Beat Glogger

[edit]

Your article on Beat Glogger was proposed for deletion by another editor. As reviewing administrator, I removed the deletion tag, because it seems he has won two national-level prizes. However, the article really needs some references from third party independent published reliable sources, print or online, such as book reviews, and a source for being awarded the prizes. . I advise you to do this very quickly, before the article gets deleted by a regular deletion process. DGG (talk) 23:05, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Admin Coaching

[edit]

I saw that you were listed in the Coaches for reconfirmation section of the admin coaching status page. Could you please update your status, and if you are still interested, drop me a note on my talk page? Thanks, Genius101Guestbook 14:22, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Really?

[edit]

Shall I post it here? Do you mind if I ask why you're interested? I've got 55 plants, 2 fungi, and 42 animals so far... -GTBacchus(talk) 00:33, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, here goes. I've taken out some of the in-between taxa (subfamilies and such), because it's much easier to make the indenting work this way. I would have to be cleverer with find/replace, or just more patient, to turn each line into a wikilink. It would also be cool if I could put all the kingdoms, phyla, classes, and maybe orders into toggleboxes so they could be zipped up. Anyway:

note - I've also pasted a copy of this to User:GTBacchus/Species list, where I'll keep it up to date and start linking it up and otherwise wikifying it. Could be a useful resource, at the very least because I can take pictures. -GTBacchus(talk) 18:05, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, User:GTBacchus/Species list is much more useful. I'll keep that one up-to-date, too! -GTBacchus(talk) 19:17, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Request for Participation in Wikipedia Research

[edit]

Mac Davis,

Your Request for Adminship (RfA) process was reviewed and studied by our research team at Carnegie Mellon University early in our project to gain insights into the process. We reviewed what voters discussed about your case, and what qualifications you brought to the table as a candidate. In total 50 cases were personally read and reviewed, and we based our further research questions in part on your case.

In continuing our research, I would like to personally invite you to participate in a survey we are conducting to get perspective from people who have participate in the RfA process. The survey will only take a few minutes of your time, and will aid furthering our understanding of online communities, and may assist in the development of tools to assist voters in making RfA evaluations. We are NOT attempting to spam anyone with this survey and are doing our best to be considerate and not instrusive in the Wikipedia community. The results of this survey are for academic research and are not used for any profit nor sold to any companies. We will also post our results back to the Wikipedia community.

This survey is part of an ongoing research project by students and faculty at the Carnegie Mellon University School of Computer Science and headed by Professor Robert Kraut.


Take the survey


Thank you!

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free comment on my talk page.

I'm not sure what you were trying to do here, but you created this redirect which linked back to itself. I can't find an obvious alternative to link it to, so I've deleted it as WP:CSD#G8. Feel free to recreate it if there's a viable destination. —  Tivedshambo  (t/c) 18:00, 13 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Mac Davis! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 733 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag.

Admin Coaching: Reconfirmation

[edit]

I was looking through the coaches at Wikipedia:Admin_coaching/Status and saw that there are a lot under "reconfirmation".

Could you let me know if you are still interesting in being involved with Admin Coaching, or if you would prefer to have your name removed from the "reconfirmation" list. If you want to be involved, could you please move your entry from "Reconfirmation" to "Active" and indicate how many students you would be willing to have (obviously, if you are actively coaching at the moment, then please indicate this!)

If I do not hear from you within a week, I will assume that you would like to have your name removed from the list of coaches.

Tertiary explosive

[edit]

I came across this article and it seemed a bit stub-ish, and I noticed you were the major author of substance. I'm debating merging it into Explosive Materials (which already has a section on Primary and Secondary), and wondered if you had any objections.
