A belated welcome! edit

 
Sorry for the belated welcome, but the cookies are still warm!  

Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, mcfar45. I see that you've already been around a while, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on Nobletripe (talk) 10:09, 17 February 2012 (UTC), consult Wikipedia:Questions, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there.Reply


You're a fucking idiot - no really - you are an IDIOT. I edited the poor grammer you asshole.

Mountain Lion edit

Please don't template the regulars [1] or use rollback for edits that aren't clear-cut vandalism [2]. Thank you, —Ruud 12:29, 2 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Sorry about that, I got startled by something outside my window and accidentally hit the wrong button. This will not happen again. Mcfar54 (talk) 12:35, 2 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Accidents happen. You might still want to remove the warning you left for User:Cybercobra in that case, though. Cheers, —Ruud 16:57, 2 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

STiki: A new version and a thank you! edit

Greetings mcfar54. As the developer of the STiki anti-vandal tool, I would like to thank you for recent and non-trivial use of my software. Whether you just tried out the tool briefly or have been a long-term participant, I appreciate your efforts (as I am sure does the entire Wikipedia community)!

I write to inform you of a new version of the software (link goes to list of new features). This version addresses multiple long-term issues that I am happy to put behind us. Try it out! Provide some feedback!

The STiki project is also always seeking collaborators. In particular, we are seeking non-technical colleagues. Tasks like publicity, talk-page maintenance, advertisement, and barn-star distribution are a burden to technical development. If you are interested, write me at my talk page or STiki's talk page.

As STiki approaches two significant thresholds: (1) 100,000 revert actions and (2) 400 unique users -- I hope to have your support in continuing the efficient fight against unconstructive editing. Thanks, West.andrew.g (talk) 23:59, 11 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

July 2012 edit

  Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made to 2012–13 Chelsea F.C. season: you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. TheIrishWarden - Irish and proud (talk) 09:10, 18 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

I completely forgot about that. I'll remember it next time :)Mcfar54 (talk) 09:13, 18 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Congratulations! edit

 
The Anti-Vandalism + STiki Barnstar
 

Congratulations, Mcfar54! You're receiving this barnstar because you recently crossed the 1,000 classification threshold using STiki. We thank you both for your contributions to Wikipedia at-large and your use of the tool. We hope you continue your ascent up the leaderboard and stay in touch at the talk page. Thank you and keep up the good work! West.andrew.g (developer) and   Tentinator   10:50, 19 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

About your request for deletion on Sr. Margarita Guzon. MMCCS edit

I have recently reverted your csd tag on Sr. Margarita Guzon. MMCCS, as A7 only applies to people who have no claim of importance, and does not have to pass WP:Notability. Founding two schools would be considered a claim of significance. Thanks! Darylgolden(talk) 11:07, 21 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

You make a very good point and to be honest I was unsure myself when tagging it. Thank you for your feedback :) Mcfar54 (talk) 11:21, 21 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Star Track Express edit

Did you read what you reverted to here? --Closedmouth (talk) 15:05, 27 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Woops, sorry about that. I should have taken a bit more time. Lesson learnt :) Mcfar54 (talk) 23:51, 27 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment.

If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Rollback edit

 

I have granted the "rollbacker" permission to your account. After a review of some of your contributions, I believe you can be trusted to use rollback for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, contact me and I will remove it. Good luck and thanks. – Gilliam (talk) 06:17, 20 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Do you know ツバメ? edit

煌く水面の上を 夢中で風切り翔る 翼をはためかせて あの街へ行こう 海を越えて

僕はそう小さなツバメ 辿り着いた街で触れた 楽しそうな人の声 悲しみに暮れる仲間の声

みんなそれぞれ違う暮らしの形 守りたくて気付かないうちに 傷付け合ってしまうのはなぜ 同じ空の下で

僕らは色とりどりの命と この場所で共に生きている それぞれ人も草木も花も鳥も 肩寄せ合いながら 僕らは求めるものも 描いてる未来も違うけれど 手と手を取り合えたなら きっと笑い合える日が来るから 僕にはいま何ができるかな

誰かが手に入れた豊かさの裏で 帰る場所を奪われた仲間 本当は彼も寄り添い合って 生きていたいだけなのに

悲しい気持ちに飲み込まれて 心が黒く染まりかけても 許すことで認めることで 僕らは繋がり合える

僕らにいまできること それだけで全てが変わらなくたって 誰かの一日にほら 少しだけ鮮やかな彩りを 輝く宝石だとか 金箔ではないけれど こんな風に世界中が ささやかな愛で溢れたなら 何かがほら変わるはずさ 同じ空の下いつかきっと

それが小さな僕の大きな夢 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 銭形兵次郎 (talkcontribs) 09:16, 3 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
