Disambiguation link notification for June 11
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Solar (comics), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Scott Williams (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Request for peer review
Hii Maclean25. I am a new editor on Wikipedia and i request you to review the Lucknow article.

So keeping it short and simple, i am looking for your suggestions on making it a high quality (GA or FA worthy) article. link for PR:-https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Peer_review/Lucknow/archive4 Thanks, Wikiboy2364 (talk) 17:10, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

RTI International
Hi Maclean. You performed the "Good Article" review on this page in February-March of last year and no significant changes have occurred to the article since then. Recently editor user:Exit8 has tagged it for alleged neutrality problems, claiming the article has been subjected to COI whitewashing (I have a COI).

Their point-of-view appears to come from the book "The Shock Doctoring", which claims to "[Expose] the thinking, the money trail and the puppet strings behind the world-changing crises and wars of the last four decades." The book seems to make a lot of bold claims of corrupt political manipulation that I have not seen in other sources.

I was wondering if you had a minute to take a look at the discussion here and evaluate whether the neutrality tag is really appropriate. CorporateM (Talk) 15:10, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

Reception sect
Hey there, thanks so much for the GA Review!

I wasn't sure which stuff you thought was more Style and genre vs. Reception material, so wasn't sure which to move where.

Also, that might make the sect a bit smaller.

Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks again for the review,

Peer Review
Dear Maclean25,

Would you be interested in peer reviewing Utica, New York? This article has been going through a massive overhaul over the past month. It's had a lot of WP:WTW added, confusion, a WP:FORUM on its talk page, and has gone through WP:PP and WP:S-P. Eventually, I think it is capable of being a WP:GA, but it's not ready to tread those waters until the breadth and depth is taken care of, and everything is verified, valid and reliable.

ArbCom elections are now open!
MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 12:50, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Signpost exit poll
Dear Wikipedian, you recently voted in the ArbCom election. Your username, along with around 155 other usernames of your fellow Wikipedians, was randomly selected from the 2000+ Wikipedians who voted this year, with the help of one of the election-commissioners. If you are willing, could you please participate (at your option either on-wiki via userspace or off-wiki via email) in an exit poll, and answer some questions about how you decided amongst the ArbCom candidates?

If you decide to participate in this exit poll, the statistical results will be published in the Signpost, an online newspaper with over 1000 Wikipedians among the readership. There are about twelve questions, which have alphanumerical answers; it should take you a few minutes to complete the exit poll questionnaire, and will help improve Wikipedia by giving future candidates information about what you think is important. This is only an unofficial survey, and will have no impact on your actual vote during this election, nor in any future election.

All questions are individually optional, and this entire exit poll itself is also entirely optional, though if you choose not to participate, I would appreciate a brief reply indicating why you decided not to take part (see Question Zero). Thanks for being a Wikipedian

The questionnaire
Dear Wikipedian, please fill out these questions -- at your option via usertalk or via email, see Detailed Instructions at the end of the twelve questions -- by putting the appropriate answer in the blanks provided. If you decide not to answer a question (all questions are optional), please put the reason down: "undecided" / "private information" / "prefer not to answer" / "question is not well-posed" / "other: please specify". Although the Signpost cannot guarantee that complex answers can be processed for publication, it will help us improve future exit polls, if you give us comments about why you could not answer specific questions.
 * Q#0. Will you be responding to the questions in this exit poll? Why or why not?

 * Your Comments:

 * Your Comments: Of course, experience with the arbitration process is positive. I also look for experience in dispute resolution (mediation). However, regardless of the forum, I want to see candidates who take initiative to resolve open items, not just chirp from the sidelines and fly away.

Earl Scruggs article
Hi Maclean25, A few months ago, you reviewed my article, Earl Scruggs, and I appreciate it. I have nominated it for a "good article", and I wondered, since you have already taken the time to review it, if you would support it? I have one previous GA, so I know a little about the process. I see you have a long list of them as well as featured articles—very impressive, but none are in the music category. My mentor, who nominated my other GA, Diane Schurr, is Fuhghettaboutit, whom I consider a good friend, but this article is not in his scope of interests either. Any advice?

Joeyconnick keeps editing this article and has an OBVIOUS bias: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Horgan You originally stepped in and suggested that we need to reach a consensus in the talk section of the article. Now, Joeyconnick is editing the article with an OBVIOUS bias and WITHOUT discussing it in the talk section. There is an edit war going on between him and several others. Several weeks ago, Joeyconnick undid my changes and said we need to discuss this in the talk section, now again, he is making obviously biased changes himself WITHOUT discussing it in the talk section.

Jeff Arnold article: Sharecare public offering
Hi Maclean25. I started a conversation over at the Jeff Arnold (Internet entrepreneur) talk page, stemming from an edit you made to the Sharecare article about its public offering. I figured this update may be of interest to you, so would you be willing to take a look when you have a moment? Thanks! SCbhaynes (talk) 02:49, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

Your sandbox
Hi,

It looks like you copy Wikipedia articles into your sandbox. It was marked as a copyright violation requiring revision deletion. I've declined this request as best as I can tell, it is all unattributed copies of Wikipedia content. On that note, the licensing for Wikipedia requires attribution, even if just copying it to your sandbox. You can do so by specifying it in the edit summary or making a note of it in the talk page. Please be sure to do this both for license compliance and so we don't have more confusion of copyright violations. See Copying within Wikipedia for more details. Regards. -- Whpq (talk) 02:16, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
