Hi Mcmachete, I wonder if you've given any thought to the Cuba/US relations article. It would be a good way to explore the issues in a wider form away from the main Cuba article. I would be willing to work on that, but remember that the keystone of Wikipedia is NPOV, and that article would need to adhere to that format. Do you have any thoughts?--Zleitzen 23:39, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Saw your note. Haven't got home internet access at the moment and too busy at work for distractions. We will continue later...MichaelW 08:11, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi Mcmachete, do you have any interest in Cuban sport? My knowledge of the subject is limited to boxing, but there's talk of page in the pipelines.--Zleitzen 03:34, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
Hi Mcmachete, Cuba-United States relations is now open for business.--Zleitzen 14:09, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Apologies

I really do want to sincerely apologize for my overreactions to you on the Cuba article. Since I got overly bothered by the presentation of suicide numbers, I've seen you've made a number of really good and NPOV improvements to a variety of areas (mostly "cultural", which could really use some improvements apart from the tiresome political tirades). I confess that I tend to categorize editors too quickly. I see the rampant partisanship of editors like anticom, Drogo, and now Ultramarine (whom I've seen better stuff from elsewhere), and quickly jump on some slight perceived flaw in your presentation to conclude you're one of the "ideologues".... but that's totally unfair of me. The nonsense like "Cuban government employees are editing the article" sort of makes me even jumpier (but you didn't write that). You and I might disagree on various questions, but your edits clearly show you value NPOV, which is the goal here.

Thanks for the great work on. LotLE×talk 18:24, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ray Lewis (disambiguation)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have perfomed a web search with the contents of Ray Lewis (disambiguation), and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Ray Lewis. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot 04:13, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Robert Marve

A {{prod}} template has been added to the article Robert Marve, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{db-author}}. MECU≈talk 15:05, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Texas A&M vs. Miami

Hi McMachete. I noticed you edit the 2007 Miami Hurricanes football team article. I don't know if you noticed it, but I have typed up a pregame summary for the A&M vs. Miami game on the 2007 Texas A&M Aggies football team article. Let me know what you think about the summary, and feel free to add it to the Miami article if you like it. BlueAg09 (Talk) 21:33, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sports scores

Regarding your recent edit to the scores at 2007 Miami Dolphins season, I wanted to let you know that the proper style is for scores to always go high-low. So the score is presented 31-28, 14-7 or whatever no matter who wins or loses. The L before indicates loss so the order of the scores is not supposed to.►Chris NelsonHolla! 19:28, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sagarin charts, I respectfully disagree

Robapalooza: As I've asked before, please discontinue placing this graphic or anything pertaining to Sagarin predictions from 2007 Miami Hurricanes football team. I appreciate your efforts, but my objections stand: "While interesting, I am not convinced the table is particularly encyclopedic. (WP:CBALL, WP:IINFO)." I don't think it belongs in any article - the betting line is enough - but since I edit the Miami Hurricanes, I'd rather not have to keep removing it. --mc machete 00:41, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

I respect your right to remove the chart, but I also have a right to include such charts. I respectfully submit that the charts are not a "crystal ball" at all. Rather, the charts are simply summaries of statistical information about the strength of each team based on past performance as compared to the statistical strength of future opponents. I also respectfully disagree that the charts are merely indiscriminate collections of information. Still further, out of 13 articles that include this kind of graphic, you're the only one to object. In any event, I hope you guys beat Boston College.  :-) --Robapalooza 18:37, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
