-) --Dragan (talk) 18:26, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
