Alright stop. Collaborate and listen...
I realise that typed words, especially around here where it's all about rapid-fire editing, often make users sound (or rather, read) abrasive and haughty—that might describe me, but words can be deceptive. Being the chatty type I enjoy a good typing exercise (via talk pages, not edit summaries), so if I come across as hot-headed, unyielding, overbearing or snide, give me a chance and work with me! We'll almost certainly create a better article that way, and I'll always remember an editor who likes a team effort.
From 2008 to 2014 I mainly edited music album articles relating to instrumental rock and jazz fusion, whilst creating a few soundtrack and film score articles as well. Other genres in which I regularly dabbled include power metal, heavy metal, progressive metal, progressive rock, and hard rock. For the curious, my username derives from guitarist Tony MacAlpine's nickname of "T-Mac", combined with the song "Dreamstate" from his 1987 album Maximum Security. Otherwise, call me Mac.
In 2015 I created a few ski jumping articles (and its badass sibling ski flying; rewritten from scratch and now a GA). In the same year I started creating bio articles for professional boxers and began work on MOS:BOXING, a much-needed style guide for WikiProject Boxing, which finally got finished in 2016.
