Hi, DMacks! I was wondering if you could help to calm or resolve a dispute at Julie MacDonald? I've tagged the article ((POV)) and tried to explain why at Talk:Julie MacDonald#Neutrality disputed. The passions on the Talk page seem to be running quite high, so it would be nice to get another set of eyes on the article. You previously briefly edited the article, so I thought you may be interested. All feedback and help is welcome! Thanks! hike395 (talk) 14:01, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
DMacks, changing the reason midstride for imposing deletion as attempts at following arbitary guidelines in several different areas are being researched and worked on - then hitting the delete button before the author can fully comply - is simply deplorable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cawfiebean (talk • contribs) 08:18, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

I am leaving you this note because you have edited this article in the past. While vandal-watching today I noticed the removal by CaseyHamMD (talk · contribs) of the entire "Criticism" section. This looked to me like common vandalism, so I reverted it with the rollback tool. Checking the article history, I saw that rollback had reverted a string of 12 edits and, checking them, it was clearly not a case of simple vandalism: on the other hand, the edits showed a pattern of removing properly-sourced criticism and inserting favourable opinions which suggested that CaseyHamMD had a COI and was not editing from a NPOV. He had made one earlier edit of a similar type, which I have also reverted.
He is a new editor, first edit 24 Sep, and his talk page was blank. I have given him a standard welcome paragraph and a note explaining what I have done, outlining relevant WP policies, and inviting him if he wants his changes made to outline them on the article talk page and try to reach consensus.
As I personally know nothing about the subject, I am posting this note to editors who have worked on the article and seem to be still active, so that they can take part in the discussion and/or watch the article.

Hi I am not even sure I am doing this in the correct area so if I am not please bear with me. You deleted a page I was placeing for my company Caffeine Nights Publishing as blatant advertising. I think my original effort may have been naïve but they were in no way meant to have been 'Blatant Advertising' My last attempt I felt was well within the guidlines set by Wikipedia and I have seen similar pages. I only mentioned the start date of the company and the fact that it uses environmentally an friendly approach to publishing. There was no mention of any of the title published or links to website, so I am confused. What can I do to ensure I have a page on Wikipedia for my company?
Kind regards,

Hey, what warnings would you think are appropriate at this point for the IP? The trouble is that the edits when treated individually cannot be considered vandalism, they appear to be constructive, but overall they are making a change to the whole tone of the article that certainly merits discussion. They cannot simply be reverted for vandalism though? And non use of edit summaries doesn't merit escalating warnings. Mfield (talk) 02:56, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

... Mike Crowl is our school's principal. I'm pretty sure that that's okay. Pinky7530 (talk) 04:39, 4 December 2008 (UTC) Pinky 12/03/08
how is mentioning his name a sign of disrespect? i mentioned that conroe high is the home of mike crowl. which is true seeing he is the principal. he enjoys it when we proclaim his name with exclamation marks. you don't attend our school, you would not know. so it would be okay if i took off the band thing?
and even though "some" argues about the Trivia portion, it is not scrapped yet, and until so, should trivial facts not be able to be added? and you point out that this is an encyclopedia. their purpose is to help present facts about certain subjects when it is searched. so should we not make it (the page) present as many fact as possible? Pinky7530 (talk) 04:58, 4 December 2008 (UTC)Pinky 12/03/08

Greetings, DMacks. The semi-protection you applied recently to Solar energy has made a major difference in maintaining the article's integrity. The reduced need for cleanup chores is a blessing to me (& others, I'm sure). I wonder if you could take a look at the histories of a few other articles that are likewise perennial targets for vandalism? If you agree that they are hard hit, could you please give similar long-term semi-protection? The three worst on my list at the moment are Nikola Tesla, Physical exercise, and Empire State Building. For some reason these are magnets for vandalism, and it is hard keeping up with reversions and issuance of warnings. Thanks in advance for your help. Hertz1888 (talk) 21:38, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
Dear DMacks,

I refer you to our verifiability content policy, which clearly states, in the very first sentence "The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth—that is, whether readers are able to check that material added to Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, not whether we think it is true" (emphasis mine). There's a good reason for this, anyone can claim that a private letter makes a statement, but any reader should be able to verify that claim. I understand that material need not necessarily be published in order to be verifiable, but it's my understanding that Wikipedia's verifiability policy demands that any material cited is a publicly available and published reliable source. I think the relevance of publication is that published materials are likely to have been better fact checked and authenticated. Of course I could have missed an important caveat with regards to this. Do you think you could point out to me where we allow unpublished but verifiable material? Cheers. Alun (talk) 12:56, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

first -i was offended, believe me that I know how to “read molecular formulas”.
second - to the last change in the molecular formula of sodium percarbonate I agree - but the previous chemical/molecular formula, 2Na2CO3·3H2O2, was an erroneous one (or at least misleading): as you wrote, "xABC" means "x of the ABC molecules" and because “water” (actually H2O2 ) of crystallization is inseparable part of the formula the molecular formula 2Na2CO3·3H2O2 implies that there are 4(=2*2) sodium ions per 6(=2*3)H2O2, were truly there are only 4 sodium ions every 3H2O2 (or 2Na : 1.5H2O2)
this fact is reflected only in the chemical formula [Na2CO3]2·3(H2O2) or Na2CO3·1.5H2O2 but not in 2Na2CO3·3H2O2
third - excuse me for my English, I'm not native English speaker.

I moved the list of bots from what had been a "list of popular bots" to See Also to help neaten things up a bit before working on the navboxes.

It is only a remote similarity, as the aryl group is replaced by a cycloalkyl group. I think this is tenable. A similarity which would be less remotely would be a substituent on the aryl. In this sense... what is the problem? Why did you revert? It is not even aromatic or planar any more but a chair configuration. 70.137.173.82 (talk) 18:14, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
Besides the crap was used as an anorectic in Germany in the old days: Eventin - Minden (25mg). It had rather mild central stimulating effects, main effects were sweating, lump in the stomach (anorectic!), jittery and clammy hands. So also pharmacologically only remotely related to amphetamines. Available OTC, only used by some fatsos to lose weight, ah yes and by some crazy kids who were desperate to try everything. But it was one of the worse OTC pills, really unpleasant. (Before the Yankees came and would make such crap abuse a fashion or even hysteria, and after that make forbidding all such crap a hysteria because the weaklings would get hooked on it, probably because of their calvinist morale or something.) 70.137.173.82 (talk) 18:31, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
Seemingly aryl vs cycloalkyl makes a huge difference. The 25mg tablets described above were really only mildly centrally stimulating and decidedly "unpleasant" and OTC, with peripheral effects dominating over central stimulation. Much like ephedrine but with more unpleasant restlessness, anxiety, sweating, teeth clenching. The centrally stimulating effect felt more like too much caffeine. The pharmacological difference is so striking that even the DEA thinks the stuff has no value as a drug of abuse. Thats why they allow it to be put in the inhalers. Only a few kids think the stuff is abusable, but they would also huff paint thinner. The receptors think it is a huge difference... So I like to emphasize the difference, such that nobody has false hopes. 70.137.173.82 (talk) 03:44, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

From the chemical standpoint, even if mechanistically the cyclohexyl doesn't differ so much from the phenyl, they behave much different due to the resonance effects of the distributed electron cloud in the aromatic system, e.g. the first substituent directs further attacks into the 3 and 4 positions under some circumstances. Seemingly analog to harmonics 2*f and 3*f in a circular (toroid) probability wave model. (dividing the circle into 2 half circles or 3 thirds) So this creates reactive points in the phenyl, which are not present in a cycloalkyl, because it has no smeared out pi-electron probability densities and no such standing wave phenomena. Insofar the interaction with 3,4 substituted neurotransmitters and their systems may be completely different. (e.g. dopamine) So I would call the analogy superficial and spurious, only limited to the classical mechanistic model, therefore remote. Thats why I am talking about remote similarity. Please correct me, of course you are the chemist and I am only an old electrician. 70.137.173.82 (talk) 08:02, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
As you are teaching chem: Is my understanding of the decomposition of the aromatic electron densities into two counterrotating probability waves, interfering with each other, in a toroid potential tunnel (with 6 bumps) correct? Is the understanding of the direction of electron donating or withdrawing substituents on second and third substituents as a standing wave phenomenon of this interference correct? Is it feasible to think of spatial harmonics (in the sense of 3-d fourier transform) in a polar coordinate representation of the eigenvalue decomposition of the differential equation solution? Or my imagination going wild? 70.137.173.82 (talk) 19:58, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Do you like candy? If so, what is your favorite? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Miss Hollister (talk • contribs) 06:57, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
Heya Dmacks
I've made some changes to this article... any comments? Anything else to improve on? Thanks. --Rifleman 82 (talk) 14:07, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
Hi DMacks. Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my talk page :) Marek.69 talk 03:54, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
Actually, the claims of these edits to “Goat” (which were not mine) are correct. You are of course correct that sourcing is needed. —SlamDiego←T 23:49, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
the link comes from a band we played with, you click our name and it goes to some label that has nothing to do with it. so your page is inaccurate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by K3ynan (talk • contribs) 05:52, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
if it wasn't notable why was it up on their page, without us knowing about it I'm trying to make the page correct. —Preceding unsigned comment added by K3ynan (talk • contribs) 06:11, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
Hello DMacks. At User talk:64.113.184.21, I think you blocked for one year, but the template says indefinite. How about a ((uw-block2)) with appropriate parameters? EdJohnston (talk) 18:09, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
Hi, i just change taipei article conutry to ROC, the ROC government is control the taiwan island, that is just says the fact, so it is not Vandalism, no need to push your politics everywhere.thanks.
Since you're involved, I wonder if you'd like to comment on this discussion on semi-protection for element articles: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Elements Thanks! SBHarris 00:07, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
...here. I normally wouldn't have a problem with someone leaving an additional, clarifying unblock decline in light of an edit conflict, but don't you think you are just stoking the fires here just a bit too much? A polite "no thanks" probably would have a better effect than pepetuating the evolution/creationism debate, n'est ce pas? --Jayron32.talk.contribs 01:50, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
Hi! I notice you did an AFD on those Spring Branch ISD schools.
Have you read this? Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Memorial Drive Elementary School
See, all of those schools won the National Blue Ribbon Award. This is their claim for notability. This caused the schools to survive AFD before. You said "Merger with the article Spring Branch ISD mentioned months ago, ignored." - No, it was proposed, and it failed as you can see in this AFD. WhisperToMe (talk) 02:44, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
Since Juwiki didn't sign his post, I thought you created the AFD. I'll post this on his talk page. WhisperToMe (talk) 02:59, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

why do you keep editing the information about World Financial Group to some MLM scam. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.234.58.123 (talk) 00:28, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
I'm not sure User:Vote Cthulhu is as open to help and collaboration as it perhaps first appeared. Erasing all suggestions from the talk page without comment or apparent heed of them does not make others more inclined to try again to help. Aleta Sing 03:35, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
Thanks DMacks, I will be more careful. I'm new to editing articles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MonkeyMountain10 (talk • contribs) 21:06, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
Hope you approve of my additions this time ;) Sorry about the changes before. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MonkeyMountain10 (talk • contribs) 05:50, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
howdy DMacks - thanks for your input on the Free-zine page. Just to let you know that I have permission from the author of the source material to use it. I am following the Wikipedia channels to change the status of the page, but wanted to drop you a line as well in the hope it might expedite matters.
Thanks!

Thanks for the advice - I will get the author to email wikipedia. Interestingly, and the reason I wanted to post this on Wikipedia (and have the author's permission to do so :) is that there is not a heap of information on this topic, and we are really defining a category here, which I think is pretty exciting.

Hello. I agree that redirects should normally be avoided on dab pages, and I almost wrote the first line exactly as you did, but I noticed MOS:DAB#Linking to a primary topic, especially the Danzig example. Let me know what you think. (P.S. the 'see also' is a good idea.) Station1 (talk) 04:54, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi, DMacks. Could I persuade you to unprotect New York? It's been four months, and I think that's long enough to prevent new users from editing a such an important article. Thanks! Powers T 19:07, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
I do trust that you will make the same warning to andy who has repeatedly impuned me personally by suggesting that I am not what I say that I am and that the many editors who have either edited the articles that he dislikes or who have argued against their deletion simply do not know what they are talking about. Otherwise you must admit to sharing his bias.Vote Cthulhu (talk) 22:09, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
Is this... Devyn. Remember creating the article Lindsey Sprague in US History when she was the teacher intern? This has to be someone from Marcus Whitman High School<lol I wrote that one. You're an administrator, wow. Daniel Christensen (talk) 16:21, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
That account was created on the same day as that article was deleted. Did it used to be that autoconfirmation was not necessary for creating articles? Daniel Christensen (talk) 14:36, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
