Congradulations[edit]

Hello Masterhatch, we and countless of other Wikipedians & Internet users have been chosen 2006 Person of the year, by Time magazine. Congradulations. GoodDay 21:58, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That weren't yesterday :) GoodDay (talk) 14:54, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nope! Was a long time ago. Thinking back to my life in November of '06 compared to now... wow things are different. And in a good way. Masterhatch (talk) 15:01, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Do note, my spelling has improved, since then ;) GoodDay (talk) 15:39, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ouch[edit]

I'm used to Lecen's emotional posts & edit summaries. But, in his edit-summary, he didn't have to snap at you, too. GoodDay (talk) 13:11, 12 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Rebellion links[edit]

Thanks for fixing those links in the two articles. Probably my fault, although I don't remember it. By the way, I recognise some of locations in your pix from the south-east corner.  :) Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 16:28, 12 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello User:Mr Serjeant Buzfuz, yeah, easy tell where I spend most of my time by my pix! As for fixing links, sometimes at work I have time to kill and that's an easy way to kill time and learn something! I've read so many articles I would never have even thought about reading if I hadn't gone through articles just fixing links. Masterhatch (talk) 20:32, 12 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Don’t know if you heard: https://regina.ctvnews.ca/mobile/sad-to-see-it-go-renowned-kenosee-restaurant-destroyed-in-overnight-fire-1.5581820 Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 06:17, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I heard on the radio this morning. Sad. Masterhatch (talk) 06:35, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Autopatrolled granted[edit]

Hi Masterhatch, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the autopatrolled right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. However, you should consider adding relevant wikiproject talk-page templates, stub-tags and categories to new articles that you create if you aren't already in the habit of doing so, since your articles will no longer be systematically checked by other editors (User:Evad37/rater and User:SD0001/StubSorter.js are useful scripts which can help). Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! -- TNT (talk • she/they) 00:15, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Happy New Year, Masterhatch![edit]

Nomination of List of players who played only one game in the NHL for deletion[edit]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of players who played only one game in the NHL is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of players who played only one game in the NHL (3rd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.

Rollback granted[edit]

Hi Masterhatch. After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when using rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
• Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
• Rollback should never be used to edit war.
• If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
• Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! – Juliancolton | ^Talk 21:41, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Cbc[edit]

You've again deleted the content while referring to the talk page discussion in which you supported not deleting the content on the Poilievre article. I'm not interested in tit for tat editing so could you please explain what you actually want on the article talk page? From what I can see you complained that the material didn't warrant its own subsection, another user chimed in with agreement, the editor who added it asked why and supported leaving the material, you then said you supported leaving the material just in a different subsection. I've moved it twice per that discussion and both times you've deleted it without really saying why. Do you want the material deleted or do you want it moved? XeCyranium (talk) 00:10, 19 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

XeCyranium several reasons were given by me and another user for its exclusion and not one reason given for inclusion. Before we decide where, we gotta decide if it goes back in. Participate in the discussion on the talk page there and let's see what happens. Masterhatch (talk) 00:28, 19 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

When posting my earlier message I was and still am the last person to have participated in that discussion. You didn't add to the discussion when you last deleted the information while citing the talk page. I don't say this to be rude but I think you may be confusing the different discussions around that article. I'm only talking about the CBC info and its placement. I was under the impression that you supported its inclusion and were against it being placed in a unique subsection because that's the last substantial thing you said on the talk page about it. XeCyranium (talk) 01:17, 19 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry. I should have been clearer. I'd support the re-inclusion of defund CBC in a sense that if a strong argument was brought forth to show it should be included, I can be persuaded. User:Peter Gulutzan's most recent edit actually is a reasoned argument to keep it out that has pushed me more towards "exclude". Present your argument for reincluding it and let's see where it goes. Masterhatch (talk) 02:52, 19 February 2022 (UTC) Right now, there are exactly ZERO arguments for reincluding it. That doesn't bode well. Masterhatch (talk) 02:54, 19 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Masterhatch, I think you forgot to sign your post about tar baby. I might comment later. Peter Gulutzan (talk) 15:34, 19 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your revert on Kamila Valieva[edit]

You reverted my edit, but could you explain why? The page is in the category Tatar sportspeople, so I changed "Russian" to "Tatar" in "Kamila Valeryevna Valieva (Russian: Камила Валерьевна Валиева; Tatar: Камилә Валерий кызы Вәлиева, Kamilä Valeriy qızı Välieva; born 26 April 2006) is a Russian figure skater." Faster than Thunder (talk | contributions | block) 00:07, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Her nationality is Russian. Further down the article in Personal life it says "Valieva was born on 26 April 2006 in Kazan, Russia. She is of Volga Tatar ethnicity." I hope that helps. Masterhatch (talk) 00:28, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In "Russian figure skater", can we change "Russian" to "Volga Tatar" or should we add "of Volga Tatar ethnicity"? Faster than Thunder (talk | contributions | block) 01:20, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see an issue if Tatar is added to the lead as long as it remains clear Russian is her nationality. It was replacing Russian with Tatar I had an issue with. Masterhatch (talk) 02:22, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Why is that an issue? Faster than Thunder (talk | contributions | block) 03:32, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

She is Russian and you removed that and replaced it with Tatar. That's what the issue is. Having both Tatar and Russian is fine but replacing Russian with Tatar is not. Masterhatch (talk) 04:20, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Short descriptions[edit]

You said in your edit summary of the list of golf courses in Saskatchewan that you believe every article should have a short description. That is a list not an article. You should know the difference. Plus, putting "none" as a short description isn't constructive nor helpful. Mr. C.C.^{Hey yo!}_{I didn't do it!} 21:36, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I guess I should've linked to WP:SDNONE in my summary to clarify. Masterhatch (talk) 03:18, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Important information[edit]

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date. You have shown interest in climate change. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic. To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place {{Ds/aware}} on your user talk page and specify in the template the topic areas that you would like to opt out of alerts about. For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor. Bishonen | tålk 19:42, 25 April 2022 (UTC).[reply]

Masterhatch, I believe Bishonen is female. If so, there might still be time to correct your pronoun use as long as nobody has replied. Peter Gulutzan (talk) 16:53, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Masterhatch, the notification above does not indicate that you are an offender (likely not at all!) by any means, but you were getting close enough to the topic of climate change denial and deniers, like Rebel News, that the standard DS notification above was warranted. It does not imply guilt. I always welcome them as friendly reminders.

Also, to clarify my comment on the talk page, it's more than fair to let editors (like you and Peter) know the principles at play. Any editor (not necessarily you specifically) who even appears to defend views (in this case climate change denial) from unreliable sources risks the same reputational damage as happens to those unreliable sources. Sadly, we actually have many editors who have a reputation as unreliable/fringe editors. They are the ones who oppose RS and whose views are generally only found on unreliable sources. They are a huge time sink.

Around here, your reputation and credibility are your most valuable currency, not years of experience or number of edits (neither of us are newbies). I just want you to be careful and choose your wikifriends and topics wisely. Make sure no one can ever get the idea you side with the views pushed by unreliable sources. I have seen the sad results of guilt by association. People get judgmental and don't always understand the backgrounds of discussions. Good editors have had to bend over backward to repair undeserved damage. It's sad. So just carry on the good work. If your intentions are clear (and editors who just complain open themselves to the risk of being misunderstood), don't hesitate to improve all types of articles.

There are a couple threads on my talk page which I just leave there to clarify my views. Take at a look at this and this. I should make others that clarify my views on mainstream vs fringe topics, such as those related to vaccines, climate change, alternative medicine, and other such topics. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 17:48, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
