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

== Rebellion links ==
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.  :)  [[User:Mr Serjeant Buzfuz|Mr Serjeant Buzfuz]] ([[User talk:Mr Serjeant Buzfuz|talk]]) 16:28, 12 September 2021 (UTC)
: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.

== Autopatrolled granted ==

[[File:Wikipedia Autopatrolled.svg|right|80px]]
Hi Masterhatch, I just wanted to let you know that I have <span class="plainlinks">[//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&page=User%3AMasterhatch added]</span> the "{{mono|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 [[WP:NPP|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! -- [[User:TheresNoTime|TNT]] ([[User talk:TheresNoTime|talk]] • she/they) 00:15, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

<div class="afd-notice">
<div class="floatleft" style="margin-bottom:0">[[File:Ambox warning orange.svg|48px|alt=|link=]]</div>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:List of policies and guidelines|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]] or whether it should be [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deleted]].

The article will be discussed at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of players who played only one game in the NHL&#32; (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 ==

[[Image:Wikipedia Rollbacker.svg|right|130px]]
Hi Masterhatch. After reviewing your request, I have <span class="plainlinks">[//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&user=&page=User%3AMasterhatch enabled]</span> rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when using rollback:
*Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing [[WP:TW|Twinkle]].
*Rollback should be used to revert ''clear'' cases of [[WP:VAND|''vandalism'']] ''only'', and not [[WP:AGF|good faith edits]].
*Rollback should never be used to [[WP:EDITWAR|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 [[User talk:Juliancolton|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! – '''[[User:Juliancolton|<span style="font-family:Script MT Bold;color:#36648B">Juliancolton</span>]]'''&nbsp;&#124;&nbsp;[[User_talk:Juliancolton|<sup><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:gray;text-shadow:gray .2em .18em .12em">''Talk''</span></sup>]] 21:41, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

== Pending changes reviewer granted ==

[[File:Wikipedia Reviewer.svg|right|130px]]
Hello. Your account has been granted the "{{mono|pending changes reviewer}}" userright, allowing you to [[WP:RPC|review other users' edits]] on pages protected by pending changes. The list of articles awaiting review is located at [[Special:PendingChanges]], while the list of articles that have pending changes protection turned on is located at [[Special:StablePages]].

Being granted reviewer rights neither grants you status nor changes how you can edit articles. If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.

== Cbc ==

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? [[User:XeCyranium|XeCyranium]] ([[User talk:XeCyranium|talk]]) 00:10, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

:[[User:XeCyranium|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. [[User:Masterhatch|Masterhatch]] ([[User talk:Masterhatch#top|talk]]) 00:28, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
::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. [[User:XeCyranium|XeCyranium]] ([[User talk:XeCyranium|talk]]) 01:17, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

:::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. [[User:Masterhatch|Masterhatch]] ([[User talk:Masterhatch#top|talk]]) 02:52, 19 February 2022 (UTC) Right now, there are exactly ZERO arguments for reincluding it. That doesn't bode well. [[User:Masterhatch|Masterhatch]] ([[User talk:Masterhatch#top|talk]]) 02:54, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
Masterhatch, I think you forgot to sign [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Pierre_Poilievre&diff=1072680485&oldid=1072672078 your post about tar baby]. I might comment later. [[User:Peter Gulutzan|Peter Gulutzan]] ([[User talk:Peter Gulutzan|talk]]) 15:34, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

== Your revert on [[Kamila Valieva]] ==

You reverted my edit, but could you explain why? The page is in the category [[:Category:Tatar sportspeople|Tatar sportspeople]], so I changed "Russian" to "Tatar" in "'''Kamila Valeryevna Valieva''' ([[Russian language|Russian]]: Камила Валерьевна Валиева; [[Tatar language|Tatar]]: ''Камилә Валерий кызы Вәлиева, Kamilä Valeriy qızı Välieva''; born 26 April 2006) is a Russian [[figure skater]]." '''[[User:Faster than Thunder|Faster than Thunder]] ([[User talk:Faster than Thunder|talk]] &#124; [[Special:Contributions/Faster than Thunder|contributions]] &#124; [[Special:Block/Faster than Thunder|block]])''' 00:07, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

: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. [[User:Masterhatch|Masterhatch]] ([[User talk:Masterhatch#top|talk]]) 00:28, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
:: In "Russian [[figure skater]]", can we change "Russian" to "Volga Tatar" or should we add "of Volga Tatar ethnicity"? '''[[User:Faster than Thunder|Faster than Thunder]] ([[User talk:Faster than Thunder|talk]] &#124; [[Special:Contributions/Faster than Thunder|contributions]] &#124; [[Special:Block/Faster than Thunder|block]])''' 01:20, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

:::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. [[User:Masterhatch|Masterhatch]] ([[User talk:Masterhatch#top|talk]]) 02:22, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
::::Why is that an issue? '''[[User:Faster than Thunder|Faster than Thunder]] ([[User talk:Faster than Thunder|talk]] &#124; [[Special:Contributions/Faster than Thunder|contributions]] &#124; [[Special:Block/Faster than Thunder|block]])''' 03:32, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

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. [[User:Masterhatch|Masterhatch]] ([[User talk:Masterhatch#top|talk]]) 04:20, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

== Short descriptions ==

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.  <span style="background:red"><span style="color:white">Mr. C.C.</span><sup>[[User talk:Mr. C.C.|<span style="color:white">Hey yo!</span>]]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/Mr. C.C.|<span style="color:white">I didn't do it!</span>]]</sub></span> 21:36, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

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

== Help with COI edits on Daryl Katz ==

Hi. I noticed your interest in hockey and participation in [[WP:HOCKEY]]. There are some recent developments regarding NHL team owner Daryl Katz that I would like to clarify in his article. I opened [[Talk:Daryl_Katz#Allegations_dismissed_/_Neutral_language| an edit request to revise the text]] about the dismissed allegations, with suggested language that puts the content in context, makes it more readable, and is more neutral overall. A different editor prematurely closed the request in my opinion. I would really appreciate you reviewing my suggested language and making these changes. Thanks in advance. [[User:DJ for Katz|DJ for Katz]] ([[User talk:DJ for Katz|talk]]) 17:17, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

:[[User:DJ for Katz]], I brought the issue to [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ice Hockey]] so anyone interested in hockey can be drawn to the issue. [[User:Masterhatch|Masterhatch]] ([[User talk:Masterhatch#top|talk]]) 17:57, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

== [[Pregnancy]] ==

I don't know whether you have read the Talk page, since you haven't participated in the discussion there, but there is a clear 6:3 result so far ''in favour'' of the material you removed. I would suggest self-reverting, participating in the Talk discussion, or both. I'm also curious how you found that particular edit in the first place. [[User:Newimpartial|Newimpartial]] ([[User talk:Newimpartial|talk]]) 22:56, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

:I have 958 pages on my watch list. I hope that answers your question. [[User:Masterhatch|Masterhatch]] ([[User talk:Masterhatch#top|talk]]) 23:25, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
::Not really. You revert my edit to an article you haven't touched in at least 10 years, but the month we toussle at ANI? That doesn't seem like a plausible coincidence to me. [[User:Newimpartial|Newimpartial]] ([[User talk:Newimpartial|talk]]) 02:29, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
:::I fail to understand your concern. I wasn't canvassed if that's what you're thinking. No one asked me to go there. I had actually been following the conversations and edits there for a while. I stepped in when I felt I needed to step in. There are many, and I mean ''many'' articles on my watch list that I have never editted.

== Recent edits on Convoy article ==

Hey @[[User:Masterhatch|Masterhatch]], user [[User:Mittgaurav|Mittgaurav]] recently made a few edits to the [[Canada convoy protest]] page that seem fairly biased to me, or at least in violation of [[WP:UNDUE]], though the user does seem to be editing in good faith.

== Invitation to participate in a research ==

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this '''[https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/962595?lang=en anonymous survey]'''.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Research:Wikipedia Administrator Recruitment, Retention, and Attrition|Meta page]] and view its [[wmf:Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Administrator Experiences 2024 Survey Privacy Statement|privacy statement]] .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Research|WMF Research Team]]

== Page: Woman ==

Hello Masterhatch. 

As you recommended, I went to read the talk page. How sad! It's because of things like this that I'm becoming increasingly disillusioned with wikipedia. So much noise for nothing: to keep a photo that isn't even very representative of the female sex in general. Why not a photo of my aunt?

But wiki is like that. And if one day the famous "consensus" establishes that the earth is flat, maybe we'll see that written  on a page.

[[User:Mcorrlo|Mcorrlo]] ([[User talk:Mcorrlo|talk]]) 18:09, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
:[[User:Mcorrlo]], there's no reason why a better pic can't be found for Woman. I agree, the current one isn't very good BUT we haven't been able to agree on a different one (so stays status quo). I think the only thing that seems to get agreement is no collage. But not everyone agrees on that either. If you see a better picture, bring it up on the talk. I know I'd be willing to agree to a different pic if it was better. [[User:Masterhatch|Masterhatch]] ([[User talk:Masterhatch#top|talk]]) 20:31, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

== Meghan Murphy unmarked residential school graves ==

If they're considered "unmarked graves" rather than "mass graves" (even though that's the term Murphy used in the second article) would you like me to change the wording? [[User:JPHC2003|JPHC2003]] ([[User talk:JPHC2003|talk]]) 00:39, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
:[[User:JPHC2003]], I reverted your edit because the graves are not mass graves, just unmarked. If she calls them 'mass' and you're quoting her directly, that's one thing. But to use your own words to describe them as 'mass' is incorrect. That second article has a paywall so i couldnt read past the first paragraph. I don't see an issue if you re-add it and fix the wording. [[User:Masterhatch|Masterhatch]] ([[User talk:Masterhatch#top|talk]]) 04:47, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Hi Masterhatch! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of [[:What Is a Woman?]] several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the [[WP:Edit warring|edit warring policy]] disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article [[Help:Talk pages|talk pages]] to try to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus#Through discussion|consensus]]. If you are unable to agree&#32;at [[{{TALKPAGENAME:What Is a Woman?}}]], please use one of the [[Wikipedia:Dispute resolution requests|dispute resolution options]] to seek input from others.
