User talk:Mako001
Welcome to my talk page! If you haven't been here before, please read the below paragraphs.
Are you here because I reverted your edit? If so, please read the below First of all, click on all the links in the template I left on your user page (usually there will be one), and then post here if you still aren't sure why your edit was reverted. If your request is a reasonable objection (I.e. I stuffed up, again, since I am not exactly perfect), I will typically self-revert (if the edit is still live), strike the warning template, and leave an apology note below it. If, however, the edit cannot be reinstated in its current form, but can be made suitable, I will give some direction to policies, guidelines or help pages, and suggest that you try to fix it yourself first (you will probably learn more this way than if I do it for you). If you still aren't sure how to fix it, then let me know and I will make the requested change.
Dealing with discussions which need to be put on hold for a bit

Discussion is very important on Wikipedia. However, sometimes, due to various reasons, discussion sometimes ends up on a course which will never become productive, or resolve any kind of dispute. If this happens here, I may request that you temporarily refain from posting further messages here (except required notices), per WP:NOBAN. The objective is to act as a metaphorical circuit breaker (before we have a metaphorical fire). It is nothing against you or your viewpoint, but simply me assessing that the discussion needs to be put on hold for a while, since its current trajectory isn't going anywhere good. If I ask you to stay off, please respect this. I don't take it lightly. I will also try to stay out of your way for the duration of the temporary pause. |
Am I a bot?
I don't think I am, but I'm not entirely sure.
If I am acting a bit odd-er
Should I ever go on some random vandalism spree or start acting much weirder than usual (it can be pretty weird though), don't waste time warning me here, just limit the damage and block me immediately, as my account would have been compromised.
Archiving and deleting
I tend to keep this page trimmed down a bit, and will usually archive finished discussions fairly quickly (usually in less than a week). I don't like to delete them entirely, unless it is mere vandalism or personal attacks with no real critical value. Personal attacks with critical value will be archived as usual. I also delete any sort of "awards" given by editors later found to be sockpuppets, or evading a block. The archives can be found at Archive 0 (an old version of my talkpage), User talk:Mako001/Archive 1 and User talk:Mako001/Archive 2.

Hello, Mako001,
I don't know why, but you didn't post a talk page notice, informing the article creator that you nominated this article for AFD deletion. You used Twinkle which should have taken care of this notifications. Please check your Twinkle Preferences and make sure "Notify page creator" is checked off. And make sure when you tag an article/page for deletion that this box is checked off in the box Twinkle uses.
Whatever you think of this article, it's important to notify content creators when pages they worked on are being discussed for deletion. They can often work on improviging the article and they should be able to participate in the deletion discussion. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 01:50, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
- @Liz:Huh? I usually use twinkle, so it should have happened automatically, I must've unchecked it by mistake. Thanks for letting me know. Mako001 (C) (T) 🇺🇦 03:08, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
- @Liz: Also (a bit off topic but...) is there any way you could make your talkpage a bit smaller? It takes several minutes to load on my device. Mako001 (C) (T) 🇺🇦 03:56, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
Third World
Hi Mako, I just studied Google Ngram for 1 hour to ascertain the history of the use of "third world" in english litterature and I did supply references to old literature, early 20th century litterature, wiki articles and hundreds of books on NGRAM. as HTML references, and you broadly deleted the curious history of the term Third World which indubitably referred to theology and then to globalization. 2A02:8440:5440:A21F:4598:7DD9:84D3:7F14 (talk) 09:28, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
- The only source you provided was a Google search link, you need to cite your sources accurately, otherwise it cannot be verified. Mako001 (C) (T) 🇺🇦 09:34, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
help about upload to wiki
i wanted to add a video of topological changes of a village Maladkal so that people can understand the change in topography. i have got this from google timelapse and made a screen record from the site can i upload it to wikipedia if so how. i am asking this as i have seen your edit profile on the Maladkal topic. i am new please help N0madicSaint (talk) 10:10, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
- @N0madicSaint: Whilst you can add videos to Wikipedia, based on what you've said, your video may not comply with the copyright policy. This is because it would be a derivative work of wherever the topography data came from which probably won't be public domain.
- I'm not sure that the Google timelapse is going to be OK either, because even if it isn't copyright, I don't think that the Creative Commons licence is compatible.
- There should already be links to Openstreetmap content in the article, which should have topography data available, so it may not need a video to show it?
- Thanks for your efforts all the same, cheerio and happy editing! 🙂 Mako001 (C) (T) 🇺🇦 03:55, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
- thank you N0madicSaint (talk) 13:25, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
Randy Johnson edits
Hello,
I understand you reverted edits I made to the article on Randy Johnson because my comments did not adhere to a neutral point of view. My edits were intended to be stylistic revisions. While I acknowledge that I am a longtime fan of Randy's career, I don't see what comments I made lacked neutrality (other than general appraisals of his career, but these were already present in the version reverted to), and would appreciate hearing your point of view in better detail. Kind regards - Magzillas (talk) 21:02, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
- @Magzillas: Hello, I would like to apologise for the inaccurate reversion.
- Basically, as the policy goes, if the majority of reliable sources say those things about him, then it is considered to be the neutral point of view. Since it seems that this is probably the case, I don't object to your edit, and so I have restored it.
- Cheerio and happy editing! 🙂 Mako001 (C) (T) 🇺🇦 03:37, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
- Understood, I appreciate the follow-up and reconsideration. Re-reading my own edit, I think I can see what you were potentially concerned about, so I'll be sure to think more carefully about future edits and make sure that "summary" statements about a player's career don't simply become opinionated, general appraisals.
- Take care - Magzillas (talk) 04:06, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
