Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hello, MaximumGrossTakeOffWeight. Welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions. My name is Howicus, and I've been an editor here for some time. Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful: If you're working on creating a new article, you should take a look at this page on your first article, and use the article wizard here to get started. Also, this page has instructions on how to cite sources, complete with videos.
 * Introduction and Getting started
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article
 * Simplified Manual of Style

If all this Wikicode is a little overwhelming, this cheatsheet may help untangle it.

If you're looking for a tutorial of sorts, The Wikipedia Adventure is a good option.

And if you need more help, I'd recommend getting live help at the Wikipedia help chat channel: click here to join. Additionally, you could ask me on my talk page, try the Teahouse (a help page for new users) or and a volunteer will visit you here shortly

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. Again, welcome, and have fun editing! Howicus (Did I mess up?) 02:49, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I saw your draft at User:MaximumGrossTakeOffWeight/MGTOW (Men Going their Own Way), and I thought I'd give a couple of suggestions. First, I wouldn't use Google trends in your article, as raw stats like that aren't always a good indicator of how much something is actually being talked about.  Second, since your article is specifically about MGTOW, you should avoid articles that only talk about a related concept without actually using the phrase "Men Going their Own Way", as what you need to show in the article is that Men Going their Own Way specifically has gotten significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. Howicus (Did I mess up?) 02:49, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
 * p.s. I now have this stuck in my head. Howicus (Did I mess up?) 02:49, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 13
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Antinatalism, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ignorance is bliss. 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.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:09, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

DARVO
I've changed your "DARVO" reference in the Gaslighting article to a link to Denial, and included your Freyd quote there, which I think is the material you were wanting to reference through that link. However, there's nothing in the Freyd quote that supports the use of the acronym DARVO itself, and since it appears to be a neologism, you would need to show that it is used by multiple independent reliable sources before using it here. -- The Anome (talk) 12:40, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

MGTOW
Thanks for creating Draft:MGTOW: that looks like a good start on an article, and unlike when the original article was deleted in 2007, the phenomenon does indeed now appear to meet Wikipedia's criteria for notability. The phenomenon itself, however, fills me with sadness. -- The Anome (talk) 13:27, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Can you create the article page? I am not familiar with how the article creation process works.  Who actually decides to create the article? --MaximumGrossTakeOffWeight (talk) 14:58, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi. The articles are reviewed by volunteers who specialize in doing this -- it's likely to take a week or so, but they will get round to it eventually. -- The Anome (talk) 08:51, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Men Going Their Own Way has been accepted
 Men Going Their Own Way, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

You are more than welcome to continue making quality contributions to Wikipedia. . Thank you for helping improve Wikipedia! Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 13:19, 26 December 2015 (UTC)
 * If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the  [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation/Help_desk&action=edit&section=new&nosummary=1&preload=Template:AfC_talk/HD_preload&preloadparams%5B%5D=Men_Going_Their_Own_Way help desk] .
 * If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider.
 * Thank you very much. Please also create the pages MGTOW (and Men going their own way, which should be a redirect).  On the Web, according to the number of Google search results (hits), "MGTOW" is used much more frequently than the full phrase "Men Going Their Own Way".  So MGTOW should be the primary page.  —MaximumGrossTakeOffWeight(talk). 13:27, 26 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi, I'm just following up on the request to move Men Going Their Own Way to MGTOW. The way to do that is through a requested move. Just follow the linked instructions to begin a discussion as to whether Men Going Their Own Way should be moved to MGTOW. I realize this can be a confusing process, what with drafts and redirects and requested moves, but we will get it all sorted out sooner or later! Thanks, /wia 🎄 /tlk  12:31, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Oops, and another thing. If you would like MGTOW (Men's rights) to be deleted, the way to do that is to nominate it for deletion at RfD. There are instructions there, but they are somewhat complicated, and in practice I find it easier to use something like Twinkle to nominate pages for deletion. Let me know if you have trouble with the nomination and I'll help if I can. Thanks, /wia 🎄 /tlk  12:33, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Men Going Their Own Way


The article Men Going Their Own Way has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * This recently created article synthesizes a lot of fluff media into an article that reads more like an essay. Excessive citations raise more questions about notability than they answer.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on |the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

MGTOW for DYK?
Hi MGTOW,

Have you considered submitting Men Going Their Own Way to WP:DYK? It seems like it would make a neat factoid and I believe there's a 7-day limit for new articles. I think user created images like File:MGTOW symbol.jpg can be used as part of the hook also. 72.74.206.96 (talk) 23:58, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Would this be a good or a bad thing? I don't want to invite a flood of zillions of new editors who are not familiar with the subject matter and who will proceed to mangle the contents even more.  —MaximumGrossTakeOffWeight(talk). 00:27, 29 December 2015 (UTC)


 * That does seem to be typical of controversial topics on Wikipedia. It could always be semi-protected if you do decide to nominate it. 72.74.206.96 (talk) 08:14, 30 December 2015 (UTC)


 * By the way, Terrence Popp has a pretty good YouTube video on MGTOW. Do you think it'd be worth adding to the article as an external link? 72.74.206.96 (talk) 08:25, 30 December 2015 (UTC)


 * I did so initially, but it was deleted. I suspect the entire article will be deleted soon. — MaximumGrossTakeOffWeight (talk). 10:51, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

FYI: Conflict of interest
Hi I'm just noticing your username MaximumGrossTakeOffWeight and the fact that you created the MGTOW article. Just so you know Wikipedia has rules about editing/creating articles about organizations with which one has an affiliation. I note that your first edit to wikipedia was in fact the creation of that page. Also, some of your comments at that article's AFD raise redflags "If it makes any difference, the near-consensus of the MGTOW outside Wikipedia with whom I've discussed this is agreement with my delete vote here.". Wikipedia articles and content are judged by wikipedia's standards not any external group's standards. The link in the thread tile has some useful information on how to avoid controversial edits on pages where one might have a potential conflict of interest-- Cailil  talk 16:31, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
 * My Wikipedia username was chosen on a whim. I have an "interest" in the subject matter, but I have no "conflict of interest".   MGTOW is not an "organization".  It is a social phenomenon (and, to a lesser extent, a community of interest).  The website MGTOW.com is someone's pet project and does not speak for (all) MGTOW.  I am in no way affiliated with this website.  I may or may not make a user account on their forums at some point in the future, but that would still not count as a "conflict of interest".  —''' M aximum G ross T ake O ff W eight (talk). 16:43, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

Blocked
I have blocked your account as a pointy username policy violation. You openly admit here that your username is the only other common use of the acronym for Men Going Their Own Way. Further, you have shown to have a strong point of view and even a conflict of interest about the subject due to your use of the royal we and discussing an "approved version" of the article. You may appeal this block by using the unblock -- Guerillero &#124;  Parlez Moi  07:11, 2 January 2016 (UTC)


 * In that case, I'd prefer to simply indefinitely retire this user name, rather than rename it (because the latter would cause unnecessary confusion). —''' M aximum G ross T ake O ff W eight (talk). 13:20, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
 * OK, I've released the block on your IP address, so please feel free to create a new account with an uncontroversial username. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 13:30, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
